4 Questions to Ask During Window Replacement Consultation

Replacing your windows can be an exciting experience for you and your family. New windows will improve the appearance of your home, reduce your utility bills and make your home more comfortable to live in. However, as enjoyable as this project can be, it can also be daunting and confusing, especially if it’s your first time dealing with contractors.  

4 Questions to Ask During Window Replacement Consultation

In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City shares four questions you should ask during your initial window replacement consultation.

1. How Do the Windows Operate?

Because windows play an important role in how safe, private and well-ventilated your home is, you’ll want to know how they work. When it comes down to it, a specific style of window may be better suited for your home depending on the function that you want in your windows. Safety, security, cleaning, ventilation and climate control are some of the factors you should consider when selecting which window style or locking mechanism is suitable for your needs. 

2. Do Your Windows Come in Colors That Would Work With My Existing Color Scheme?

You want the interior and exterior finishes of your new windows to complement the existing color palette of your home. In most cases, homeowners don’t select window color until they’ve decided which company to hire. Before you spend hours listening to a sales presentation or researching a specific company, make sure the color of the windows they offer is something you would want if you ever decide to hire them to do the work. Some high-quality windows can be ordered in custom colors, making this decision much easier.

3. Are There Any Hidden Fees?

A home improvement project like window replacement can be expensive, and if there are any hidden fees, the price will get higher. Keeping this in mind, you should ask directly if the project has any hidden costs. Remember that as a homeowner, you should be aware of all fees and services that will be provided to you. This way, you’ll know exactly where your money is going.

4. Do You Install Egress Windows?

Every home improvement must adhere to building codes. In every bedroom, there must be an egress window to serve as an emergency exit. Your replacement window contractor should be aware of current building codes and ensure that these rules are followed both before and during installation.

"We recently replaced all of the windows in our home. I was most impressed with the friendly staff who knew what I wanted before I did. They seemed to be able to find the perfect window for each one we replaced. We are very pleased with the result. From beginning to end they were professional and helpful. I would highly recommend Renewal by Anderson."
