4 Questions You Should Ask Your Window Contractor

Installing new home replacement windows requires working with an experienced window contractor to ensure the success of your project. It may be difficult to choose from a pool of companies, so we’ll help you narrow down your choices.

Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City lists the four questions you should ask your window contractor.

1. What Window Styles Do You Offer?

It’s a good idea to ask this question so you can gauge the level of expertise they have. Ideally, you’ll want to work with a window contractor that can install all kinds of windows. Our window company is proud to offer a complete selection of window styles to choose from.

2. What Frame Material Do You Use?

Ask what materials your local contractor uses for their frames. We use Fibrex®, a composite material made from real wood fibers and thermoplastic polymer. This gives our frames the same resistance and stability as real wood but with the low-maintenance properties of vinyl. Our use of this high-quality frame improves our casement window replacement process by making our windows more durable, energy-efficient and weather-resistant.

3. What Glass Options Do You Offer?

Glass plays a key role in windows, so it comes as no surprise that you should ask what kind of glass your prospective contractor offers. At Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City, we offer High-Performance™ Low-E4® Glass ideal for seasonal climates. Our glass is 56% more energy-efficient in summer and 47% more energy-efficient in winter than ordinary dual-pane glass.

4. Do You Offer Warranties?

Finally, ask if your window contractor offers warranties for their products. At Renewal by Andersen of Rapid City, we offer some of the strongest window warranties in the industry. When we replace your windows, we give you the peace of mind knowing that you’ll have the best windows for your home.

Our window services range from awning windows installation to window replacement. Call us today at (605) 341-7831 to learn more about our services. We serve Spearfish, SD and nearby cities.
