New windows can boost your home’s curb appeal, comfort and energy efficiency. Their performance, look and lifespan depend on how well your replacement window contractor installs them. That’s why it pays to invest in an experienced and reputable company for your project.
Look out for these four red flags when hiring a window contractor.
1. No License and Insurance
Proof of license and insurance are among the first things you should ask from a window installation company. Hiring a properly licensed and insured contractor will keep you from being held liable for injuries or accidents that could happen during construction.
2. Multiple Bad Reviews
You’ll know more about your potential window contractor by reading customer reviews. Their previous clients’ feedback will say a lot about the quality of their work and materials. It’s normal to have occasional negative reviews amidst a sea of positive ones. However, it’s best to skip a contractor with very few good feedback.
3. Extremely Low Bids
Experts strongly encourage homeowners to get multiple estimates before hiring a contractor. It will give you an idea about your new windows’ cost and help you find the right professionals for your project. Be wary of unrealistically low quotes. It could indicate the contractor uses poor-quality materials or lacks experience.
4. High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Remember, a reliable contractor will never pressure you to sign anything unless you are ready. They will consider your preferences and budget before proposing solutions. Think twice about hiring an installer who rushes you into making a decision or pushing you toward their most expensive options.
