Choosing the right contractor already ensures that your project will be a success even before you begin. To hire a reliable one, here are some of the most important questions you need to ask:
What Material Do You Use?
Any experienced window contractor would say that the material contributes a lot to the product’s longevity and energy efficiency. The most popular options are vinyl and wood, but they’re far from flawless. While the former is popular for its economical price, it’s bound to bow or crack with temperature fluctuations because of its high expansion and contraction rate. Wood is loved for its exceptional structural properties, but it’s prone to decay.
At Renewal by Andersen® of Wyoming, our windows are made from Fibrex®, a fusion of reclaimed wood fibers and proprietary polymers. Our exclusive, composite material offers everything America likes about vinyl and wood without the downsides associated with them.
How Do Your Products Guarantee Energy Savings?
If the window company says its products bear the Green Seal™ and the ENERGY STAR® label, you know they’re guaranteed to be energy efficient. However, it’s imperative to look at the window energy ratings to know whether it would work with your local climate. For Natrona and Laramie counties, windows with a U-factor of 0.27 and any Solar Heat Gain Coefficient deliver the most energy savings.
Who Manufactures Your Products?
Most windows contractors are just installers of products made by another company. The problem with this setup is that you might shoulder the expense in the event of product failure. When both parties refuse to take responsibility for the problem, you might end up paying for repairs out of your pocket.
Renewal by Andersen of Wyoming is one of the few companies that manufacture and install their own replacement windows. In case of defects, it’s easy to make us accountable because we provide both the product and the workmanship warranties. Rest assured we’ll take care of the problem at no cost to you.
