When planning a window replacement, it’s important to find the right contractor. Nothing beats a professional’s opinion or their skills. Getting somebody you can trust can save you years in repairs and maintenance. However, it can be tricky to find one since many contractors promise high-quality service. Here are four questions to pick out the best ones.
1. Do You Have a License, Insurance and a Warranty?
Keeping you and your home safe is what a good contractor should do. That’s why you should look for one with these three documents.
A license is a guarantee that you are working with a professional recognized by the state. Insurance is financial protection from any emergencies, whether it be accidents or poor installation. Lastly, a warranty is basically a guarantee by the contractor.
2. How Long Have You Been in the Business?
The best contractors are the ones with years of experience. If you meet a contractor who has spent over five years in the business, you can trust them with your project. A tenured contractor will know how to install a bay window better than a new handyman, for example. This comes both from training and previous experiences with other clients.
3. Do You Have Any Local References?
It’s a big plus when your contractor has worked in your neighborhood. This means they know the weather and climate conditions.
Always ask for local references from your contractor. This is proof of their previous work in the area. It also means you can contact their previous clients. From them, you can learn if the contractor is punctual and communicates well, and if they’re generally worth hiring. This can help you decide on who to get for your sliding window installation, for example.
