Advantages of Window Installation by a Professional Replacement Window Company

As a professional MN window company, we pride ourselves on our experience and training.  But let’s face it, we know it does not take a degree in rocket science to install a new window.

This is something some people choose to do in their own homes. However, there are several advantages of having a professional window contractor install your replacement windows. Before pulling your tools out and finding a good how-to video on YouTube, check out these reasons to have your windows installed by a professional instead of doing it yourself.

Why It’s A Good Idea to Choose Professional Window Replacement

• The reason that is most obvious is the window professional is the one taking the risks. If while the installer is unloading the new window he makes a wrong turn, that crash is on him, not you. There are so many things when putting a new window in that can go wrong. Just one small misstep and you might have a scratched frame or broken pane.
• If you’re putting in only a couple of windows in the bottom floor and you have good skills in carpentry, most likely it will not be too difficult. However, for many people, what bites them is the details. You might have a problem if you do not know what plumb is. You might have a problem fitting the window in if the opening is the exact same size as the window. Or the hole might be uneven or too big. For an average person, this can turn into a nightmare.
• If a window is not installed correctly, it will under-perform in terms of energy savings. You have luck getting the window to look pretty but your cold or hot air will go right out of it. There is an estimated 20% of heat that escapes through your windows. If windows are installed correctly, they recapture that money.
• Window manufacturers may not honor warranties on windows that aren’t installed according to their specs.
• Windows installed improperly lead to element exposure, cracked joints, and pest infestation. Serious damage can be done by water to the home and make pests that are wood-eating more attracted to it. Small entry points are made from weak spots by chewing from carpenter ants. These entry points may be made into a way in by exploring rodents.

When you hire a professional window installer, you have no worries about hitting your thumb, falling, missing a step, breaking windows, or not receiving energy savings you were anticipating.
