Choosing The Right Replacement Windows
Proper planning is critical to ensure you install the right windows to suit your needs, goals, and budget. Listed below are tips on how to make sure you choose the right windows for your home
Why Are You Replacing Your Windows
Ask yourself exactly what you are hoping to accomplish. Is it energy efficiency? Curb appeal? Increased home value? Low maintenance? These are the most common reasons people opt to replace their windows and should play a role in the product you choose. When you have reached the decision to purchase new windows for your home, be sure you choose the right windows to suit your needs. Some window materials may be better for one reason than another. Vinyl replacement windows meet the demands of the majority of people today.
Select a Contractor
Make sure the contractor you choose has a good reputation for quality products and installation. Make sure they’ve been in business for a long time and can provide references in your area. Are they members of the Better Business Bureau? Do they have the appropriate licensure? Do they have the right insurance? There are too many “fly-by-night” companies out there who may be able to save you money on the front end, but when it comes to needing their services down the road, they are nowhere to be found. Pay attention to their installation program as well. Is it certified by AAMA? Are they neat and professional? Considering their crews will have access to your home, these are important questions. Power Windows and Siding has completed tens of thousands of jobs right here in the region. We’d be happy to provide references of work we’ve completed near to your home. Go ahead, challenge us….

Quality vs. Price
All windows are not created equal! Again, based on your needs, you may choose to sacrifice quality in lieu of a lower price. Today’s technology is so superior that many of the “cheap” windows no longer exist. When they do, they lack a strong warranty. At PWS, we believe we are dedicated to providing you the best VALUE. We demand high quality from our manufacturers and installers, yet we sell in such volume that we are able to keep our pricing fair.
