Replacing your doors and windows can be a very exciting project. It’s essential to your home’s integrity to track your window’s efficiency and replace them when needed. Naturally, homeowners tend to commit wrong decisions under the pressure of a home improvement project. To help you avoid them, Renewal by Andersen® of Phoenix lists three common mistakes homeowners make when replacing windows.
- Not Upgrading to Energy-Efficient Windows
You may think that using the same type of window as before is safe, but you should consider upgrading to a new and smarter window. Now that you have the opportunity to install new windows, consider your other options. Carefully take into account what your home needs in choosing a new window. If you’re still stuck on traditional windows, you should try and learn more about energy-efficient windows. Your home will thank you for the advantages that the energy-efficient window offers.
- Insisting on Doing It Yourself
You can still be hands-on and involved in your home improvement projects without making the mistake of doing it yourself. When it comes to window and hinged french door installation, it’s best to hire a trusted local contractor. Attempting DIY may seem easy with all readily available tutorials online, but the high risk of wasting time and money on repairing your installation mistakes is not worth it. Leave it to trained and skilled professionals to properly install your replacement windows.
- Not Hiring a Reliable Contractor
It’s always better to have more than one option. Do not settle on a single project quote from one contractor. It is encouraged to make a shortlist of trusted window companies you can choose from. There are several things you need to consider when choosing a window contractor. You should make sure that they are licensed and insured, among others. It’s important to learn your prospect’s history, certifications and expertise.
