If you’re looking to replace your windows before the winter starts, make sure that you hire the right window contractor to do the job. Replacing your windows is a big home improvement project and should only be handled by seasoned professionals. So start looking around for window contractors in San Francisco and do some research about them on the Internet, or ask for referrals from previous customers. Once you’ve shortlisted potential contractors, give each of them a call and make sure that you pick the right one by asking these questions:
- Do you have a permanent office address and contact number? There may be some San Francisco window companies that do not have a permanent office address and contact number. They might give you a post office box number when asked this question. Veer away from these companies as this could mean that they’re either not well established or could possibly be fly-by-night or scam companies.
- Are you fully licensed and insured? A fully licensed window contractor is obliged to comply with the local government’s strict guidelines on home improvement projects. Also, you should ask if they are fully insured so you won’t be liable for any damages and injuries that occur during the project.
- How long have you been in business?While the business’ long life in the industry isn’t exactly a guarantee of quality workmanship, it is a clear indication that the contractor is already established and can be depended on to run a job successfully.
- Do you have any references? You can ask this question so you can do your research about the company by asking their previous customers if they are happy with the contractor’s job.
- How long will the project take? Knowing how long the entire project will take– from removing the old windows to the replacement window installation process, to the clean-up – will allow you to schedule, plan, and budget the whole project properly.
