    Window Replacement: Why You Should Entrust It to the Experts

     

    Many homeowners are tempted at the prospect of installing their replacement windows themselves, incorrectly assuming that they can save more money when they do it on their own. While it may be rewarding to install your own windows, DIY installation can end up being costlier than hiring a contractor.

    Window Replacement: Why You Should Entrust It to the Experts

    In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco explains why you should entrust window replacement to the experts.

    DIY and Poor Installation

    Many window problems are related to poor installation, including relatively harmless problems, such as air leaks to premature shrinking and aging. Additionally, a window that’s not properly installed will have its effectiveness at withstanding inclement weather reduced and put your home at risk.

    Energy Loss

    Shoddy installation also has a negative impact on the energy efficiency of your replacement windows. When it’s not properly installed, your new hardware will have gaps between the frame where air enters and escapes. Eventually, these gaps become so big that it will result in considerable energy loss as the frame expands and contracts.

    This risk is why we custom-fit our replacement windows according to your home’s measurement. Not only does this process create completely unique hardware for your house, it also reduces energy loss as the window gets older.

    Small Mistakes Are Costly

    While it’s true that DIY work requires a lot of trial and error, keep in mind that the small mistakes you commit during the installation process can end up being costlier to your home in the long run. A small mistake in the measurement and sealing will lead to a window that can lose energy and end up more susceptible to weather damage.

    At Renewal by Andersen of San Francisco, we know that the effectiveness of your replacement windows isn’t just solely because of how great the materials are. It’s also about the installation, and that’s what we guarantee: expert installation on every project.
