A successful window replacement project lies in finding the right window contractor in Knoxville. Your initial search will land you more than a few potential contractors, and asking each one the following questions should help you pare the list down to a few candidates:
This question alone can dramatically narrow down your list. A contractor license, which is different from a business license, is more than just proof of a contractor’s legitimacy. It is your assurance that they are compelled to follow all applicable building codes, making the contractor a no-risk hire.
A proper insurance coverage should include both general liability insurance and workers’ compensation as protection against accidental property damage and injuries, respectively. All Renewal by Andersen contractors in the Knoxville area and across the United States comply with all local requirements to ensure no hassle before, during and after replacement window installation.
Custom-built windows offer several advantages over their off-the-shelf counterparts. The problem with pre-built replacement windows sold in hardware stores is that they only come in “standard” sizes. If your existing window opening doesn’t match, you’d have to spend more time and money resizing the opening, which is the least ideal situation – especially if you’re living in a historic property. You would also have a limited selection of colors, finishes, and styles. A window company that offers custom window sizes means no wasted money on unnecessary resizing. Plus, you have the flexibility to choose virtually any window that you want.
Avoid contractors who cannot, or refuse to, provide a written estimate at the end of the consultation, as you’re unlikely get the cost you’ve discussed when the contract is drawn. You’ll want a company that cares about giving you quality products and services – not just getting the sale.
Once you receive the written quote at the end of the consultation, you can review the written estimate and sign it at your convenience.
