Windows have many benefits: they improve your home’s curb appeal, save you money on energy bills, and make your home more comfortable.
In choosing a window replacement, many homeowners tend to go with the most affordable ones available on the market. While they can save you money now, they might cost you more in the long run. Each year, many homes welcome replacement windows in San Francisco. But some of them don’t even make it halfway past their life span. So how can you be sure that your replacements will serve you for many years and in any season?
Here are a few pointers to ensure a long-lasting window:
In-house assessment. A good window contractor first assesses the condition of the window before proceeding with a project. Some even ask the homeowners several questions about the window. You know you’re in good hands if your contractor wants to learn the history of your old window. This way, they can figure out possible complications that may arise or identify damage that’s already there.
High-quality materials. A window doesn’t have to be the most expensive to guarantee its durability. If it is made of high-quality material, it can last many years. Do your research to determine which materials are of quality and which aren’t. Sometimes you can even get a high-quality window and parts at a more affordable cost.
Customized window replacement. Renewal by Andersen® of San Francisco provides homeowners with a custom-sized window replacement so you can be sure that your window fits the openings in your house perfectly. A customized window replacement will guarantee that there will be no air leaks and gaps, which translates to a reduction in the use of your heating and cooling systems.
Energy-efficiency. Another important quality that many homeowners look for in today’s window replacement options is energy efficiency. An energy-efficient window makes for a more comfortable home and can significantly lower your energy bill as well.
Warranty. Your windows should be protected from future damages. This is where warranty comes in. For instance, the warranty claims that your window’s life span is between 10 and 15 years, but after just two years, your window is already showing signs of damage. You can call your contractor and enforce the warranty.
Getting replacement windows in San Francisco CA is no small investment. That’s why it’s important to ensure your new windows are capable of serving you for many years regardless of the season.
