Many homeowners who install new windows on Long Island start by purchasing the windows, then proceed to hire a contractor to perform the installation. While this is one way to get your windows installed, there’s a better way.
At Renewal by Andersen of Long Island, we sell and install our own windows. All work is done in-house. When you visit one of our showrooms, you’ll see a variety of products all made by Renewal by Andersen. When you make a purchase, our fully trained installers remove your old windows and install the new ones.
Why is that better?
Shopping for the windows can be a time consuming process, and finding a reputable contractor who will be around to service any warranty issues takes even more time. A thorough vetting process is required to ensure the contractor you choose is capable of installing the windows that you’ve purchased. Throw in the search for financing, and window shopping can take weeks or months.
When you’re buying windows from the same company that does the installation, the process is far more streamlined. There’s no hunt for a qualified contractor; the company who sold you the windows is the contractor. Large companies provide access to financing as well. This one-stop shop service makes shopping for windows relatively fast and easy. With fewer choices to make, window installation is less stressful and more satisfying.
When you buy windows from a manufacturer and seek a separate contractor to install the windows, you’ll have to consider two warranties: that of the contractor, and that of the window manufacturer. If there is ever an issue with your windows, how do you know who is responsible? You can easily get into a game of “he said, she said” where the contractor blames the manufacturer and the manufacturer blames the installer, leaving you with questionable warranty coverage.
When you purchase windows from the same company that does the installation, there’s only one warranty to cover purchase and installation. That’s just one less thing to read through and consider when you’re making your decision, and you know you’re covered if there’s ever an issue.
While there are window installation standards, every window manufacture has their own installation specifications. When the seller and installer are different entities, there’s no guarantee that the installer knows the intricacies of actual windows being installed. On the other hand, no one knows how to install your windows better than the factory-trained installer. When your window manufacturer, dealer and installer are all under the same umbrella, you can be confident your windows will be installed correctly the first time.
