Upgrading your windows is a great way to increase curb appeal and energy efficiency. Window installation offers a beautiful return on investment when you decide to sell your home, too. However, you must look for certain qualities in a company to ensure seamless installation. Here are five to consider.

1. Experience

Ensuring the company has plenty of professional experience installing windows is essential. Don't hire a brand-new company without experience because they offer a great deal. Usually, you'll wind up spending more money on hiring a company with the expertise to fix mistakes the first company made! Instead, ask a window installation company how much experience they have before hiring them.

2. Quality Materials

Most companies specialize in installing specific windows. Wood and vinyl windows are the most popular choices among homeowners. In fact, according to Yahoo Finance, the worldwide vinyl windows market share is estimated at $190 million in 2023. Conduct your research to determine which material you're interested in. Then, find a company that offers installation of those materials. This ensures you have the windows you want.

3. Other Service Options

Ask the window company what other services they offer, such as door installation. It's common for homeowners to get windows and doors replaced together, especially if you want to make your home more energy efficient. It'll be convenient to work with one company for both services. Fortunately, our team at J&L Windows and Doors offers both services!

4. Professionalism

A company should always act professionally when working with customers. They should listen to your questions and respond respectfully; work with a company that shows up when they say they will. Positive and professional customer service shows you can trust the company and its products to be reliable.

5. Transparent Pricing

A reputable company will always be transparent regarding pricing factors. Avoid companies that are vague when discussing the estimated cost of windows and labor. This is a red flag, as the company may overcharge you. Instead, work with a window installation company that can tell you how much you'll spend on everything.

Finding a reputable window company can be challenging, so save yourself some time and call us at J&L Windows and Doors! We're happy to discuss your new window options.
