Windows can enhance the beauty of your home. They can bring natural light indoors, making your living space brighter and more pleasant. But even with regular maintenance, they will still eventually need replacement. When this time comes, you must work with reliable professionals.
Here are four red flags to watch out for when hiring a window replacement contractor.
1. Lack of Proper Licensing and Insurance
Ask your prospective contractors to show proof of their license and insurance. It’s risky to work with a company without proper documentation. You could be held liable if accidents or injuries happen during construction. If permits are necessary for your project, unlicensed contractors might not be able to obtain them. Failure to get building permits can cause your property’s value to suffer.
2. No Reviews or References
Whether you’re getting new siding or roofing, you must read reviews and ask for references. It will give you an idea about the quality of your prospective contractors’ products and workmanship. Ask their previous clients if they were satisfied with the service they received. Consider it a red flag if a contractor refuses to provide references.
3. Pushy or High-Pressure Sales Tactics
Dependable professionals will provide a detailed estimate, answer all your questions and give you time to make an informed decision. If a contractor uses high-pressure sales techniques or rushes you to sign a contract, it’s best to consider other companies.
4. Unrealistically Low Pricing
It may not be a good sign if a contractor offers a significantly lower estimate than others. Low pricing can indicate the use of substandard materials or poor workmanship. Before hiring a contractor, consider their experience and the quality of the products they use.
