Window replacement can be a daunting experience, especially if it’s your first time embarking on one. You’ll want to make sure your new windows are good quality, but how exactly will you know? Confirming is easy enough. Lincoln Exterior Renovations, one of the trusted exterior home contractors in the area, shares some handy tips.
1. The new window appears well-made. Aesthetics are a big factor in choosing replacement windows. You can tell your new units are good-quality when its muntins–or grids that divide the glass–fit neatly and tightly. Take a look at the hardware and locking system included with the new windows. Are they durable and easy to handle? Does the lock work properly? You should also make sure the replacement window blends well with your home’s architectural style and exterior palette.
2. There are no difficulties in operation. High-quality replacement windows should be easy to operate. Double hung units, for example, should not jam or stick when you open and close them, while gliding windows should slide smoothly across their track with little effort. When investing in professional window installation, it pays to thoroughly check the unit’s cranks, runners, and locking devices to determine if they can withstand constant use.
3 .The replacement windows come with solid warranties. To get the most of your window installation project, make sure your new units are covered with an excellent warranty. Lincoln Exterior Renovations, for instance, offers top-tier vinyl replacement windows that come with a full lifetime warranty that covers seal failure, glass breakage, hardware, and frame.
