Getting Help From the Pros – Going Local vs. National

Do you need to have your patio doors or windows replaced? If you answered yes, then you have two possible options: hire a local contractor, or look for a more popular national option. Both options have their merits, but which one will give you the most value for your money? Read on to find out.

Getting Help From the Pros - Going Local vs. National

Choosing Local Contractors

The biggest advantage of picking a local contractor over a more general national alternative is familiarity. Local contractors operate in your area so they already have an idea of what window or door options you will need. Local contractors also have a physical address a short drive away so discussing your project plans personally is easy. This personal connection with customers is invaluable to the success of most projects.

Going for National Brands

The biggest advantage of picking national brands is the quality and the brand’s reputation itself. A national brand will do everything it can to preserve the reputation it earned, and that involves putting more resources into ensuring the quality of their products. Big brand products are also known to have some of the best warranty coverage, which is always a big plus.

What if there’s a contractor that offers the perks of both local and national brands? That’s exactly what Renewal by Andersen® does.

The Importance of Research and Feedback

Regardless of your options, it’s best to make sure that you do enough research on the contractors you’re planning to hire. After all, you are putting your money, your property and your new doors in their hands. Make sure you check each contractor has good feedback from their previous customers so you can get an idea of what to expect from the contractor.

"Very pleased with installation of six windows and a ProVia entry door. I love the look of the windows and door. I am pleased that my wife is thrilled with the look of the door. She is very pleased that the bronze color fits in well with the color of the brick."

"I just had my Renewal by Andersen windows installed and couldn’t be happier, the entire process went very smoothly. The windows are high quality and look great. But the installers Roy, Zack and Jordan were the stars, they introduced themselves upon arrival walked me thru everything they were going to do and when they finished took me to each window to make sure I was completely satisfied. They were clean and courteous and I would definitely recommend and have them work in my home again."

"Wonderful experience with knowledgeable, competent employees. We had Andersen windows in a previous house & didn’t even consider anything else this time. After replacing our patio door almost two years ago, we replaced all our windows this year. What a difference over builder-grade windows, especially in the really cold temperatures we’ve had this year. Andersen windows may be a little more expensive than other brands, but they are top quality."
