A Basic Guide to Finding the Right Window Contractor

With so many contractors offering window replacement services, the sheer amount of options can overwhelm the average owner. That’s why it’s important to have the right contractor at your side to assist you with selecting the right windows for your home.

A Basic Guide To Finding The Right Window Contractor

Local Contractors Only

The first thing you need to do is narrow down your list of options by sticking to local contractors only. This is because local contractors have a physical address that you can visit if you need to discuss details about your window replacement project. Local contractors are also aware of local building codes and the climate so they can recommend options that will best suit your needs.

Look for Licensed and Certified Contractors

While contractors can have varying levels of skill, they must still have a minimum level of competence necessary to install your new windows properly and according to manufacturer’s specifications. One of the best ways to ensure that is to check each contractor for the necessary paperwork. You’d want to look for a contractor license certification from the manufacturer of your chosen window brand.

Consider Client Reviews

If you want to get an idea of how good (or bad) a window contractor’s work is, you can always look for feedback from previous clients. Since they are local contractors, there’s a good chance a neighbor or a friend has already worked with those contractors, and they can tell you about their own experience as fellow homeowners.

Choose Reasonable Prices

Window replacement will always cost a significant amount of money so you need to find out which contractor will give you the best offers. You shouldn’t go for the cheapest quotes to avoid sacrificing quality. Pick a contractor that offers a reasonable price to get a good balance of quality and cost efficiency.

"Have nothing but great things to say about the window installation done today by John Hutchinson with Renewal by Andersen! He was friendly, personable and professional and did a great job installing. He did a great job of putting down roller pads and tarps with next to zero clean up. Would highly recommend them for any window replacement needed!"

"We had our new Renewal by Andersen windows installed on June 5th & 6th, 2025 and we LOVE them! The quality, beauty, and functionality are best-in-class! The whole experience from dinner presentation at Lazy River Grill, the initial in-home sales consultation and measurement, the regular communications from the salesman and concierge, and the installation team’s professionalism and skills made the process so seamless. This is the second home we have opted for Renewal windows and doors and have been delighted both times! Thank you Renewal by Andersen STL! "

"I had an excellent experience with RbA STL. Our designer, Courtney, was great and the finished product is awesome. The installation was easy and the gentlemen left our home cleaner than they found it upon entering. I would recommend RbA STL - you’ll get tired from their constant contacts, and that’s a GOOD thing!"
