WINDOW INSTALLATION PART 1: CHOOSING PROS OVER DIY

Many homeowners are often torn between a do-it-yourself (or DIY) approach or hiring an installer when it comes to home improvement projects. While DIY home remodeling may look easy when following a guide on television or in books, this does not always translate over to real life. It is important to know which jobs you can do yourself and which projects are best left to the pros.

Window Installation Part 1 Choosing Pros Over Diy

The cost savings may be enticing to some, but if your skills and expertise are not up to par, any unsound or improperly done work can be costly and dangerous to correct. It’s always better to hire a professional when undertaking any project requiring permits, licenses, or building code compliance. Some repair projects such as HVAC, for instance, require special requirements only professionals could provide.

So why is working with an expert installer more advantageous than the DIY approach?

Skills and Expertise

Installers often have the skills and expertise needed to undergo any home improvement project, moreso if the said company has been in the business for several years already. They undergo specialized training and carry with them the needed tools to work with any kind of installation projects, from roof replacements to installing windows and more. In addition, homeowners with busy schedules may take longer to accomplish their project.

Safety and Security

Accidents happen anytime, anywhere. Construction projects are even more accident-prone areas. Working with an installer gives you peace of mind that your home and the construction team are protected through established protocols and safety procedures practiced. Even when accidents cannot be completely eliminated, at least you won’t have to worry about additional costs. Which brings us to the next and perhaps most important reason.

Warranties and Insurance

Installers will typically come with insurance, both for the benefit of the homeowner and the company itself. In the unlikely but unfortunate event that something was to happen onsite, the insurance policy or warranty is there to offset any cost or damage. It is the job of any installer to fix your doors or windows, for instance, and not break them. Insurance and warranty clauses exist just in case.

Curiosity may drive certain homeowners to try their h and with a DIY home improvement project. While some are successful, not everyone has the time or skills to h andle all aspects that go into these projects. Hiring a qualified and experienced installer in St Louis, MO, will give you confidence that the job is done right and complies with all relevant rules and regulations.

"I'm getting ready to do my 2nd round of window installation with Anderson Windows. I really appreciate the great financing options that they offer! They have top notch sales and installation experts who are very kind and considerate of their customers' wishes. The windows I have installed look great and I am so excited to get the next group of windows put in. My house looks so much brighter with my new windows. I definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen of St. Louis."

"We recently contracted with Renewal by Andersen to replace 5 windows in our home. First of all, we were very delighted that the time from contract to installation was less than two months. Joel and Craig arrived precisely at the agreed-upon time and spent less than four hours from start to completion of installation, including time to demonstrate opening/closing the windows and any questions we had. We were very pleased with the knowledge and professionalism of Joel and Craig, and, of course, we’re very pleased with the windows and how nice they look. We definitely recommend Renewal by Andersen."

"I replaced my front door and several windows. The install team did a great job with installation and clean up. Even covered floors and stairs. The team was very courteous and did a very professional job. Now our windows look great and we love our new door. I would recommend Renewal by Anderson in a heartbeat."
