Asking the right questions can point you in the right direction when looking for a replacement windows company. Here are some practical questions to ask a window replacement company before selecting one.

What Window Styles Do You Offer?

Whether you already have a clear idea of the windows that you want or if you’re simply looking at what’s available, you have to know what the company is offering. Not all replacement window companies offer custom window styles or textured glass or the option to mull multiple windows together. If your remodeling plans call for such options, you should be able to narrow down your choices just by the list of offerings.

Can You Describe a Typical Project Timeline?

Experienced window replacement companies should be able to give you a nearly accurate estimate of a project timeline. On an average home, skilled installers can install replacement windows in a day, start to finish. This may take longer depending on factors, such as house size, number of windows and window styles. Bay windows, for instance, take much longer to install as opposed to simpler styles like double hung windows.

What Is Your Replacement Process?

Watch out for window replacement companies that remove all old windows first before installing the new ones. It will leave your home open to dust, dirt, pollen and small animals, especially if installation is expected to last more than a day. Instead, choose a window replacement company whose installers remove and replace one window at a time. It helps prevent air leaks, and it allows installation during any time of the year – including in the middle of the winter season.

Do You Provide Written Estimates or Quotes?

Never pick a contractor who wouldn’t provide a written estimate or quote. A trustworthy window replacement company should have no problems providing either document on or shortly after a consultation. We at Renewal by Andersen® even hand-deliver the written quote, ready for review.

Who Will Dispose of the Old Windows?

Generally, it is the homeowner who arranges for waste disposal, at cost, unless the window replacement company offers it as a part of their service. Renewal by Andersen is one such company: we properly dispose of old windows to help reduce waste that ends up in landfills.

"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."
