Questions to Prepare Before You Visit a Contractor Showroom

When planning to replace your windows or patio doors, a visit to your contractor’s showroom can help you choose the perfect products by allowing you to see different styles and hardware options first-hand. To make the most of the visit, you need to come prepared with some key questions.

In this post, Renewal by Andersen® of Central Pennsylvania discusses the questions you should have at the ready before visiting your contractor’s showroom.

What Is My Goal With This Project?

Before going to a showroom, ask yourself what you’re hoping to accomplish with the window or door replacement project. Are you looking to give your home an aesthetic makeover? Are you doing it to improve the value of your home? Or are your current windows damaged and leaking energy? By understanding your goals, an expert in the showroom will be able to guide you more effectively in choosing the best products.

What Is the Warranty Coverage?

The warranty that comes with the replacement windows or hinged French doors should be a top consideration. Be aware that not all contractors offer the same type of warranty; some warranties cover installation workmanship and the product itself, while some may only cover one or the other. By choosing a product with a strong warranty, you’ll be able to protect your investment for many years, giving you peace of mind.

What’s the Best Way to Get the Project Done?

Finally, it’s a good idea to ask the contractor about the actual process of window or door replacement. Ask them to walk you through the different steps, from manufacturing to installation day and beyond. That way, you’re informed and prepared every step of the way.
