If you are looking for replacement window comparison then you need to know that there are quite a number of features to consider. I know that most people just look at the price and think that's all they need to know. Ask me and I will tell you how that landed me into problems - when I hired a cheaper company that delivered a terrible service.
Anyway enough about me let me just walk you through a few factors to keep mind as you compare replacement window companies.
· You need to find out how long they have been in business
· Find out about the number of years they have been in the business of making windows. You must opt for a company that has been around for years, which is a good sign on their service and quality delivery
· Find out about their parent company - if they have one. This has a lot of bearing on their quality and service delivery
· Check if they offer a warranty. The longer the better.
· More than just offering a warranty you need to find out what it covers.
· You must check their NFRC ratings. This will help you know what you are buying i.e. CDF, SHG, U value, air infiltration etc.
· You also need to compare the price. For example, if you need 9 replacement windows and you get a quotation of about $10 000 just know that they are reaping you off. That should cost around $5000. All in all you need to compare at least 3 quotes before you form an opinion.
· Another replacement window comparison tip - make sure that you find a replacement contractor that can sell you the windows and then install them.
· They must be willing to come to your home for an obligation free consultation. I mean how can they give you a quote if they do not know the magnitude of work to be done.
· How far off they are from where you live. The close the better.
