A professional installation is the key to the most attractive results. Many dealers offer installation as part of their service. If professional installation is not available through your window dealer, check out a few tips for hiring a reputable window contractor.

To hire or not to hire?

Whether you're building a new home, adding on to your existing home or just replacing your old windows...you may need a little help. And because your windows are such a visible and important part of your home, it makes sense to consider all of your options -- like hiring a contractor rather than doing it yourself.

Tips for selecting a contractor

The first step in selecting a contractor or dealer is to determine who can deliver the best service and craftsmanship, as well as the best window. Always ask for references (and check them out), consult with neighbors and friends who may have had a recent remodeling job done and call the Better Business Bureau in your area.

The second step is to make sure that your contractor is licensed and insured. And finally, be sure that they have been thoroughly trained and are qualified to sell and install your new windows.
