As you might have already heard, installing replacement windows in your San Diego home is a great way to improve your home’s insulation. New windows help your home keep out the heat and cold—even on the hottest and coldest days of the year. They can also shield your home from outside noise, which can be a game-changer if you live on a busy street or in a noisy neighborhood.
Purchasing replacement windows with good insulating technology built into them is important, but the performance of the windows will also be determined by their installation. Properly installed windows will do a much better job insulating your home than windows that were not installed using the best practices.
Proper installation is never guaranteed, but you can increase your chances of having your windows installed correctly when you work with a replacement window company in San Diego that uses their own team of trained and experienced window installers. Unfortunately, not all companies do this. Some companies outsource the installation of the windows they sell to subcontractors, who may or may not have training specifically in window installation.
BM Windows is one replacement window companies in San Diego that uses their own team of installers. Not only that, the company actually guarantees their work! Their lifetime installation guarantee states: “BM Windows Inc. warrants to the original purchaser, from the date of contract, a Limited Lifetime Warranty on all LABOR and MATERIALS used for the installation of windows and doors by BM Windows Inc.”
Don’t be confused, this installation warranty is not the same as the manufacturer’s warranty. Virtually all of the replacement windows sold in San Diego will come with a warranty from the manufacturer, which covers manufacturing defects, but very few windows will come with an installation warranty, which covers you in case any mistakes were made during the installation process. You want both a manufacturer’s warranty and an installation warranty, so your windows are fully covered in case anything goes wrong with them.
As you shop for replacement windows in San Diego, be sure to ask—specifically—if the windows you are purchasing come with an installation warranty. Don’t just assume that they do, because unfortunately, most don’t. If the representative you’re talking to says something generic like, “All of our windows come with a lifetime warranty,” make sure you press them on this and ask if the warranty covers the parts and labor used in the installation.
At the end of the day, you want your replacement windows to perform well for as long as you own your home. The best way to guarantee this is to purchase high-quality windows, have them installed by professional window installers, and have everything backed by a lifetime warranty.
