Did you know that many of the replacement windows installed in San Diego were installed by people who have never received any training in window installation? It’s true. Throughout San Diego, you’ll find windows installed by handymen, general construction crews that work for contracting companies, and even some installed by DIYers.
Now, the installation work in some of these homes may be perfectly fine, but if you are looking into having replacement windows installed in your San Diego home, you will want to look for a company that uses installers who have been trained specifically in window installation to help ensure that yours are installed correctly.
Here at BM Windows, we only use our own team of highly trained replacement window installers. These guys know windows! They have received factory training from the manufacturers we represent, and they have also received our company’s own internal training. They are some of the best in the business when it comes to quality window installation!
Here are some of the reasons why you will want professional installation for your replacement windows in San Diego:
Experience the Performance That the Window Manufacturers Advertise
As you look at the various windows’ ratings in the areas of energy efficiency and sound suppression, these numbers assume that the windows are properly installed. If they aren’t installed properly, your new windows may still let in a good amount of heat and cold from the outside, as well as noise.
Don’t spend your money on high-quality, energy-efficient windows, only to have them installed by people who know very little about window installation and who will likely use sub-par materials during the installation process! Instead, work with a company like BM Windows that knows how to get the best performance out of replacement windows and that uses the highest-quality installation materials available.
Improper Installation Can Void Your Manufacturer’s Warranty
If you ever have to make a warranty claim with the manufacturer on one of your new windows, the manufacturer has grounds to deny your claim if your windows have not been installed correctly. This will leave you either with a defective window, or it will require you to pay out of your own pocket to have it repaired or replaced.
Highly Trained Windows Installers Can Complete the Job Faster
Because our installation team does nothing but install windows, they know how to work efficiently to get the job done! Our team can often complete an installation job that involves an entire house full of windows in one day that would take other crews a full week! It’s not that our crew is rushing or cutting corners—it’s simply that they know what to do, have all the supplies on hand, and put in a full day of work.
In-house Installers Are More Likely to Care for Your Home
At BM Windows, we train our installers to care for your home as if it were their own. When they come to your home, they will protect the areas where they are working so your walls, floors, and furnishings aren’t damaged during the installation process. After they are done with the installation, they will clean up after themselves and dispose of your old windows. When they leave your home, it will look just as good, if not better, as when they arrived. If you read our customer reviews, you will notice that many people comment about how clean our installers leave their homes!
Companies that outsource the installation of the windows they sell, such as the local “big box” stores, don’t always have the same standards in this area as we do. They also aren’t supervising the installation crews to make sure homes are being left in good condition. If you purchase replacement windows through a big box store, you may get lucky and get assigned a crew that cares about protecting your home and cleaning up after themselves, but more than likely, you will get subcontractors who just want to get the job done and get paid by the big box store. They aren’t worried about customer reviews, and they often just do the bare minimum, because they have no incentive to go above and beyond.
Professional Window Installation Doesn’t Have to Cost More
After reading all of this, you might be thinking, “This all makes sense, but I’m on a tight budget for my new windows. I can’t spend extra on professional installation.”
Here’s the good news—our customers have found that the quote they receive from us is often lower than the quotes they receive from companies that don’t provide professional installation for comparable window products! In other words, you get all the benefits mentioned above for a price that often beats our competitors!
We encourage you to shop around for replacement windows in San Diego. As you do, be sure to ask the various companies if they use their own team of installers, or if the installation is outsourced to subcontractors, and if they say they use subcontractors, just know that you would be taking a gamble on one of the most important aspects of window replacement!
You’re going to spend a good amount of money on replacing the windows in your San Diego home, so don’t potentially sacrifice the quality of the work by working with a company that doesn’t prioritize professional installation work.
