Hiring professional home exterior remodeling companies is essential to ensure a seamless and efficient window replacement or installation process. Experienced and skilled window installers are less likely to make critical mistakes that could compromise the performance and longevity of your windows. In this post, Triangle Home Exteriors lists four common mistakes that good window installers avoid.
1. Poor Measurements and Fit
A reputable window installer understands the importance of precise measurements. One of the most significant mistakes to avoid is failing to measure the window openings accurately. Good installers will carefully measure the dimensions of the existing openings to ensure that the new windows fit snugly. Proper measurements prevent gaps or spaces that can lead to air leaks, energy loss and water infiltration.
2. Inadequate Insulation and Sealing
Professional installers know the importance of using high-quality insulation materials and sealing products. They won’t cut corners by using inferior materials or skipping the sealing process. Inadequate insulation and sealing can result in drafts, reduced energy efficiency and potential water damage.
3. Ignoring Structural Integrity
Good window installers consider the structural integrity of the surrounding wall when replacing or installing windows. They will inspect the framing and address any issues such as rot, termite damage or structural deficiencies before proceeding. Ignoring these issues can lead to complications and reduced window performance. Experienced window and siding contractors make necessary repairs or reinforcements to ensure a secure and long-lasting installation.
4. Improper Window Operation and Functionality
Good window installers take the time to ensure that the windows open, close and lock correctly. They will test the functionality and make necessary adjustments to guarantee smooth and trouble-free operation. This attention to detail prevents issues with window operation down the road.
