Replacing windows is a major investment in both time and money. Whether you’re installing double hung windows or other types, it is important to ensure that you have a good contract with a reputable contractor. This way, you can protect yourself and your home from any issues during or after the installation.
In this article, Renewal by Andersen® of Denver shares some of the most important details that a good window replacement contract should have.
Materials and Labor Cost
The terms outlined within the contract should be clear enough so there’s no ambiguity when it comes time for payment upon completion of work. This includes detailing all materials, including brands and models as well as labor costs associated with installation, removal and haul-away services. Also, consider whether or not there will be warranty coverage once everything has been completed.
Insurance
Ensure the insurance coverage details before signing any agreement. This includes workers’ compensation insurance which protects you from being held liable if someone is injured while working onsite.
Licensing
When selecting a window replacement contractor, check their qualifications, professionalism and reputation before signing anything. Make sure that they are adequately licensed in your area for the job and insured for liability purposes in case something goes wrong during the installation or afterward. You should also ask the contractor about their licensing requirements specific to those required by local municipalities. This will help protect against potential problems down the line due to non-compliance issues after installation.
Time Frame
Make certain there is an agreed-upon timeline established upfront. This would detail how long it would take from start to completion. This includes additional provisions like holidays, where no work may take place, seasonal hours and limitations. Understanding exactly how much total time it will take ensures everyone involved understands expectations without having to run into delays along the way.
