4 Common Problems During a Window Replacement

June 02, 2018

You may not encounter any issues with your remodeling project, but it’s best to be prepared in case not everything goes as planned.

Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Milwaukee, the leading windows contractor in the area, discusses the most common problems during a window installation.

Choosing the Wrong Window Style

Consider your home’s overall design when choosing windows for your home. You want to get the right style to avoid compromising the architectural design. Plus, a wrong window style can affect functionality. For instance, homes with limited space should not have hinged windows. A sliding or non-operable window style is a better option to help maximize space.

Working With Amateur Window Installers

Choose a trusted company instead of hiring amateurs for your window replacement. This helps eliminate the risks of a botched installation that can lead to premature window damage after only a few years.

Replacing Old Windows By Yourself

Replacing an old window is a complicated task you shouldn’t do by yourself. Without any prior experience, you are only putting your investment at risk. You may go the DIY route with the intention of saving money, but you may end up spending more just to correct a bad job.

Prioritizing Cost Over Quality

Invest in high-quality windows that can stand the test of time. Do not pay for subpar replacement windows just because you think doing that can minimize your expenses. Always put quality at the top of your list of priorities.

Fortunately, our company creates high-quality custom-built windows that can boost your home’s curb appeal and prevent energy loss. We use advanced materials, including Fibrex® and High-Performance™ Low-E4® glass, for superior window energy performance. You can also choose from a variety of window styles that can complement your home’s design.

Hear From Our Customers

I cant express how happy we are with choosing Andersen for our window installation. Our sales representative was knowledgeable with product and answered any questions we had without hesitation. I did also fill out a survey that was sent in an email, but sadly I failed to personally name the two gentlemen that performed the actual installation. Barrett and Francisco were our guys, and let me tell you, they were outstanding!!! They did Excellent work and were professional as well as efficient and made this a smooth, none evasive process for us. I strongly recommend this company and these installers to anyone in need of windows!!! My husband and I could not be more pleased we chose Andersen for replacing our windows!!!

This was a great crew to work with. Both the original install manager we worked with (Jay) and the install team (Daniel, Mason, Tony, Ethan, and Jose). Everyone was very professional and knowledgable. They answered all my questions and the end result on the house is great. In 3 days they replaced an old bay window with a new bay window, a set of french doors on the patio with a sliding patio door, and our old front door with a new front door and storm door.

Jason and Brett did an awesome job installing our doors. We had separate installers a month earlier for our windows who also did a fantastic job. They were all very professional and cleaned up almost better than the area looked before the installation! Since these were both jobs that took more than one day the installers were great at keeping us informed on the status of where the project was at along the way.
