1. What should you look for in Cleveland's top rated window companies?

Choosing the best window contractor can seem overwhelming mainly because it's such a big decision for your home and your wallet. Choose wrong and you could lose money, have a frustrating experience, or receive inferior windows and installation. In order to ensure you're dealing with a reputable window and door contractor in Cuyahoga County you should look for the following;

Online Reviews

Do your homework and look at all the top third party review sites to see what other customers are saying. Places to look are Google, Yelp, Facebook, Houzz, Porch, and Angies List. Read through the reviews to get a feel for any potential trouble spots. Compare and contrast customer sentiment against other top companies. We have a solid positive customer sentiment across all 3rd party review platforms that we're very proud of.

Window Products

Find out what brands and types of windows the contractor sells. Some window companies manufacture their own windows while most will sell and install from a 3rd party manufacturer. You'll have to dig deep to really understand the quality in terms of durability and warranty. Vinyl, Composite, Fiberglass, and Wood are the most popular window materials with Vinyl and Composite being the most popular, the most durable, and budget friendly. Not all windows are created equal and not all warranties are either. We offer a robust lifetime warranty which includes accidental glass breakage.

The Sales Process

In today's internet age, most information can be found online without having to talk to a live person. When researching your next window company, examine their sales process. It's important to understand that the window industry is known for somewhat tricky sales gimmicks. For example; Buy one get one free! Do you really think you're getting a free window? It's just a way to get you hooked so that the sales person can sell you really expensive windows.

In most situations, you will be required to set up an in-home appointment where a sales person will enter your home to measure your existing windows. After the measure, they will present you with several window options and lay out a written contract ready for you to sign. It's an uncomfortable situation. Fortunately, we don't require in-home appointments to present you an accurate price. Why go through the hassle? It's 2020. We're in the digital age where almost everything can be done electronically, including window quotes.

2. How much does a typical window installation cost?

Maybe you've thought about tackling your next window replacement project yourself. Many homeowners consider saving money by doing it themselves but often find they should have left it to the professionals. Incorrect installation leads to poor performance and can void the warranty. Paying a professional company is a smart move but how much should you expect to pay per window?

Window Prices

Most of the big brand name window companies will charge anywhere from $800 to $1000 for double hung vinyl windows. Composite windows are a step up and will run a bit higher. That price includes installation. Comparatively, we charge between $475 and $700 for our vinyl and composite double hung windows. This is a general price range and can change a bit depending on energy factors, grids, and custom colors. Remember, the big brands have high overhead costs which is factored into the price of the windows. We keep our overhead costs low and pass the savings on to our customers.

3. If I live in Cleveland should I buy replacement windows online or in-person?

This really boils down to personal preference. Some people feel the need to go to a showroom and see the windows. Other people just want a good price and a good double hung window without the need to physically visit brick and mortar shop.

Your time and energy

It just depends on how much time and energy you want to spend driving, looking, and dealing with sales staff. However, there's nothing wrong with going online and buying new windows. If you are dealing with the right person they can walk you through everything via phone, email, and website. It doesn't need to be a complicated process. We provide an easy online experience for our customers. You get to talk directly with the owner and he'll even bring window samples to your home upon request. Very easy and zero pressure experience.

4. What is a Window

Simply put, a window is what sits in the wall openings in your home. It's comprised of transparent glass, a frame, and a sash. Some include grids, screens, and can be customized to any size, shape, and color. Most common types of windows are double hung, awning, picture, slider, casement, bay, bow, garden, and hopper.
