Sorry, we don't have Home Window Replacement professionals in your area right now, but we're hoping to reach you soon.

Home window replacements have several options depending on where you live, your budget, and your energy efficiency requirement. 

There are 18 different types of windows available on the market with double-hung, casement, and sliding being the most popular window installations for their affordability and durability. 

When choosing a window option, look for the following: 

• Type of window based on utility and size of space to install. 


• Type of window frame material, like vinyl or wood, that suits your climatic region and aesthetic requirement of your home. 


• Type of window glass installation to increase energy efficiency and save on energy bills. 


• The window brand you choose based on budget, features, warranty, and customer services provided. 

One of the top qualities to look for in a local replacement window contractor is that you fully trust in them and feel they are going to be reliable in completing your window installation project. 

At Modernize, we frequently speak to homeowners about their window replacement projects. In our recent interviews, half of the homeowners who undertook a window installation home improvement project were doing so to increase the value of their home. 80% of our homeowners found a window contractor through local referrals. It’s always important to properly vet and research contractors near you before choosing your perfect fit, even if a friend or a family member personally vouched for them. 

A local reliable window company will be able to assess, identify, and explain the best window replacement options in your area specific to your home. It is best to approach your search for a contractor with a set of ideas as to what you want and need with new home windows. Are you looking for a top brand, a certain style, energy efficient options, or something else? Ensuring you know what to expect from your window replacement contractor will lessen any unforeseen complications and help you and your contractor complete your replacement window project with ease.  

The 2nd most important step in your contractor research is vetting different window replacement contractors and comparing their work. 

• Review each window contractor’s website. 


• Is it an updated and professional looking website? 


• Explore any customer reviews for your contractor choices. 


• Are the reviews and ratings mostly positive? Consider negative reviews and responses as well. 


• Request price estimates from at least three to four window replacement contractors near you.

The more estimates you consider ahead of your project, the more likely you will find the best possible price. Ask your local contractors about seasonal offers and incentives for additional savings.

Once you have a list of the best replacement window contractors, it’s time to reach out to them. A trustworthy window contractor will appreciate an opportunity to discuss your project further, and a conversation allows you to get to know them on a more personal level. Here are the top questions you will want to ask a local window replacement contractor on the phone before meeting in person.  

• How long have you been in business? 


• How much experience do you have with window replacement and installation? 


• What is the cost estimate of my replacement window job? 


• Can you provide a list of references for past jobs you’ve done? 


• Can you provide proof of insurance for personal liability, worker’s compensation, and property damage coverage if I were to hire you? 

Yes, having a licensed and insured contractor will help keep you safe in case there is an issue during the window installation. Working with them will ensure that both major and minor details of the projects will be taken care of efficiently.
