Central Exteriors • July 9, 2024

As a homeowner, choosing the right window installer can be a daunting task. Yes, countless companies claim to offer high-quality service but identifying the best of the best requires some serious scrutiny. It's essential to pay attention to certain precise details, especially when it means adding value and efficiency to your home.


This post provides a guide to help you select the best installer for windows and doors in Rockville and Asheville.


1. Experience is Essential


Experience is a crucial factor when it comes to window installation. An installer with many years of experience is more likely to provide excellent service and resolve unexpected issues promptly. At Central Exteriors, we've been proudly serving homeowners since 1956, building a reputation for quality and reliability in both Rockville and Asheville.


2. Check for Certifications


Certifications show that a window installer has undergone scrupulous training and meets industry standards. Look for installers who are certified by leading manufacturers, showcasing their knowledge in installing specific brands. Central Exteriors is proud to have NARI-certified remodelers on our team, a testament to our high level of competence and ethical standards.


3. Examine Their Range of Products


Window installers who offer a broad range of products are more likely to meet your specific needs. Be it vinyl windows or specialty windows, a versatile installer can cater to your preferences. Here at Central Exteriors, we provide a comprehensive suite of window types, predominantly vinyl, that aligns with a variety of architectural styles and budgets.


4. Assess The Quality of Their Materials


The quality of materials used during installation greatly impacts the durability and efficiency of your windows. Make sure your installer uses high-grade materials that stand the test of time. At Central Exteriors, we use top-quality products that are not only visually appealing but also technologically advanced for superior energy efficiency.


5. Get a Clear Picture of Installation Procedures


A professional window installer should be able to provide a clear and concise explanation of their installation process. This helps you understand what to expect during the installation and ensures the installer is following best practices. Our team at Central Exteriors always explains our procedure to customers - we believe in transparency.


6. Look For a Robust Warranty


A robust warranty safeguards your investment and shows that a company stands behind its service. At Central Exteriors, we offer a dependable warranty that covers both materials and workmanship.

Online reviews and referrals provide valuable insights into a company's reputation. Check for positive customer testimonials, rating scores, and referrals from friends, family, or neighbors.

9. Request a Detailed Quote


Ensure the quote you receive from your window installer is detailed and clearly states what is included in the cost. The quote should itemize materials, labor, and any additional charges. As part of our commitment to transparency, we provide detailed, no-obligation quotes at Central Exteriors.


10. Check if They're Insured


Finally, make sure you choose an insured window installer. This protects you from any liability should any mishaps occur during the installation. Rest assured, Central Exteriors is fully insured for your peace of mind.
