Window and Door Services in San Rafael, CA
We live in California. While there are some political issues that cause some people to scoff at those of us who live out here, we know we’re the lucky ones. When you live in San Rafael, you understand what it means to be surrounded by beauty, to be a short drive away from the mountains, or the ocean, and to be able to cruise through Napa wine valley.
You also understand that your home is your castle and as a result, you want the best for it. You work hard every day of the week to provide for your family. You invested a lot in your home and when you want something to be replaced, you’re not looking for the quick fix; you’re looking for the right solution.
When it comes to replacement windows, you understand that choosing the right contractor can make all the difference in the world. Choosing the wrong window contractor could mean that you end up with windows that are not ideal for you and your family. Choosing the wrong window contractor could mean that the replacement windows that you have installed don’t offer the kind of features or durability or energy efficiency that you would have preferred. Choosing the wrong window contractor could mean that your windows are not installed right, and you might have a leak during the next rain storm, but also come to learn that because you didn’t choose the right company, the manufacturer of those windows is not going to honor the warranty.
All of this knowledge has led you to this point where you’re searching for the perfect company for replacement windows, but the more you search, the more you’re wondering if there are any in San Rafael or who serve this area.
The simple answer is yes, there are window contractors that serve the area. That doesn’t mean that they are located within the city, but that they will come to your home and install the replacement windows that you want.
Now that you know this, how do you go about finding the company that is going to meet your exacting standards?
Begin at the beginning
It sounds a bit odd, but when you start out your search at the basics or the beginning, it will be much easier to make the right decision for you and your home. This means that you should look for companies that have been around for a while.
A window company doesn’t need to have been around for forty years, but one that has only just started might not have the reputation or a track record of being able to deliver the highest quality products and service to their customers. They might. Every company has to start somewhere, but that doesn’t mean you need to be their guinea pig.
Try to avoid independent contractors. These are individuals who operate out of the back of a van or pickup. Their ‘office’ is their home and they don’t have any real samples to show you, aside from perhaps a couple of miniature models.
These contractors might not have a great deal of experience with windows. They might have been general contractors before the Great Recession hit, but when the housing market crashed, they might have lost a lot of work, leaving them scrambling to do any type of jobs that they could find.
It’s not worth taking the chance to find a diamond in the rough when so many of these contractors simply don’t know enough about replacement windows to help you make the right decision for your home and family.
Then, of course, you have a small, independent company that has been around for a few decades. A company like American Window Systems, Inc. could provide you with the information that you want, with the expertise that you deserve, and the professionalism to help you be comfortable with your decision on new windows every step of the way.
Buying new windows is a process.
That’s right. Buying new windows for your home is a process. It shouldn’t be a quick, two-minute decision. You might spend days or even weeks trying to learn about all of the available options and choices when it comes to replacement windows for your home in San Rafael.
If you end up with a company, or a salesperson, that is trying to ‘close the deal’ right away, telling you that you need to act now in order to save all that money on those new windows, then guess what? You’re likely going to end up making the wrong decision.
This is about investing in your home. Would you like to be pressured into buying a brand new car and having to make a decision on the spot about such an investment? Most of us don’t appreciate that and when we leave, even if we love the car, we don’t generally have a positive impression about the salesperson that pushed us too hard.
When it’s about your home, and your comfort, you deserve to be treated with respect and dignity throughout the process. How can you get that respect and dignity? By finding a company that understands everything there is to know about windows, that is willing to take the time to listen to what you want and what you need for your home, and that is going to be patient with you while you make a decision.
You don’t need to make a decision right away about replacement windows. Unless the windows in your home are busted out or being held up by duct tape, you have time. Take it. Gather information about the different types of windows that you can choose from and the energy efficiency or other options that modern windows offer.
