Energy Swing Windows & Doors | WindowSmarts - What about product selection?

1-877-SWING CLEAN info@energyswingwindows.com Window Smarts 10. What about product selection? Patents Any contractor who designs and manufactures a product will have a patent registered with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. What is unique about the contractor’s design? Have him show you how the windows operate and what features are patented as unique to his company. Product Choices Take a look at all the product possibilities. For example, you may have the chance to choose between a double hung or a slider window for the same opening. Furthermore, you could even choose a whole different look and put in a bay or bow window. Look at all the products the contractor offers and ask him about what options you have. Another situation is if you want a specific type of siding, ask the contractor what kind of siding he offers and in what colors. If you want something specific, don’t be afraid to ask! Your contractor may provide the product or he might know where he can get it for you. Products Beyond Your Current Scope Oftentimes, contractors will either offer several products in one home improvement category or they may be large enough to offer other products in addition to their specialties. For example, a replacement window company may also offer their customers siding, gutters, shutters, soffit, fascia, and roofing. Within those categories, there are more options in brand, color, and style. Be sure to ask your contractor to explain to you all of your options so that you get the look you want. Are you considering any other home improvements? If you are, it will be worth your time to have the same company do the work (or at least give you a quote on the job).
