The Best Window Contractors in Anne Arundel County MD Are the Ones Proven Safe To Hire

The state of Maryland requires window contractors in Anne Arundel County MD to be licensed by the state in order to do any residential windows, but without any kind of exam of competancy in the field, merely requiring that they have worked in the building industry in some manner for only two years, or have no industry experience but have two years of related education,  (though not specific to replacement windows or new windows). Contractors need no such license to perform as window installers for commercial buildings.

So the state license for window installers is no guarantee that any particular installer of new windows in Anne Arundel County MD is even competent, is doing business ethically, providing real value, or satisfying customers.

This makes it all the more significant that all companies for new windows in Anne Arundel County MD who bear The Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 symbol have been cleared by our research staff as passing all the requirements for Prime Buyer's Report-TOP 10 status such as survey phone calls to previous customers to verify high satisfaction, good complaint record, verified state license, only employees legal to work in the U.S., and more.

In addition to saving you money on utility bills due to the improved insulating properties of new windows, window replacement is one of the few things that freshen the look of both the inside and outside of your home at the same time.

There are dozens of choices of new window styles and window brands from which to choose and good window replacement companies in Anne Arundel County MD can help guide that choice. The Prime Buyer's Report offers these tips to help you find your way through your choices for new window sales and window installers.

Questions To Ask About New Windows in Anne Arundel County MD

 

When choosing which window contractors to hire, ask these questions about their experience, range of services, credentials, and methods and materials:

• How long have they been doing windows in Anne Arundel County MD specifically? (Different regions have their own unique weather  that will effect choices in materials, window options and installation method. The length of experience doing windows in your location specifically shows familiarity with these aspects.)

 
• How many installations have they done similar to yours, in terms of size of job, residential versus commercial, wood versus vinyl, custom fabricated windows versus pre-manufactured, energy efficient windows, etc.?

• Can the window replacement company give you names and numbers of customers who had a similar kind of installation done who you can call as references? (All window contractors in Anne Arundel County MD bearing the Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 symbol have already had their customer references called by our research staff so you don't have to.)

• Will they provide a written estimate that is detailed, including brand names and product numbers of the windows, as well as the type of material and amount used for installation?  (This is key because cheap window contractors in Anne Arundel County often only seem cheaper because they are using less material, or inferior quality windows compared to others which will not last and require expensive repairs and maintenance later.)

 
• How long will it take them to complete the work?

• What are the manufacturer warranties on the new windows to be installed?

• Do they provide a written warranty for their labor, aside from manufacturer warranties?

• Will permits be needed? If so, will the contractors be responsible for getting them or do they leave that up to you?

• Can the company vouch that all employees sent to your property are legal to work in the U.S.? (All window contractors in Anne Arundel County MD bearing The Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 symbol have already signed an agreement to only hire documented workers.)

• Will they show you proof of active workers' compensation and liability insurance? (All window replacement companies in Anne Arundel County MD  bearing the Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 symbol have already had proof of insurance verified by our research staff so you don't have to.)

• Do they use only their own employees, or do they hire subcontractors, and if so, what are the names of those companies?

When you've chosen the best window contractors in Anne Arundel County MD for your specific needs, make sure they are properly licensed by the state of Maryland since that's required by law. (All window contractors in Anne Arundel County MD bearing the Prime Buyer's Report—TOP 10 symbol have already had their license verified by our research staff so you don't have to.)
