<img src="https://s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com/dcr-apis/wp_contents/uploads/DCR-ADMIN/AdobeStock_223911039.webp" alt="undefined" style="height: ;width: "/> Originally written by Jeffrey Pickard of Five Star Windows When it comes to having new windows installed, most homeowners are concerned about getting the right products, but it’s even more important to be concerned about using the correct installation methods. According to the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA), when windows aren’t installed correctly, even the highest quality products will fail to perform and lead to problems like drafts and water damage. Even worse, poorly installed windows can create health concerns such as the proliferation of mold in and around living areas. One of the best ways to ensure a quality window installation is to make sure the installation team is professionally trained and certified. Since many window companies only have one or two certified installers on the job, verifying that every person who’s heading up your project has the pertinent credentials is a great step toward ensuring a proper installation. It’s also important to understand the difference between an installation warranty and a manufacturer’s warranty. If windows aren’t installed correctly, the manufacturer’s warranty will usually be void. To prevent this from happening, make sure the company that installs your windows offers a written installation guarantee. <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/" target="_self">Use Diamond Certified Resource to find top rated companies.</a> Local, Top Rated Diamond Certified Companies Related to Your Topic <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/santa-clara-windows/" target="_self">Santa Clara County Window Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/contra-costa-windows/" target="_self">Contra Costa County Window Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/sonoma-windows/" target="_self">Sonoma County Window Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/napa-windows/" target="_self">Napa</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/napa-windows/" target="_self">County Window Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/san-mateo-windows/" target="_self">San Mateo County Window Companies</a> Related Articles <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/Guide/Home-Windows-Skylights/" target="_self">The Homeowner's Guide to Windows, Coverings & Doors</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/find-expert-advice/" target="_self">Get Expert Advice From Owners of Top Rated Local Companies</a> <a href="https://www.diamondcertified.org/membership/" target="_self">Become a Diamond Certified Preferred Member (Always Free)</a>
