Hear About Previous Customers’ Experiences With Window Contractors

In addition to interviewing window contractors directly, you should ask each for a list of references—past customers who can tell you about their experience with the company. Any quality window contractor should be happy to provide a list of references. Expect to receive a list of five to 10 recent customers whom you can contact.

Here are some sample questions to ask a window contractor’s references:

Were you satisfied with the window installation and customer service from the company?
What was the type and scope of job they did for you (window replacement, window repair, whole house window installation, etc.)?
Did the window contractor complete the work on time?
Were their estimates carefully done and accurate?
Were there unexpected costs? If so, what were they?
Did the contractor keep you up-to-date on the status of the project?
Did the window installers show up on time?
Did they clean up after finishing the window installation?
If you need new windows in the future, would you use this window contractor again?
Would you recommend them?
Can I visit your home to see the completed window installation?

Keep in mind that references provided by window contractors can be cherry-picked or even fake, so you’ll need to use your best judgment when researching them. To get greater assurance, consider hiring a Diamond Certified window contractor. All Diamond Certified companies have passed an in-depth rating process that most other companies can’t pass. Part of this process involves conducting telephone interviews of actual customers. References provided by a window company are not equal in value to the large, random sample of customers surveyed during the Diamond Certified rating process. So, if you want quality, you’ll have confidence choosing a Diamond Certified company.
