Home window replacement and repair in Cleveland

Windows usually last 15 - 30 years or more before needing replacement or repair. If you notice any of the following, contact a window company in Cleveland:

• Problems opening or closing a window
• Damage to any part of a window (e.g., cracking, rotting, warping)
• Drafts of air nearby a window
• Noise from outside
• Fading furniture, carpet or flooring
• Decreased curb appeal due to your windows

Most window companies in Cleveland will visit your home at no charge to examine your windows and help you determine if repair is an option.

If your window isn’t repairable and you need home window replacement in Cleveland, there are two main types to know about:

• Replacement window inserts fit into an existing frame that is in good condition. Inserts preserve most window parts and take less time to install. Consider inserts if you want to replace your existing window with another of the same size and style.
• Full-frame replacement windows completely replace existing windows, down to the opening in the home. Full-frame replacement is necessary if a window frame is beyond repair. With full-frame replacement windows, a homeowner can significantly change styles and sizes.

Replacement windows come in many different styles and materials. Styles vary in their appearance and operation. Materials differ by look, insulating properties, maintenance requirements and durability.

Look for a registered contractor in Cleveland both selling and installing replacement windows. Registered contractors in Cleveland are insured and bonded. The city doesn’t maintain an online list of registered contractors, so call (216) 664-2884 to verify a contractor’s registration.

Once you set up in-home consultations with several well-reviewed contractors, make sure to ask these questions:

• How many years have you been selling and installing windows in Cleveland?
• Do you have a list of customer references?
• Who will be doing installation? What training do staff have? Do they have certification from any professional organizations, like the American Window and Door Institute or InstallationMasters?
• How long will it take to receive my windows? How does the installation process work and how long does it take?
• Are your windows ENERGY STAR-certified? Do they have NFRC labels so I can compare energy performance ratings?
• What warranties/guarantees do you offer with windows and installation?

Get at least three written estimates before choosing a window installer in Cleveland. Check carefully that the estimate includes a summary of work to be performed, window descriptions, parts and labor costs, projected start and finish dates and permit information. As a general rule, a City of Cleveland permit is required for installing windows.
