correctly. All of
our vinyl windows

-
After the new
windows are screwed
into the opening, we
insulate around the
openings with
non-expanding
insulating foam to
ensure that no air
comes in around the
window. Most
contractors skip
this important step.
We have heard them
say that it is not
necessary,
especially in
California. We say
you should and take
this simple step and
do a better job of
insulating the
opening?
-
All areas are
then caulked, inside
and out, for a
perfect
weather-tight seal.
We use the best
commercial grade
caulk that we can
find.
-
We then conduct a
complete clean up
and haul-away the
old windows and the
job trash, at no
extra charge. We
want the clean up to
be so good that you
can't tell we were
even there. (Except
for the great new
windows that we left
behind!)

-
Know what you
want ahead of
time. Have a plan.
What type of
replacement
windows do you
want? Vinyl, Clad,
Wood, Aluminum?
How many windows
do you want to
replace and what
style do you want?
Read this report
and know ahead of
time some general
questions you want
to ask, that way,
no one can talk
you into something
you don't want or
need.
-
Get a couple
of price quotes.
At least 2, but 3
would be better.
But don't get too
many, you'll just
get confused with
too much
information. Just
don't buy from the
first guy who
walks through your
door.
-
Before you let
a window company
into your home,
call the Better
Business Bureau
and check them
out. If a company
has a shabby
record of doing
sloppy business,
the bureau will
let you know. (www.labbb.org)
-
NEVER let a
company talk you
into signing a
contract "today",
with an offer of
some special deal
that is only good
for "today". This
is the oldest
trick in the book
and should be a
dead giveaway that
something is
wrong. If their
"special" deal is
so special, it
will be there
tomorrow. The
truth is that they
are only trying to
"lock" you into a
contract so that
you will not get
other estimates.
They are hoping
that if you have
already signed a
contract, you
won't go to the
trouble of getting
other estimates.
Fact is, when you
do get other
estimates, you
will find out that
their "special"
deals are just a
rip-off. These
companies charge
$1200-$1400 per
opening, which is
ridiculous! They
will try to entice
you with
outrageous offers
of huge discounts,
trying to "lure'
you into a
contract. The
problem is, their
starting prices
are so high, that
even after their
huge discounts,
the price is still
too high. If
someone uses the
term "sign today",
RUN, don't walk,
RUN AWAY!
3 Misconceptions
that will cost you
money when you buy
Vinyl Replacement
Windows
Misconception #1:
All vinyl windows
are the same.
NO! There are
several different
grades including
builder's grade or
construction grade
windows that can be
pretty flimsy. Most
manufacturers offer
several different
grades like good,
better and best. One
thing you have to
watch out for is a
company charging top
dollar for a
low-grade window.
And many companies
do just that! Check
out the window
manufacturer's
website for
information about
quality.
At Republic Windows
and Doors, we will
explain the
different windows
and help you find
the one that is
right for you. And
we will explain all
the available
features that you
need to get an
energy efficient
window, such as Low-
E glass and tinting.
Misconception #2:
Any window is better
than what I have
now.
NO! Some vinyl
windows are so
flimsy; they will
warp, sag and allow
wind and rain into
your home within a
few years time. We
have actually heard
of people having to
replace their
replacement windows.
You should only have
to change your
windows once!
At Republic Windows
and Doors, all the
vinyl windows we
carry are backed by
a lifetime warranty
on all parts, labor
and accidental glass
breakage. If you
have windows
installed by
Republic, you can
rest assured that
you have purchased a
quality window.
There is no such
thing as a window
installed for only
$189. This is bait
and switch
advertising. They
"bait" you with a
low price, and
"switch" you to a
higher price when
they get into your
home. They'll say
the window costs
$189, but if you
want all the options
that you need, the
window costs more.
The lower price does
not include
important things
like Dual Pane, High
Performance, Energy
Efficient glass that
will save you money
on your heating and
cooling bills by
making your home
more energy
efficient. The low
priced window is
usually for a very
small window as
well, as all windows
are priced based on
size.
Ask about other
services. Does the
company clean up and
haul-away the old
windows? Do they
charge for things
that should be
standard like
properly insulating
or caulking the new
windows?
Who will be
installing your
windows, factory
trained installers
who work for the
company or hired out
sub-contractors? Can
you communicate with
the installers? Do
they speak English?
What kind of
Warranties will you
be receiving?
Here is the Good
News and the Bad
News about
Warranties.
The Good news is
that most
manufacturers offer
a lifetime warranty
on all parts of the
window. The bad news
is, some don't offer
any labor to fix
that free part.
The Good news is
that most local
window dealers offer
a labor warranty.
The bad news is that
the labor warranty
is usually only for
one year, and then
you are on your own.
The Good news is
that manufacturers
and their warranties
are usually pretty
reliable. The bad
news is that the
local window dealer
can go out of
business or switch
to another window
manufacturer,
leaving their
customers frustrated
when they need
service.
Here's a tip:
Find out more about
the window
manufacturer and the
warranties and
services they offer.
The really great
window manufacturers
have their own
service departments
and technicians
locally. That way,
even if the local
window dealer goes
out of business, the
customer still has
service.
Misconception #3:
All companies
install windows the
same way.
NO! You'd be
amazed at how some
companies cut
corners in order to
make a buck, or
charge extra for
items and services
that should be
standard.
Some companies will
cover up rotten wood
around your window
frame. At Republic,
we replace any and
all rotten wood
before installing
the new window.
We insulate every
new window with
non-expanding
insulating foam.
Many companies skip
this important step.
Finally, we seal the
window inside and
out with high
quality, commercial
grade caulking. Some
companies charge
extra for caulking
your new windows.
That should be
standard.
At Republic,
everything is
included in the
price. The
installation is
complete without
add-ons.
