When you buy replacement windows for your home, chances are that you have certain goals in mind. Perhaps you\u2019re looking forward to the low-E coating that will keep your home warmer during the winter and cooler during the summer. It\u2019s also possible that you\u2019re most focused on energy efficiency capabilities. But if your windows are not installed properly, then that\u2019ll be like throwing money out the window. Here are some telltale signs that your replacement windows in Portland, OR<\/a> weren\u2019t installed properly. And if you see any of these issues, don\u2019t hesitate to contact the installer so that they can return and do the job properly.<\/p>\n

Telltale Sign #1: Windows are Not Level<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you look at your installed windows, do they look like they\u2019re properly level, or does they look uneven? If you\u2019re not sure, you can easily check by using a leveling tool. Rest it on top of the window frames and then check to see whether or not the windows are level. If there is a problem, contact the installer and have them return to get the job done correctly. It\u2019s not something you want to let slide since there could problems down the road.<\/p>\n

Telltale Sign #2: Windows Hard to Operate<\/strong><\/p>\n

Is it hard to open or close your windows? If your windows were put in properly, then you shouldn’t have any issues with operation. So if there are issues on this front, it\u2019s definitely worth your while to contact the replacement window company you bought them from. They will be able to sort things out so that your problems are resolved.<\/p>\n

Telltale Sign #3: Gaps<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you look at the windows following the installation stage, can you see any gaps? You shouldn\u2019t \u2013 especially if the installers are pros. But if you do see gaps, you can be sure that that\u2019s the sign of a hurried job. You shouldn\u2019t experience this issue if you paid to have your windows put in. If there are gaps, you will feel drafts, and the gaps could also allow water to get in, which could cause damage. Gaps could also lead to an infestation of bugs or even rodents. You\u2019ll definitely want to contact the installer and ask them to return to do the job properly.<\/p>\n
