Are you on the hunt for replacement windows in Portland, OR<\/a>? Have you already visited a replacement window showroom or two to see what\u2019s available, to talk with the staff, and to weigh your options?<\/p>\n

After you select the windows you want for your home, you\u2019ll need to consider your installation options. Should you get the window company\u2019s installation professionals to put in your new windows? Is it okay to save some money by installing them yourself or by getting family or friends to pitch in and help you with the installation?<\/p>\n

While you can ultimately do whatever you want with your money, there are some good reasons why you should think twice before installing windows on your own.<\/p>\n

Get it Done Right<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you\u2019re investing into getting quality replacement windows, you\u2019ll want to ensure they\u2019re installed properly. Why, after all, should you invest your hard-earned money to get new windows if, in the end, they\u2019re not installed correctly. The problem with homeowners installing their own windows is that they may not actually have the requisite experience. It\u2019s not as easy as removing the old windows and installing the new windows. There\u2019s a right way and innumerable wrong ways to do the job. So it\u2019s best to leave a replacement window installation project to the professionals. You\u2019ll be able to have confidence that you\u2019ll reap the benefits of new windows.<\/p>\n

Mistakes Could Cost You<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you try to install your own windows and make mistakes, you might end up having to pay more to fix the problem than you would have had to pay to get them installed by professionals. There may be some do-it-yourselfers who have experience installing new windows. But most homeowners don\u2019t have hands-on experience in this area. So it\u2019s best to know when to take on something yourself and when to bring in the experts. This is all the more important when you consider that many of the benefits that come with new windows depend on proper installation.<\/p>\n

Warranty<\/strong><\/p>\n

When you buy quality replacement windows, you\u2019ll get a solid warranty. This warranty will give you peace of mind since any issues you experience will be covered by the warranty in question. But if you don\u2019t get the windows put in by professionals, there is a possibility that the warranty can be violated. It doesn\u2019t make sense to do something that will invalidate your warranty. At the very least, ask the replacement window store<\/a> you patronize whether the warranty will be voided if you opt to install the windows yourself. You can then make an informed decision.<\/p>\n
