This isn\u2019t to say that someone with less experience can\u2019t do just as professional a job, but odds are that someone with lots of experience will be a safer bet than someone with a little bit of experience. So be sure to ask prospective service providers about their experience level so that you can weigh whether or not they warrant further consideration.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Insurance<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Professional contractors who don\u2019t have insurance should be stricken from your list of consideration. The\u00a0insurance\u00a0policy, which should include workers\u2019 compensation and liability coverage,\u00a0is a sign that the contractor in question is looking out for the customers\u2019 interest and for his or her own interests.\u00a0It\u2019s actually the sign of a true professional in the\u00a0contractor\u00a0space to hold insurance with the necessary coverage.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Licensing<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>This is a very important point. You don\u2019t want to hire a professional contractor\u00a0unless the person is licensed as a window installer. Licensing is like validation. It shows that the license holder has demonstrated the competence and expertise needed to take on the job in question.\u00a0So\u00a0when you find a licensed\u00a0window\u00a0installer, you\u2019ll know that the person can do the job for you in a way that reflects best practices in workmanship.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><b>Past Customers<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>If the professional contractor has years of experience, then it should be no problem for\u00a0him or her\u00a0to provide references from people who can vouch for his or her work. Ask for references and spend the time to call them up and ask some questions. You want to get previous customers\u2019 overall general experiences. Ask them\u00a0if they were happy with the results, if the contractor communicated well, if the contractor stuck to the agreed upon installation price, if the contractor arrived on time and was diligent on the job,\u00a0and other things of this nature.\u00a0After you\u2019ve considered\u00a0what the past\u00a0clients\u00a0have said, you\u2019ll be in a better position to decide who to hire.<span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When you need to get your\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kempswindows.com\/\">replacement windows in Happy Valley, OR<\/a>\u00a0installed, look no further than Kemp\u2019s Windows Inc. for the best installers in the business.
