Instead of being a jack of all trades and a master of none \u2014 which is what big box stores are essentially \u2014 you should favor a specialty store whose sole focus is replacement windows. You\u2019ll likely find a wider variety of quality window products offered in different styles from various top <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kempswindows.com\/\">Oregon window manufacturer<\/a>. So if you want the best of the best in terms of products from a store that doesn\u2019t dabble in a whole lot of unrelated product categories, then you should head to a specialty window retailer in town.<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>Knowledgeable Staff<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>When is the last time you went to a big box store and felt like you spoke with a staff member who really knew what he or she was talking about? First off, it can sometimes be hard to find someone to talk to when you arrive at one of those humungous big box stores, and you often will face the indignity of being passed on to someone else in another department if you do manage to track someone down. When you do find someone in the window department at the big box store, you might find that the staff member knows perhaps as little as you do. After all, searching an in-store computer and regurgitating product information is not the same as knowledgeably discussing <a href=\"https:\/\/www.kempswindows.com\/replacement-windows-doors-oregon-city-or\/\">Oregon replacement windows<\/a> and intelligently assisting you in finding what you want. The situation will be different at a specialty window store. The staff at such a store will likely be more knowledgeable about the products offered. After all, all they focus on day in and day out are windows, and they will know the products inside and out. It\u2019s that kind of staff member that will be qualified to help you with your replacement window buying decisions.<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>Company Installers<\/b><span data-ccp-props=\"{&quot;201341983&quot;:0,&quot;335559739&quot;:160,&quot;335559740&quot;:240}\">\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p>Yes, you can get installation services from a big box store and a specialty window retailer. But there\u2019s a key difference. Often times, a big box store will have a roster of independent contractors that it uses to fulfill installation requests. That means that you\u2019ll be dealing with a contractor who is not an actual employee of the big box store. While such contractors are usually vetted to\u00a0verify workmanship and professionalism, there is still the possibility of issues\u00a0in\u00a0dealing with a third-party service provider rather than with the company directly. If you deal with a specialty window retailer, you\u2019ll\u00a0benefit by dealing with installers who are actually employees of the company you buy the windows from. This will\u00a0offer\u00a0you an element of protection since you\u2019ll be able to reach out to the company\u00a0if there\u2019s an issue with its workers.<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>If you\u2019re in the market for\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.kempswindows.com\/\">replacement windows\u00a0in\u00a0West Linn, OR<\/a>, look no further than\u00a0Kemp\u2019s Windows Inc.\u00a0We offer a wide range of quality windows from reputable manufacturers,\u00a0and we offer professional installation services from contractors who are our\u00a0own\u00a0employees.
