Replacement windows help boost your home’s aesthetics and functionality, but only if they’re installed properly. If not installed according to the manufacturer’s precise standards, they won’t perform as expected, resulting in a waste of money, time and effort.
Four Star Roofing is more than just a GAF Master Elite® roofer. Our highly-trained home improvement professionals can also properly install top-notch replacement windows. Read on as we highlight signs of a botched window installation:
Difficulty in Operation
Newly installed windows should operate without a hitch. Test them yourself to see if they open and close properly. If there are issues, be sure to address them right away–the problem may be covered under your warranty.
Drafts
Windows with multiple panes offer better insulation than single-pane units. This means better energy efficiency and improved indoor comfort. However, if you notice drafts, then the windows aren’t insulated properly. As energy escapes through the gaps in your windows, your heating or cooling system has to work harder to provide comfort.
Improper Caulk Application
The caulk surrounding each window protects your indoors against the elements. When inspecting your new windows, check if the line of caulk is smooth and even, with no gaps or holes. Otherwise, the installer did a poor job applying the caulk.
Avoid the hassles brought about by improper window installation. The window and gutter installation experts of Four Star Roofing will deliver a smooth installation experience for you. Economically designed to minimize effective heat loss, our replacement windows are made of the highest quality insulated vinyl.
