Signs That Replacement Windows Were Poorly Installed

November 22, 2021
replacement windows in Ventura

When you get replacement windows in Ventura, CA, you are going to want to get quality products that are energy efficient. However, some people try to save money at the end of the project and have the windows installed by a friend or neighbor. If you go that route, there are dangers involved. Here are some of the signs that you have windows that were installed poorly.

1-Air Leaks

New windows should be air tight and they shouldn’t let the outside in. The air leaks were probably a problem with the old windows, but the new windows should have taken care of that issue. Instead, if you have air leaks again, in different windows or in the same places, that could very well mean that you don’t have the properly installed windows that you wanted. If the windows were quality when you bought them, it’s likely the installation that botched the job.

2-Visible Gaps

Your windows should look like they are flush against the house. If you can visibly see gaps between the window frames and the house, that’s not a good thing at all. Professional installers will never leave a window like that and when there are gaps, that means airflow can happen and water can even get in to cause damage. You shouldn’t see anything but fresh, new windows when they are installed properly.

3-Noises

New windows, again, are nice and tight against the house. They shouldn’t rattle and when you open them, they shouldn’t squeak or groan. New windows should be absolutely silent and if you hear noises coming from them at any time, it could very well be because things weren’t installed right. It’s a sign that things aren’t quite right and that’s not a good thing for your home.

4-Difficult Operation

Your old windows might have been hard to open and close, but once they are newly installed, the brand new products should open and close like a dream. If you are still having trouble operating the windows, that’s an issue that you need to address. It’s not the windows—they’re brand new. It’s the installation.

5-Less Than Pro Installation

Any time you have a less than professional installation done on your new windows, you could have issues with the performance of those windows. You need installers with lots of experience and a guarantee behind them. You are going to want installers who have a company standing behind them, willing to fix anything that has gone wrong. Most likely, nothing will go wrong, but if you notice something off, they’ll come back on their time and on their dime.

If you want replacement windows in Ventura, CA installed onto your home right, the professionals at Quality Windows & Doors want to help you with the process from start to finish. You can get the windows your home deserves and you can also get the installation that will complete the job in the right manner. Professionals come with guarantees and on a project this big, that’s important.
