Window replacement is a huge part of the home remodeling industry. Its amazing how many contractors there are that replace windows. Base on the quantity of the contractors advertising this, you’d think we would have ran out of homes to replace windows on. The main reason windows are replaced is because there are awesome advancements in windows and the best window is desired. I mean, looking through glass doesn’t really where out a window. Windows are replaced because people want the best, most energy efficient window available. Most window replacement contractors come out and give home owners a two hour presentation about how their window is the best at saving you energy, reducing noise, is easy to clean and has a the best warranty. How much time do they spend explaining the installation of the window, and how it will tie into your homes exteriors. Do they explain that the warranty is specific to the window- its frame not failing or changing color, the thermal unit not getting moisture between the glass, the lock not breaking. The window manufacturers warranty doesn’t cover the installation of the window. Its the installation of the windows that is determine wether you have water or air transfer you have coming in around the window. That would be something that is covered by workmanship warranty, this would be provided by the contractor installing the windows. Its important to recognize that using the best product doesn’t mean it perform as its designed to unless its installed correctly. An awesome window that is installed poorly is a junky window. I see so many windows that are not installed correctly. The existing window is cut out, the new window is slid in, and sealant is place around the window. No consideration is given to the moisture barrier behind the stone, brick, or stucco. The window is installed assuming that the all moisture runs on the exterior of the stone, brick, stucco, or siding. Yet, under all of these products a moisture barrier is installed, this moisture barrier manages the water that gets through the exterior and keeps it from getting into the wood framing members and into the home. If a replacement window is just sealed to the exterior of stucco, siding, brick, or stone, any water that is running on the moisture barrier behind these exteriors, will get into the wood framing members and into the home. Plus, the sealant isn’t going to last more than 2, 3, maybe 5 years, then what? Well the sealant should last long enough to get most contractors through their 1 year warranty period.
