Local Window Companies or National Brands: Which Should You Choose?

Finding an experienced, trustworthy window contractor can be difficult. A quick search on the internet for window contractors will likely yield you thousands of results, and searching through all the potential candidates may feel like finding a needle in a haystack.

One way to help narrow down your search is to limit your candidates to either national companies or local ones. Which is better? Read on as Renewal by Andersen® of Portland offers some guidance.

National Companies

Big name window replacement contractors and manufacturers can offer a wider range of products than local companies. In addition, they usually have customer service facilities in place to help you at all stages of the process, from choosing a replacement window product through the installation, to addressing any concerns once the project is complete. Due to the sheer size of national companies, however, it’s unlikely you’ll ever speak to the same customer service representative twice, which can feel impersonal to some homeowners.

Local Contractors

Local contractors have an edge over big national companies when it comes to their knowledge of the local area, as well as their local reputation. Many homeowners prefer dealing with local replacement window installers who they know personally and can provide them with a more reliable and trustworthy service.

There is a third category of company for your replacement windows that offer all the advantages of local and national contractors without any of the drawbacks.
