2. Is the installation process invasive to my home?
Most of the time our installation jobs are completed in one day with no harm to your home. Our installers have two basic methods – either Insert or Full Frame replacement. Our experts are always happy to inspect and recommend which would work best for your home.
3. Are your windows custom-made for my home?
Once we are officially hired to replace your windows, our owner Paul Henry will visit your home to pull measurements to the closest 1/8th of an inch. He also double-checks the measurements of each consultant so we always “measure twice, cut once.”
4. Do you use subcontractors when performing any window work?
Never. We use only our own trained window installers who are employees at Paul Henry Windows and are fully licensed and bonded. In addition, they are factory trained and drug tested regularly. They will be pleasant to have near your home and show you, your family and your home the utmost respect.
5. Right now, I am just researching my options, are you like the other high-pressure sales people?
No. We completely understand this is a substantial investment in your home and do not employ hard-nosed sales tactics. We respect your need for taking some time when making any decision.
6. Do you offer financing?
Yes, we have two options to choose from. We offer a no money down option, which includes no payments for a full calendar year. You can also choose a fixed, low monthly payment option with a reasonable interest rate. However, most people choose to take the 2 percent discount when no financing is required.
7. What brands of replacement windows do you carry?
We have three brands for you to choose from – Soft Light, Andersen and Marvin. No matter what your budget or design criteria, we can find the perfect solution. The window types are vinyl, fiberglass or wood clad. Our consultant can explain the benefits of each choice and make suggestions for which is best for your home.
8. When it rains, my windows leak. Will the new windows fix this?
The answer could be yes. However, the source of some leaks which seem to be from the windows can be roofing or siding issues. Our company also specializes in siding and roofing installations. Our experts can evaluate your situation and recommend the best course of action.
