Replacement Window and Door Blog

For busy people, their time is one of their most valuable assets. These are people with demanding jobs, young families that require a lot of their attention, or people with otherwise full lives. When it comes to improving their homes, they often don’t want to spend a lot of their time shopping around for the best products, interviewing contractors, or staying at home to supervise the work being done.

At Custom Exchange, we understand this! Many of our customers lead very busy lives, and they want to work with a replacement window company that will handle the entire process on their behalf.

When you work with the team at Custom Exchange, the process starts with you scheduling an appointment for a time that works best for you. One of our team members will come to your home (and show up on time) for the appointment. They will answer any questions you may have about replacement windows for your Fremont home, they will talk to you about the specific products we sell, and they’ll take measurements so they can provide you with a quote. They won’t overstay their welcome in an effort to try to get you to sign a contract before you’re ready. Once they have given you all the information you need, they will leave and let you take all the time you need to make a decision.

We know that other home improvement companies have aggressive salespeople who “won’t take no for an answer.” It can be difficult to get them to leave your home, even if you tell them you want to think about their offer. Our sales team isn’t like that. They are respectful of your time and think you should be allowed to make a decision without being pressured into one.

If you decide to go with our company for replacement windows in your Fremont home, we will have you sign a contract that is straightforward and easy to understand. We will place the order for your new windows, and when they arrive, we will contact you to schedule an installation date.

When your installation date arrives, our team will show up at their scheduled time and work efficiently to get your new windows installed. We can often complete a job in only a day or two! We clean up after ourselves so you don’t have a mess to deal with when our work is done.

All in all, our team is only in your home for a maximum of two days. How many other home improvement projects can you think of that can be completed in that short amount of time?

If you would like to start the process of having replacement windows installed in your Fremont home, contact Custom Exchange today to set up your initial appointment.

We live in a world where you can order just about anything online and have it show up at your front door in a matter of days—sometimes even the next day! You might have wondered why our replacement window company doesn’t’ have an option where you can place an order for new windows on our website and just have them delivered directly to your home. There are some very good reasons for this, and in this blog post, we want to get into them.

Precise Measurements Are Key with Replacement Windows

Replacement windows are designed to fit within the same spaces that your current windows occupy. This means that your new windows need to be built in the exact measurements for those spaces. If they are made a little too big, they won’t fit in the space. If they are made a little too small, there will be gaps around your windows that will allow in drafts.

When you are ready to purchase replacement windows for your Danville home, it’s important to have someone come out and take careful measurements so your replacement windows can be ordered in the right sizes.

Now, you might be thinking, “I know how to use a tape measure. Why can’t I just take my own measurements and send them to you?” You could, but if you accidentally get any of the numbers wrong, it would be on you to pay for a second window in the correct size. On the other hand, if we make a mistake in measuring, it would be on us to pay for it.

We Can Explain Options and Features That Might Benefit You

When you have a replacement window expert from our company come out to your Danville home, they can talk to you about the options and features that are available with the windows we sell. This isn’t our way of trying to get you to spend more on extra features—it really is about making sure the windows you order are the best fit for your specific home. Different homes can benefit from different types of glazing systems. Some homes could use a little more insulation from outside noise. And the window frame style should be chosen based on the style of the home. A replacement window expert can help you with all of these types of decisions so your replacement windows look great and function well in your Danville home.

We promise you that we won’t try to “upsell” you on features you don’t want. We just want to make sure your new windows meet all of your needs.

At the end of your appointment, we will provide you with a quote for replacement windows for your Danville home. This quote will include the windows, any upgrades you have chosen, the cost of our professional installation services, and a lifetime warranty. You won’t be pressured to sign a contract right then and there. You are free to take your time to think about it and get back to us when you are ready.

In this blog, we talk a lot about the quality of the replacement windows we sell in Fremont and the surrounding areas. How they help keep out unwanted heat and cold. How they make your home more secure. And even how they can improve the curb appeal of your home. One thing that we don’t talk about probably as much as we should is the quality of our professional installation services here at Custom Exchange. It’s one of the things that truly sets our company apart from other companies that sell replacement windows in Fremont!

What Do We Mean by Professional Replacement Window Installation?

We should clarify what we mean when we talk about professional window installation. We consider window installation to be “professional” when it is done by people who do window installation for a living. This is in contrast to people who provide lots of construction-related services—and window installation is just one of them.

If you purchase replacement windows in Fremont from a “big box” store, that store will outsource the installation to one of the approved subcontractors on their list. This subcontractor might have some window installation experience, but more than likely, they will be someone who takes on a variety of home improvement projects. The same is true if you purchase windows through a general contractor or handyman. He or she may have installed windows before, but it’s likely not their specialty.

At Custom Exchange, we use our own team of highly trained and experienced replacement window installers. They install windows as their profession, and they are great at it! Not only do they know how to do the job properly for the best results, but they also know how to do it efficiently so the project doesn’t drag on for days and days. If you’re like most people we know, you don’t want your house to feel like a construction zone for longer than necessary. At Custom Exchange, our team can often complete an entire window installation in just a day or two!

Professional Installation of Replacement Windows Doesn’t Have to Be Expensive

Here’s the great news about working with a replacement window company in Fremont that provides professional installation: it doesn’t cost extra! At Custom Exchange, our prices are competitive with (and sometimes even less than) the prices of companies that don’t use professional installers.

Having a home that is properly insulated can save you a ton of money on your energy bills—especially in the heat of summer. But unfortunately, most people don’t know how poorly insulated their house actually is. They just assume that everyone runs their air conditioning unit excessively all summer long. It isn’t until they take some steps to insulate their home that they realize how much heat their house was letting in.
