Custom Windows Provide the Perfect Fit

Not everyone realizes that custom windows Walnut Creek are standard in the window industry. If a window company tells you that they have standard size windows that fit in any house, stay as far away from them as you can. Homes may have a standard size window for the time period that they were built, or for the company that built them, but there is no such thing as a standard size window overall. 

Depending on when you home was built; windows were placed into your home based on cost and materials available at the time. Building styles changed from period to period and unique climate conditions can also affect window shape and size. Modern window companies are aware of all of these factors, and create windows on a custom basis.

How are Custom Windows Sized?

Once you select a window company, they will send out a technician to measure all of your windows in a precise manner. They will then manufacture the replacement windows in the style you have chosen to fit perfectly in the space of your existing windows. If for any reason the windows do not fit once they arrive, the company will provide a replacement free of charge. You may have to wait a few days for the replacement since they have to custom-manufacture it for you.

How are Windows Priced?

Windows are priced based on the size, shape, labor required to install them and materials. Oversized windows cost significantly more due to the extra issues manufacturing, transporting and installing them. Experienced window installers will come out and install all of your windows within one to two days unless you have a large number of windows to replace or one of your windows has been special ordered. Most companies prefer to install all of the windows at one time.

The Perfect Fit

Windows should fit solidly within the window space without any movement or air leakage around the frame or between the frame and glass. If you think your new windows do not fit properly, discuss the issue with the installers or call the office as soon as you find a problem.
