Repairing and Resizing Openings

Adjacent to Boston, the city of Newton has access to the conveniences, cultural and educational opportunities and employment possibilities that this major city provides. At the same time, Newton retains the historic charm and atmosphere of a smaller community. Many of the traditional homes in Newton feature their original wood window frames. While it's possible to keep wood frames in good condition, wood is vulnerable to rotting, swelling, cracking and warping in the variable MA climate.

When frames become damaged, a Newton window replacement professional can be a valuable resource. Before window replacement can take place, the rough opening, or the framed structure that will hole a new window, must be repaired. In advanced cases of water damage, the wood, plaster or sheetrock that make up the wall may be affected. Dry rot and termites can also damage the rough opening, requiring extensive repairs or replacement of materials.

Having your window openings repaired will add to the cost of the project, but this investment is essential to ensure that the new units are waterproof. Otherwise, damage to the openings could undermine the structural integrity of the house and expose the interior walls to the elements. A Newton contractor who is familiar with the Massachusetts climate can help you choose new replacement products that will provide superior insulation and energy efficiency while accentuating the style of your home.

In some older Massachusetts homes, the original windows may be quite small. Homeowners may decide to enlarge these openings and fit them with larger units to achieve a more contemporary look and provide more interior illumination. When enlarging an opening, significant work may be required to hold the new window frames. Custom units in non-standard sizes may be more expensive than standard size products. However, for many homeowners, the advantages of having more interior space and light outweigh the costs.

Finding a Replacement Contractor

A dependable, experienced Newton window installer can be a key partner in your efforts to make your house more energy efficient. Finding a reliable contractor with an established reputation in MA may require some research. Online search technology makes it easy to gather information from a number of the top professionals in Newton and the surrounding communities. Look for a contractor who has the correct license for your state and who has a knowledge of the local permits you may require for window replacement.

Unfortunately, not all replacement contractors are reliable. Some are simply inexperienced and lack the right credentials or insurance, while others are fraudulent and charge high prices for shoddy work. Local references can be a valuable source of advice about the quality of a contractor's workmanship and his or her reliability. A good contractor will provide references in the area and can tell you about their experiences working with this professional and whether they'd hire the company for future work.

Be wary of contractors who pressure you to make a decision or sign a contract before you've had a chance to compare quotes. A dependable Newton window replacement contractor will give you adequate time to compare estimates and make a decision about the best team for the job. Because Newton window replacement can represent a substantial financial investment, it's important to find a contractor who will give you the long lasting results you need to protect your home during the cold New England winters.

Good contractors have adequate liability insurance, so they can cover the costs of any damages that occur during the job. A reputable professional may also belong to a national professional association or participate in charitable work in the community. Don't be hesitant to confirm a contractor's status with your local licensing agency if you have any doubts. Newton window replacement is one of the best ways to boost your home's property value. Take time to find a contractor who will give you results that last for years.
