You’ll notice the difference immediately. No more drafts sneaking through gaps. No more cranking the heat because cold air finds every crack. No more fighting with windows that stick or won’t close properly.
Your energy bills drop because your HVAC system isn’t working overtime to compensate for inefficient windows. Your home stays comfortable year-round without the constant temperature battles.
The right windows installed correctly mean you stop thinking about your windows – which is exactly how it should be.
Certified Contracting Services Inc has built our reputation on understanding what Somers homeowners actually need. We’re not the company that shows up, measures quickly, and disappears until installation day.
We take time to understand your home’s specific challenges. Every house in Somers faces different weather patterns, architectural considerations, and efficiency needs. We’ve seen what works and what doesn’t in this climate.
Our approach is straightforward: proper assessment, quality materials, professional installation, and real follow-through. No surprises, no shortcuts, no excuses.
First, we come to your home for a thorough assessment. We measure each opening, check the existing frames, and identify any issues that need addressing before installation begins.
Next, we walk you through material options that make sense for your budget and goals. Vinyl, wood, aluminum, fiberglass – each has specific advantages depending on your home’s needs and your priorities.
Installation day means protecting your home’s interior, removing old windows carefully, and installing new ones with proper weatherproofing and insulation. We clean up completely and test every window before we leave.
You get windows that open smoothly, close securely, and perform exactly as promised.
Ready to get started?
Every window installation includes proper weatherproofing, insulation around frames, and testing to ensure smooth operation. We handle permits when required and coordinate with your schedule to minimize disruption.
Somers homes often deal with temperature extremes and seasonal weather changes. We use installation techniques that account for expansion, contraction, and the specific challenges of Northeast weather patterns.
Your installation includes cleanup, disposal of old windows, and a walkthrough to ensure everything meets your expectations. We also provide maintenance guidance to keep your new windows performing optimally for years.
Most residential window installations take 1-3 days depending on the number of windows and any complications we discover. Single windows can often be completed in a few hours, while whole-house replacements typically require 2-3 days.
Weather can affect timing, especially during Somers winters. We schedule installations during favorable conditions when possible and will reschedule if weather threatens the quality of the work.
We’ll give you a realistic timeline during our initial assessment and keep you updated if anything changes.
Vinyl windows perform exceptionally well in Somers because they handle temperature fluctuations without warping or expanding significantly. They’re also low-maintenance and energy-efficient, which matters during our heating season.
Wood windows offer superior insulation and traditional aesthetics but require more maintenance in our climate. Fiberglass combines durability with excellent insulation properties, making it ideal for homes prioritizing long-term performance.
We’ll recommend materials based on your home’s specific exposure, your maintenance preferences, and your energy efficiency goals.
We handle permit applications when they’re required, though many window replacements in existing openings don’t need permits. If you’re changing window sizes or adding new openings, permits are typically necessary.
We know Somers building requirements and work directly with local authorities to ensure compliance. This includes proper installation techniques that meet code requirements for weatherproofing and energy efficiency.
You won’t need to navigate the permit process yourself – we take care of the paperwork and inspections.
If you’re feeling drafts, seeing condensation between glass panes, or struggling with windows that won’t open or close properly, replacement is usually the better investment. Repairs on older windows often provide temporary fixes that don’t address underlying efficiency issues.
Single-pane windows or windows over 15-20 years old typically benefit more from replacement than repair. The energy savings alone often justify the investment, especially with Somers heating costs.
During our assessment, we’ll honestly evaluate whether repair or replacement makes more financial sense for your situation.
Our installation warranty covers workmanship issues, ensuring your windows are properly sealed, weatherproofed, and functioning correctly. This typically includes addressing any installation-related problems that arise in the first few years.
Window manufacturers provide separate product warranties covering the windows themselves – glass, frames, and hardware. These vary by brand and material but typically range from 10-20 years for different components.
We’ll explain both warranties clearly so you understand exactly what’s covered and for how long.
We can install windows during winter, but we’re selective about timing and weather conditions. Installation requires temporarily opening your home to outside air, so we avoid extremely cold days or when precipitation is forecast.
Winter installations require extra preparation to protect your home’s interior and ensure proper curing of sealants and weatherproofing materials. We use temporary coverings and work efficiently to minimize heat loss.
Spring and fall typically offer ideal installation conditions, but we understand that urgent replacements can’t always wait for perfect weather.
