Why You Shouldn’t Attempt Do-It-Yourself Window Replacement

Ameritech Services Gives You Reasons To
Hire A Professional Window Installer


While we admire the ambition of the average do-it-yourselfer, there are some home improvement projects that most homeowners shouldn’t attempt to tackle. If you need residential window replacement on your Swedesboro, NJ home, we suggest you reach out to us at Ameritech Services.

While homeowners would prefer to save money on installation costs, you can read our guide to see some of the challenges you’ll have to overcome when completing a DIY installation.


Knowing Which Windows To Install For Your
Residential Window Replacement Project

While homeowners tend to do some research on which windows will work best for their home, our representatives know a lot about windows and how they will impact your life. We know factors like how much light windows let through, their ability to protect you from harmful UV rays, and how well-insulated they are to help keep your home’s temperature well-regulated.

And that’s just a few factors without going into technical terms. Rather than trying to figure this out for yourself and potentially being unhappy with picking the wrong window, trust us at Ameritech Services to help you decide on the right window for your home.

A professional opinion truly makes a difference.


We Can Make Your Residential Window
Replacement Look Great

While proper window installation is challenging in itself, one of the first things visitors could notice with a do-it-yourself window is the seal. The seal for a window isn’t that easy to apply while making your windows look good and offers the correct functionality to keep out heat, cold, wind, and rain while keeping in insulating gas.

The seal needs to be well-installed. You should also know that you shouldn’t just replace a seal. You must replace the insulation and the insulating gas within the glass unit. This is not as easy as it sounds.


Energy Efficiency When You Do Residential
Window Replacement Yourself

Energy efficiency is one of the main reasons to replace the windows on your home in Gloucester County. Unfortunately, with some do-it-yourself installations, energy efficiency is impacted by improper installation. The seals are difficult to install, and even small gaps make a big difference in allowing a well-made window to provide proper insulation to work.

Don’t minimize your residential window investment with imperfect installation.


Security Risks With Residential Window Replacement

Did you know that window installers often add a glaze to your home’s windows? Part of the purpose of this glaze is to make the window more difficult for an intruder to break.

DIYers often forget this process or simply overlook it. We suggest adding the glaze as an easy way to protect you and your family a bit more from potential safety issues, or even a ball thrown outside the house hitting your window.


Warranties Matter For Residential Window Replacement

During the life of your windows, you may need to use the warranty for issues with anything from the glass itself to the frame or seal. If you install windows yourself, you only have the window-making company’s warranty to work with. In other words, if there are issues with the window due to installation, you are probably out of lock.

This isn’t the case with a window installer like us. We offer an installation warranty and also honor the warranty with the window. Instead of relying on calling a window installation or repair professional to fix your DIY-installed window, you can call us, and we’ll take care of it.
