5 Questions to Ask Before Hiring a Window Contractor

1. What window brand/manufacturer do you work with?

Not all windows are created equal. The brand and manufacturer matter because they determine the product’s quality, durability, and energy efficiency. Choosing a contractor who partners with a reputable brand ensures you’re getting windows that will perform well for years to come. 

At Bruin Remodeling Group, we proudly install OKNA Windows, a leading manufacturer known for combining energy efficiency, durability, and style. OKNA products are built to withstand New England weather while enhancing curb appeal and comfort in your home. By specializing in this trusted brand, we ensure our customers get premium quality with every installation.

2. Are you a licensed/insured/certified installer?

When it comes to window installation, the contractor’s credentials are just as important as the product itself. Working with a licensed, insured, and certified installer protects your home, safeguards your investment, and ensures the windows are installed to meet warranty requirements. 

Bruin Remodeling Group is a fully licensed, insured, and and is an OKNA certified installer, giving you peace of mind that your project is in professional hands. Our team has the training and expertise to meet manufacturer standards, protect your home, and ensure your investment is in capable hands.

3. What warranties do you offer on products & installation?

Strong warranties are an indicator of product quality and installation confidence. A good contractor should provide both the manufacturer’s product warranty and their own workmanship warranty to protect you against potential issues.

At Bruin, we stand behind both our products and our work. With OKNA Windows, you receive a strong manufacturer warranty as well as Bruin’s 10-year labor warranty. That means your new windows are protected not only against manufacturing defects but also against issues related to installation.

4. How do you handle project clean up and disposal?

Window installation can be messy, and it’s important to know who will handle the removal and disposal of your old windows. A professional installer should leave your home as clean as they found it, without leftover debris or disruption. 

Our team at Bruin Remodeling Group treats your home with care from start to finish. We remove your old windows, properly dispose of any debris, and thoroughly clean the work area both as we go and again once installation is complete. The only thing we leave behind is a beautifully finished project and new windows ready to be enjoyed.

5. Can I see product samples before deciding?

Seeing and touching product samples is one of the best ways to feel confident in your decision. Our representatives carry samples to each home appointment to allow you to compare finishes, colors, and styles to be sure the windows you choose will be exactly what you envisioned. 

At Bruin Remodeling Group, we want our customers to feel confident in their choices. When you make an in-home appointment we’ll bring samples from our range of product lines including OKNA windows, ProVia doors, James Hardie and Royal Building Products siding, and GAF roofing products. Viewing the products in person allows you to compare finishes, styles, and options to find the perfect fit for your home.
