Starting a Window Installation Business Manchester CT

By Jay Holtzman

As more and more dealers rush into installed sales, many are looking to open new windows of opportunity—literally. Whether they are serving custom home builders, production builders, or consumers, many pro suppliers are finding that it makes good business sense to offer a window installation program that can help improve construction quality, cut down on costly callbacks, reduce their liability concerns, and boost overall home buyer satisfaction.

No doubt, the prospects are good for this installation market, especially for those dealers that have a high level of knowledge and skill. And because there are so many different types of windows available today, installation increasingly is becoming a specialty field.

Within this realm, custom windows, by their nature, present the greatest challenges because of their non-standard sizes and shapes and the large number of options available. Production window installation programs have their complexities, too. Wood, vinyl, and clad windows, for example, are all fastened differently, installers explain. Moreover, building codes call for specific ways of flashing windows in brick, siding, and other house exteriors.
