Finding the Right Contractor: Part II
To pick up where we left off, let’s explore some common questions when interviewing your contractor.
In our last post, we told you to ask:
— What is the full name and address of the company?
— Does the company carry insurance?
Now that we’ve eliminated all fly-by-night contractors, it’s important to focus on the quality and reputation of the contractor.
Finding the Right Contractor: Part I
Replacing windows, doors, siding, gutters and trim is a process most people aren’t familiar with until the time comes to change them. Even then, there’s much to learn about which products to use and what’s best for your individual needs.
Signs It’s Time to Replace Your Trim
A finishing touch on a home renovation project is the the trim. Perfecting the trim around your house is often an accent mark that can take your home’s look to another level. We here at Tri County Windows and Siding know the importance of cultivating a beautiful appearance to your home along with functional support from the elements.

When It’s Time For New Gutters
Homeowners rarely think about gutters more than once or twice year, let alone inspect them on a regular basis. Well, the time has finally come around again to start putting gutters on your brain again. As leaves fall and weather worsen, it’s critical to ensure your gutters are functional, and not in need of replacing.
Keep Your House Safe from Winter Pests
So, you’re getting your house all geared up for winter — your windows are properly maintained, the leaves are off the ground, your heating system is primed, and your gutters are free of debris. Everything thing you can possibly think of is taken care of before the outside turns into a white wasteland, unfit for human existence in the harsh elements.
When is it Time to Replace Windows?
October is the perfect month to start thinking about the harsh winter ahead. Taking proper care of your home isn’t something that happens overnight. It’s staying in a consistent mindset where you are constantly thinking two or three months out to properly equip your home for the freezing cold.
Eliminating Condensation and Other Window Issues
An annoying and potentially dangerous problem many homeowners face is that of condensation. Simply put, condensation is the change of matter from gas to a liquid. When the hot air in your house tries to escape and meets a cold window, air reaches it’s dew point and condensation occurs.
Making Your Windows More Environmentally Friendly
Being environmentally conscious doesn’t have to be difficult. You can start with simple changes inside your home, like replacing appliances and fixtures with energy efficient versions. Replacing old windows with energy efficient alternatives can also save energy and make your home “greener.”
