We understand that buying new windows isn’t something that most people do more than once. Because of that, we get a lot of questions. Many of the most common questions we are asked are answered here. Some even have links to blogs with deeper explanations or additional information that may be helpful. Of course, if we don’t answer your question here, just ask us in person during our free consultation or give us a call at (317) 356-4666.
Do you have a showroom?
Yes, we have a showroom with examples of our most popular windows for you to see. We only ask that you call our office at (317) 356-4666 and make an appointment to visit our showroom.
What do I need to do to get ready for Install?
We try to make your installation as easy and stress-free on you as possible. We ask that you remove window treatments including curtains around the windows we are replacing. As much as our install team does all they can to protect your home and belongings, we ask that you remove pictures from all window walls. Please keep your pets in a safe space as we will be in and out of the home many times and don’t want any family members escaping unnoticed. It is also helpful if you move any furniture blocking walls where we will be installing new windows away from the wall. Need more information? Click here
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we have liability and workman’s compensation insurance for both our protection. Additionally, the install team is properly trained in both the installation process and industry best practices for safe windows installation.
Who is going to do final measure?
Our professional installers do final measure to insure the window will fit the opening. And, if we make a mistake and one of your windows does not fit properly, we replace it at no cost to you. This is one of the benefits of calling Blair Windows for your new or replacement windows rather than trying to install your own windows.
What materials do you use during installation?
As a professional window company, we have all the tools necessary to properly remove your old windows and install your new ones. It’s our policy to use a premium caulk to seal the windows and doors not only for proper installation, but also energy efficiency.
How long will the installation take?
Like any home improvement, it very much depends how many windows we’re replacing. However, we don’t remove all your windows at once. We take out one window or one room’s windows at a time so as not to leave your home open to the elements longer than necessary.
Can I get detailed pricing?
The quote will be broken down by material and labor. We include the window line and manufacturer as well as any customizations on your quote so you know what to expect when your new windows are installed. Of course, our pricing includes haul away and disposal of your old windows.
Where are the windows manufactured?
All the manufacturers we sell and install make their windows in the United States. Most of the parts are also US sourced. For more specifics, ask your sales representative about the brands you’re interested in. You can also click here to see the current list of manufacturers who we work with.
Who handles the warranty and service work?
You receive not only the full manufacturer’s warranty, but also our installation warranty. If you have issues that are either manufacturer related or installation related, Blair Windows and Doors stands behind their work and sends our in-house service department team member best qualified for your issue.
How is payment handled?
Blair window requires a 50% deposit to place the order and the remaining balance is due upon completion of installation of the job.
What types of windows do you offer
We offer quality American made windows and doors. If you would like to see the brands we sell, click here. As for styles, we recommend some of our manufacturer’s lines over others based on construction and energy efficiency. Ask your consultant what brands and lines they recommend based on your home, budget, style preferences, and energy efficiency goals.
What is the energy efficiency of these windows?
All the windows we sell and install are ENERGY STAR® rated for the Indianapolis area. Each window style and line has a different energy rating which can be found in the National Fenestration Rating Council rating window information.
How do these windows improve home security?
New windows include better construction which makes for a stronger physical barrier against intruders. New locks also add to your home security.
What is the lifespan of these windows?
You can expect the quality vinyl replacement windows we sell and install to last about 20 years. Clad windows can last up to 30 years on average. However, the windows only last when properly maintained per factory recommendations. Additionally, life expectancy is not the same as a warranty which is set by the manufacturer of the product.
What is the installation process like?
Upon ordering you windows, Blair Windows will contact you for final measurement and order your custom windows. Once your windows and/or doors are received, we schedule your installation. When the installer arrives and verifies all material and sizes, installer begins the install by removing old windows one at a time. They install each new window with put trim coil around the window and caulk. Of course, we leave your home as clean as it was when we arrived. Installation time depends on job size.
Is the company locally owned and operated?
Yes, we are an independent locally owned and operated window company and have been since 1955. Unlike many franchises, we choose the window brands we sell. To learn more about us, click here.
