Bridgewater Window Replacement, Remodeling in Bridgewater
Replacing windows on your property can change the visual appearance of your Bridgewater home considerably. You should choose a style that matches your property and enhances its looks. This is particularly important with Vinyl / PVCu and Aluminum designs when they are fitted to older properties. It’s a good idea to look at properties similar to yours in the area and compare the effect of various replacement window types. It is also a good idea to make sure you have adequate numbers of opening windows.
Most window replacement projects do not require permits. However, in the instance of enlarging an opening and installing a new header permits are required. Another area to watch is if a bedroom window has a change of style, the building department will require the new style to conform to the egress code. Many Bridgewater windows contractors will arrange permits at an additional cost – since it consumes more of their time. Some will simply ask you to pay for permits, which they will arrange for on your behalf.
If permits are required for your work then make sure your contractor pulls the required building permits. This way you will know things will be done to “code”. Note: many homeowners’ insurance policies require pulling a permit on any major remodeling to keep your home properly covered. Some contractors prefer not to pull permits because of the time involved and the “hassle” with the inspectors. Some contractors may even ask you to get the permits. This could be a warning sign that they are not able to pull the permits because they are unlicensed, or the work is outside of their license.”
