What to Look for in a Window Installation Company
There are a lot of things to consider when choosing a company to buy your windows from aside from the cost. A lot of companies try to compete on price alone, forgoing things like quality, longevity, and reliability in favor of getting a large margin by charging premium-grade prices for low-tier windows and doors with shoddy, often outsourced, installation work.
When you’re shopping for new windows, you need to get them from a reliable and trustworthy supplier who knows what windows will best meet your goals and how to install them properly. Some key things to look for in any window installation company before you sign an agreement for new windows include:
- Experience. How long have they been in business? While every installer has to start somewhere, odds are that you don’t want to be the customer who gets stuck with a company that’s still in the ‘figuring things out’ phase of their business.
- Selection. The best company to buy windows from is the one that has a wide variety of windows to fit your specific preferences. Companies that are limited to a single brand may not have the right windows for your needs.
- Guarantees. What guarantees does the company provide? Do they back the quality of their products and services with lifetime warranties written in simple English or do they have a warranty with countless loopholes that makes War and Peace look like light reading?

Why Buy from Karoly FAQs
What Is the Highest Quality Window Brand?
We’ve worked with a lot of window brands over the years. In a lot of cases, we’re removing old, lower-quality windows and replacing them with newer, higher-quality ones.
The two brands that Karoly most frequently works with are Simonton and PGT because these window manufacturers are extremely experienced in the Florida market and make high-quality products that justify their cost.
You can’t really go wrong with either of these premium window brands, as they make top-tier products that will last you a lifetime.
What’s a Good Price to Pay for Windows in Florida?
The cost of a window will vary widely depending on what you need in that window. Added features that enhance a window’s impact resistance, energy efficiency, or longevity often mean that the window will cost more.
It’s not unusual for a high-quality window to cost hundreds or even thousands of dollars. Different windows, even from the same brand, may also have very different costs depending on the style and size.
Should I Buy Aluminum or Vinyl Windows?
Aluminum windows can be a great fit for homeowners who want enhanced durability and useful life. However, aluminum windows often cost more than their vinyl counterparts do for similarly-featured products.
Meanwhile, vinyl windows have inherently better energy efficiency than aluminum, as vinyl (PVC) has a much lower thermal conductivity compared to aluminum. So, a vinyl window will let less heat into your home than an equivalent aluminum window will.
We work with manufacturers to provide both kinds of windows, but we generally prefer to install vinyl windows for its superior insulating properties and because it’s less prone to needing repainting compared to aluminum.
How Long Do Your Windows Last?
The useful life of a window can vary depending on the materials it’s made out of, the quality of the installation job, and how well the window is cared for.
Karoly Windows covers every window we install with a Platinum Standard Lifetime Guarantee. This includes a 25-year installation warranty and a 50-year material warranty. We’re confident that the windows we put in for you will last that long with ease.
How Long Does a Window Installation Take?
The lead time on a custom window installation project can vary depending on a few factors such as the windows you choose to install, the weather, and the availability of labor to complete the installation.
Karoly only uses in-house installers to ensure that every job is done to our high standards of quality. This may mean that there’s a bit of a wait time for us to come to your home. Also, since we get all of our windows made-to-order, there may be a lead time for the manufacturer to complete your windows so we can install them.
When you request a quote for custom window installation, our installation tech will be able to give you an estimated timeline for completing the work.
Why Use Custom Windows over “Standard” Ones?
Why not go to a hardware store to buy your own windows? Especially if you have a standard window opening? Because there’s more to window installation than getting a new window that’s roughly the right size for your opening.
New windows need to be shimmed, insulated, caulked, taped off, leveled, and carefully secured to ensure that they won’t fall out from a stiff breeze or let in moisture from the outside.
Also, in some homes, a structure may ‘settle’ over time, causing window openings to warp slightly with the building frame. Installing windows without accounting for this warping may lead to gaps, cracked windows, and worse.
At Karoly, we always perform an in-person inspection of your window openings before providing a quote for service. This way, we can account for any oddities with your window openings in the initial quote for service so there aren’t any surprises in your bill.
Why Buy New Windows?
The reasons to buy new windows rather than simply replacing the glass in them are numerous. First, glass repair doesn’t always address the issue that caused a window to break in the first place. For example, if the frame is warped and that puts pressure on the window glass to crack it, simply switching out for identically-sized glass may leave you having to replace it again before long.
Second, impact resistance is a system. Switching out non-impact glass for tempered glass doesn’t automatically make the whole window assembly impact-resistant. The frame, glazing, and other materials also need to be designed around impact resistance to ensure that a window can take storm impacts without failing.
Third, window replacement can help you maximize your home’s energy efficiency. Windows that are built to prevent thermal transfer and air leaks help keep your home cooler in the summer so your air conditioning doesn’t have to work so hard to maintain a comfortable temperature.
Finally, some homeowners choose to replace their windows simply to enhance the curb appeal of their home. Replacing windows entirely, frame and all, gives you more control over the appearance of your windows so they more closely match your style preferences.
How Does Your No Interest Window Financing Work?
For the 0% interest financing offers that Karoly has, the 0% interest rate is what financial organizations would call an “introductory rate.” The introductory period varies depending on the specific offer, but after the introductory period ends, the loan reverts to a standard interest rate (the specific interest rate will vary depending on the loan terms, your credit score at the time of application, and more).
There are different ‘no interest’ plans available.
One is a no money down offer with no payments or interest for 12 months. This lets you put off making payments for a full year from the contract date—though making payments during the no interest period is definitely a good idea to minimize the interest later.
For example, if the base interest rate is 22% APR, and you have a balance of $10,000 at the time the introductory period ends. That would mean that your balance would start accruing about $183/month of interest. However, if you made $5,000 of payments before the end of the ‘no payments’ period, your interest would start at about $91-$92/month.
The other ‘no interest’ plan has no money down at the contract signing date, but does have monthly payments. However, the introductory period for that plan is 24 months, giving you more time to pay down the principal balance before it starts accruing interest.
It should be noted that all window financing plans are subject to credit approval by the financing organization.
