DIY may be all the rage these days, but when it comes to window installations in Vancouver homes, you may want to think twice.
Improperly installed windows may not be noticeable at first glance but they can lead to an assortment of problems that are costly to repair and inconvenient in a number of other ways. New windows are an investment, and as such they should be protected. Ensuring they’re properly installed is the first and most crucial way you can do so.
Potential Pitfalls of Improperly Installed Windows

Pests can wreak all kinds of havoc once in your home and can even make you and your family members sick.
