Home » Installation Matters: Consequences of Poor Installation

When you make a major investment in your home, you want to be sure your money is put to good use. When most homeowners decide to begin their next improvement project, they do not always spend enough time inquiring about the installation process. However, incorrect installation can leave your investment nearly worthless after a short amount of time.

Here are just a few consequences of poor installation that homeowners have to contend with when working with companies that do not focus on proper installation techniques.

Poorly Installed Windows

Window installation requires professionals who are experienced and have real attention to detail. Without correct installation, new windows can pose serious consequences like leaking, water damage, and even flooding. Mold, mildew and other fungus issues can also occur around the window and casing without proper installation, which can cause health issues for the people who live in the home. Finally, poor installation of windows can only exacerbate problems the new windows were supposed to remedy – foggy glass, cracks, and even drafts.

Poorly Installed Doors

When a door is installed incorrectly, you can see, feel, and hear the difference almost immediately. Creaking sounds when you open or close the door can indicate poor installation (and become annoying very quickly) as can doors that “stick” or require quite a bit of muscle to open or close. Drafty doors or dust that flies in under your door frame can also indicate poor installation.
