Researching A Window Film Installer
You probably have started googling window tint installers in the Fort Collins area already so you probably know there are many different installers and films out there. To begin finding a Fort Collins window film installer that is reputable, a good place to start is on the websites of well-known brands. By starting with a well-known brand you can backward from there. Web pages for brands like 3M, Llumar, Vista, Huper Optik and Hanita Coatings all have a section to find an authorized installer right on their sites. It is key that you find an authorized window tint installer because, if an installer is not authorized by the manufacturer, the warranty for your window film project will not apply.
Finding Information On Window Film Installers In The Fort Collins Area
Finding as much information on window tinting installers is critical to success. Luckily in today’s day and age, there is plenty of information out there. May sure to Check With The Fort Collins Better Business Bureau (BBB) to start.
Things to look for on the BBB site for window film installers are:
- Current complaints,
- Unresolved complaints
- Consistently low ratings
- Combative responses to complaints
These are all red flags. You can likely knock a few installers off your list right here. Be aware that a new contractor or one that changed his legal name to dodge complaints may not have any record of complaints with the BBB, so it is important to look other places online like their social media sites and their website. Someone’s website can tell you a lot about them and their business. Make sure the window film companies you are considering have professional sites that look current. If they don’t have a website–do not consider them at all. Check their social media ratings too: Facebook, Angie’s List, Yelp and home improvement directory sites and tell you a lot about the company and their quality of services.
Ask Questions And Get Referrals From A Potential Window Film Installer
Finally, call all the Fort Collins window film contractors left on your list and ask them for a consultation. This consultation should always be free, fast and convenient. How a window film contractor performs or acts at this point is a good indicator of how they will be once they have the job. If they don’t have time to fit you in for a free consultation within a few days to a week–they may not be able to handle your job in the future. Also, be sure to ask for and actually check their references because the window film industry has a low cost of entry business model and you want to make sure the contractor you choose has numerous success stories to present to you.
