There are certain qualities that a good replacement window company should have and if these areas are not available prospects you are dealing with someone who will scam you. Below I provide a quick list of these:

Certification and licensing

Replacement Window Contractors are expected to have a certificate that allows them to operate in an area. A scammer can produce some forged certificates to prove that they are both certified and licensed to do business in your area. You should follow and check with the relevant authorities before you hire any. If a company is not certified, then there must be a reason, which should tell you not to employ them.

Membership

If you have ever hired a contractor before then you know they always boast of being a member of a particular industry association. They all know this is important, because being a member means you are on a certain level of "better" than your competitors. Now a ruthless company would submit false information on this just to get them to their committee to do the job

Portfolio to someone else

If you've ever read some of my impressions, then you know that I always recommend checking out some previous work done. This puts you at ease as you see the kind of work the company can manufacture replacement. These companies know this and can 'steal' other portfolio companies and show it as theirs.

Quotation expensive

This is a obvios scammed. I had a contractor to produce a quote and told me it was the cheapest in the area. He spoke convincingly to believe it and never bothered to get some more quotes from other companies. I must say that unfold.

Add me to the quotation

Sometimes you will get them to provide a quotation, you double check with others and choose it as well. After you sign the contract unscrupulous replacement window companies will tell you that they should requote and give you a reason for requoting thousans confusing. This is why you should make sure that a potential contractor inspects your house and finds the exact costs before you sign anything.
