Don't move! Improve!

Many of us will automatically start looking into buying a new house once our current home starts looking a little tatty around the edges. However, the stress and expense of moving can far outweigh the benefits you may initially feel moving into a 'fresh', 'new' property. Wouldn't it make more sense to invest that time and money into the house you've already made into a home?

A lick of paint on the walls, some new carpets and curtains can make a huge difference, but when it comes to adding value and enjoying a better quality of life, replacing your windows and doors can transform your home.

New double or triple glazed windows come with a number of benefits, including:

• Increased energy efficiency
• Decreased draughts
• Lower heating costs
• Reduction or elimination of maintenance
• Easier cleaning
• Increase in property value
• Reduced noise pollution

Of course, replacing your windows is an investment, so it is essential that you choose the right installers for the job. Yes, you could opt for the national brands, with their 'buy one, get one free' adverts and rapid turnaround. But what about local specialists? What can they bring to the table?

Buy Local

Based in Stratford Upon Avon, Windows Are Us is a true family business, owned and run by father Adam Rose and sons Ryan and Jake. Pick up the phone and call Windows Are Us and you are guaranteed to speak to one of the partners â not a faceless member of the call centre team. Any issues or queries as your job progresses and you know that the person dealing with you is someone who knows exactly what they're talking about and can make instant decisions.

Plus every installer is a member of the Windows Are Us team. All over fifty and with vast experience in the industry, their knowledge and workmanship is second-to-none. Even the bricklayers, electricians and plasterers who may also be needed for your project are old friends and trusted contractors who have worked alongside Windows Are Us' installers for years.

What does this mean? Simply put, if there is any issue arising from any part of the job, Windows Are Us will take full responsibility. There is no passing the buck or blaming other sub-contractors; the problem will just be rectified as soon as possible.

âAs a smaller business, we don't have the marketing budget to compete with the national names,â Ryan explains. âIt means that our work is almost entirely through word of mouth reputation and recommendation. That reputation takes years to build but only moments to ruin, so customer satisfaction is at the forefront of everything we do. We are 100% committed to delivering the highest quality, excellent workmanship and value for money every single time.â
