Does Certification make a Difference?
For older homes in the Calgary region, this could actually be one of the more important questions homeowners can ask themselves. Older homes in Calgary’s more historic neighbourhoods like Inglewood and Eau Claire need careful attention when replacing windows and doors. Even the smallest compromise in a window or door’s installation can cause a world of trouble including higher heating costs, water leaks and frost buildup.
Who Oversees Certification
Installation certification is overseen by InstallationMasters™, a training and certification organization based in the US developed and administered by the American Architectural Manufacturers Association. Through this program, installers learn the best practices for window and door installation, guaranteeing a safer and quality end result for homeowners.
To date, the only Canadian owned window and door company employing InstallationMasters certified installers is All Weather Windows Renovations®. The Alberta-based company with more than 40 years’ experience in window, door and glass service has on staff its own InstallationMasters certified instructor, training all new staff coming on board. This eye for quality and care resonates throughout the entire organization offering services across Canada.
