With a “true and total commitment” to customer satisfaction, Clera Windows + Doors is truly attentive to the values that built its credible reputation.Taking pride in its business model, Clera Windows and Doors sells it product directly, avoiding the middle man markup. In its industry, many quality window and door manufacturers have zero control over the installation of its products because they are sold to renovators or installation contractors who may be unknowledgeable on how to properly replace a vinyl window or door. According to Clera Windows + Doors, even the best product will not perform optimally if it is improperly installed.“You never get into the classic tug of war between manufacturer, installer and contractor because if there is a problem, we are the problem solver,” says John Gainham, Vice President of Sales and Marketing with Clera Windows + Doors.PRODUCT ADVANTAGES AND INSTALLATIONSome advantages of Clera Windows and Doors products, particularly vinyl windows, is that they require virtually zero maintenance, while also offering increased comfort (vinyl windows decrease drafty air that loses warm temperatures or a cool breeze) and instant savings on home heating and cooling costs, typically at a nine to 18 percent cost reduction. Energy efficient windows reduce the cost of electrical lighting as well. A seemingly timeless product, vinyl windows do not rust, corrode, blister, flake or peel and are available in a range of colours. Vinyl windows not only have climate control features, keeping houses cool during summer months and capturing heat during the winter season, but are also air resistant and include water infiltration features, meaning the installed windows save energy efficiently.Clera Windows and Doors offers free estimates, beginning with a no obligation, in-home visit from a company window and door replacement expert to evaluate renovation project desires, display product samples, give recommendations, and take measurements to advance the potential project to its next stage. Customers are provided with an estimated cost of the renovation.
