Seci Construction Joins a Select Group of Pella Certified Contractors
Seci Construction, Inc. is a Pella Certified Contractor, giving homeowners in our service areas a window installer that has completed Pella’s required certification and installation training.
For customers looking for a reliable window installation company, the designation from Pella, a leading U.S. manufacturer of residential and commercial windows and doors, offers a clear point of difference: Pella requires certified contractors to meet standards for training, insurance, licensing, background checks, and ongoing certification.
Meeting the High Standards of Pella’s Window Contractor Program
Pella certification isn't based simply on a contractor selling or installing Pella windows. Fewer than 5% of contractors nationwide hold Pella’s Certified Contractor designation, and contractors entering certification have specific requirements they must meet to maintain this elite industry status.
To achieve designation within the network of Pella Certified Contractors, a company must:
- Pass a background check and provide proof of insurance
- Meet applicable local licensing and employment requirements
- Complete an annual certification training course
- Complete local installation training or an installation audit
- Meet Pella's applicable program and purchasing requirements
Certified Pella Contractors receive and maintain continued education that covers proper installation and best practices for Pella products.
Homeowner Benefits of Choosing a Pella Certified Window Installer
Choosing a Pella Certified Contractor gives homeowners an added level of manufacturer-backed qualification when hiring someone to install Pella windows.
Product-Specific Installation Training
Pella windows have installation requirements that can vary by product, opening, and replacement method. Certified Contractors complete Pella training intended to reinforce proper installation techniques and product-specific best practices.
Additional Contractor Screening
Ongoing Certification Requirements
Certification is not simply earned once and forgotten. Pella requires annual certification training, along with local installation training or an installation audit, helping contractors stay familiar with current installation practices, manufacturer requirements, and products they use every time they install new windows on a home.
Better Coordination Between the Window and the Installation
Even a well-made replacement window can develop problems if the opening isn't properly prepared, flashed, sealed, or fitted. Working with a window contractor trained specifically on Pella products helps connect the window you selected with installation practices developed specifically for the manufacturer's products.
Why Choosing Who Installs Your New Windows Is Important
A replacement window is only part of the project. The opening also needs to be measured, prepared, flashed, sealed, fitted, and finished according to the requirements of the product and installation type. Small mistakes during those steps can affect how the window operates and how well it keeps out air and moisture.
As Pella puts it:
“Proper installation is key to excellent performance.”
Flashing and Sealing Affect Air and Water Protection
The area around the window is part of the home's exterior envelope. Proper flashing, sealant, and preparation around the opening help direct water away from the wall and limit unwanted air movement.
Installation problems may eventually show up as:
- Drafts around the window
- Water intrusion or staining near the opening
- Condensation concerns related to air leakage
- Windows that are difficult to open, close, or lock
- Gaps around the frame or interior and exterior trim
- Reduced comfort near the window
Some of these symptoms can also have other causes, which is why the condition of the opening and surrounding materials should be evaluated by a skilled window installer as part of the project.
