Why Country Window & Door Uses Employees — Not 1099 Contractors

When you're inviting someone into your home to work on your windows and doors, you're trusting them with one of your biggest investments. Unfortunately, many homeowners don't realize that not all installation companies operate the same way.

At Country Window & Door, we believe the people working in your home matter just as much as the products being installed. That's why we employ our installers as W-2 employees—not 1099 subcontractors—and why we perform thorough background checks before anyone joins our team.

You Should Know Who Is Coming Into Your Home

One of the most common concerns homeowners have is, "Who exactly will be doing the work?"

At Country Window & Door, our installers are not random subcontractors hired for a single project. They are members of our team.

Before joining our company, employees go through an extensive screening process, including background checks, so we can confidently stand behind the people we send into your home.

We know our employees. We train them. We work alongside them. And we trust them.

That means you can feel comfortable knowing the people arriving at your home have been carefully selected and represent the values of our company.

Employees Are Accountable

When a company relies heavily on subcontractors, the quality of the installation can vary depending on who shows up that day. Different crews may have different standards, different methods, and different levels of experience.

Our employee installers follow the same installation practices, use the same materials, and are held to the same quality expectations on every project.

If there is ever a question or concern, we don't point fingers at a subcontractor. We take responsibility because the work was completed by our team.

Our Installers Are Not Paid Per Window

Another important difference is how our installers are compensated.

Many installation crews in the industry are paid by the unit installed. The faster they work, the more they earn.

While that system can increase production, it can also create pressure to move quickly from one opening to the next.

At Country Window & Door, our employees are paid for their time and craftsmanship—not by the number of windows they install.

This allows them to focus on what matters most:

• Proper measurements

• Careful installation

• Correct flashing and sealing

• Insulation around the window

• Attention to detail

• Thorough cleanup

• Taking the time to address any unexpected issues

Our goal is not to install the most windows in a day. Our goal is to install your windows correctly.

Done Right the First Time

A window installation is only as good as the crew installing it.

Even the highest-quality window can perform poorly if corners are cut during installation. Air leaks, water intrusion, operational problems, and premature failures often stem from rushed workmanship rather than the window itself.

By employing our own installers and removing the pressure of piece-rate pay, we create an environment where quality comes first.

If a project requires extra time to ensure everything is square, level, insulated, and sealed properly, that's exactly what we expect our team to do.
