“Bargain” products are offered by “bargain” companies. Their strategy is to offer cheap products at a cheap price. They’re easy to spot: one window line with one glass package. And, of course, one size fits all.

To protect yourself, ask for a warranty and a guarantee. Then carefully read between the lines. Does the warranty cover what it takes to replace a product in the event of failure? Who pays the labor cost for replacement? Next, check the companies’ financial stability. There’s no value in a warranty if the company offering it has no assets.

Sometimes a bad experience with a disreputable vendor can tarnish a good idea. With windows and doors, you don’t want to compromise by using bargain, off the shelf models. Hands down, a custom-designed window will outperform a generic commodity design. We can show you test after test that proves it.

Taking the time to carefully evaluate different windows, glass options, doors and companies pays handsome dividends in the end – both in savings and in improved quality. Regardless of the price, it’s no bargain if it doesn’t work for you.

The payback is attractive. You love the windows. So why delay? Most people who delay do so for financial reasons. But the truth is, the savings you gain in energy efficiency per month will help to off set the cost of the project. And don’t forget, you’ll save money by not having to invest in sunscreens, tint or shutters. So really, it costs you dearly to do nothing. Additionally, attempt to put a value on your families comfort and your families’ safety. It is difficult to do, but clearly there is an economic value to achieving the goals of your project.

Don’t overlook the possibility of doing your project in stages. Do the hottest windows first and then gradually work your way around the entire house. Do areas at a time while considering efficiency and aesthetics. Don’t choose a company or a product that does not fit your needs or achieve your goals just because it is affordable. Doing a project in stages can make it affordable and allow you to get the project and the product that you have always dreamed of.
