4 Misconceptions About New Window Projects
- All Window Companies Care About is Profit. This one is quite common and couldn’t be further from the truth. Sure, some window companies may sell you one window quality and show up to install something less durable or have inexperienced installation crews whose work isn’t quite up to par. But these are generally easy to spot. If they are a brand new company or their name is a variation of a name they used last year, be wary. Some companies go out of business to avoid fulfilling warranty obligations only to start a new company, rinse and repeat.
But most professional window replacement companies are 100% legitimate and dependable. They couldn’t stick around for longer than a year if they weren’t! Customer reviews, social media ratings, and BBB rankings can tell a lot about whether a company will do its utmost for you.
- All Replacement Windows are Alike; pick the Cheapest. This is also a misnomer. Sure, there are varying window qualities in a company’s showroom, but no reliable company will sell you a product they know will fail. They have not only their reputation to think about but also their financial obligation if they need to replace a bad outcome. You will find a range of window options in a window company’s product line, all quality, some with more energy-saving options or longevity features.
- Your Energy Savings Will Be Minimal. If this were true, window companies would not be able to sell anything! One of the most vital features of modern window products is their ability to give you exceptional long-term savings on energy costs.
