Deciding on the right windows for your home can be a challenge. You do want windows that look great and do their job well, but you also don’t want to spend an arm and a leg. In some industries, paying more will yield a much better product but is that true when it comes to replacement windows? Read on to learn more and then reach out to Progressive Insulation & Windows at (800) 500-6200 to learn more about your specific options.

Some deals are too good to be true

If you’re working with a salesperson who’s offering you windows at a price that seems too good to be true then it probably is. As with any industry, there are companies out there who are looking to make a fast sale and they may use tactics that are less than ethical. For example, they may inflate their regular prices so that their sale prices appear to be a great deal.

They may start off with a great deal but then upsell you bit by bit until you’ve somehow agreed to spend much more than you’d planned. They may quote one price for a certain window but the day they show up to install your window, they may use an entirely different window of a lower quality. Finally, they may exaggerate how energy efficient their windows are or they may not be totally honest when discussing their window’s lifespans.

This may be a situation in which you get what you pay for

How long do you want your windows to last? If you want them to last for the life of your home then you’re not going to find them at a bargain basement clearance window dealer. If you want good quality materials, expert craftsmanship, and exceptional installation, then you’re going to need to choose an experienced company – and that may cost you more than getting low quality windows from an inexperienced company.

High quality windows offer a ton of value

The real thing to consider isn’t the price but the value of the windows you’re choosing. For example, a window that’s more energy efficient may cost more than one that’s less energy efficient, but you’ll save on your monthly utility bills, which helps reduce the lifetime cost of your windows. When you choose fiberglass windows, which are more expensive than other options, you won’t have to paint them, which saves time, hassle, and money.

There are other benefits too, like using fiberglass that doesn’t rust, chip, rot, peel, or warp. New windows will be weathertight and you’ll never have to worry about rain or other elements getting in through cracks in your window’s frames. Certain windows may be eligible for tax rebates from the federal government, and it may be wise to pay more for custom-made windows that perfectly fit in within your home.

If you’re searching for the best windows for your home then we encourage you to call Progressive Insulation & Windows at (800) 500-6200 for a consultation. We will work to help you find the perfect balance between cost and quality.
