Buying Replacement Windows

The following is an excerpt from my

"Confessions of a Remodeling Contractor" ebook. 

There is no one “best” window, no matter what the salesperson tells you. Look around & buy the one you want at your leisure, not at the pressure point of a sales persons’ pen & contract. Look at three different windows before you decide which one is the best deal. Replacement windows will usually have a special feature that interests you. Pick the one you want. Again, good contractors want you to be happy. They’ll work with you for your business.

[ADSENSE_0000000126] Beware of add-on's. For example, at the last minute, contractors like to sell you triple pane windows. I have never been convinced the manufacturers’ claims of energy savings are as high as they say it is. Personally I wouldn’t spend any money on this item. It will take you several years to recoup your money (if ever) on energy bills.

When shopping for a large remodel, room addition, or dormer, my advice stays the same. As I point out in the “Getting the Lowest Estimate” you can search efficiently for the best price by seeing three contractors & making sure you are receiving the same identical job from each.

It takes much more effort by the homeowner to select the right contractor & see the job through to a happy ending. But if you ask the right questions and choose the contractor who you are most comfortable with and trust, your chances of satisfaction will be much better.
