Here are some helpful hints for choosing the best place to buy impact windows.
Internet / Google – Check websites carefully, they can tell a lot about a company.
Impact Window Websites should be detailed & informative.
- Websites should NOT look like a SALES SOLICITATION .... move on to something more legitimate and informative.
- Websites should be more than 2 or 3 pages ...And It should be easy to navigate.
- Websites should look Professional & Credible – are photos shown actual job installations or stock photos from a catalog?
- Is their Gallery of jobs credible? Showing small residential homes next to Hi-Rise condos doesn’t necessarily mean they replaced the entire condo bldg., most likely a few units in that building.
- Is the company an Authorized Dealer? You can verify by calling the Manufacturer. Some companies will list every known Window & Door brand under the sun, it very unlikely that a company carries every brand, it’s not feasible.
- Is there contact information to talk to an actual knowledgeable person? Stay clear of websites that direct you to filling out a sales contact lead sheet. You should be able to call someone directly.
- Are the products “Made in America”? Remember Chinese drywall? You need to ask where products are made. Some products are imported & assembled here. Generally, you won’t be told if products are imported unless you ask. If you're looking for the "cheapest price", you'll most likely end up with a "cheap import". Keep Americans Working!.
- Do the companies have a Showroom? Or are they working out of the back seat of a truck with mini-samples? Do they list an address? You can verify with Google Maps & "Street View".
- Does the company carry Liability & Workers Comp. Insurance?
- Is the company licensed in the county it operates in? Do they have an Occupational License? You can check Occu. Lic. on the internet by city or county
- Are they licensed to install? Who qualifies the company?
- Are their Testimonials all "one liners" ?
Direct Mail - Flyers. Magazines & Mail Catlogs – Scrutinize these ads carefully.
- Companies with the word AMERICAN in their name do not necessarily sell Made In America products.
- If the ad does not show an address, most likely they do not have a showroom or are working out of a truck or they just don’t want you to know much about themselves.
- Some ads can make a company look huge……in reality, they may be working from home or out of a garage or warehouse.
- Be Aware of companies that offer “Factory Direct Pricing” … There is no such thing unless you're dealing direct with the manufacturer.
Impact Window Showrooms – This is the most reliable way to choose a company.
- Showrooms are like a person’s clothes or appearance; it speaks volumes about that company.
- Allows you to see the actual product up close & personal. Compare manufacturers’ side-by-side. See the features and benefits you’re looking for.
- See full size displays and cut-away samples, not dusty miniatures in a warehouse or garage.
- Literature should be clean and readily available.
- Before you decide on a company… make a visit to each.
