Windows on a Budget

• invest·ment  

  • /inˈves(t)mənt/
    

    Noun A thing that is worth buying because it may be profitable or useful in the future.

This definition doesn't tell the complete story about "investments", does it?  We all know that there are GOOD investments and bad ones.  The best investments pay off in the short term and continue into the long term.  Windows can be that kind of investment but lets not pretend that there is no risk.  Is there anything better for your budget than making a good investment?  Is there anything worse than a bad one?  Just like every other important purchase that you make for your home, underpaying for windows can be as dangerous as overpaying for them.

Our advice is to avoid paying for labels.  Most of our customers are surprised when they learn that the best buys on the window market are usually from manufacturers that they've never heard of.  Most of the most familiar window manufacturers actually specialize in "New Construction" and in our opinion remain behind the curve on "Replacement Windows" (an entirely different animal).

The key to finding a window that saves long-term money without breaking the short-term budget is to work with a company that can offer estimates on multiple budget windows.  Some manufacturers provide great prices for large windows, others for small windows.  Some manufacturers provide better prices for colors or styles.  Not all "Single Hung" windows are cheaper than "Double Hung" and sometimes the most efficient glass doesn't make the most efficient window.

We at Adams Home Windows consider it our job to find each homeowner the deal that will work for both their short & long term budget.  Remember to check our Twitter feed for updates on Manufacturer promotions and deals.  We update it often.
