Vinyl Window Prices: What Contractors Won't Tell You

Hey guys, Sean with American Window Concepts. In today's video, we're talking about window prices. Maybe some people aren't telling you about your window package. Okay, so have you ever received a quote and at the end it's like a paper and they're just saying it's this, this, these are the nominal widths and heights and at the end, here's a number, here's what you're spending, right? And let's say for instance, you count 10 windows and a patio door and your price is $22,000. So now you look at this and go, okay, well, is that the window price? That's the window price installed. They don't have anything broken down. They don't tell you what the window prices are for each window. Well, with my company, we do a complete breakdown. When you get our quote, you're going to have CAD drawings, itemized line items about, well, the size of your window, the performance of the window, and it'll tell you the price of that window. If you wanted sound package glass or anything that's going to be an adder, you'll have that down. So you'll have your bold price. Too easy. All this information is all right there. And then at the end, you'll see, well, this is our labor. This is our hallway. This is everything included to get these windows buttoned up and in your home. This is what you're going to pay. People love that. But I've heard so many stories and people have shown me, I've seen for myself, where it's either a handwritten paper. It's just the numbers of the window, window one, window two, window three. And then at the end, boom, it's, it's this price. But there's no breakdown for a customer and the people can't tell them, well, I don't know. I mean, it's just everything all included. It's this price. And that bothers me. And it bothers a lot of customers because I feel that you should be in the know. You should know exactly where your money is going when you're ready to spend money on a window. Clear, concise information for a customer, first and foremost, that's exactly what you need to do. You should expect that, Joe customer. You should always make sure that you are in the know of everything. Where is my dollars and cents going? That's not hard. My company and a lot of others like us will show you exactly where your dollars and cents are going to go. I feel like that's the right way to go. What about moving the bed back? You know, we're a little bit older and we just can't move that bed. Can your guys do it? Is there an extra charge for that? All these different things. And for us, the answer is no, we're not going to charge you extra just because we have to move a bed back. Come on. Pulling down blinds and putting them back up again. Some companies charge. We don't. It's too easy. Pull them down. It takes us a minute to pull them down and put them back up again after they're installed. And oh, by the way, when we pull the blinds down and we put our new window in and our caulking lines are still wet and perfect looking, last thing I want to do is have a customer take some blinds and just jam them into the window and it's like, oh, not our caulking. We just did that. We'll do it. We'll do it because we don't want it to be pushed up against our brand new window. Anyways, you want to make sure that all these things are accounted for. Like, what does this all include? Hope this helps. Just want to make sure that you are in the know when it comes to where your dollars and cents are going. I think it's very important and I think you should know. All right, guys, make it a great day.
