Avoid Extra Features (If You Can)
Watch out for advanced window features that can make the cost skyrocket. Unless the
environment demands, you can pass on laminate exterior glass or double pane glass
windows. Some other add-on features sold by window replacement service providers
include trims, hardware and integrated grilles (mullions and muntins).
Often, these service providers offer these feature to expand their profit margins. Don’t fall
for their tricks.

Haggle Till You Drop
As a potential customer, many companies will be at your mercy. They will all compete for
your bucks. This is a bargaining chip that should be taken advantage of. In fact, when it
comes to home remodelling industry, negotiation is almost always expected.
Gather a few of the reliable and trustworthy local companies then put your negotiation
skills to test. Most if not all these companies purchase the materials in bulk and can
therefore package their services (both installation and materials) to consumers. This makes
negotiation even easier. Haggle until you get a rock-bottom price.
