There’s no shortage of options when you’re looking to purchase windows for your home. Many big-box window providers market to the masses, but you also have the option to purchase from a local company! Local window companies offer certain benefits you won’t find with larger companies, so you shouldn’t write them off before exploring all your options.
Window Selection
Since big box stores are trying to appeal to the masses, there are not as many options when it comes to window sizes. You’ll find many options for the most popular window sizes and very few or no options for less standard sizes. This is especially true for huge windows. When you buy from a local company, they can create the exact product you need without restrictions on premade products. Any size, color, finish, opening mechanism, lock, or screen type can be made to fit your space.
Customize Your Purchase
A big box store will likely disappoint if you have a specific vision for your windows. They don’t offer customization beyond a certain extent. As we established, that’s not a problem for local companies! Local companies are happy to get customized products from manufacturers they work with so you can get exactly what you want and need.
Better Deals
The prices from big box manufacturers are attractive at first glance, but did you know you can get an even better deal when you shop locally? Local companies have established relationships with manufacturers that make it easier for them to offer good discounts to their customers. The same goes for installation costs. Local companies will have a go-to installer they recommend and can offer a good deal with, unlike big box stores, who simply provide the window.
Educated Staff
Big box window companies can’t afford to train every employee to be a window expert. Some employees simply know just enough to do their job and nothing more. While there’s nothing wrong with this, it’s not enough for some customers. Local companies will be a better fit if you want to work with staff who are well-educated in the world of glass and windows. The number of people they employ is much smaller, which means the education for the job can be more detailed and thorough.
