When it comes to installing new, efficient windows in your home, you want top-quality products, competitively priced installation and a contractor who knows the ins and outs of their work. Unfortunately, not all companies are committed to these guidelines.
In this article, Renewal by Andersen® of Atlanta reveals three scams you might encounter when dealing with shady companies.
1. Suspiciously Low Prices
This is a sales tactic that is commonplace across many industries. A salesperson will inform you about a low price for either a product or service they are offering that is only good for today, compelling you to decide to work with them immediately. A reputable installer, however, will not rush you to make decisions and will give you ample time to consider all your options.
2. Buy X, Get X Free
A window contractor may present you with a “buy X windows, get X windows free”, which appears like you are getting the best deal. This sales tactic can be tricky to navigate because sometimes it is a legitimate offer. Still, it would not hurt to examine the overall price of the windows you are purchasing. For example, if a company offers you a free window with a purchase of three but the total cost of three windows plus one free is more than the total price for four, consider it a red flag.
3. Bait and Switch
The bait and switch tactic usually starts with an offer for one type of installation. Once you have agreed to the offer, the contractor will change it. A common example is when a contractor claims they use high-quality windows only for those products to be unavailable later on so that they can upsell you on a similar but pricier item.
