Homeowners in Pleasanton looking for replacement windows have no shortage of options. They can visit their local “big box” home improvement store, they can hire a general contractor who will then purchase and install replacement windows on their behalf, or our favorite option: working with a dedicated replacement window company.
While a big box store or a general contractor can certainly get the job done, you might be surprised that you can actually save money and get a better outcome working with a replacement window company! Here’s why:
Big box stores like Home Depot sell replacement windows and then outsource their installation to an outside contractor, so essentially, the store is acting as a middle man. Whenever there’s a middle man involved, you can be almost certain that the price will be higher than when there isn’t one, because an extra company needs to be paid in the transaction. In addition, the contractor doing the installation may not be as experienced in window installation as you would hope they would be.
Similarly, general contractors may not have the specific training and experience needed for high-quality window installation. They also might not be familiar with the best windows for Pleasanton homes, and won’t be able to advise you on which upgrades you could benefit from.
A company that only sells and installs replacement windows in Pleasanton, such as Custom Exchange, is going to be extremely knowledgeable about the various products on the market. They are experts in window technology and what features can benefit homeowners (and which ones probably won’t). They also tend to offer very competitive pricing when compared to home improvement stores and general contractors.
As you research companies that sell replacement windows in Pleasanton, make sure to look for one that has their own team of installers. A dedicated installation team is likely to be trained and experienced specifically in window installation.
Small replacement window companies tend to rely heavily on word of mouth for new business. It is in their best interest to provide every customer with a great experience and a great outcome. Looking at customer reviews online is a great place to learn more about replacement window companies in Pleasanton, especially if you don’t know anyone personally who has worked with a company like this.
Here is what a couple of Pleasanton homeowners had to say about working with replacement window company Custom Exchange for their new windows:
“I made a decision to remodel my old house and windows replacement is my first choice because only some were replaced when previous owner remodeled this house. So they were not matched each other and even color was different. Total 1 patio door and 6 windows have been replaced by Michal [at Custom Exchange] and his team. They are quick, responsible, professional and gave me every detail information including warranty. The price is good and my wife and I are really satisfied with new windows. We are very happy.”
– Sang-Soo Y., Pleasanton
“Highly recommend Custom Exchange Windows. I got a couple of quotes from others including HD that I felt were too high. Not only was CEW the most competitive quote I received, the service was first rate with no surprises and the installation went smoothly and as scheduled. Through the entire process Michal kept me informed on progress and delivered on one special window that was a challenging size and shape. My experience with CEW was exceptional and I could not be more satisfied with the service and the new windows.”
– Kevin T., Pleasanton
