Part 3: Homeowners Desire High-Quality Windows
Our blog series about The Disconnect between what Homeowners Want & Builders Offer continues. In Part 1 we disclosed that builders use cheap, new construction windows without regard to quality or energy efficiency. Part 2 covers the real costs of new construction windows in your home and what they bring to it. In the final part of this series, I’ll discuss why high-quality Ringer Windows are what you really want in your home and how to get them.
How do New Construction & Ringer Windows Costs Compare?
The irony of cheap, new construction windows is that they cost almost as much as our high-quality Performa 3300 Series. In other words, the difference is only about $60 per window. Since homes average 15 windows, it might cost the builder only $900 more to install super-efficient, high-quality windows. In addition, our windows rarely fail or have issues so they’re much more efficient than their cheaper new construction counterparts. In fact, seal failures over time are practically zero. Thus, homeowners will enjoy the comfort of Ringer Windows from the beginning with much lower utility costs. Ultimately, our windows will function well and remain energy-efficient for many decades.

First & Foremost Homeowners Want Efficient, Durable Windows
Many folks with new construction windows tell us they’d have preferred the option to upgrade windows when their home was built. This is in part because they had choices for flooring, lighting, and plumbing fixtures. Thus, unlike builders, remodelers, and supply outlets, initial calls from homeowners for replacement windows are almost never about price. Most intelligent homeowners ask about energy efficiency, how well our operable windows slide, and maintenance. Many also inquire about our window warranties and longevity. In fact, we might not even discuss price until the 2nd or 3rd meeting. Given this lack of price sensitivity, it’s surprising that the trades don’t offer high-quality windows for projects and new homes. A majority of people would probably take them if they had the chance.
Save by Purchasing High-Quality Windows Upfront
Did you know it’s much less expensive to install high-quality windows during construction than as replacements later? So, if you’re a prospective homeowner who is building a home, demand control over the windows going into it. We promise you’ll be happy that you did!
