It seems like there’s very little left these days that can still be considered affordable. The prices for just about everything continue to rise, even though inflation is supposedly slowing down. This has caused people to be more price conscious than ever—taking a little extra time to shop around for the best value on whatever they are looking to buy because their money just doesn’t go as far as it used to.
Homeowners shopping for replacement windows can find that the cost can vary quite a bit among window companies in San Diego. However, when it comes to a home improvement project as important as new window installation, you don’t want to just look for the cheapest price—although we know how tempting it can be to do so!
Instead of the lowest price, what you really want to look for in replacement windows is a good value. Value implies that something is of good quality in relation to its price. It may not be the cheapest, but rather, the best product you can get for your budget.
BM Windows is a replacement window company in San Diego that is more concerned with providing their customers with a good value than being the cheapest window company in San Diego. Owner Michal Bohm explains, “There are a lot of window companies that sell what we would consider ‘cheap’ windows. They are made with subpar materials and hastily put together. They only have the bare minimum when it comes to energy saving technology. But the companies that sell them sell a lot of them, because there are customers out there that are looking for the lowest price possible on new windows. At our company, we have chosen not to offer cheap windows because they are simply not good products. We can’t, in good conscious, recommend them to our customers. Instead, we have chosen to offer windows that are good quality, but still affordable for most San Diego homeowners.”
The windows they sell at BM Windows are from manufacturers that many people haven’t heard of before, such as Anlin and Monte Verde. Some people assume that because they haven’t heard of a brand, it’s not good. This isn’t necessarily the case with replacement windows. Bohm explains, “Some window brands are not as well known as others simply because they aren’t sold in retail stores. Instead, they are sold exclusively by window companies like us, and you wouldn’t see them displayed unless you came to our showroom. These windows also tend to come from smaller manufacturers that don’t have huge advertising budgets that allow them to advertise on television.”
In other words, don’t be turned off by windows from manufacturers you aren’t familiar with, as they could offer you a great value and perform well in your San Diego home for many years to come!
