Show the representative the windows that you want to replace. Request a written estimate and continue to shop to find the lowest price possible.
- Call a second window company to get another estimate. Meet with the sales rep and find out the cost of the windows including the installation charge. If you are going to do the installation work yourself, negotiate a lower price with the salesperson. Compare the cost of the two window companies to see which one has the best price.
- Check online to find energy efficient windows. If the price of the windows without installation is less than the local window companies cost, buy the windows online. If you need help replacing the windows, contact local installers to get different estimates.
