Frequently asked questions regarding the cost of replacement windows and more!
What is a 'replacement window'?
The term replacement window is used to distinguish our windows from those made for homes being newly built. Typically, replacement windows are NOT made in standard sizes…but instead, are each built to specific, custom sizes to accommodate your home. All The Window Link windows are made to custom sizes, to fit your home.
How do I compare different replacement windows?
Replacement windows can be considered to be the most important energy-saving appliance in your home. We encourage you to speak with more than one replacement window company; to compare and contrast product and service offerings…and to become as educated as you possibly can before making this investment.
When comparing windows, we suggest scrutinizing and comparing the following: Raw Materials (PVC), Hardware and option design, Aesthetics, Strength and Sturdiness, Warranty…and most importantly, Energy Efficiency as validated by the U. S. Dept. of Energy and Energystar.
The Window Link would be delighted to provide you with an in home presentation that touches on all of these topics, so that you can make the very best decision possible.

HOW MUCH DO REPLACEMENT WINDOWS COST?
For many years, the cost of replacement windows remained a mystery to the general public. Why? Partly because there are fairly large differences in the quality of some window products, and thus the prices. But partly because some window companies didn’t WANT you to know.
Unfortunately there are still replacement window companies that hide their prices, only to reveal them after a long presentation filled with psychological tricks aimed at making sure you cannot say no. They will show you their price…which is typically TWICE our price, if not more. Then they will begin a series of games to lower the price and get you to believe you’re getting a ‘deal’.
Now this will probably get us in a lot of trouble with ‘those’ types of companies…but we just don’t care. Replacement windows are an important and wise investment for your home…and you should be treated fairly. The Window Link offers several product packages with pricing that is totally up front. It’s printed right on the contract! Our prices range from $189 to $499 for our Double Hung packages.

HOW MUCH ENERGY WILL WE SAVE?
The truthful answer is, we don’t know. In fact, no one knows. This is because there are so many variable to this ‘equation’. The utility savings that you can expect from new replacement windows depends on where you live, the construction of your home, your old windows and the configurations of the new windows. In our experience, savings range from 12-27%.
How do I know that your products are top quality?

What about all the companies that advertise $189 for any size installed?
In the last several years, you’ve probably seen a few companies across the country that have advertised like this. There are a couple important things to remember and consider.
FIRST: Providing even a “ball-park price”, “up front”…is a recipe for disaster. There are a great many variables to consider when replacing windows. Energy Savings, Design and Aesthetics, Carpentry and Construction, Warranty, etc… In many instances, the “up front” price ENDS UP a great deal higher…after factoring in exactly what you need and want for your HOME. This can seem misleading, and be quite upsetting to homeowners who expected a certain price ‘up front’. We choose not to conduct our business in this manner.
SECOND: When was the last time you received great service and a great product, from a company that went to market as the absolute cheapest? Our guess is NEVER, and there is a HUGE difference between cheap prices, and FAIR prices. The Window Link offers the best combination of price and value in the industry, because our prices are incredibly affordable. Our prices are fair…not cheap.
