Should You Choose National Brands or Local Window Companies?

When buying replacement windows for your home, one of the most important decisions you have to make is choosing between local window companies or national brands. As a homeowner, you have to make sure your new windows are durable, energy-efficient, and appealing. To help you determine the right decision for your windows, Renewal by Andersen® of Rapid City discusses the pros and cons between the two options. 

Pros and Cons To Consider

While there are hundreds of window companies, it can be a fragmented industry. As such, brand-name windows do matter. In addition to that, choosing a branded window for your home guarantees a certain level of quality. When you sell your home in the future, you may attract prospective home buyers with branded appliances, flooring, and even windows. Legacy brands, most especially, can be used to your advantage. 

Moreover, major brand companies also offer warranties if they provide poor customer service or defective products. Some off-brand companies may offer warranties but fail to honor them. In some instances, they may not even remain in business long enough to honor them. 

On the other hand, if you purchase your windows from big box stores, you will still need a window professional to have them installed. Local window companies not only make windows and sell them directly to customers, but they can also install or repair them if something goes wrong. For all these reasons, many homeowners prefer purchasing windows locally.
