What Determines the Price of Replacement Windows in San Diego?
In our last blog post, we talked about why we don’t post prices on our website, or take out ads that say “X amount per window, installed!” We should also mention that we usually aren’t able quote prices over the phone or by email, despite the fact that we get requests from potential customers almost on a daily basis to do so. In many industries, getting a price over the phone or by email is no problem, but the window replacement industry is a little different. There are many factors involved in pricing that make it necessary for us to go to a customer’s home, take measurements, and find out exactly what they are looking for in replacement windows before we can accurately quote a price. We wanted to go into a little more detail about what can affect the price of the replacement …
Why Our San Diego Replacement Window Company Doesn’t Advertise a “Price Per Window”
Every once in a while, when I’m driving down the freeway in and around San Diego, I’ll see billboards that say something like, “Windows installed for $149 each” or something along those lines. I always shake my head when I see billboards (or print ads) like this, advertising artificially low prices on replacement windows. One of three things must be true of the San Diego replacement window companies putting out these ads: The company doing the advertising is just picking a random low price so people will call them.

They will explain to the customer that their windows are the “exception” to the $149 price that was advertised, or that the customer needs some added …
Poway Customer Happy With His Choice of BM Windows for Replacement Windows and Doors
Stephen M. is like a lot of our replacement window customers. He did his research online and got multiple quotes on replacement windows and doors for his Poway home. He received quotes from our company and from one of the large San Diego “big box” stores, as well as from another independent replacement window and door company in San Diego. Stephen reports in a Yelp review left for us that the quote we gave him was not the lowest of the three he received—but rather that our pricing for the replacement windows and doors he needed “...was in the middle of the three…” We’re guessing that the lowest price came from the other San Diego replacement window company, since we know that they only sell Milgard windows, which are lower-quality windows than the ones we sell at BM Windows (Anlin, Bay …
The BM Windows Location Finder: A Helpful Tool for San Diego Replacement Window Shoppers
Are you someone who likes to likes to “see for yourself” the type of work a company does before you hire them to work on your San Diego home? Are you a “researcher” who likes to gather as much information as possible before making a decision about a home improvement company? If you answered yes to either of these questions, you are like many people for whom a referral from a friend or family member, or a glowing online review, isn’t enough to convince them that a home improvement company is worth giving their hard-earned dollars to. You want to see a finished product with your own eyes, so you can feel confident that you will also get a favorable outcome in your home. We get it. Buying replacement windows and doors is a big investment in your home—you want to make sure you hire a …
