10 Reasons to Replace Your Windows with McGrath Real Estate
Window replacement is one of the most popular home improvement projects. It is also a costly project if you don’t do your research. While the benefits to having quality windows are endless, including energy efficiency, saving money & rebates and improving the overall look of your home, you also want to make sure you’re making this big investment at the best price around. McGrath Real Estate Services always searches for ways to offer our clients REAL value in their real estate, from property management to sales to renovations! Here is how YOU will benefit from using our window program:
1. WHOLESALE PRICES = LOWER COSTS
We receive Wholesale prices from a top quality window manufacturer, Gorell, directly through MidSouth Building Supply. The vast savings in pricing alone could save you thousands on the purchase of your new windows. Plus you can avoid the stress of a pushy salesman who doesn’t have your best interests in mind.
Your price becomes 25% BELOW the par.
The skilled salesmen for windows have been trained to handle whatever negotiations you bring to the table, their goal is to sell the windows as much above the par as they can. Their sales pitch might start at 40% above the par and then tell you they’ll provide you a “discount” and then you negotiate another 10% off that. You think you’re getting a great deal, and compared to what the windows were selling for on the street, you are. McGrath’s alignment with MidSouth allows us to buy directly from the window distributor and your price becomes 25% BELOW the par. Rather than pricing the windows to sell for as much as we can, we are selling them for as little as we can to justify maintaining the program.
2. REBATES & LOWER MONTHLY UTILITY BILLS
Some utility companies are offering rebates to homeowners who invest in new energy-efficient windows. The rebates alone could potentially save you hundreds of dollars per year. By using less heat or air conditioning to heat or cool your home, energy-efficient windows allow you to save on your monthly utility bills. When you install new windows, heated or cooled air will stay in your home that otherwise can escape through older, drafty windows. This can literally save you hundreds or thousands of dollars per year.
3. GOING GREEN
Installing new windows helps save the environment by using less natural gas to heat your home in the winter. Gorell windows are not only extremely durable and highly energy efficient, they’re also an excellent ‘green’ home improvement. You’re saving energy and saving money.
4. FUTURE SALE
Any upgrade to your home is going to make it look better, but new windows gives it a great curb appeal and lasting first impression. New windows will help improve the resale of your home as it adds value to your property in all the ways mentioned above. In this real estate market every little bit helps!
5. SMOOTH OPERATION & SAFETY ENHANCEMENT
Gorell windows are extremely easy to operate, require little to no maintenance, and performance can be directly tied to safety. Should your windows stick and not open properly, they can be a safety hazard. Also keep in mind some windows built prior to 1980 contain hazardous material such as lead-based paint.
6. AESTHETICALLY PLEASING
New windows not only provide comfort but will improve the appearance of your home and make it look more appealing. You can always tell the difference between a home with and without new windows. New windows give a more refined look to the exterior and interior of the property.
7. EASY TO CLEAN
The architectural grids of Gorell windows not only look great but are very easy to operate and clean thanks to the convenient tilt feature that allows you to wash them from inside your home. Newer windows feature low maintenance cladding, a protective exterior covering that requires minimal maintenance, leaving behind the hassle of scraping, painting and caulking found in old windows.
8. VAST ARRAY OF STYLES & SIZES
Gorell windows come in a wide variety of styles, shapes and options, allowing you to customize or match the look of your home from ultra modern to contemporary to traditional. There are so many options in an assortment of price ranges you can find windows to fit your budget and create the home you’ve always wanted.
9. AVOID MOLD
A new window will have excellent sealing not allowing water leaks and moisture to come into the home. With older windows, the seal is likely old and/or cracked and moisture can seep in and lead to mold, putting your health at risk.
10. REPUTABLE BUILDING SUPPLY & WINDOW MANUFACTURER
We work with Gorell Window Manufacturer (Often called the best windows in the U.S.) & MidSouth Building Supply Installer. MidSouth’s creed — Take care of the customer.
Our alignment with MidSouth is to service our clients who want to improve their home and purchase replacement windows at the best price. If you are interested in learning more information or obtaining a quote, contact Dave Anderson at DAnderson@McGrathRealEstate.com
