Why are you worried? Help us help you.............

Back out now if you are not comfortable!

not familiar with Hanson.

What is it more specifically that you are worried about? Hanson's is a huge company, as far as I know their reputation is more good than bad. Without knowing anything further I can say that you are already better off with those guys compared to one of the 70%+ of contractors that fail in their first 5 years (mostly the small, low-price, one man operations), at least in terms of getting professional service and knowing that they will likely be around to answer the phone if/when problems arise.

As far as product, as recommended above, find out exactly what you are getting if you don't already know. Thermal and structural performance ratings (think U value, air leakage, condensation resistance) are a great barometer for quality.

Lastly, if you are still uncomfortable with your decision, you generally have 3 days to back out. Even if you end up going back to them, you should feel good about your investment.

I got into Aside Mezzo windows before I new they were having troubles. They put in two sets, Double and a Triple came out and redone the triple. that lasted a week not they tell me they don't do buy outs. But they will put in what ever window of theirs I want. So I'm trying to find out which one is best in their line. I Brought the Mezzo be cause of the new sleek and elegant design. Didn't want the old bulkier ones. Just had a meeting their people.Asked for a buy out. Was told they never do buy outs on their windows. Please any help and some advice, please. Thanks

lb_jb_banks, it's preferable to start your own thread when asking a question like this.

I agree that you will get more and better feedback on a new thread. I'll just say that as far as "buyouts" or cancellations go, that is generally within 3 days of contract by law. Other companies may allow a cancellation at anytime if the materials have not been ordered yet. Past that, or especially after install unless there is a compelling reason, there aren't too many circumstances where a company will buy back your windows. Warranty would be your recourse.

Research!!!!!!!!! We had an appointment with K-Designers. They wouldn't give us the "deal" other than that day of the appointment!

We probably spent twice what we could have done, had we done the research ahead of time and hired our own people to install them.

They did a horrible job installing the windows which caused leaks and rot down the line which also resulted in a much lower sales price for our house than we could've received!

Also, the roofers found and fixed all sorts of things they caused by faulty construction! Research Research Research! Nancy

Sorry to hear about your experience Nancy. I don’t know that company or anything about them, and I do agree with research, but don’t lament not having tried to general contract that project yourself. The odds were in your favor and by a large margin by going with wha lt shoulve been a known commodity. Sounds like that particular one just wasn’t a great choice, or maybe just a bad project for them. You are definitely right on the research tip though

Some may disagree, but any company that required me to buy something that day for their best price would immediately be asked to leave, and crossed off my list. I wouldnt want to hire a company that seems desparate for my business. Any company that would want me to buy now or lose my deal seems like they’re trying to rope you in or hide something. A company worth their salt should give you at least 30 days to consider their offer.

“We are getting hanson windows in 7/18 , I am very worried .”

what a ridiculous post. I dont even believe you are an actual customer of hansons.

who would ever go with a company if they were worried???

Steve j, proceed how you want, but you may be eliminating some great choices from consideration based on an uniformed overreaction. By all means, avoid shady sales guys, sales gimmicks, huge price drops etc. The fact is that there are more work and resources invested in following up with a potential client after an appointment, so why wouldn’t a company pass along the savings to you the consumer if you move forward sooner? That’s only logical. No they shouldn’t drop the price 50% and say if you call tomorrow it’s full price. That’s BS of course. But passing along legitimate savings in the form of a discount, especially if all else checks out about a company (good product, reviews, etc) is not a bad thing in itself. Here’s a thought, do the research before they come out. I understand the desire to oppose shady sales characters and I agree with it, but blind overreaction is only doing yourself a disservice

I agree. A lot of companies do give their best price on the first visit and it does cost money for them to come back; especially during the busy season. I see nothing wrong with that. In fact, its quite common.

steve j, you are misinformed, desparation has nothing to do with it. Running a business is all about efficiency.

So, it was the LARGE discounts that I was referring to. If someone told me they'd knock of a few hundred bucks or small percentage if they could close the deal today rather than have to come back out, I can certainly understand that because I know time is money. But to say if I don't sign today, the price would jump up considerably is a high pressure shady sales tactic to me and is a sure way to lose my business.

I’d agree with Steve, we know it doesn’t cost a thousands of dollars to have to come out again. Unfortunately many use this tactic because it works, but I’d rather sit in the dentist chair then go through a sales pitch.

I'd agree with the sentiments above. A smallish discount for signing earlier is not distasteful, thousands of dollars would be a different story.

Ultimately with sleazy sales practices, they aren't really that hard to spot. They either are, or they aren't. If it looks like a duck...

Monty plython !!! Havent seen that show in years.
