Decision Time

I had one other lumberyard I wanted to check out for the door and window products I need for my remodeling project but it turned out the supply company was only open while I was working and things have been a little bit too busy here at the office for me to take a couple hours to go shop. So one evening while at Home Depot looking for a couple other items, Chris and I stopped by the window display.

I hate to say it, but the display was very nice. They had three manufacturers’ products on display, with a range of high-end to what I’d call more reasonably priced options for each manufacturer. We were immediately drawn to one particular window and about the time we had made up our minds there was a sales associate at our elbow ready to help us draw up a quote. Elijah walked us quickly through the options for the window and was able to print out a price and detailed description of the particular window we wanted in less than five minutes. The two-week delivery time was a bit of a drawback but as there was no question this was the product we wanted we agreed to the purchase. The patio door we did ultimately purchase from Supplier A – it was a good product he had and the lower price helped our decision.

Now hopefully I’ll have some photos of the installation process in a couple weeks!

Now on another note, I just wanted to send out a reminder that the December issue of USGlass features our Industry Buyer’s Guide. If you or someone at your company has not yet registered to be included, please send me an email this week. We’ve updated our process for bringing you the guide, putting it entirely in your hands, so it’s essential that you register with us to be listed. And trust me, you want to be listed. This is the issue that people will be reaching for all year to find out which companies offer the products they need.
