Did you know that the quality of windows in a home can reveal everything about a builder’s priorities? One of the most expensive line items in a remodel or new build is the window and door package—it’s a true reflection of a home’s overall construction quality. When buying a home, it’s easy to be wowed by beautiful upgrades like custom tile and stunning countertops. But don’t let those fancy details distract you from the bigger picture—like the quality of the windows. In fact, asking about the brand of windows is like looking into the soul of the builder. I’ve heard of million-dollar homes with windows that are absolute junk, and it completely colors your view of the rest of the house.
If a builder skimps on windows, which is one of the most expensive and critical parts of construction, what else might they have cut corners on? Quality windows are a clear sign that the builder is committed to high-end construction. If they’re cheaping out there, you might want to lower your expectations on the rest of the home—especially the things you can’t see.
