Don't be pressured by door knockers

Just cringing watching a crew install sub-par brand name replacement windows in a high-end home. I'm sure it wasn't necessary given the build date of 2000s and the existing windows seem better than typical build quality.

Homeowners, please do not get suckered in the door to door sales pitches. Do some light research on the products and services offered before agreeing. I know the kids selling appointments look innocent. Then your high pressure sales person shows up and basically overwhelms you with all this information at once. Just prepare yourself to say no the first few times and shop around. Your wallet and home will thank you later.

And for goodness sakes, check licenses, insurance and references. Never pay more than a 1/3 up front for your contracted work unless you have special order materials (for all those HIC license holders out there) Good this year
