Why are replacement windows prices so hard to find on the internet? Because the owners of window companies don't want you to know what the true prices are!
Nearly all home improvement companies operate like car dealerships; it's up to the consumer to negotiate the best price. This means that the salesman work on pure commission, and a window salesman's commission checks are based on how much they can sell those windows for.
The more gullible and unsuspecting the homeowner, the higher the window salesman will likely sell the windows for, thus maximizing his/her commissions on the job. It's the homeowners that do their due diligence that get the best price because they know not to fall victim to the window salesman's tactics.
Take notice to nearly all the replacement window companies websites that are out there. How many of them do you actually see prices on? The same will hold true for gutter companies, deck companies, sun rooms, kitchens, baths, any and all home remodeling businesses. It's a simply truth that most homeowners do not know what these projects should really cost, so a smooth enough salesman can convince the homeowner of anything.
Read some of the forums that are out there and you'll see many homeowners writing about the estimates that they've received. If you pay close attention on forums across the web, you'll find homeowners that received estimates for nearly identical windows, that are thousands of dollars apart.
So why are replacement windows prices so hard to find? Because if it were easy, then window companies couldn't make the profit margins that they've grown accustomed to earning. If everyone was made aware, then companies wouldn't be able to hire great smooth talking salesman, because it wouldn't be lucrative enough to attract the great sales talent.
