When you’re either renovating or just remodeling your home, a very important part which many at times overlook is, Buying Quality. With all the costs amounting, people tend to cut corners, and costs. When one doesn’t truly understand what the item is, how it’s made, how it works, therefore how long it will last. An interesting conversation I have with customers goes somewhat along these lines. There’s a cheaper company that sells shower systems, faucets etc. the customer would like to buy from this company since for one there cheap and secondly they have a great warranty policy, probably the best in the industry. They have a no questions asked policy they ship all parts and pieces right away. Sounds great, but one thing the consumer does not take into consideration, which they DO NOT pay for the plumber. Average plumbers can charge $75.00 + a service call, by the time you fix an item just once you are already paying double. Now next fact is that you will have to change parts and pieces for as long as you have this company’s items, they are cheap because they cut so many ends that the quality is so fragile that it will leak and break, that’s a guarantee. Therefore if the consumer will spend more in the first place on a quality built item they won’t have to be spending it on the plumber. Plus there are advantages with a more expensive company; they have nicer and larger selections, like style, color, etc. Something else they don’t know is that the guarantee that they have is as good as the cheaper company just that people don’t know since they didn’t have problems with it to know that there as good. The fact that everyone knows that the cheaper company has such a great warranty service should send off an alarm in one’s head asking how does everyone know? Is the quality that bad that everyone had to use their warranty service?
Think about the above mentioned, I will be back with more points of thought, and good investing tips.
