More than a decade ago, in the midst of the recession that had many businesses struggling to survive, Tru Fit Windows was founded.
Starting a window business was a big change for Sabra Mutters, a former Realtor, who had a negative experience getting a window estimate years before starting Tru Fit Windows. Here’s more about Maverick Windows if you’d like to learn more about windows.
At the time, I was unsure if I was going to keep my house or sell, but either way I knew I really needed new windows, Mutters says. The salesman was in my house for more than three hours and didnt bring a sample or talk to me about making my home more energy efficient, he only talked about money. By the time he left, he had gradually whittled more than $4,000 off the original price. I remember thinking, this is ridiculous, there has to be a better way.
That bad experience years before shaped the concept that has separated Tru Fit Windows from other window companies.
Mutters launched Tru Fit Windows in 2008 with a mission to provide custom-made Quality Replacement Windows that included energy saving technology starting at $188.
Many people were really struggling financially, Mutters adds. I wanted to make sure that even someone on the tightest budget was getting a quality window with the technology of Low-e & Argon Gas to make an impact on their energy bills. Other companies were charging $50 to $80 per window for Low-e that I felt was too important to make optional. There are very few 100 percent female-owned exterior remodeling businesses. Thankfully Im creative, have a thick skin, and I enjoy a challenge.
Edek offers many window styles and options, including a Triple Pane Window with Advanced Energy Saving Technology that gets down to a U Value rating of .19 and an R-Value of 5.
Tru Fit Windows offers advanced window technology solutions for windows that address UV color fading rays that can ruin floors and upholstery, as well as reflecting extreme direct solar heat away from the home, eliminating the need to close curtains and blinds to reduce summer cooling bills. The same technology works to retain interior heat during cold winter months.
If youre a homeowner looking for aggressive energy saving windows that are guaranteed to last a lifetime and add value and beauty to your home, you must consider installing Solar Home tints, Mutters says. Little changes add up to big changes. Saving energy helps us save money by lowering heating and cooling bills, reduces strain on HVAC systems and, ultimately, makes a global impact through reducing Greenhouse gases. Whether or not you believe in climate change, everybody believes in saving money.
We work with homeowners to provide the highest quality product with the most energy savings, within their budget, and Im really proud of that, Mutters adds. Ive worked with elderly people who had windows held in by duct tape that could only do one window at a time. I literally came up with the company tagline: Go Green Without Going Broke at the counter of the printer who was doing the first business card it really sums up what its all about for me.
Tru Fit Windows offers Glass Replacement service as well as Window Replacement.
Ive had customers who had been told they needed to replace all of the windows in a home, only to find that they really just needed new glass because the windows had seal failure (Foggy Glass) or some panes were cracked, Mutters adds. I love to see the look on someones face when we can save them thousands of dollars and improve the look and feel of their home.
