Why Is the Other Home Improvement Company Cheaper?

💰 Why Is the Other Home Improvement Company Cheaper?

When comparing quotes for Interior Shutters, Closet Doors, Retractable Screens, Roller Shades, Honeycomb Shades, Banded Shades, Woven Wood Shades, or Blinds, it’s natural to wonder why one company costs less.

Here’s the honest breakdown:


🛠 1. Product Quality (You Truly Get What You Pay For)

The cheaper the product… the cheaper it is to sell.

Some one-man operations intentionally choose the lowest-cost materials so they can advertise the lowest price. That may sound appealing upfront — but lower quality often leads to:

  • Warping shutters

  • Doors coming off track

  • Screens sagging or tearing

  • Shades failing prematurely

  • Frequent service calls

At Classic Improvement Products, we refuse to sell products we know will fail.

We constantly test new vendors, compare materials, and evaluate long-term performance to ensure we are offering only the highest quality options available.

Our goal?
We don’t want to see you again… unless you’re ready for your next project.

We do NOT want to come back for repairs caused by cheap materials.


🏢 2. The Company Itself (This Is Actually the #1 Reason)

A lower price often reflects a different business structure.

⚠️ The “One-Man Operation” Scenario

  • No real contractor’s license (sometimes just a driver’s license)

  • No liability insurance (maybe just car insurance)

  • No bond

  • No showroom

  • No physical business location

  • No employees

  • Limited online presence or credibility

  • No structured warranty process

  • Hard to reach if something goes wrong

When you hand over a deposit, you’re trusting that person completely.


✅ The Established Company Difference

At Classic Improvement Products:

  • 22+ years in business

  • Licensed, bonded, and insured

  • 100% employees (no subcontractors)

  • Physical working showroom

  • Established online presence

  • Structured ordering & installation process

  • Dedicated service department

  • Ongoing customer support

Yes — that means higher overhead.
Yes — that means we cost more than someone working out of a truck.

But that overhead gives you peace of mind.

When you provide a deposit:

  • We show up.

  • We install professionally.

  • If something needs attention, we handle it.

  • We stand behind the work.


🧠 The Bottom Line

There is always a reason someone is cheaper.

Sometimes it’s efficiency.
But most often, it’s product quality, business structure, and long-term accountability.

With 22 years in business, we can confidently say:

We are not competing to be the cheapest.
We are competing to be the most reliable, professional, and highest quality option available.

And that difference is what protects your home, your investment, and your peace of mind.
