Barrier window systems will do everything they can to get you to let someone in your house to show you windows. It is almost always under the pretense of winning a sweepstakes. Keep in mind that should you be the very rare winner, you actually do not win the windows for free, you have to pay gift tax which counts as income. Each window will be taxed to you in the amount of roughly $1000 per window as income which you will need to pay tax on at the end of the year.
Once you set an appointment, you will be continuously called and called and called for as long as humanely possible. A barrier sales rep will show up at your house, and act really nice (they are trained to). They will first "warm up" to you for roughly half hour trying to earn your trust. Then they will take some measurements and start pitching you on the barrier window systems company, the barrier window products, blah blah blah. They are trained and under orders to spend at least 2-3 hours in each house! Yes they will do everything in their power to stay at least 3 hours in your home so they can pressure you into making a buying decision. They will pull out every tactic and pressure the heck out of you. They will make numerous phone calls to their manager kirk hilts or the owner tony cadieux telling these complete fibs about the advertising budgets, or a big order up in the north country that they can group with your order right now!
All of this is an act, and is a lie. There is no big order going on that will make your windows cheaper, and the script they say is told daily for years and years, it is all a completely fabricated story of nonsense.
Should you be able to get them out of your house without buying, you will start receiving phone calls most likely the next day from someone saying that they are willing to even lower the price again.
