Buyers Guide to Conservatories – Here are some guidelines

Buyers Guide to ConservatoriesA conservatory can be one of the largest investments that you make in your home and can very be the third largest purchase many people ever make behind the home itself and their automobile. While conservatories can greatly enhance your homes aesthetic appeal and functionality, the process of purchasing a conservatory can be downright intimidating for people that are not familiar with the process and the potential downfalls of making a bad decision.

The price of the conservatory will be a major consideration for you and may even be a “deal breaker” if you find that you cannot afford to purchase one from a reputable dealer. This does not, however, mean that it is necessarily a good idea to use another conservatory dealer just because they may be cheaper. While it is certain that some conservatory suppliers are more affordable than others, there are some suppliers that utilize less-than-ideal practices when selling their conservatories. When a conservatory is built on your property using shoddy construction practices you may end up spending thousands more to repair the initial work. Repair costs can easily soar well over what you had originally saved from going with a cheaper conservatory supplier in the beginning.

Because conservatories are like most other commodities in that you generally get what you pay for, consider these criteria when you look into purchasing your conservatory:

  • How reputable is the conservatory supplier? Are they well-established in your location and come with recommendations? Are you able to speak with past customers?
  • How thorough is the company and its representatives when they survey your property? Do they take accurate and thorough measurements of the soil where the foundation will be laid? Do they take into account drainage requirements, wall construction requirements and other important construction considerations? Do they inform you of the entire process instead of rushing through it?
  • Consider the quality of materials provided by the supplier. If the conservatory supplier utilizes sub-standard quality materials then you will end up paying for it in the long run in increased maintenance and repair costs.
  • conservatory guidelinesWill the conservatory supplier provide prompt and efficient service calls to honor the conservatory warranty?
  • During the construction of the conservatory, how will unexpected problems be handled and who is responsible for the cost?
  • Be sure to check references of prior customers thoroughly. The installation and construction quality of your conservatory are the two most important factors and should be addressed as such.

Since all of the above considerations will affect your bottom-line cost, you will want to be very weary of any supplier that quotes you a price that is wildly different than the majority of other quotes you have received. If they have quoted far too much then they may simply be trying to charge too much money but if they quote far too low, they may be trying to lure you in only to leave you with a sub-standard construction and installation, which can cost you thousands in the long run.
