The Challenge
Window Depot, an exterior remodeler in Lower New York, prides itself on transforming homes with exceptional craftsmanship. However, during homeowner consultations, conveying the vision of a completed renovation with just a sample board and the homeowners’ imagination proved challenging.
To address this, Jon turned to Renoworks Pro, seeking a solution that would help his clients visualize their dream renovations more effectively.
This particular success story comes from Jon Unterberg of Window Depot Lower NY in New York.
Jon's Latest Homeowner Project
During a consultation, the homeowner told Jon they wanted to revamp their exterior with a portico addition. Jon quickly suggested color and product choices, along with decorative trim moulding around the windows, aiming to enhance the homeowner’s satisfaction and potentially upsell additional services.
However, there was one issue: while the homeowner was excited, they had difficulty envisioning the final result after the renovation, making them more hesitant to commit to a deposit.

Setting Proper Expectations
Since the customer was nervous about how the final output would look especially with a structural change of adding a portico, Jon provided the homeowner with this design created with the help of his Renoworks Pro Visualizer. The customer was able to make the decision quick and was left feeling excited and great about it!
Quick and Easy Visualizations (After Renoworks Pro)

Jon’s Installation Suggestions: Addition of Siding, Stone, Portico, roofing and trim mouldings all in the front side of the home.

“It’s a competitive market and hence my prices are competitive. I also believe in offering unbeatable customer service. I understand that swatches aren’t good enough to reassure my homeowners on how their remodeling project will look. In a customer’s contract with me, I state ‘Colors to be determined’ and then help them make color and product decisions. I don’t mind if they can’t make up their mind, and need help making decisions. In the end, if the customer is happy I call it a successful project. Renoworks Pro has become a valuable selling and upsell tool for me. Not only does this make me stand out from the crowd, it is also helps me close more jobs.”
