How to enhance project value without compromising quality – case study
place
New York, Long Island , USA
In high-end construction projects, like luxury homes, it’s essential to find materials that balance quality and cost. Roland, a seasoned developer from New York, faced this challenge when selecting windows for his Long Island residence.
He opted for aluminum windows that cut material costs by 50% compared to similar U.S. products. By making this choice, Roland was able to optimize his budget without sacrificing quality. Let me tell you his story.
About the company
debesto’s client: Developer company
Project: high-end residence
Location: New York, United States of America
Experience in importing windows: No
The challenge:
sourcing high-performance windows for high-end home for sale
In the U.S., it’s difficult to find high-quality products at a reasonable price.
Roland, a developer who builds luxury homes for resale on Long Island, New York, knew about the superior quality of Polish windows. That’s why he decided to start importing them from Poland.
For him, it wasn’t just about the price—it was about the exceptional quality of the windows.
Project requirements
The home was built for sale on Long Island. To make the property competitive and appealing to potential buyers, the windows and patio doors had to be of the highest quality. During our video consultation Roland shared with me that he expects:
- good communication
- high quality materials
- modern design (with big variety of glazing types, hardware, colors etc.)
At the beginning, I ordered two windows just to get the experience first. The point of entry really focused on Patrick, the salesperson, and his responsiveness.
The moment I knew we were communicating quickly and effectively, I felt assured.
The solution: high-performance aluminum systems at affordable price
My client, Roland, is a developer and investor. His main goal for this project was to build and sell a high-end property. I knew right away that enhancing the building’s value would pay off, and while cutting costs is important, we couldn’t compromise on quality.
Together with my colleague, Veronica Tyczyńska, we proposed a set of aluminum systems that offer not only high quality, thermal efficiency, and modern design, but also great value for the money.
Products chosen for the project:
- Aluprof MB-79N – tilt and turn windows, fixed windows
- Aluprof MB-77HS – lift and slide doors
- Reynaers Masterline 8 – pivot doors
Custom options:
- sunproof glass (Cool-lite technology)
- tempered glass
- soundproof glass for the doors
- safety glass for the doors: laminated from the outside and tempered from the inside
- double or triple-pane
- modern anthracite color
The results: 50% savings with windows offering 2-3x the quality of U.S. products
After a detailed consultation process—reviewing the window schedule, window by window and door by door—Roland, his architect, and I found the optimal solution. The windows have been delivered and are currently being installed in the building, which is still under construction. If you’d like to see real project photos, check out the gallery below.
Patrick and Veronica always strive to find the most cost-effective solution, but even if it’s an additional 10% or 20%, we still get exactly what we want or fantastic features.
It’s not that much more of a charge because typically we’re saving 50% compared to the cost of windows manufactured in the United States, for a product that’s two or three times the quality.

How does Roland feel about working with debesto?
The biggest help that debesto provides is serving as the bridge between the architect and the ordering of the windows, because it’s a long and detailed process. Each window and option is carefully considered to ensure it arrives as specified and doesn’t need to be reframed or reinstalled.
The technical sales team ensures the architect and client get exactly what they want, reviewing everything multiple times before producing the invoice. We literally go window by window to make sure it’s the right window with the right features.
