The siding is the most important aspect of this replacement, but the installer has recommended the windows first. With a budget much lower than $54k, she is seeking advice. Is this a fair quote?

When both options are excellent, making the choice can be difficult. Do our pros think Sunrise Vanguard or Restoration windows are the better option?
