Replacement windows Milwaukee area

[stewsmalls]

We are shopping for replacement windows in a suburb of Milwaukee (Waukesha), and trying to nail down the right avenue to proceed. I've read here on the web about Marvin and Pella and Okna and Sunrise, which all seem to have some great reviews and some negatives. We are open to vinyl, but is it really going to last? Our old windows are 18 years old wood (I won't mention the brand but it rhymes with flemco), so I'm not excited about going with wood again. What is more expensive, wood or vinyl? Better performance?

First...if you are in Milwaukee...you are in luck. Not because you have a terrible football team though.

Seriously, HomeSealed (a regular poster), is here on the forum and without question, you best resource in Milwaukee.

That all being said, good looking vinyl is tough to beat in terms of value, performance, etc. They have come a long way in their options, quality, and finished look. Performance numbers are supreme and vinyl usually crushes all comers.

You have to like the look of it though so look at the window critically and make sure it is something that you are going to be happy staring at for the next 20 years.
