Have quotes for a remodeling job using Sprouse or Weather Shield windows?

Any recommendations?

I’d recommend finding another window. Never heard of Sprouse and WeatherShield doesn’t enjoy a good reputation in the industry. If you want wood windows, look at Marvin, Kolbe, or Andersen’s E series.

If you like vinyl, Soft-lite, Okna, Sunrise are good choices.

I will echo what Randy just said. Weathershield doesn't rank up there with the top end wood windows that are available in the market.

Marvin and Kolbe and Kolbe are pretty well regarded when it comes to the wood offerings marketplace.

Integrity by Marvin Wood Ultrex, and the Marvin Next Generation windows are good.
Also the Andersen A series, E series or Woodwright.

I have seen some of the E Series of late and they are a good looking window as well. +1.
