Re: Pella Windows Estimate
That was my guess. Model type would be good.
The short answer is that folks don't like Pella's vinyl and usually for good reason.

Re: Pella Windows Estimate
Thanks again for your response.
These are Vinyl windows.
Do you have any specific recommendation? also any reference to Austin based windows replacement company.

Re: Pella Windows Estimate
Texas market is a bit tougher as some of the regularly recommended windows are available down there.
I will wait for Randy to post as he knows the Texas market extremely well.

Re: Pella Windows Estimate
Sunrise is available in the Austin area, and would be worth a look. You might also contact NT Windows out of Ft. Worth and get a dealer or two from them. There really aren’t any great vinyl windows available in central Texas right now, unfortunately.
Don Young’s thermally-broken aluminum windows would also be worth considering.

Not familiar with Don Young, but I am a fan of aluminum windows in the hotter heating zones.
