I'm in DC, and have been looking at windows for over a year. That sounds to be reasonable to me. My project is a little bigger in that I have more windows--30. But, some of your indv windows may be larger. It seems like your offer is on target, infact, I would like to get an estimate from your guy--do you mind sharing? I have talked to Andersen, HD, Sears, Pella, WeatherMaster, US Window, and others. I kinda have a feel for this now, I think!!!

Window Man,...This is not meant as critisism, but only a way for you to further help those on the board with your expertise.
As A Schuco dealer, I am of the same opinion as you are, but it may be more helpful to answer the posts with some factual reasons or experiences why you think they are better. Otherwise, you will be thought of as only trying to push a product and have no credibility.
I carry many brands, and routinely point out the good and bad in most of them, and I also recommend or don't recommend lots of windows I don't carry. What people on this site are looking for are comparisons, so they can logically figure out what they want to look at, based on facts given by experts they can trust.
I love your love of Schuco though, my bretheren! Keep it up.

Thad--I did get out of the contract. But, not for any of the reasons cited by that Schucco nut!!! I'm really starting to feel that one window is primarily just as good as the next. Perhaps some are overkill.

EJ, I hear you 100%. I am not even planning to staying in my house that long. I don't need the best. All that I want is a decent product at a fair price from a company with good customer service.
If you have any luck in finding someone, please email me and give the details. I will post a message on the board if I find someone that I am happy with. Good luck!
