Re: Polaris Thermaweld Plus install

Yes in contact with both. The business owner has said to write down everything and send him a list of what is wrong and he will take care of it. I contact him daily though since some of these issues seem more major than minor. This thread has become more of a documentation for others as to things to...

Re: Polaris Thermaweld Plus install

I’m going to keep documenting everything since this is just a nightmare. So today the installers caulk gun broke. So hopefully the siding companies still make my siding color. They caulked over the weep holes on one window. Some windows appear to be sloped wrong and rain is pooling against the windo...

Re: Polaris Thermaweld Plus install

That’s what I was worried about. Despite the good feedback and conversations, I feel like we made a bad choice. Wasn’t the cheapest option, thought I did decent enough research, sometimes you catch a bad break. :-/

Re: Polaris Thermaweld Plus install

Full replacement would be correct. The window measured 69.5 top to bottom and the inside was 70 to 70.5, so the measurements seem right. Surprised the outside looked as large as it did. I saw the blue markings and not sure how it got there but these windows have had some serious quality control issu...

Re: Polaris Thermaweld Plus install

Couple more windows went in and oh boy. My main question is, is this acceptable spacing for a replacement window. If you need me to measure other things I can.

Polaris Thermaweld Plus install

So finally getting our new windows installed and feel disappointed. Regretting not going with Okna. I got home today to see the first two installed windows and the included pictures was what I saw.

Re: Window Quotes all over the place

Same area but different companies now. I completely understand that costs are going to be costs, but 14k quote and a 35k quote for the same exact window And brand is hard to reconcile. The 14k quote falls perfectly in line with the pricing from the first job. Once I get quotes from some different br...

Re: Window Quotes all over the place

I understand that square footage isn't a real measurement tool, but when the old cost and one of the new quotes match then mathematically it is an acceptable comparison. I laid out exactly what I was getting quoted for. We can disregard openings it would be 10 double hungs(5 twins), 5 sliders, 3 pic...

Window Quotes all over the place

I am in the process of getting quotes for replacement windows and the first two have not been close whatsoever. I don't know if something was miscommunicated, but the high one just seems so way off. I have 13 window openings and a patio door. 5 of the window openings I would like twin double hungs (...
