Re: Replacing windows in Chicago area - Brand & Installer reviews

Re: Replacing windows in Chicago area - Brand & Installer reviews

I'm awaiting remote quotes on OKNA from two dealers. I also have a quote coming for restoration. I did get a quote on Provia from an installer I trust and I know does great work. I did see the windows in a showroom and am generally impressed. All of our windows are very tall, almost 70"-75"...

Replacing windows in Chicago area - Brand & Installer reviews

Hi All, I started getting quotes to replace all the windows on the first floor of our house. Most of them are pretty large, multi panel casement with transoms at the top. House was built early 90's and current windows are original and in rough shape. House faces south. Looking at mid to mid high end...
