Re: 4 Quotes - Okna, Sunrise, Andersen- Cheaper alternatives?

I had the Okna 600 double hung windows installed this past Spring and couldn't be happier. The window is solid and all the components operate very smoothly!

Re: Aluminum capping over a vynal window.

Thanks for all your replies to my question. I wasn't sure what the capping process was but now i know it was done correctly but could of been done better. I did use the lowest bidder for my window project (they also were the only distributor of Okna windows in my area) so I guess the low price came ...

Aluminum capping over a vynal window.

I recently had an Okna 600 half round window and two Double hung windows installed. I was happy with everything except the way the half round window capping was done. I think the capping looks horrendous but the installer said that this is the way its done using slices and cuts to form the aluminum ...

Re: Estimated Replacement Cost for Andersen Renewal Window, 2023?

I called renewal By Anderson to replace 3 windows (2 casement with a half moon topper) and they started out at $18,000 but if I signed today and with his managers approval he could go down to $13.500. Next day Window Depot quoted me $2,400 for the Okna 600 premium vynal window. After several other c...

Re: Okna window price quote to low?

Well...the other two numbers are certainly more in line with the normal. Not sure what Window Depot this is or how they run their set up. Have you checked the salesperson's math? Wouldn't be the first time one of the guys in the field got the math wrong. I did go back to the showroom to look at the...

Re: Pricing by zip code?

Thanks...I never heard of Okna windows until I started seeing them reccomended on this site. I called the factory and they referred me to the dealer I'm working with. One concern is that this dealer only offeres the 600 series window and not the 800 series window which is considered Okna's premium v...

Pricing by zip code?

Any truth to pricing by zip code? Will a quote for window XYZ cost more in a community with homes costs averaging 1m Vs homes in a community averaging 300k? I was told this by a friend in the contracting business. I was given a quote for Okna 600 windows that was about 1/3 to half of orher company's...

Ideal window Vs. Tri-state window

Any thoughts on the following windows...Tri-state 4100 double hung window or Ideal Ultra Tite double hung window?

For 3 windows (2 double hung with 1 half moon topper) one company quoted $5,700 for the Ideal windows and another $4,300 for the Tri-state windows.

Can a vynal window be as good as a composite window?

Thanks for your website, I've gained a lot of good info here. I've gotten quotes to replace a 28 year old Anderson two single double hung windows and a half moon top third window. I got 4 estimates to replace with Anderson composite windows and also with vynal windows. The quotes for the Andersons a...
