Re: Shims
I would also check the reveals at top and bottom by raising the upper sash slightly above frame and look for straight line between the 2. Do the same by lowering the upper sash. Great time to also check out flashing details.

The 800 depending on cost. Better yet look at them both in person.

Re: Window Advice
Given your time frame and your list, I would go with Classic. It is pretty the same window as the Pro without the sash reinforcement and the Super Spacer. Frankly, any of them would work in that time frame and all probably better then what many builders use.

Re: Need expert advice for a non-glass person
Not a fan of the sprays, but they may work for you. Test it out first. This is not an area I really dabble in But have worked with films before but never again. My opinion is to swap the glass out.

Re: Need expert advice for a non-glass person
Silicone works well for glass to glass
Bonding but you may see the spot where where the silicone was compressed . You will need to to tape in place till it bonds . Hot glue would work well also and would set quick.

Re: Need expert advice for a non-glass person
If you are using a film, follow the instructions. typically I precut the pieces and use a soap/water mixture and pull the mixture out with some type of squeegee.
It goes on like window tint in most cases.

Re: Windows on a budget?
The glass warranty is only 10 years, so I’d say you are out of luck.

Re: Quotes for 5 windows seems high?
X2 on Homesealed’s advice. At this point all you can you do is get some more bids. The installation details may help clarify things when going into stucco.
