Re: Nashville TN- Windows

RRP is not lead abatement. It is lead safe wok and protocols required by the EPA. We all hate it.
My partner just changed ours to $150 per window.

Good choice.

Re: Nashville TN- Windows

This is a personal comment. I would use the Okna 600/6600DX.
Sounds like I should open a division in Nashville.

Re: NJ Windows - and can’t break the bank

Are you going to install them yourself?

If you want a great product and a great install I suggest you contact DEMike he handles SNJ.

Re: Aluminum capping over a vynal window.

Two other methods. They ain't going to do them cause there quality is to low. They could make that two radius ribbons and laminate over what is there. You can use composite trim: A. prebent to the radius and width. B. do it with polyurethane flex molding. Almost anything would look better if done wi...

Re: Pella Lifestyle Quote

A Pella Pro dealer may be able to offer a much better price.
It is a different distribution channel and independent installer.

Re: AI on Window Nation's Addison?

looks like it it could be a special series just for wn. I can not find anything about it on mi website. As you suspect that normally means they are embarrassed by the structural test results. Why would you use wn? Do you like false and misleading advertising? They only use subs, and not the best one...

Re: basement window replacement

There maybe confusion as to what you and he are talking about. There is an aluminum frame inside the steel frame. Is he saying to remove the steel frame? That can be done but is is tough as DEMike shared. I haven't had a CC payment in a year, we incentivize our client to pay by check or cash. Why wo...

Re: basement window replacement

Remove the aluminum frame, leave the steel frame. Either paint the steel exterior or cap it with aluminum.

Re: Is there room for negotiation with replacement windows?

Yes, you can negotiate a price.
You can also change the spec on the job to lower the cost.
If you want something, a lower price or something else repaired, what do you have to offer to make that up. Some real cash, make a promotional video, or something else of value to the install company.

Re: Question for Delaware Mike

I have known Mike for years. He is the only other mechanic/installer in this region besides my own men who I would choose to work on my house.
His workmanship can not be matched. His value can not be touched.
You can reach him directly.

Re: Okna Starmark vs Andersen 100/400 vs Marvin Essentials vs Interstate 9800

Good day, You have four quotes on fairly different products. I am very familar with three. Interstate not so much. The AW quote is very vague as to product 100/400. There is major difference even in the 400 series. I would not suggest 400TW ( this is what lots of companies start with), the 400WDH wo...

The 800DX by Okna is the winner for several reasons.
