Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

Curious to see what renewal by andersen would quote a job like that. Wonder if they would want all hunters in the household to be present during their 3 hour presentation while they use a heat lamp on their new “ wilderness glass”.

That one contractor probably would of been 0-5 on his prognostications had he not stopped talking.
Agree with the guy above regarding well engineered vinyl and the Soft Lite window.
What was the cost for the soft lite option?

Prices for windows and doors have gone up dramatically since 2021 as well as the cost of labor. Workers( installers) also have bills to pay and as their costs of living went up they demanded wage increases. Throw in the scarcity of those willing to work now a days and guess what? Wages increase even...

The fact that Lowes offered Dakota leads me to believe that Dakota decided to enter the screen window for submarine business.

As an fyi, Okna is a much better window than pella.

The majority of window installations are replacement and if done correctly, there is no need to worry about any leaks. Conversely, If a new construction install is not done correctly, air leakage and water will be a problem. That being said, I defer back to homesealed, unless there is a specific rea...

You were quoted for grids between the glass on both top and bottom sash?
Both quotes include the grids?
New construction adds a substantial amount over replacement.

The Okna is more because they quoted you new construction. Had Zen quoted you for new construction, I am quite certain the soft lite would of been more.
Were there any grids with either quote?

Usually windows then siding.
Vanguard and soft lite are your best choices.

Both are nice but the Okna 800 is stronger and will get the nod in performance/ efficiency.
Have you contacted HomeSealed? Great company and the owner is a great guy.

There are occasions where a “price is only good for today” has some validity. Example, a company has gone outside their normal coverage area in order to accommodate a homeowner. There are other reasons as well. Of course you also have some bs reasons.

They may take 20k off the price if you let them put a sign on your lawn which makes total sense because putting a sign on someone’s lawn is worth 20k.

Choosing the “ price in the middle” is akin to throwing a dart aimlessly at a board. What would prevent a low end company with below average installers and a very low end product from pricing their windows in the middle just to create the illusion of good value? Does that mean all window’s priced in...

Provia make a nice door but im not a big fan of their windows. I would definitely reach out to Homesealed . They use an excellent product and the owner is a real nice guy.

Agree.
