Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

Size is relative. Bigger isn't always better look at Pella.

I agree, talk to the dealer. He will comunicate with Soft-lite.
Besides that how do you like the new windows?

I like a customer taht takes their time and gets it right.
It helps me know that we are the right match.
If you do not like the high pressure sales tell them to tone it down or get out the door.

I do not think we should worry.
But it would be nice to have some sort of due diligence for our customers sake.

EZee,
You should consider getting a quote from WOW.
They have lots of product lines, and lots of expereince.
