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...

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

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.

I am not sure about two of your quotes. Unfortunately I would throw out the first one. Multipule red flags.

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.

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.
Let us know once your project is installed how you love them.

We use the Okna 8800, great door,
In DP .26 U
in TP argon .19 U , in krypton .16 U

Good patio doors already weigh a ton.
TP is crazy heavy. Also the air space in most PD TP gets a little narrow.

I think that W&D foam should make a difference in your choice. I is so much better on several levels.

Let me help:
In my area, Philly, for 11 high performance white vinyl insert windows supplied and installed $11,000 to $15,000.
High performance defined as a great window with AL below .02

post pictures so we can see what ya got. Your language and our thoughts do not line up with the pricing.
RBA is insanely overpriced for a low performing window.

Are you concerned with adding any security in the glass?

Based on what you have shared I would suggest a high performance vinyl unit like the Okna 800 triple pane with argon or its equal.

At this point which do you have the most confidence in?
Why?
