Re: Searaching for Enerlux installer for NW Washington, DC

You may have a difficult time finding an outfit based on the way that you are approaching this. Anyone that is qualified to take on a 100 unit plus project is going to want to source the product themselves, and with an appropriate markup. Frankly, you should want this as well, so when something goes...

Re: Window Mart Windows

Well, they are much cheaper than a mid grade window and they are called Window Mart. Is there anything about that that inspires confidence? May as well be window barn.

Re: Am I being ripped off? Please help

26 windows for $9k is $346 per window. In my estimation, you didn't get ripped off, you got what most people get that pay a price like that thinking that they got a great deal. A crappy window, and shady tactics from a company. You can put a different sticker on a dog turd and its still a dog turd. ...

Re: Alside 8000 Series

There are exceptions to every rule, and the mexxo is the a rare exception to rule that numbers and quality go together in my opinion. If you physically compare that window to other high end models you can see and feel a distinct difference. How did they achieve a high dp number when until recently t...

Re: VinWinTech???

I'd also recommend looking at some higher end options. Vinyl windows occassionally get a bad rap, and it is because of all of the low end stuff on the market

Re: Question for casement window experts about operator arms

Agree with the others. It should not be a point of emphasis, or even much of a consideration really.

Re: Questions about vinyl replacement install

Don, I'd argue that you only got one of the 3. PRICE. It is widely known that bargain based companies like that pay their installers less than the going rate. Maybe somebody said the things that you were looking to hear, but it would not be shocking if that individual wasn't even with the company by...

Re: Recommended NJ Window Installers

Can't say that I'd group stanek in with those others. Nice performance numbers, but very bulky and with a pocket sill. They were also purchased out of BK by Great Day, so all of their products before 2013 have no warranty.

Re: Recommended NJ Window Installers

Anyone that installs Silverline will neither be expensive, nor recommended.
Not sure how anyone would come to search out that product option. Cheap as they come, bad performance ratings, and sold only at home depot. Not a winning combo

Agreed. Vinyl has stark quality extremes though, it must be a good quality product.

Re: Marvin Infinity Windows Good for Detroit Climate?

The Restorations, Okna, and a few others are much better than the Infinity for air leakage. If that is a concern of yours, be advised.
