Re: ProVia Endure whole house replacement

The price seems in range. The Pro-Via is better than most , but there are better ones.

Re: Feedback - Softlite vs Okna quotes

A full frame job with nail fins is superior hands down. iIf you casing that can be removed to access nail fin it is the way to go . When you have siding butting up to the the window and you have to unzip the trim then things get more complicated. Ideally those providing bids walked through the proce...

Re: Feedback - Softlite vs Okna quotes

I would say the price is closer than that due to the install methods. The 500 is better and the method is better.

Re: IWC or Milgard aluminum

The aluminum frame and sashes can be part of the problem also. It would not be uncommon for that window to form condensation when a vinyl window would not.

Re: Aluminum capping over a vynal window.

They butchered the aluminum work and followed up with a horrendous caulking job. Have not seen it done like that before.

Re: Help with Manufacturer

That is not the sticker you want, they are typically white or pink.
Location is in the head of the frame , sides of the sashes or Mia.
Pictures may help to physically identify it.

Re: AI on Window Nation's Addison?

That price is solid for sure. The product is always recommended here. You’re moving in the correct direction, the price is solid as mentioned . You can get more quotes but you got a good one on a great product.

Re: Norandex 3000 v Wincore 5400 v Midway EnviroSealed

The Norandex 3000 is an Atrium window that is also under the Ply-Gem family that is owned by a private equity firm. It is an entry level window and the lowest quality window in the Norandex line. I agree with Homesealed, Todd out all 3 and look for a better product.

Re: Is there room for negotiation with replacement windows?

It is hard to compare the two prices with out having the full details , the 50k price could be a better deal.
Negotiations will depend on the dealer and you.

Re: OKNA 800 ENVIRO STAR VS SUNRISE RESTORATION

You’d have to be really in love with Sunrise to take it over the Okna at that price. Homesealed is a top notch and that 4.9 rating is no accident . The contingency is BS and not a good way to conduct business IMO. Okna is leader in performance numbers and Homesealed has a history more than the 16 ye...

No sales pressure and a salesperson that can walk you through the install process is a great sales tactic IMO.

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door

Homesealed Has got it right . Triple pane is a no brainer at the same cost and you are in area that can still reap the benefits of it.

Re: Request pro advice on sliding patio door

It would be silly not to do triple pane on the largest pieces of glass when you are doing it on the windows, the door will operate nicely. The visual transmittance can be subjective since some people can really pick up on it. A difference of 10% is not that noticeable. Ask the for the VT numbers on ...

You are basically asking how to get ripped off fairly. It’s gotta be an honest sale persons dream to come in after A Renewal sales person.
