Re: Screen removal on older Gapco Chung unit

Ahh, the old Gapco Chung window. The predecessor to the Gapco Wang. I prefer the former.

Got any pics to advise on the screen design?

Re: Joyce Trinity vs Sunrise Vanguard V3000 vs Softlite Imperial Elite triple pane

Its a franchise. Almost none of them are run by people who know the industry and their business practices are a gimmick. They are typically "entrepreneurs" that bought a window franchise because it has higher profit margins than papa johns or zippy discount dry cleaning. They are generally...

Re: Joyce Trinity vs Sunrise Vanguard V3000 vs Softlite Imperial Elite triple pane

Find another Softlite dealer. Someone in your area probably offers the Elements, and there could be another Elite dealer as well. I would NEVER recommend going with a fake window company like Zen.

Re: OKNA 800 ENVIRO STAR VS SUNRISE RESTORATION

I don't understand how this is a question? What am I missing here? If you are outside of Milwaukee, you must be dealing with Homesealed, they aren't a small company and they come highly recommended. I've seen them on top 500 lists for years. Better window, better reputation, and a huge discount, dec...

Re: replacement casement window options?

Its a nice window. Finding the lowest price doesn't typically end the best, but Restorations windows are usually reserved for solid companies, so you should hopefully be ok. The real question is when are you going to make a decision? You mentioned not being around for long enough to see the end of t...

Re: replacement casement window options?

Looks to me like you have some nice choices on the table, heading to a homeshow will just leave you more confused or subject to be conned into a bad choice. Just my two cents

Re: Okna 600 vs. Provia Aspect

Open and shut for the Okna on this one. Not only is the product better, but DE Mike raises some great points about the guys selling the provia. Its the hottest product for the "chuck in a truck" crowd in my area too, really makes it a crapshoot. Many of the better products limit availabilt...

Re: First home - getting more and more confused

Keep looking. Zen is a gimmick that won't be around much longer imo, and you are right to question that price. Cheap price typcially = cheap product + cheap labor, neither of which meet your goal of a good experience with this purchase, especiually if staying in your home for a while. The other guys...

Re: Okna vs Soft-Lite vs ProVia

Welp, the first link is a fake info site made by a lead generation service. Some dated info, and some "click bait" to entice you to give them your info. I assume that you haven't done that otherwise you'd be complaining about getting 20 phone calls a day from the handful of companies that ...
