After I set the appointment, I did some research on this forum on Sunrise and now think their Restoration window might be the way to go. When the dealer arrived today, I started our walk thru with the thought to him that I was leaning towards the Sunrise Restoration and he replied that was just a marketing gimmick with the different titles and his windows were Sunrise. But when I mentioned if they had the fiberglass inserts, he said no. I am thinking after seeing how Sunrise operates with their dealers on this forum, he can only sell the basic Sunrise. First question, how much better is the Restoration and can I turn a basic into a better window with options? I have left a message with Sunrise to see if they can connect me to a central Ohio dealer that reps the Restoration line to get another quote.
Which leads me into my second question. As mentioned, we really like the multiple divided-lites on our old windows and Sunrise seems to have a good solution with their Simulated Divided Lites option, but I was shocked when the dealer said Sunrise charges $25 per lite. That is $400 per window before you even factor in the cost of the window. Is that what others have found? If so, I guess I will be pulling out the old extension ladder and paint brush
