My experience was Home Depot quoted me $6500 for (low end Simonton windows) then when I asked them to change the grid pattern and upgrade me to SuperSpacers instead of the standard Intercept spacer, they needed to write a new contract for +$$ so the job would be around $7500 + . I contacted the loca...

Alacoyote, We're going to miss you bud ! I enjoyed your many posts, and you helped me a lot in making my own decisions out here on the left coast. I am having new Simonton's installed Monday by a nearby dealer and have totally given up on Home Depot for anything more than buying cement or bricks fro...

5500 / 6500
The lower model numbers in the Simonton product line are sold through Home Depot stores. These are produced by Simonton just for H.D to sell and my experience has been that you can save money by having the windows installed by a Simonton dealer (Reflection product line) instead of trying to upgrade ...

Ken, I am replacing picture windows as well, but the frames are wood. They will come out leaving just the house framing intact. The new windows will fit the hole, caulking will be applied to all exterior surfaces of the the IG unit going in, some sort of trim wood will face a portion of the ege of t...

Yes, this is the reverse of what is normally done - center section is stationary and the ends slide in toward the middle. In your case the middle will need to be divided into a slider so that when it is open, it slides left and right over the fixed picture window portion. Most manufacturers can make...

Guy, This capping has my interest. I have fluted wood molding around the exterior of each window, plus a wood sill. The dining room window is 12 ft wide which will be broken into 3 sections of picture windows. On each end of that is another 36 x 47 picture window at a 90 degree angle, so from the to...

Bill, The 48 hour response I suspect is the time Home Depot has to come out determine what to order and get the order in to Simonton. I might be able to get some information on that from the HM foreman when he shows up this week. However, I am concerned about something else you mentioned. I was spec...

One of the biggest requirements to acheiving success is learning to caulk really well. A great looking job can be ruined in a matter of seconds with a caulk gun in the hands of an unskilled installer with a caulk gun. Could you explain that a little more? Other than squeeze out in the front of the ...

Guy - I feel a bit more re-assured from your comments about good installers that don't necessarily have the school ticket / diploma hanging off the rear view mirror in the truck. I also appreciate your comments on low expansion foam and fiberglas losing its R value when all wadded up. I am certainly...
