Re: Need advice for Wood Laminate Replacements

If you haven't reached out to WoW through the email he provided, I'd highly recommend that you do. You won't find anyone more knowledgeable of products and installation methods.

Re: Window installed out of square

I would add: It acts as a firm backer rod to support the caulking. The WindowNerd’s point about air sealing is the critical one. Fiberglass insulation does nothing to prevent air leakage around the window since air will move right through it - which is why it is used in the cheaper HVAC return air f...

Re: Replacement window options - Austin, TX

NT Presidential from the contractor you have the most confidence in. Vistamark is a no-go for me. Soft-lite makes some good windows, but the local vendor isn’t one that I would recommend. There is a local statewide company that offers them as well (unless it’s changed recently) but they charge an ar...

Re: Philly Daycare with 43 Double Hung Windows

I agree with the others. Hire a professional to eliminate issues down the road, and you can’t do better than the Window Nerd for integrity, customer service and products that perform.

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

While I don’t care for the large price drop, the final pricing is extremely reasonable. The subcontractor relationship shouldn’t be an issue at all, IMO. In my area, the best installers are all subcontractors and captive installers are generally second tier. If The Window Nerd serves your area, you ...

Re: Whole house replacement

Hey Wayne, I’m blessed beyond measure brother. Hope you’re doing well.

We prefer OSI Quad Max or Novaflex. I’ve been buying the SDI by the pallet lately to ensure we have it when we need it.

Re: Whole house replacement

The guys are right, of course. Properly measured and manufactured windows will allow for foam application, which is superior to fiberglass in every way.

Re: Window Nation Grandview v. Provia Endure v. Fort

Windows on Washington offers the premier vinyl window for you area, and their installation system ensures your new windows perform to their maximum potential. Before you settle for one of the two you’re considering now, I’d get a consultation from WoW and then make a decision. He’s one of the pros h...

Re: Replacement Windows in Austin TX

I don’t know any contractors in Austin that I can recommend. Sorry. The price disparity can often be explained by cost of overhead. If you like the contractor with the highest price, why not call them and go over the numbers - asking if they would be willing to negotiate a little? See if you can com...

Re: Replacement Windows in Austin TX

Thanks. Your current windows most likely have a jamb depth of around 2”. The new DY aluminum windows will have a jamb depth of 2 ¾”, so I don’t think the shutters will be a problem at all. They won’t need to be removed, since you can swing them in out of the way. Is there something I’m missing in th...

Re: Replacement Windows in Austin TX

Sorry if you’ve already answered these questions.

1. What is the exterior cladding material on your home - brick, rock, siding, stucco?

2. Do you currently have single pane aluminum windows?

Re: Windows for Atlanta area home

It is crazy to be booking out 24 weeks, but that’s where we are as well. Quality sealants are going to be the next thing in short supply from what I’m hearing. Start stocking up.
