Re: Austin, TX ...Replacing 24 Alenco Aluminum windows

Hello txdriver.
I used Energywise Windows and Doors of Austin.
I do not know if they will service your area.

If you decide to use Don Young product call them.
I found the Dallas and San Antonio offices very helpful.
They rec'd Energywise to me.
You can get the Don Young contact info on their website.

Re: Austin, TX ...Replacing 24 Alenco Aluminum windows

I am landing on Aluminum. Don Young or Milgard Thermal Breaks. The low profile of Restorations is close but who knows when the eyebrows will be available? More important, I want Single Hungs and Restorations doesn't put Fibrecore in those. I've eliminated the Milgard Ultra as well. Weird window eyeb...
