Replacement Window Installation methods?

I am told they use the pull in method (where possible). Is this good? What other methods are used?

Though I made my decision on the Energex, why do you say Vinwinco is not a good window?

Re: Energex vs. Vinwinco - help

Re: Capping Question

I am thinking a customer provided pizza lunch and maybe some side cash will get it done. :)

Re: Capping Question

Thanks. I will make sure I tell them how I want it done. A relative of mine recently had Window World replace the windows all I can see when I look at them, are these big semi white nails on the face of the window. :shock:

Capping Question

If you get aluminum capping over your wood windows, are you supposed to be able to see the nails? I know some are painted white. Is there way to do the capping w/o seeing the nails?

Thanks!
