Re: Which Window Is Better?
I have tried purchasing Soft-Lite and Sunrise without success. They will only sell me the windows if I have one of their installers complete the job. I already have some Soft-Lite Imperial’s which were installed 7 years ago. I love those windows and trust them so much that I would purchase 20 more o...

Re: Which Window Is Better?
If not Harvey or Pella, what would be a better window that is available at a local supply house? Thank you.

Re: Which Window Is Better?
I have one simple question. Which is a better window? Harvey Tribute or Pella 350? I don't need any "hell yeahs"! You can insult my contractor all you want. Just because he isn't part of Soft-Lite or Okna cabal, I guess he should become a tree trimmer. I realize they are not top shelf wind...

Re: Which Window Is Better?
Thank you all for your input. My contractor tried to get the Soft-Lites without success. It's too bad because I am trying to finish my house off to match my existing Soft-Lites that I replaced several years ago. I'm done with them. I think I may just go with the Harvey Tributes. I will be retiring i...

Re: Which Window Is Better?
My contractor is not a “jack of all trades” who works out of his garage. He has been in business for over 20 years, rated A+ by the BBB, has 100’s of positive reviews on Angie’s List, Home Advisor, Yelp, and on his own personal website. He has a Construction Supervisor’s License, and over 4 million ...

Re: Which Window Is Better?
Thanks for the info. I am leaning towards Harvey Tributes. I would prefer the Soft-Lites or Okna’s, which my contractor cannot get. I refuse to be extorted into having to use one of their contractors. I want my trusted contractor to do the installation. His workmanship and prices cannot be beat. For...

Which Window Is Better?
I am replacing about 20 wood double hung windows with vinyl. I have a trusted contractor who has done a lot of work for me. I tried going the Soft-Lite, Okna route without success. My contractor is not allowed to purchase those windows because he is not an "official" rep. I am trying to de...

Re: One more Question on Soft Lites
I just took measurements on my existing windows. It looks like I am going to lose about 1 1/2+" on each side. That's quite a bit. About a total of 3". I do have some smaller windows that are being done also. Hopefully it won't be too much of a change. When the contractor told me it would o...

One more Question on Soft Lites
I am replacing my old Caradco wood windows with Soft Lite Imperial LS vinyl windows. I am going with the replacements over new construction. How much window space can I expect to lose? The contractor told me about an inch of each side, top and bottom. The windows I have now are roughly 30"X50&q...

My FINAL Soft Lite window question!
After meeting with the contractor yesterday, he determined that I didn't need to go the new construction window route. By changing to a Soft Lite Imperial LS replacement window, he was able to lower my per window price from $1250 to $820. This price includes 9/9 grids inside the window. Basic white ...

Re: Price for New Construction Soft Lite Imperial LS?
Done. I am meeting with the contractor tomorrow. Maybe I can knock him down a little on the price. He doesn't seem to want to budge. I will have to bite the bullet and pay a little more, but I think I will be happy in the end. Thanks to everybody for their input. It has been invaluable. It sounds li...

Re: Price for New Construction Soft Lite Imperial LS?
The company has very good reviews and references. They are also a James Hardie Preferred Contractor which is important for the siding aspect of the job. Their siding price was almost identical to my other bids. About $1000 a square. As far as the windows go, the interior trim that they are replacing...

Re: Price for New Construction Soft Lite Imperial LS?
So $1250 a window is a fair price?

Re: Price for New Construction Soft Lite Imperial LS?
The grids are between the glass, and yes, white exterior. Also included in their quote is 13 square of Hardie siding at $1000 a square.

Price for New Construction Soft Lite Imperial LS?
After much searching, I have decided to go with the Soft Lite Imperial LS New Construction Windows. They are all double hung, roughly 30"x50". 12/12 grids inside the windows. Woodgrain finish on the inside. The price I received was $1250 a window which seems like a lot. But it does include...
