Re: competent window installer in vabeach
We normally charge about $10 more for Ultra-U+12 over the price of the Ultra-U+Plus.

Re: Replacement Windows
I am new to this industry but I have heard that Schuco are also leading manufacturers of vinyl windows. Anyone have any experience of Schuco ?? Schuco went out of the window business several years ago after leaving a trail of very unhappy homeowners and dealers. Some of the better windows out there...

Re: Replacing casement windows in Illinois (project thread)
How do the prices look to everyone? I've talked with some friends who have done window/door projects recently that say there is quite a bit of overhead and wiggle room on the price. I dont want to impede on the quality of the work, but at the same time- I dont want to overpay by thousands if all I ...

Re: Advice needed: Hullco(Sunrise Verde) vs Champion vs who??.
To ensure you are getting the best value for your money, I would recommend you get several estimates for any window you are considering. I would also recommend you ask questions about the installation. I would never assume that the only differences between different products was strictly based on th...

Re: Advice needed: Hullco(Sunrise Verde) vs Champion vs who??.
EcoStar: Just reading it seems like compared to the Okna the Okna was a better window. I didn't see many comparisons to the Verde other than Okna. So maybe it was just because the Verde(sunrise top of the line) is often competing with a Okna 500. I'm very happy to hear the Verde is a good window, w...

Re: Advice needed: Hullco(Sunrise Verde) vs Champion vs who??.
I don't know where you read that the Sunrise Verde is just OK. It is one of the top performing windows available and certainly is every bit as good a window as the Okna 500 and the Softlite L/S. Many would say it a better window aesthetically.

I thought we were talking about a Simonton Vinyl Window.

Re: Replacing casement windows in Illinois (project thread)
You are comparing double pane with argon on the Sunrise to triple pane with krypton on the Softlite. That's why you are seeing a big difference in performance. Ask the Sunrise Dealer to quote you on the ultra-U-Plus 10 for a comparable efficiency. All of the windows you are looking at will serve you...

Re: Norandex windows TX - Simonton Prism vs View Point 3000
I'm very suspicious of this problem with Simonton and Norandex. There have been times in the past when competitors have come on here and made up problems in order to smear different manufacturers. I have asked the poster which Norandex Office he is dealing with and the persons name he's dealing with...

Re: Replacement Windows
Andersen vinyl windows are among the lower end. I would not give them very serious consideration. The Andersen 400 wood clad are decent. If you decide on vinyl, there should be quite a few brands available to you in Chicago that most of the Pro's on here agree we like such as Sunrise, Okna, Softlite...

Re: Norandex windows TX - Simonton Prism vs View Point 3000
Which Norandex location are you dealing with and what is the Norandex Reps name? Which Prism model did you have installed?

Re: Atlantic Windows - Dunedin Florida
Why not get several competitive quotes and then compare the windows and the installing company's veracity?

Re: Berkshire Replacement Windows
Yes, call another Sunrise Dealer. Hopefully this one will not be as deceitful. I would also call Sunrise and tell them who the dealer is so they can deal with him legally, if they choose. It's very possible Sunrise will not sell to him anymore due to poor quality installs so I would avoid having any...

Re: I need help with Simonton 6500 vs 6100
This topic has been beat to death. I would suggest doing a site search or a Google search as the reasons are voluminious.
