Does this quote seem sane?

#1 Post by Pointedstick »

I got a quote for replacement windows from a local business (http://www.glass-rite.com/window-replac ... l-windows/). My house has a bunch of different sized windows so the prices per window vary. But the installed price they're offering me for a 3x3 slider is $451. A 5x3 slider is $531. A 3x3 casement is $531. An 8 x 4 XOX sliding picture window is $790.

Do those seem like reasonable prices? I have seen the windows in person and was impressed. They appear to have been specifically designed to reduce air infiltration.

What type of window is coming out, how are they replacing it (application), other details on the windows.

1995-era awful double pane aluminum windows are coming out. I'm redoing the stucco at the same time, so they are going to do a flush install with no exterior trim/fin thing. The windows are 7/8" double pane units, have no grids, and are treated with SolarBan 60 or 70 (depending on orientation) and have double metal cam locks.

Here are the NFRC window specs:

Solarban 60 windows: U-0.27 SHGC-0.31 VT-0.55 Air infiltration 0.03
SolarBan 70 windows: U-0.26 SHGC-0.22 VT-0.49 Air infiltration 0.03

+1

That is an expensive install type but them not having to do the repairs would definitely drive the price down.
