Price to upgrade to CimaTech elite

#1 Post by Justneedwindows »

Thanks to those to responded to my previous question.

Just to refresh I am getting 14 DH alside Excalibur windows installed in my home.

I talked to my installer. He said that the price to upgrade from "standard" Low e glass and argon gas filled windows to the ClimaTech elite glass package was $50. Does this sounds right?

Thanks agan,

Amanda

Per window or for the 14 total?

No, not really. The option price is not nearly that expensive.

What was he charging you for that window in its previous format?

$200 per window before the upgrade and he was quoting $250 after. I talked to him today and he agreed to $230 per window. Gosh... I hope I didn't get taken for a fool

$230 a window installed is pretty cheap. Make sure to check his reference (call them!) and look at his past installs. Is he capping the outside casings?

:oops: I guess I have to live with the fact that he pulled one over on me. He does have a good reputation in the area.

However, what does Is he capping the outside casings? mean exactly. I will ask, but I would like to act like I know what I am talking about when I ask.

Also, you have a better idea of what I should be paying for the ClimaTech elite I woule LOVE to know that as well.

Thanks

Capping is bending a maintance free cover and applying it to the exterior wood frame, it is usually done with smooth painted aluminum trim coil.
