The Vanguard quote sounds about normal and the Essentials sounds low. Same contractor? If you have every handled or unloaded an Essentials off of a truck vs. a Vanguard, you will feel $200 per unit difference. Yes, from the same contractor.

Alside Proline 2200 vs Sunrise Essentials

Hello, I got two quotes for Alside Proline 2200 and Sunrise Essentials for replacement windows. I couldn't find the model called Proline 2200 from the Alside website, but that's what an installer is selling. "Essentials" is the very basic model of Sunrise, and I see that it is not favorabl...
