Re: Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?

Why do you think okna is overrated? They have nothing to do with the install or the installation company. Is there a chance you misunderstood the scope of the work from the installers? What window ( series ) did you go with ? I don't think it's specific to Okna, I think perhaps it's an industry iss...

Re: Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?

I had this window job done back in October and it was absolutely an abomination. The installers did the entire job, removal and installation of 27 windows in 2 days. They stayed late the 2nd day and it was dark and I was very tired, and I mistakenly assumed everything was done correctly, so I handed...

Re: Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?

Ahh, gotcha. Now I understand. The last quote I received from August 2019 does indeed say 7500 series. The pricing apples to apples with my current quote would have been about $5k cheaper than I am paying for himarks with my current quote. With price increases since then, it may very well be more in...

Re: Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?

What keeps bugging me is this statement: second only to the Starmark composite. Why is Himark with its series numbered as 1000 second to the Starmark with its series numbered as 900? I have to admit it's giving me a bit of buyers remorse especially since I could have gotten the Starmark for much che...

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

Original quote was with the paintable interiors, then I got a revised quote from them in August 2019 after the paintable interiors were done away with on the newer window with Victorian SDL's, etc. It was slightly more but not by much. Happy to forward the quotes over to you if you'd like to see the...

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

OK thanks! That's the info I was looking for. I only had 3 days from the time I was given the quote to cancel, and I did not cancel in that timeframe, so I'm locked in now. I would have liked to have taken some more time to do more research, but they were only able to guarantee me that pricing by pu...

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

Had I known TheWindowNerd serviced my area I would have had him up to give me a quote but it just doesn't feel right jumping ship at this point as I feel the pricing error was an honest mistake and I have a good rapport with my salesman. That said, I did just send him a message through his website a...

Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?

Perhaps this is best left as it's own topic, especially as I'm in need of an answer ASAP so I can decide whether or not to move on a signed quote. (They were expecting my answer by tonight). What is the difference between the Himark 1000 series and the 800dx? I can't find any information from my sea...

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

So I see from the website links you posted above that the 800dx has 45 degree welds and the himark 1000 series has straight welds. The window must definitely be the himark 1000 series. So is this a better window than the 800dx? Maybe I will just stick with it and give them the extra money they are a...

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

The sashes from what I remember did not have 45 degree welds. He also had a 600 series model example, which had the 45 degree welds. This one had horizontal welds, which I believe he said was to make it look more wood like with the colored finishes. It also did not have that little metal handle thin...

Re: Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

Since I signed and gave a deposit yesterday, is it possible that I got the current pricing, and not the price increase set to start tomorrow? That would put his quote in line with yours. That's unfortunate to hear about the price increase but comforting that it doesn't sound like I'm being ripped of...

Unfortunately I don't think The Window Nerd comes up to Monroe county (Stroudsburg area).

Advice on quote for Himark 800DX in NEPA

Hello, I had [company name redacted] from Allentown, PA visit my house yesterday to give me a quote on 23 window replacements. They call the 800DX the 1000 series but it's the same window. 18 of them are white interior/white exterior. 5 of them would be with the dark oak interior w/ bronze hardware/...
