Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

I'm not sure about the cross overs on the line ups, but Simonton definitely does brand their stuff for HD.

If the prices are comparable, I would always recommend a lumber yard over HD. Just seems to be less prone to issues if you follow that path.

In my opinion, yes. The 800 looks nicer with the handle and there is a good bit more material it in. It is super strong and I always want to defer to the stronger product in that comparison.

Sunrise Restorations is a solidly built product.

What kind of window did they take out?

Thanks guys. Planning on staying in this house for 15-20 years. Can you make suggestions on great energy efficient windows that are triple pane will last over 20 years? Need to have wood look inside and dark brown on outside. I don’t need the most expensive windows just durable, without losing much...

Sounds great. Thank you for the follow up and for circling back.

As stated on the green board forum, I see no issue with that pricing. That is an expensive window and a really expensive set of options.

Pretty standard tilt latch. Do you know how the window manufacturer was?

If not, call these guys.

Are they doing full tear outs here? No reason that they should in my opinion.

Email that picture to these guys.

Scrap the Essentials quote.

Outside of that, the Okna, Polaris, and regular Sunrise option are all solid choices. How did the installers stack up?

Snap those exterior pics and we will see what you see. Tough to tell anything from those picture of the interior walls so far.

1. Lets get some pictures of the inside and the outside.
2. Where is the home located?
3. When are the "leaks" showing up?
4. How is the home heated and cooled?

I am not familiar with the WinTec product, but you have two of the good ones there between the two you have already looked at.

Have you looked at sample installs of the two contractors?
