Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

What type of installation was proposed and what, if any, options are there in the windows?

+1 to the trend line you are on. For the super energy focused, rigid foam is nice, but does come with it...some additional details and difficulties. Totally doable if the siding installer has done it before and understands where all the problem areas and hiccups are. While it does help, quite a bit,...

Only guy/shop that I recommend in NJ are the folks over at AGM Windows and Siding.

Can't add anything to the technical assessment that HomeSealed laid out. It's spot on.

I would also recommend that you give Paul at AGM a ring too. Solid guy who runs a great shop there. Can't go wrong with those folks.

The manufacturer should be able to easily provide you with the air infiltration data. That will be the same for the specific operators regardless of glass package. Obviously the air leakage number on the picture window is not of a concern. Sliders and Double Hungs (of the commonly used operators) wi...

Total slam dunk. If you can use HomeSealed, do. There isn't a better shop in Wisconsin. Hands down.

0.28 to 0.32 is my guess for Double Pane.

If memory serves me correctly, their U-Factors were right around the 0.30 number in dual pane.

What are the windows? Double or triple?

+1 to the previous comments on both ends.

Can we get some more insight to the project specifications?

Based on your recommendation, I will contact WoW and will let you know what I decide. Once again, I do appreciate your feedback. Letspring...be sure to reach out to me if you call the office. When it comes to the integrating foam with the window projects, I (Eric) am the better one to speak to at t...

What kind of window are they removing? Vinyl, Wood, metal?

Any other work scope details you can share?

You have a pretty wide assortment of materials and options. What did you actually like in terms of company and product?

I wouldn't want someone doing the capping that doesn't have the equipment (i.e. the regular experience) for doing it.

That $3,500 number is installed? How is that possible? What does the workscope look like?

What is VWD?

How many windows are you talking about in this first batch.

While it could be the deal of a lifetime, I have also seen plenty of situations where a family friend became a family
"unfriend" because stuff went off the rails.
