Looks like I will have some new Simonton Reflections 5500 windows in May. I will definitely review when they get installed. For reference, the final quote came down to $544/window installed. It sure beat the $640 he quoted the day before. Not sure if it was the end of month/quarter rush like they cl...

I am assuming everything quoted was Reflections. I know the windows were, but I don't know about the door. Current setup is all single pane, aluminum frame (including sliding door), block house. They just offered me the 5500 at the price they quoted the 5050, so I am going to take the windows. We ar...

Is it necessary to get LowE on a window that never gets direct sunlight?

In the very short time that I have been researching replacement windows, I have learned that the contractor/installation is half the battle. I wouldn't have to do the circle jerk if something went wrong like I would with Home Depot. They would take care of everything. That is why I mentioned my comf...

Right, LowE, Argon, full grids, full screen replacing single pane aluminium frames on a block house.

I just got a quote for replacement windows out of Orlando, FL. I am very comfortable with the contractor and just wanted to get some opinions on the price. There were 17 windows and 1 sliding patio door quoted. Simonton 5500 + slliding door = 12,372 Gorell 5300 + sliding door = $13,750 I think both ...

I live in Volusia County, FL and they are requiring "2 copies of footprint drawing for window/doors to be replaced." Is this something that the manufacturer provides with their windows or is this something that I need to draw up as a homeowner?

Thanks for the info. I am working with a local contractor on another quote.

I guess I am in the same boat. I got my quote from Home Depot ($349/window installed special) using the AC12 windows for $5,575. Sears just walked out of here at $13,634. I'm getting my 3rd quote this weekend from a local contractor. I might just practice replacing the windows in the garage and do t...

I just got a quote from HD last weekend. Thier special right now is $349/window installed for the AC12. If you don't live in Florida, it is $299/window I am told. My total was $5,575. I just had Sears walk out of here with a quote of $13,634. I have requested a second quote from HD using the Silverl...
