If we go with Simonton then we will have Bay City Windows do the windows. If we pick Milgard then it will be wither Bay City or Window Express.

I was wondering if anyone had information on the correct method for installing retrofit windows, website or anything else. I have wood siding and have been given different instillation techniques by a few contractors. One contractor told me that the Milgard retrofit windows can not be foam filled. I...

I am wondering if anyone had information regarding the Milgard Styleline vs the Classic series. I know that the Classic has one inch of space between the glass compared to 3/4 of an inch for the Styleline. Are there any other differences between the windows? I am leaning toward the Styleline due to ...
