Re: Windows Replacement in Central VA
Good feedback above. As far as the pricing, it sounds like you have 2) banks of 3 windows for a total of 6? If someone is 3x's your $6k budget, that doesn't sound right. If they are wood full frames with stained interior, new refinished casing, etc you are pushing closer to that, but no way somethin...

Re: Okna 800 question
Great advice above, easy choice for the Okna. $200 does seem a little steep for triple pane argon, is it possible that included krypton (although it may actually be low for krypton). Another way of looking at it though is that $850 per unit is cheap for that window, so even adding the $200 to get to...

Re: Window replacement
That porridge seems to be either too hot or too cold windrok. You have three awful choices that offer mediocre products installed with cut-rate labor, and then one great product that sounds like it may be a bit high. Your last idea of contracting the labor on your own is by far the worst. ALWAYS sou...

Re: Choosing new windows
Couple of things to consider: 1) The price difference doesn't automatically mean that the higher number is higher than it should be. Without knowing more details, that price could be below average for all we know. The lower one may just be alarmingly low. In this scenario, there is fair chance that ...

Re: Gentek SE vs Slocomb IS500
Yeah, I guess I’d ask why though? Because it's widely regarded as one of the least reliable, most service prone window lines in existence. Does this mean I just can’t get good windows for $17k? Seems pretty insane to me. Nope. Just means that in most cases, the lower the price goes the higher the p...

Re: Gentek SE vs Slocomb IS500
Thank you for your advice though, I’ve changed companies and will be working with the more established company to up my glass package on the Gentek. Changed companies? Just to be clear, I am not recommending the Gentek window. In fact, I'd recommend staying away from it. The company itself sounds l...

Re: Gentek SE vs Slocomb IS500
They would not be anywhere near the top of my list, no. As I mentioned, there are several manufacturers that are fairly universally respected for their quality and product performance. Softlite, Okna, Sunrise (now MI V series), Polaris, Vytex, etc... Some of those are more regionally available than ...

Re: Gentek SE vs Slocomb IS500
I'd agree with WoW. If you can find a company with a profile closer to choice "B", but with a better product, that would be ideal. There are a handful of window products that are pretty widely recommended by pros on this and other forums, I'd try to see what you can find as far as a dealer...

Re: New windows in NC
The Vytex is the only option here that I'd consider, and that is a fair price in 2023. The level of product options and installation details would determine where on that scale it would fall, but definitely within the reasonable range these days. As WoW alluded to, this is a bargain compared to the ...

Re: v5000 Restorationn (Sunrise) vs Okna 500
Observations in order of importance: 1) If your Okna quote is from Windows on Washington, this is a slam dunk for you. Excellent company top to bottom. 2) If it is not from WoW, call them. They are on another level, I promise. 3) Be careful not to confuse an attempt to compare apples to apples produ...

Re: Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?
@facesnorth , I'm sorry to hear about the difficulties. Choosing a dealer with great reviews that sells a great product sets the odds for a successful project in your favor, but unfortunately nothing is ever guaranteed. It does sound like there are some very legitimate concerns (mostly with the dea...

They have a slight effect on VT (the amount of light that comes in), but that's about it. No measurable change to efficiency.

Re: ATLANTA WINDOW REPLACEMENT- Okna vs. Restorations
I did a brief search and both companies look to have a very good reputation, although Pinnacle's is outstanding with 0 BBB complaints and nearly perfect ratings everywhere you check. I think that Davis looks like a great company with a great product that probably wins most comparisons, but unless yo...
