Re: Need advice for Wood Laminate Replacements

The vytex potomac would be my first choice followed by the alside 8000. Although I am not a fan of alside at all, the 8000 is a pretty decent window. Which company is offering the 8000?

Re: Himark 1000 vs 800dx differences?

Re: Trying to decide on which quote / window to go with

Think about this for a minute- Why would the installation company state they were doing everything with foam but only using foam for the slider “if necessary?” There is obviously a very good reason.

Re: Trying to decide on which quote / window to go with

The okna and sunrise are far above the wincore, not even close. Yes, they are well worth the extra. There is a reason your contractor is so much cheaper.

Window world does not make their own window contrary to what they say. They use MI Windows and Alside and they throw the window world name on the locks.

Re: Installer Recommendation in NYC Plus Other Questions

Give us some more details. How many windows? Are they all white? Any grids? What was the total cost?
