Let's see what you are seeing. In some cases you can set the window from the interior and butt it into the exterior stop, but most folks like the lack of painting and other maintenance burden that capping provides.
Done well...capping can be very complimentary.

Re: Hurricane (Impact) Windows advice
The first two are relatively well regarded. The last one has less gravitas as a brand.

Re: New windows in NC
5050 is kind of a throwaway window if you ask me.

Super tall opening. You sure a full height double hung is the way to go here?

Re: Fixing lock in Sunrise Patio Door
Last picture, while not great, does indicated that the panel gapping it off a bit. Not sure if that is the sill being out of level or the manner in which the frame is attached to the wall, but this should be an installer correction.

Re: Fixing lock in Sunrise Patio Door
Let's see what you are seeing and check the panel reveal with the fixed door. How about some pictures.

Re: New windows in NC
Have them check them out. Sliders can be a bit more finicky, but on the average, will not be as "tight" as double hungs.

Re: New windows in NC
Operable windows will leak a bit more noise as noise is carried on air. The play from side to side is normal and intentional. Still captured in the weatherstripping pocket so its find.

Re: New windows in NC
Look like they are sealing the gaps between the old sill and side trim/framing with protector flashing tape. Unnecessary with properly installed capping, but it's an added layer of protection so it demonstrates that they are kind of going the extra mile.

Everyone suffered during Covid on the manufacturing front. They are still a brand that I would recommend.

Re: Windows Replacement in Central VA
Where in Central VA? FYI...Wouldn't use a vinyl product from Lowes or Home Depot and damn sure wouldn't use what is normally comprised of their labor. Your window is a "bay" shape, but is not a bay unit. The walls are framed and it consists of two double hung flankers with a center picture...
