Need help deciding on home replacement windows.? I live in Dallas Texas and am in the process of buying replacement windows for my home. Here is what I am deciding between and would love to get some insight form an epert or from others that have recently purchased windows.: 1. Fiberglass vs. Vinyl - Have been quoted Vinyl from Pella. Looks nice but more expensive. Are they worth the extra price (3k? Is it a better to have in hot temperatures? My house shifts so is on more flexable than Vinyl? Is Pella a good brand for Fiberglass? 2. If I was to look at Vinyl I have quotes from Home Depot (Simonton) & Lowes (Dakota and Pella). The Lowes rep. says that Dakota (out of Arkansas) makes a better vinyl product. Anyone know much about Dakota and how it compares to the others. Out of three which is the best? Simonton is about $2,500 more than Dakota. Is it worth the price? Any experience with buying from Home Depot or Lowes. Thanks!

What can I expect to pay for 3 replacement windows in our home? I know the variables are great, but I'm interested in "standard-size", double-hung? (slides up & down), tilt-in (for easy clean), double-paned (energy efficient for tax-credit), vinyl-framed(?) windows. I was quoted $2,300 for 3 window replacements yesterday, and was just astounded they are basically $767 apiece! - They would have a lifetime warranty (transferable), but...Dang! We're down to one income now and need a cheaper (but reliable) alternative. Or, is that considered "average" pricing? I'd consider other in-home estimates, but after making the salesman angry because I wouldn't commit to a sale last eve, I'm hesitant to waste anyone else's time if I don't want to agree to their pricing. :( I should add, this a 50+ yr. old home & windows. Most of them are "tall" and would probably have to be custom-fit, but installation may not be as big an issue as first thought to be...My spouse does maintenance work for a living; he's just never replaced Ws. - So, I then wonder if it's better to be done by a professional for the benefit of customer service/satisfaction if a problem arise. (ie: "insurance" asides from the W itself.) It seems there are some great deals out there with Buy 1, Get 1 Free, etc. - I'll just keeping checking around, and stop inviting strangers into my home to see how much money they can get out of us! ;)

Who makes the best replacement windows for homes?

Have you bought replacement windows for your home? Who was the Manufacturer? Are you happy? Why or Why Not? I have asked a similar question that you can review at: http://answers.yahoo.com/question/index?qid=20080111154643AAjePFv&r=w ....but THIS question is different as I want to know if YOU HAVE HAD YOUR OWN WINDOWS REPLACED or if you work for a firm that manufactures windows. TELL ME A BRAND. Be specific on why you are happy or not happy with your windows. If you are comfortable mentioning it, how much did you pay (or how much do you charge if you are a manufacturer). This is an expensive proposition for me, and nothing is better than testimonials. Not to sound rude, but if you haven't had your windows replaced or don't manufacture windows, best save this space for someone who has/does. Thanks in advance for all of your kind assistance.

DIY Replacement windows? My husband and I bought an older house (1930?) and it's got the most awful windows you can imagine. When we bought it, the basement bedroom windows were painted and nailed shut and covered with plastic. For fire safety, we had someone "fix" the windows, but essentially what he did was sand them down to the point where you can see daylight around the edges. The work was free to us (gift from our realtor) so I couldn't do much about it. Anyway, I can't afford to have professionals come in and install all new windows in the house. I'd like to, before winter, at least get the basement bedroom windows replaced so my kids, my husband and I don't freeze to death. Where can I find REALLY good, visual, step-by-step information (book form or online would be great) to buying windows from Home Depot or Lowes and installing them myself? Thanks!

When purchasing replacement windows and doors (in my case vinyl) does it pay to go expensive?

Thanks in advance for any advice and/or sources.

We bought a 50 year old ranch home that has the old up and down slide windows; need new ones but where? These windows resemble the windows on the older storm doors that go up and down and click into the slots. Ours are leaking and all the felt has worn away leaving big gaps where all the rain and snow comes into the sun porch. We do not know if you can purchase these type of windows any more and really cannot afford to redo the porch with new windows and frames. Plus; the windows are not all the same size and there are 16 of them. Does any one have any idea where we may be able to purchase replacement windows?

Contract question - My replacement windows were installed 7 months late.? I had a contract with a home improvement company to put replacement windows in my house. The contract was dated June 1st 2007 and said they would deliver and install the windows within 2-4 weeks. They just showed up last week (7 1/2 months late) and installed the.... Do I still have to pay them? Some are still messed up and I've spent tons of time trying to get things straightened out with them. Can they sue me or put a lien on my house considering that they broke the contract? They broke the contract by committing to start the job AND be finished within 2-4 weeks and then gave one excuse after another and didn't show up again for almost 8 months. They also provided a bunch of broken materials and I have one window with a broken frame, and 2 where the glass is broken. They have replaced one of the broken glasses and not fixed the other stuff. I have about 60-70 hours of my own time invested in dealing with them by now. The company also had advertised "satisfaction guaranteed or your money back"... I don't think they satisfied the contract which is why I am wondering if I have to pay them...

Which replacement window style looks best for my house? I am having the windows in my home replaced. The options I have are all-vinyl (white, beige or brown) or aluminum on the outside, with a choice of paint-grade or stain-grade wood inside. The windows I am replacing are all wood-frame. I'd pretty much settled on the white vinly (easy to coordinate and less expensive) except that much of my interior decor, including the trim around the windows on the main level is stained OAK. I'm wondering if that would look cheesy - the white vinyl window next to the stained oak interior trim. Thoughts? Has anyone tried this or seen this at all? Thanks in advance!

If you were buying a victorian home- would your prefer old or new windows? Also the previous owner replaced 4 of the old windows with vinyl replacement and 3 of them have cracked because they weren't installed correctly. The estimated cost to replace all the windows is around $17,000. Would it really be worth it? The current windows are in good shape, though they could use some minor repairs to chains and need a few stops to be replaced. Is it worth the time and effort to fix repair/remove the paint, or not worth the hassle and buy new vinyl windows. My other issue is the way the vinyl windows will look on the exterior since they can't be painted, and the victorian trim. Efficiency isn't a problem with them. My heating and electric bills are actually quite cheap compared to some people, and my home with the 42 windows that it has is actually warmer in the winter months than a friends home that is a row and has new windows.

Can anyone explain what makes windows energy efficient? I have a new home (1 yr old) with "energy efficient" windows rated well by Energy Star. I am having the same problem with these windows that I had with replacement windows in my last house. The glass itself radiates a great deal of cold air. There is more cold air than I had with my regular windows with storm windows. There are no air leaks around the windows, so weatherstripping is not the answer. How can these new windows be considered more energy efficient? Do all the newer energy-efficient windows have this same problem? Can I use storm windows with these windows?

Has any one ever done business with a company called "Windows USA" who instals and sells Alaskan? Vinyl Windows. A man came to our house offering a check for $100 just to allow him to demonstrate the product. The sales man showed us the product and after estimating the cost of the project at $12,658 we decided we did not want it. So eventfully the estimate got down to $8,610 but we still didn't want to pay that much for replacement windows. Eventfully the sales man got on the phone with the company management the price was again reduced to $5195. For this we felt like we had a deal and with the sales man in our house for four hours we wanted him to leave. We knew replacement windows were a way to raise the equity in our home which seems like a good idea but now that we have signed a contract and had time to think things over, we are suspicious. There are numerous typos in the paper work and we can not seem to find the company on the internet at all which seems strange. I need to know if any one has done business with this company and if they were satisfied with the results.
