We want to have vinyl replacement windows installed in our 16 year old
home in MN. We have narrowed it down to Home Depot's windows made by
Simonton windows and a local contracter who uses Hurd windows.

Anyone have any thoughts pro and/or con regarding these two
manufactures of windows?

Thank you very much in advance.

Personally, I wouldn't shop windows at HD. I won't say anything about Hurd,
because they're not competitive in my area.

You could give Alsides a call or stop in, ask for a list of contractors
known for window installations. They're in MN, but only you would know how
close they are to you. They have a good name and a decent product, they back
their products as long as they're installed properly.
