Thanks, everyone, for your input.

A quick follow up: The Home Depot Roofing sales-rep (not the windows
sales rep)
came by last week to give me a roofing estimate. He also seemed very
honest and
knowledgeable. He spent a lot of time with and gave me a quote for
removing the old shilngles and replacing with GAF architectural
shingles.

In addition, i have also called 4 local contractors, yet have only
heard back from 1 of them. He is coming tomorrow, hopefully. It has
been my experience that contractors
are some of the most unreliable 'business' people you will ever meet. I
have been
burned may times with contractor 'no-shows', this after taking the day
off from work.
At least the home depot roofing rep called me and said he'd be 15
minutes late.

Home Depot absolutely can NOT be trusted. I promise they will quote
you one price & then not show up & then demand more money. I am in the
middle of a Home Depot install nightmare right now. Do NOT use Home
Depot. I was warned & I did not listen! I have only myself to blame.
Don't make my mistake!

Hi All

I need new windows and siding...the siding is so bad that it will
probably have to stripped off, and some of the plywood underneath
replaced.

A sales-rep from Home Depot came by yesterday to give me an estimate.
He seemed
honest and knowledgable. The quote he gave for the entire job wasn't
too bad either
(I've gotten a few other estimates as well).

Now the question. Can Home Depot be trusted? Are there 6500 series
windows really as good they claim them to be? Do they do a good job
installing? They say they stand behind their work, but I've heard some
horror stories. Any feedback would be most greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
