That is a decent price for my area.


Hmmm, according to the website, Anderson has a 20-year warranty on
glass. So maybe I'll end up paying nothing. We'll see.

That would be "Andersen" w/ an "e" not "o" to be pedantic...

I've not read the warranty but I suspect it won't cover breakage that
was, presumably, from an outside source, not an inherent failure/defect
in the window.

Mostly what they're guaranteeing is the sealed unit and the actual
structural integrity. Like the "road hazard" exclusion on tire
treadwear or blowout warranty.

That IS correct. They are guaranteed against losing their seal and
getting condensation in them, or going "cloudy".
Breakage is not covered. If it is a BIG window, like 35 sq frt or
more, your homeowners insurance might cover it - but you WILL pay for
it in the long run.
