Replacement Vinyl Windows
I'm very confused. It's time to replace all the windows in my house in
Westchester County, NY. There are so many replacement window companies. Several have come to my house to give me prices. They all say their product is the best. How do I sort this out? I don't want the cheapest, nor do I need "the best". Want a quality window that will look nice and will be a plus when I sell the house sometime in the future. Thanks. Win |
Good heavens. Me too. I cannot make sense of it all.

Wouldn't use plastic PVC windows in my house. Try fiberglass or aluminum on
wood. Vinyl people always say they use the best vinyl but cannot prove it. Many seal the glass into the sash so if the glass seal fails you have to buy an entire sash -- that is if you can remember the name of the company, if it is still in business or even if they are still using the same vinyl profiles.

In a way, there is no such thing as a "replacement window". Once it is installed a window is a window is a window. Why replace with vinyl when that is rarely what people install on new homes of good quality. Pick the windows you want, interactively with verifying that you will be able to easily get the sizes you need (not as hard as you might think in this age of computer assisted drafting and manufacturing). There can indeed be "window replacement contractors" who specialize in this kind of remodeling job rather than in doing new work. But you might do be with some general, reputable contractor who does renovaton work. I'd expect they can figure out how to replace a window. So many of the "window replacement contractors" seem to be sales & marketing driven with high pressure to close. Reply to NG only - this e.mail address goes to a kill file. |
