Was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for companies to
sell/install replacement windows in my home. Located in lower New
Haven county.

Also, any specific brands to look for? I figure Id avoid the HD/Lowes
deals, I prefer to give the $$$ to a local dealer/installer that will
probably give me a better product and install for slightly more $$$
than the "borg" stores.

Thanks in advance!

I was a contractor for almost 30 years and good vinyl windows will do
the job if installed correctly.They are pretty much maintenance free
except for occasional cleaning and possible lubrication. Vinyl windows
normally cost less overall when you take into account labor and
materials. Normally vinyl windows are made to fit an existing opening
while wood windows normally come in standard sizes, therefore you make
the opening fit the window.The casement style usually has the best
"seal" due to the way they are built. Double hung windows usually get
more air leakage because of the way the sashes move. Simonton Vinyl
Windows www.Simonton.com are probably the most respected and well-known
brand on the
market nationwide. Vinyl window companies are a dime a dozen so I would

be very careful. Also remember that like any other product out there
there are good, better,and best levels of any product.
