Vinyl Windows - Am I getting ripped off?
We have a contractor who is installing new windows for our house. I has
originally requested Jeld-Wen or Milgard double pane vinyl windows. The contractor then told me that they prefer LBL windows...and I trusted him..however when the windows were delivered, they were Empire Pacific Windows. I asked about this and the contractor then said they no longer use LBL windows as they had some problems with them... Well they installed the windows, but it seems that our house is even colder than when we had the aluminum windows and the sound (we live near a busy road) is even louder, even though the contractor claimed that the new windows they installed would muffle the sound. Are Empire Pacific 5200 Series vinyl windows comperable to Jeld-Wen and Milgard windows? I checked with our local Home Depot and was told that they are cheaper windows (about 25%), but since they sell Jeld-Wen figured they may be a bit biased. Thank You |
