I've been researching for a while, and need to get to this replacement project someday, too. I seem to be sort of set on Milgard brand from HD, and do the installation myself.
Could you please let us know what brand/style for your windows that you have chosen?
Please post pics when done for sure. 
anyone have any comments about Milgard ? |
We had Milgard put in a number of years ago. Got a new slider put in in the family room too.
All well worth the money and mess and highly recommend them. It is so nice to have windows you can slide open with one hand vs the two it used to take to get the old ones open. We're fairly close to the beach and the ocean air didn't do the old aluminum windows any favors.
We got Low e glass and were surprised at how cool the house stays, both summer and winter. We were impressed with how much solar energy they kept out during both seasons.
