Thanks for all the great info guys. Zeke, I did remember that, but hate to pester anyone directly.

We're looking at a range of $500 per window installed for vinyl to upwards of $950 for the higher end ones.

Double "wall" with argon and grates inside the panes are a must for us along with a few small other upgrades. The most basic on the nicer manufacturers are $400ea. I'm doing FULL replacement not pocket install because of some issues from the previous windows, I want the frames replaced. (leakage/damage related).

I don't want any outside wood. Spells maintenance. Means work for me down the line and i want as maintenance free as possible.


The sales guys pushed fiberglass because "it's stonger" but uh... in my mind the window isn't a structural element of the house, so as long as it's metal reinforced, does that really matter?
