Windows..Aug 12, 2010


We need to replace a few old windows that were not replaced during the overall replacement ten years ago. At that time we had a bulk rate and the windows were about 200-250 each. Now the owner wants over 1000 for each window. and our manangement is telling us that is the cheapest.. Its plain alumn windows -- anyone have any info... or window companies you recommend... Thanks...VP,

original wood windows are the BEST - ally Aug 22, 2010


do not remove them. Clean them up and weatherstrip them. aluminum ones do not last.

Windows - Steve-Inwood Aug 23, 2010


We used Skyline. They were great on the install however we are two years out waiting for change order adjustments.

I would not recommend (which is a shame as their windows are great quality including great sound reduction too).
