| We are rebuilding our house after a fire, we got the quote on the exact same Andersen 400s. They are half again what they cost just 5 years ago! The increases we are seeing on other things are no where no where near this high, what is going on? Same dealer...same windows. |

| Andersen make two kinds of 400 series windows. Be sure you are talking about the same windows. |

| The guy said he ordered the exact same windows. |

| I never trust an order I have not reviewed. I doubt the change is entirely due to the manufacturer. A 50% increase would probably put these windows in competition with extruded aluminum clad windows. Try a another Andersen supplier or an extruded aluminum clad window. |

| B.s. msrp may have increased not windows. Get quote from five dealers. There are a lot better windows one could have for a lot less than that. |

| shifrbv, your response is confusing and actually asks more questions than is answers. What do you mean? |

| I don't know what the Andersen price increase was for 2012 but for 2011 it was 3.5% and for 2010 there was no increase. The most it could have increased is probably 15% so you need to start looking for a reputable supplier. |
