I'm in a bind. I have probably read most everything on the window forum. We are building in South Louisiana. I knew from the beginning that our builder allowed $2500 of our budget for windows. He said there was no way we would go over that. And if we buy what he and the rest of this area usually buys, we won't. We want vinyl. I already knew that most of the brands recommended on GW are not available anywhere near me, but I figured I could at least get a name brand from a big box store with a decent warranty, like Anderson 100 or Jeldwen. Even though they are not the best, I would have a warranty. But if I do this, I will probably go over by double the budgeted amount. The only thing I can find in my area that might be a quality window is Weatherbarr and I can not find any comments on it by doing a search on here. I have no idea if I should pursue this brand. I am willing to double my budget for windows but these might be even more. So, my question is, given my current choice of builder grade Croft and Ply Gem in vinyl or aluminum, is it worth it to double my budget for the big box crap just so I will have a longer warranty? And has anyone ever heard of Weatherbarr? And has reading the window forum truly educated me or has it turned me into a "nothing is good enough for me" B?
