American craftsman is total garbage and i would avoid them at all costs.
Yes, both Okna and Sunrise are high end and much much better.

The price for Renewal is just asinine as is the used car salesmen approach in my mind. As mmarse mentions there are much better windows for less money.

I am with the other two guys in that you can get a really great vinyl window and actually have a better built and performing window than you were previously considering while still getting all the ROI improvement in the home value.

Very nice vinyl will do a great job and very likely give the home a nice facelift of sorts.

Hello again

Thanks for the responses. I've received a quote from a company called Conservation Windows, a regency plus inc. Anyone have information on that company?

What product are they selling?
Where in PA are you located?... I know of a couple very solid companies that serve different parts of PA.

I would definitely go for a good product. If you plan to live there for 6-10 more years, you want something that will still look and perform like new when you go to sell, and entry level products are not going to offer that. In fact, they could be a real turn-off to a potential buyer at that point. You may very well be able to find something that doesn't break the bank, however there is definitely a minimum threshold of quality that you don't want to go under in my opinion.

Central near Harrisburg.

The plan is to live here 6 more years until kids are out of school, then it all depends on job in new area/state since wife doesn't really care for PA.

As of now, I am getting quotes from $5100 - $8000 for 9 windows. I am replacing casements with double hung and will reduce the number of windows. From 9 to 6, including an arch. I have no idea if these are high or normal quotes, but seems high.

Totally depends on options, install requirements, and a host of other factors.

I would like to know more about the window.

A bad window, at any price, is overpriced whereas a great window at a higher price is still a good value.

Can you get them to give you NFRC data or build data?

This was you were after?
