Window Replacement Options

13 years ago

We've gotten quotes from a variety of installers, all selling different brands of windows. The installers with the best reviews on Angie's list are selling brands I'm not familiar with and can't find much info online - Soft-Lite Barrington and Okna Insultec.

Home Depot gave us a quote in Simonton 6500, but the price was about $1,000 more than the other two. How can I compare these brands to make sure I'm not wasting my money? Anyone know about either Barrington or Insultec?

The Barrington and Insul-Tec are both very solid offerings.

The compare very favorably to the Simonton offering.
