Price Double hung windows and install price?

16 years ago

I contacted company named as the worlds largest builder of replacement windows with a very good window according to the experts. These are Vinyl windows.

I received a price (there recommended installer) of $700.00 each for normal sized windows (DH) installed! Is this the normal pricing structure for good vinyl windows or any windows for that matter?

I would really appreciate answers concerning this. If further info is needed please ask.

There is thousands of vinyl windows out their. three important factors are air infilteration, framing r-value, and glass. If you live up north you want a triple pane window. In the south you want a double pane. You can get a better solar heat gain. $700 hundred is high. What people don't understand is all companies are 25-40% markup value. The best window in north or south is a company called Sunrise. They care a triple and double. By NFRC they beat all te top brands in every rating. Don't pay more than $600. Always negotiate. Give them A price. I have been in Home improvement sales all my life. I have sold Simoton, Gorell, champion, great lakes, alside(window world, piece of sh--!)and sunrise. The window is amazing.

mhays21 thanks for your reply. The window I was talking about is made by a company called "Schuco" supposedly they are the largest maker of windows in the world. It has a great recommendation from another web site but 1 of the people there also gave me a lecture on how these companies had it so rough and $700.00 was a decent price, I think he is nuts!

I don't know anything about Sunrise but I will check them out.

Sunrise is good, but it's not the best. They need to switch to Super Spacer before they can be the best.

Sunrise uses xledge spacer from cardinal glass, which has the lowest failure rate in the industry. I never said sunrise was the best. but i have yet to see a window statistically better. If there is I love to learn about new product.

So. how do Sunrise windows compare to Pella, Symington, and all the national brands that are normally recognized by everyone.
I am especially interested in Bay/Bow windows?

PS. I emailed the Sunrise company for complete literature and have yet to hear back from them by conformation email. It has been only a couple of days, but still!
