Hello. I live in the Northeast. My house and windows are 40 years old. The windows are overdue for replacement. I am in the process of getting quotes from Anderson Renewal and Pella window installation near alexandria va. There are about a dozen windows of various sizes. I was wondering if you have replaced windows in your house, is there any words of advice or lessons learned that you can share with me?
Some of the questions I have are: 1. When I get a quote, is it negotiable? Is it a bit like buying a car? 2. Should I be looking for a particular type of window? 3. Are there any other brands than Pella or Anderson which are good but less expensive? 4. Does anybody have experience with Home Depot or Lowe's in windows replacement? I will need to pay somebody replace them for me.
I would really appreciate your advice. This is probably going to be expensive (and my first time replacing windows), so, I want to learn the lessons others may have learned in the past.
