Our house sure needs them! Our neighbors had new windows installed recently and we had the company representative come by yesterday to give us an estimate. For 10 windows, 3 of which are tall &amp; narrow (requiring custum building no matter who we order from), the others are normal sized bedroom &amp; bathroom &amp; hallway &amp; kitchen windows - the cost is $7,500, includes removal &amp; installation. We have 6 other windows plus a patio door but those don't need replacing just yet.<br> <br> This seems like a lot of $ to us. Granted they are very nice quality double hung windows - maintance free, sashes tilt out for cleaning, warranty transferable to any new home owner, etc. http://centuryonebuilders.com/windows/doublehung.htm<br> Several homes in our neighborhood have used this company.<br> <br> Does this seem a reasonable estimate? Of course we recieved the sales pitch - windows &amp; installation is better than other companies, discounts for "first time visit", "family military service", etc.<br> <br> Any thoughts? tag:ask.metafilter.com,2006:site.30749 Fri, 13 Jan 2006 08:27:48 -0800 centuryonebuilders windowinstallation windows LadyBonita
