I call myself a responsible home owner and try to keep my home in tip top shape. I have been wanting new windows in the home since i bought it in 2009. Our home is 11 years old and these "Alenco" windows suck in the summer months and winter months, and we hear lots of the outside noises. I called a few companies for quotes so i could get educated on windows and, Renewal By Andersen came first and QUICK i might add. The salesman was nice and he seemed knowledgeable and interested in making me and my wife happy with new windows, and the selling the raves of being energy efficient( you know they get you with that whole HOT light against your windows treatment).
I was prepared for an estimate of 16-25k depending on a few things i wanted to change on the back of the house. After 1.5 hours of "selling", he turned his laptop around for us to see the price............it was 59,000.00! So there goes the SOS 3.5L motor build and twin turbo setup with all the other bells and whistles.
I didn't sign and basically started watching youtube videos while he continued to sell my wife. After i checked back in and haggled, he was down to 39k. Now the windows were nice and the salesman was nice and i know they would look nice, but am i misinformed on what replacement windows cost??? I did go to the home show in Austin today and looked at Champion windows and Marvin windows and a SLEW of cheap ones. To me the Andersen ones seem to be the nicest but are they worth 39,000.00? They are charging basically 1800 a window and 95% of them are standard sized double hung windows.
Looking to hear from other sticker shocked people or others that have bought new windows lately for your home.
