I'm looking to replace the original single-pane windows in my 60-year-old house and have received estimates from Champion Windows and Renewal by Anderson (RBA). Champion's quote was way above my budget, but RBA seemed more reasonable at around $20,000 for seven windows, which translates to about $293 a month for 15 years. I've been searching for new windows for some time, and this is the best deal I've found so far. I'd love to hear your opinions and experiences with RBA or any suggestions you might have!

Hey OP! Just to clarify, at my company we use similar financing options, and if you're getting quoted $293 for a $20k job, that seems off. Our monthly payments for a similar deal should be closer to $193. Plus, we offer a better product at a better price. If you'd like more details, just let me know!
Just a heads up, $293 a month over 15 years adds up to almost $52,740, which is way higher than the quoted $20k. That's about $7,534 per window! Just something to think about when you're comparing options.
I thought something didn't seem right about that, that's outrageous.
Replacing windows can feel daunting, but if you're considering RBA, make sure you read the fine print. Companies like RBA often inflate costs due to extended warranties that include various coverage. In my own experience, I ended up going the DIY route after receiving estimates that felt too high. You might also want to consider hiring a local window specialist; they can sometimes offer better quality work and savings compared to big corporations. Just make sure they're recommended and reliable!
I appreciate the info! Local seems more better financially so I will look some up, thanks!
That’s what happens with a loan paying interest.
