Is $5,700 a Good Deal for 6 Windows Replacement?
Asked by J3nnY_09!
I live in a house from the 80s and need to replace 6 windows due to issues: 3 are broken and the rest are energy inefficient. The sizes I'm working with are 4 windows at 34x72 and 2 at 34x52. I first received a quote from Winchoice for $9,000 but after deciding to cancel my contract, they lowered the price to $5,700. I'm seriously thinking about just ordering the windows and doing the installation myself since I work in construction. Is the $5,700 price a decent deal, or should I tackle this project myself? The lifetime warranty they offer is really appealing too.

Honestly, anyone who initially quotes you $9,000 when they can go down to $5,700 isn't someone I would trust. If it were me, I’d cancel the contract and see if they offer an even lower price. Also, check out some local businesses; they might give you a better deal without the haggling.

I can relate to your window woes! If you have a background in construction, you could definitely try the DIY route, but don't underestimate the complexity of the job. I tried replacing windows once, and it was an exhausting process—like a rollercoaster of measuring and sealing. But there are tons of helpful tutorials online. The $5,700 deal with a warranty is tempting, though. If you're busy with work, paying that might save you a lot of headaches later. Plus, remember to check reviews for Winchoice—big investments deserve good service!

Make sure to check if those old windows are still under a warranty! I was pleasantly surprised when I found mine covered by a lifetime warranty from Sears. I found a sticker on the sash with details that helped me out. But if yours aren't covered, 40 years old? Yeah, I'd say it's time for an upgrade.
R3pair_M3ch: Definitely something to consider for the future. But you’re right, those things are ancient!

Are you going for full replacements or just sash kits?
J3nnY_09!: I'm going with full replacements since the frames are pretty rotted in spots.
