John,
I had mine house done about 2 yrs ago. I called about 5 places and
got estimates, but didn't call Window World. I could't believe the
$189 installed
ads.
I finally went with a local company that had been in business for about 50 yrs.
I was relatively supprised at how easy it was to pull the windows out from the
outside. But the new windows will be just a little smaller because the don't
remove the inside trim and really take the old window frame out.
There was only 1 fellow installing my windows (15 including a picture window
it the bay window area) and it took him about 3 1/2 days to complete
the job. Most of the estimates were from $6-$8K. I ended up at just over $7K.
After I did mine, the lady behind me (same style house) had Window World do
her house. She opted for an upgrade to the $189 window and it cost her within
$500 of what it cost me. When Window World did hers, they sent a crew of 2 or
3 fellows and did the job in 1 day.
