The windows in our house needs replacement and so we have been busy looking for a good company to help us do so. We've gone to several home improvement stores thinking that we don't have to deal with having someone over our house to do their sales pitch...but then in the end they too send their "best sales consultant" to give you the pitch before you get a quote. So far we had one guy come over this week and he was fine, he didn't give us the high pressured sales pitch that much but he did try to get us to "seal the deal". I do like to shop around and weigh my options, thank you very much.
Anyway, we have a few more appointments next week and I am "so" not looking forward to it. We're not doing all of our windows as of now, mainly because it just cost so much and so for sure we'll have to go through this again in the near future...ayayay!

I've heard that the home improvement stores do not do work like that. They will sell you windows including installation, and then they will subcontract out the installation to some other firm. So if you have issues, the home improvement store will claim they are not responsible, they will send you off to Joe bag o donuts to get restitution for crappy installations!
Just so you know, I have heard there are some horror stories with people that have worked through Home Depot/Lowes on things like that.

After very little discussion, and basic due diligence, we decided that we'd pay the extra money (Really not much more) to get Anderson Windows instead - They do their own installation which is guaranteed for two years.
Thanks for the heads up!
