The home improvement store came out two years ago and installed 11 new windows of which 3 were really huge picture windows.
We went with them because they had a sale going on where if we used their services, we paid a special price per window. There was a deal. No matter what size the window was, it was the same price, except for a picture window which we knew was a special thing. We didn't expect to get it for $199.00. We had one large picture window and two picture windows in the basement that faced the back of the house. we had milled them so that there were three separate windows milled together to make the opening and we paid $199.00 per window no matter what size we had aside from the picture window in the living room. We chose them because of the price and also because they had a good financing program where we had 18 months without interest and so that's why we did it and now it's paid off. They are professional and they contract the work to some local or in-area people. These guys came from across the border in Pennsylvania. They were really good and did a fine job. We used them because it was all inclusive in that price. We didn't have to buy the windows and find somebody to install them. They did all that work for us. Whenever I called them they always had somebody to call me back right away or they had the answers I was looking for. We shop at the store and we've never had a problem with their products. We couldn't afford the top quality windows and we didn't want something really cheap either so we tried to stay in the middle of the road and do the job that we needed done which was to take out the old windows and put in something that would at least help a little bit with the heating issue. We felt that they would stand by us. If anything happens to the window, they replace the pane without charge so they are guaranteed forever. As long as I own the house I don't have to replace the window. They are going to replace it for me. The installation was fine and was done in one day. They had all the windows in, even the picture windows, within a day. It did help with the heating issue, but we had one window in the kitchen that was breathing. They left one of the windows because we were debating on having it put into a slider so that we could build a deck off the back of the house. We noticed a difference between the bedroom where it used to be cold and we could feel the air coming through the windows and the window that we left undone. When we went in the bedroom, what used to be cold all over, it was warmer because the windows were keeping the air out on the windy nights. In the kitchen we could feel the breeze coming right through. It was definitely an improvement. I can't say what the energy cost was with the cost of fuel right now the way it is. The quality of the product was not the top of the line. We looked into doors and I did have them come out to give me an estimate on a door and we were all ready to do it with them when I found a door online that was never installed and saw the huge amount that I would save. I was getting a $1500.00 door for $300.00. I would use them again if there was something else I needed to have done.
