re: Renewal by Andersen.... What's the boards opinion for those that fell for the sales pitch?

We replaced East facing front of the house windows that just get blasted by the Sun to some more energy efficient options (and a bit of tint). Not 2 months later a Renewal by Andersen person knocked on my door and said "I can see that your windows are pretty old and need to be replaced" and pointed to our brand new windows

I just baited him in. "Oh yeah, I just bought the house a few years ago, how old do you think the windows are?" etc. He just kept digging.

FTR, I used a local company and it was 4 windows for 10k roughly. I got the nicest options they had for the most part so it seems like your estimate is ridiculous unless they're just huge windows.
