If your plans specified black windows and your GC missed that it’s on him. However I’ve never seen the color of the windows actually called out on the plans.

To answer your question try Lincoln

I wouldn't want black windows of either vinyl or alum. You already have enough heat gain through windows in the summer. Last thing you need is black frames getting searing hot from the sun.

Well the plans are in color and show black. I'm not trying to screw anyone over or get something for free, just trying to find a solution. Thank you for your answer.

I assumed they had been ordered. Did you look at the website and see what the price difference is? If he is telling you the truth then your only recourse is to find out who screwed up. Either way he still may cut you some slack.

That is all I got.

From my understanding I was quoted at 1 grade over builder's grade and now I'm going with something that is closer to premium, if I were to go with these black windows.

Black vinyl is an up charge for most manufacturers. What brand did he quote? Are they clad or vinyl?

Buying premium windows is an upgrade you won’t regret.

He’s not talking about upgrading the quality of the window. Just the color.


Not that I disagree with your statement. Window problems/leaks suck and are a gigantic pain in the arse. Cheaper windows = more problems

The colors are part of the upgrade.

Like leather seats come with the SLT package, not the SLE package.

Right.
To get the color you want, you have to step it up from the base products.

I understand what you're saying. But this guy only sells one or two brands. I'm wondering if there are other brands that sell black windows that aren't premium grade.
