Just had 10 windows replaced (glass only) for $2100.
That's what I was thinking. Who did you go with?

Labor warranty, labor warranty; installation labor warranty regardless of proper workmenship.
All that matters. Lifetime on window itself is nothing; everyone will give you that; its irrelevent, windows dont fail, replacement installs do.
Also lifetime warranty from a company that has been in business less than 15 yrs; meaningless. They havent survived a product cycle, they come and go, come and go, change names, come and go. Its easy to survive until those service calls and warranties actually start calling.
Oh you build windows yourself? How long have you been doing that? Less than 20 yrs? Not going in my house, your lifetime warranty isn't worth the paper its printed on.

Marvin is a great window too. Was comparing Marvin to Pella full replacement for the fiberglass inside & out. Marvin solid, Pella Imperva looked like cheap vinyl.

Talked to a guy the other day who did the windows in Nick Saban’s house at Lake Burton many years ago. The cost just for the windows was $1,000,000.

you can do most of it yourself.
My husband and I rebuilt our farmhouse. We did pay to have the heating and air conditioning installed (neither of us were comfortable cutting metal duct work). Roofing, flooring insulation, sheet rocking, plumbing and electrical and reglazing and reworking old windows (with original wavy glass from the 1800s) were allowed in our county. Some places won't let you do it yourself, but we chose where to live with this in mind.
