What's startup costs for a window making factory in Mexico or Mississippi?. Sounds like there is a good market. Cheap labor and close to some booming places... Nashville, chat, and Huntsville... Mexico you got Houston and TBH all of Texas.

I sell to a wide range of makers that have vastly different startup costs. Some are Amish and they work with maybe low five figures worth of startup stuff and just them and their sons, and then I also sell to corporate window makers that have eight figure factories with 100+ employees.
My Amish guys essentially buy the sash and frames in extrusions and cut and piece them together in their barns. The corporate places have multiple IG lines, tempering ovens, automatic racks, etc.
Basically, you can do it with as little or as much as you want.

Remember this when they’re trying to explain the future drop in defenestrations.

Production was slow during pandemic. Then a couple of major production builders bought up a shite load of the standardized sizes.

Let me explain something to you I will type as slow as possible. How do you build a home without windows? You can’t it’s illegal. Think about that for a minute. …….. have you thought about that for a while? You will pay what they ask and that’s it. There is no shortage.

We just finished building last month. Our windows took about 6 months from when we ordered.
We’re building a house and the windows were just received, 6 months after ordering and 2 months after they were needed.

Windows were already in short supply when tRump was prez. I need some windows and doors for a house expansion and was quoted 4 month lead time in 2019. I built them myself and saved a lot of money.

Our builder wouldnt break ground until the windows came in. Not sure what the actual lead time is since I’m sure they order in bulk nonstop, but they only start 2 houses a month now because that’s all the materials they can get in. Took from Labor Day until early January to break ground.

Read this on CNN.com the other day.

Anyone ever wonder if years of ‘hiring equity’ are starting to bite us due to unqualified people being in positions they don’t deserve?

Ordered my windows January 31 and got a email today saying they just got them from the factory. Not sure when the install will take place.

If you think windows are bad. Try getting polyiso insulation board.
