Replacement Windows: Simonton 6500 (Home Depot) or World of Windows (ComfortWorld 6000)?

01 Jun

Home Depot gave me a quote for 17 of the 6500 series windows (installed) at $9,600. Some of the windows I had quoted are large. These meet the guidelines for $1,500 tax credit. I cannot find information about the ComfortWorld 6000 series window. I want to get a quote on them, but I am curious how much they cost. Anyone had either one of these windows installed? If so, what was your experience, number of windows installed, and how much did the project cost?

home contractor dispute – Home Depot windows?

27 May

I had Home Depot replace my windows. They removed exterior wood frame on the house, outside of the contract. They said they couldn’t fix it because they don’t do carpentry work. They agreed to a reduction of the $ that I still owe them. Now they say they can do it, but because I’ve been told repeatedly they can’t do it and are not qualified, I don’t trust them. When I asked for the license # of the person doing it, I was told he’s bonded and checked out by Home Depot.

My question is, do I have to let them fix their mistake? What are my rights in terms of me agreeing to the job? It feels like it’s new job and I don’t know what they plan to do (other than the oral explanation I got on the phone today that they will replace the wood as it was before as close to the other existing windows as possible.)

Anderson windows buy from Home depot or small retail outfit. (see notes)?

26 May

Price is almost the same except, the frame for the bow window.
The small retailer would mock up there own and my contractor would build (wood) header and seat
or made by Anderson if I buy from Homedepot.

What should I do? Who should I order from?
My contractor doesn’t care either way.

Measuring window tracks to secure my windows?

01 May

Yesterday someone tried to burglarize my home. It was a solid wood rod in the track of the sliding glass door that kept them from getting into the house. I want to get 3 more for different windows. I know how to measure for length, but how or do I need to measure the width of the track? I need to make sure that they will fit snug in the track. Also, does it matter whether I go to Home Depot or the lumber company? Thanks for any help or tips.

Which is better for house fixtures (windows, doors, bathroom fixtures)? Specialty stores or Home Depot?

25 Apr

We are planning on building a house, and we want really high quality stuff in it. Like really good windows, doors, floors, lighting, and bathroom fixtures. Is it better to just go with the brands at Home Depot/Lowes, or is it better to get everything from specialty stores?
