windows
i was just wondering if i made the right choice. i recently had someone come by and give me an estimate of how much it will cost me to install
1. 1 bay window - 110' wide about 64' tall
2. 1 garden window
3. six double pain windows
we were at $11,000.00 installation and everything (no hidden cost)
i got him down to $8,775.00 which i thought was a good deal.
what do you think.

If he came down from 11K to 8775, you got a terrible deal. He may still be overpriced or is selling poor products. 1. I think you mean inches, not feet??? 2. Most reputable companies have stopped making garden windows. They are prone to leaks and and if the majors manufacturers can't figure it out, I doubt the minors can. 3. more details please.

yes just bill i meant inches not feet.
just to elaborate a little bit more, it's going to be one bay window casement ends full screens multi pt locks. 3 - fixed panel dead lites (picture windows) is what i believe they call them and a garden window full screen operating casement with glass shelves
all windows carry lifetime guarantee, as long as the building stands, carries over to next owner if we sell not pro-rated. parts, labor, installation, glass, seals. if i accidentally break a glass they replace for free service and all.
all windows 'super saver welded/welded 100 pct virgin vinyl foam filled reinforced frames 7/8'' dual pane dbl strength glass, argon gas filled i believe as well. company belongs to BBB, and i can apply for the energy savings program each year. i was just wondering if i am paying too much for these windows.

they manufacture their own windows, they are called castle windows, thats why they install, guarantee every window and they have been in business since 1973, no fly by night - install today gone tomorrow type of business. 97 pct of their business is windows. i think their price is high but they seem honest about their business. BBB has them with every/any issue solved completely. BBB since 1975.
