Go with impact windows and do all windows and doors, it will quiet your house down considerably.

It’s been about 9 years IIRC, my Don Young’s (thermally broken aluminum, argon gas, dual pane, single hung if that is the correct term) were about $500 a window. So the price is 10x what I paid? Fuck all that.

Do not pay extra for Argon gas. They tell you how great it is, charge you a lot more, then use Nitrogen. Been there, seened with my own two eyes! I delivered the gases. Rarely did I ever deliver Argon. I went to all the manufacturers.
They laugh their asses off. Just another scam.

Another reason to always be a better than average neighbor .

Jim, in Lone Tree, CO.
Had gotten two estimates on window replacements.
One for $52,000.
Another for $44,000.

Then his next door neighbor offered some help.

The neighbor wrote down what to purchase, from whom,

Also how they were to be installed with what materials , and he looked over the sales and installation contracts.

Then amended both.

Jim payed $32,000.00 + tax.

The neighbor had retired from contracting three years earlier.





Safety, Situational Awareness and proficiency.
