Good Replacement Windows

We are in an old house, 1914 and are looking into have the windows replaced. We have a couple quotes on aluminum clad wood windows, and of course it is pricey. Mostly because of the installation...they are talking about going down to the rough window opening and removing/replacing the interior sills and trim. We are searching for a company that makes a true replacement window, someone told me to look into Loewen....my question is...has anyone done a job like this, and how do you know what a "good" window is? There are so many brands and companies...

Re: Good Replacement Windows

It all depends on what you want. If you want a good, inexpensive window and don't mind vinyl or wood-look windows, check out Simonton. They make a true replacement window, any size you want. The cost will be more with any window if you replace the sills and trim. But, do you need to. If they are in good shape, don't replace them. Any good carpenter can remove these for window replacement without any problem and reinstall them.
