Has any one ever done business with a company called "Windows USA" who instals and sells Alaskan? Vinyl Windows. A man came to our house offering a check for $100 just to allow him to demonstrate the product. The sales man showed us the product and after estimating the cost of the project at $12,658 we decided we did not want it. So eventfully the estimate got down to $8,610 but we still didn't want to pay that much for replacement windows. Eventfully the sales man got on the phone with the company management the price was again reduced to $5195. For this we felt like we had a deal and with the sales man in our house for four hours we wanted him to leave. We knew replacement windows were a way to raise the equity in our home which seems like a good idea but now that we have signed a contract and had time to think things over, we are suspicious. There are numerous typos in the paper work and we can not seem to find the company on the internet at all which seems strange. I need to know if any one has done business with this company and if they were satisfied with the results.

What are the best type of replacement windows? I'm replacing four double hung windows. Vinyl, direct from a local manufacturer will cost < $1500 installed. A well known international company will charge $5000 for the same windows but with metal clad exterior and pine interiors. The less expensive have a grill between the glass panes, the pricier ones have a removable wooden grill that looks far better and won't compromise the look of the front of the house. Both are virtually maintenance free. Any advice? Thanks.

If you were buying a victorian home- would your prefer old or new windows? Also the previous owner replaced 4 of the old windows with vinyl replacement and 3 of them have cracked because they weren't installed correctly. The estimated cost to replace all the windows is around $17,000. Would it really be worth it? The current windows are in good shape, though they could use some minor repairs to chains and need a few stops to be replaced. Is it worth the time and effort to fix repair/remove the paint, or not worth the hassle and buy new vinyl windows. My other issue is the way the vinyl windows will look on the exterior since they can't be painted, and the victorian trim. Efficiency isn't a problem with them. My heating and electric bills are actually quite cheap compared to some people, and my home with the 42 windows that it has is actually warmer in the winter months than a friends home that is a row and has new windows.
