My windows are manufactured and were just shipped to the Ocala warehouse so installation should be soon. My neighbor replaced his windows using Lowe's and did his own installation with the help of another guy. So figure $250-300 per window if doing yourself.
I have a set a Window World windows in one room and HD windows in the remainder. The ww ones ended up at well above the advertised price after the issues they found during installation. I suspect that this is always the case and the cost will, on average, be far above the advertised price.

Now on to quality: HD windows are better. The seals are better, more substantial. The locks are better, more solid. Now both work well. The ww experience is what drive me to HD windows, no regrets.
