If you get a quote for $15K, I need the name. I've been getting quotes for replacing my screens with double-pane windows, and the quotes have ranged from $17K to $37K, for the exact same thing -- most of them, the same brand of windows! They want 30% down and the only thing they will promise about when it will be done is that it won't be before September.
One guy told me it would take 6 weeks just for the permits, and then he would come out and frame up the windows in aluminum. At that point, a different guy would measure the openings (again) and order the windows, which would be ANOTHER 12 weeks. And THEN they would put me on the schedule to get them installed! And he wanted $37K for the privilege of leaving my lanai wide open all summer.
I'm about ready to give up and try again next year.
