I want to get the windows in my house replaced - they leak so much I might as well be using sheets of plastic.
I got quotes from Pella (ProLine) and Home Depot (6500 series). I was surprised because the quotes weren't that different ($5400 for Pella and $4700 for Home Depot). I was very impressed with the home depot pitch and estimate - they seemed eager, almost desperate for my business. The Pella experience wasn't so great - they came out to my house to do the measurements and then asked me to come to the showroom, which is pretty far away and I don't really have time.
I do have my reservations about Home Depot because of my experience shopping in their stores, but I wonder if it might be better now.
Any thoughts on the difference in quality between these two types of windows? They seemed pretty comparable to me, but I don't know much. Both seem like high quality, efficient windows; I'm not really sure if I lean one way or the other. The one thing about Pella is it's such a good brand name I wonder if it might help to have Pella windows when I sell my house sometime down the line.
