Is $9,314 to replace 6 vinyl windows a fair price?
Project Details
I am a first-time homeowner and my current aluminum windows are old, separating from the edges of the walls, and two have cracked glass. I was looking to replace them, but I'm not planning on living in this home for more than two years. I've decided to cancel this project because I found the cost too high and the "lifetime" warranty offered by Power Home Remodeling is limited and terminates upon transfer of home ownership, which makes it useless for my situation. I also haven't signed the financing agreement yet. I still need to replace the windows but will look for another company with a lower price. I am located in Houston, Texas.
