renoseeker 0 Report post Posted October 16, 2011 for powder coated, it looks reasonable. of course, depends on the actual sq feet of the windows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You may find yourself saving quite a susbtantial amount in fact if you source and approach the contractors yourself !LOL. Sounds like you have a vendetta or something. I don't think all IDs are bloodsuckers. There are some good people around. Of course, you got to balance your needs with your budget, but saying that all IDs are out to get you is like saying all insurance agents are evil and all salespeople are corrupt.Extreme views like this is not really useful.
