Lincoln windows vs. Excalibur windows
Comments (2)Thank you, they are .34 rating and they should have been .30 they are the low-e. It is too late to get the tax credit, but that is why I am going through the Attorney General's office. The contractor has come down on the price quite a bit for the windows since he knows he tried to deceive me by passing the windows off as the windows that qualified for the tax credit. I just don't know whether to keep these windows or go with the other contractor who wants to take these out and put in Excalibur which I hear are not that good of quality....See MoreSierra Pacific, Lincoln or Marvin Windows?
Comments (37)I had SP replace 3/4 of my windows about 8 years ago.. I did not like the process - buy windows, get installer, get person to paint trim inside and out. But we did it and had and have one problem - one window is wobbly when you crank in and out. Also the SP salesman was not knowledgeable and did not let us know that a slider to replace our french doors would be much smaller than opening. That was disappointing. Installer is no longer "around". We have had two seals break and they were replaced with no problem under SP warranty. Now I want to replace the other windows (above grade basement ones and a family room window that was in great shape and now should be replaced.) Well, I just don't get the "process" - they give you the name of one installer and he gives you a price for windows and install. Should I just find my own installer or use the one they "sent me". How do you check and find good contractors? Also is it important all my windows match on the outside? From the inside they will not be in the same View - but will be visible from the outside in the back.... one SP on 2nd and 3rd floor and possible a Pella or Marvin or a SP on ground/basement level. Any help would be appreciated......See MoreLincoln windows - yes or no?
Comments (3)We have Lincoln windows and they have not stood the test of time. They have expanded so they don't open, wood's rotted out, sashes broken. Our neighbor has replaced theirs also after 20 years....See MoreTimeline Windows by Lincoln ??
Comments (11)Sorry, but information like "he just started using them and is happy with them" isn't what I would rely on for long term decisions on windows. When he has used them for 10 years or more and can discuss how Lincoln Windows hold up over that period of time, what issues he has with them (and he will have issues) and how lincoln handles those issues, then he can provide you with information that you can use. Lincoln doesn't have a sterling record for durability which a cusery Google search will reveal. Softlite does have a very good reputation for quality and service. It comes down to how much money you are willing to risk. Will your contractor friend give you a written guarantee that he will provide free service to you for any issues that arise from his recommendation? Don't take my words the wrong way. I mean no offense. Just trying to give you somethng to think about before you invest a lot of money in a product that will be in your house for a very long time....See MoreM Miller
