That is a fair price. But first, check references and do inspect prior work. Talk to past customers. Michael

I have decided to go the full frame replacement. I have been looking at various types of sill pan flashing. One product that I like (at least the idea behind it) is the Protectowrap Sill Pan Drainage System. It is installed over flexible membrame flashing and it is layer of sloped foam covered in a water wicking material designed to draw any moisture into the flashing and away from the interior of the structure or so it seems. Most methods I have read about use either a metal sill pan, liquid flashing or flexible membrane. The Sill Pan Drainage System seems like an added bit of security assuming your initial flashing and window sealing is done properly. My question is: Is it worth it? I got a quote for 100' (of which I will likely need about 50') for just shy of $250. Most flexible membrane flashing and liquid flashing is about $40-60 for 50-75' depending on width. Any thoughts or perhaps other practical ideas for making the best possible water tight/ optimal draining sill pan? I'm not trying to be cheap, just practical. This product must be special ordered whereas most of the other protecto wrap products can be bought off the shelf leading me to believe that the Sill Pan Drainage System is not commonly used in my area ( Austin TX) either because it is not needed or due to cost or better alternatives .

We're in OC and went with Milgard anodized aluminum for our remodel. Not quite two years in, we discovered a big crack in the crank base. Waiting to find out if Milgard will step up and replace. One of the reasons we went with Milgard was their lifetime warranty. Sure hope they don't try to wiggle out of it! p.s. otherwise these windows have been fine!

I may have been misleading: I sell vinyl windows with black paint or laminate exteriors (Polaris) and they perform really well. I was more saying that there are some brands that have had issues with the black exterior. I still prefer the Marvin fiberglass if it's in the budget (nothing against Polaris as they are an excellent vinyl window).
