Window upgrade questions/pricing....(Andersen 400, Integrity)
Comments (2)The Marvins are normally cheaper than the 400s around here. The 400 is a solidly built window in my opinion. Depending on what you are needing, there are options beyond just those you mentioned and perhaps they might be worth looking into....See MoreExterior Curb Appeal and Window Design
Comments (12)So, I have a lot of window trim that is rotted and literally crumbling. The windows themselves also look pretty bad (the left two won't close all of the way even though i've tried to relock them). The front of the house just bakes from the sun and our AC bill in the summer is ridiculous despite the fact that we have new HVAC systems and proper attic insulation. So, if i'm going to have to replace a lot of the trim anyway, it seems to make sense to do it all at the same time. Capping the new windows and replacing rotten trim is included in the price. I've run the numbers and it's about the same cost to keep the current number of windows or change to taller/fewer number of windows. I can't figure out which will look better.

Wood windows last hundreds of years with proper upkeep, IDK about windows manufactured when your house was built, though....See MoreExterior design help with black windows
Comments (8)I would lose the shutters and just let the house be modern. The casement windows, massing, and the whole gable end are not traditional at all. At that point black windows with grey siding would work well, I would paint the window trim black as well...See Morechiflipper
