Sunrise Essentials window replacement questions
Comments (2)The Sunrise Essentials is a below average window and a terrible comparison to everything else they offer...surprisingly. Don't put the ThermaStar in a dog house in my humble opinion. The other windows out there typically thought of as premium are available in New York. I quick search of the other threads will tell you what else you can search for....See MoreSunrise windows
Comments (18)I had a guy pushing something called alpha glass and how it was the same glass astronauts use in outer spacer and how I had to be approved in order to be allowed to use it in my home. Almost implying there was a security clearance with NASA..my wife almost rolled over laughing as did I. The salesman kept referring to " the molecular level" when talking about this glass. He said if we sign a contract that night, we would be there " environmental friendly family of the year" . Of course I didn't fall for that....See MoreNeed help on Window decision-Sunrise Windows?
Comments (31)Thank you all! We are going to do the Restoration casements! Should I have any of those big trapezoid windows tempered? See picture above. My estimate does not have them listed as tempered...just some other windows that are a certain distance from the floor. Anything that I should specifically look for/have put in the contract? This is not full tear out. You guys rock for taking your time to help guide homeowners!...See MoreNeed Window Replacement Recos - Wallside vs Berkshire Elite vs Sunrise
Comments (15)Alright, got some more quotes and we've pretty much made our decision. Here's the rundown: ORIGINAL QUOTES: -Wallside Windows (local manufacturer & installer with a solid reputation): $9,000, *double* pane -Berkshire Elite from Window Universe: $10,000, triple pane, steel reinforced sashes (which I feel is probably necessary given what I've seen on here about Berkshire Elites). -Sunrise "Premium Vinyl" (Sun Home Improvement, a local, highly rated contractor): $14,000, *double* pane -Sunrise "Premium Vinyl" (Sun Home Improvement): $17,000, triple pane, FiberCore reinforced NEW QUOTES: -Sunrise "Pure Core Platinum" (Pure Energy Windows, a local, highly rated dealer): $11,600, triple pane, foam insulated frames, but no special reinforcement. -Soft-Lite Pro Series (Pro Bros, a local, highly rated contractor): $13,700, triple pane, standard pro series reinforcement. -Soft-Lite Nirvana from Zen Windows: $17,000, triple pane... blah blah blah, too expensive. VERDICT: We signed up for the Sunrise "Pure Core Platinum" from Pure Energy at $11,600 (though I have 3 days to back out if I need to... but I'd rather not). This seems like a good price point for a good window that'll still hold up if we stay longer than our 5-8 year expectation. Highly rated dealer/installer, 50 year fully transferrable warranty (including accidental breakage), and after their initial in-person "pretend" first offer of $13,500, they brought it down to $11,600, which is where I wanted to end up. My final question is: Is it imperative that I go back to them asking for reinforcements of some sort? Sunrise does have something called "FiberCore" reinforcements in some of their other lines. I think the "Pure Core Platinum" is proprietary to Pure Energy, so I'm having a harder time finding exact details that allow me to compare it to others, though they tout themselves on having iUPVC vinyl that is supposedly stronger than other vinyl windows. I asked the salesman about FiberCore early on and he said their version doesn't have it, but that they have this stronger type of vinyl. Not sure what to make of that. I'll be going right by their showroom tomorrow so I could stop in and ask some more questions and get my hands on their samples again. Anything I should check out while I'm there? Thanks!...See MoreJimmy Conway
