Question RE Anderson and Marvin Insert Windows

19 years ago

We are shopping for the replacement windows and down to Anderson and Marvin Insert Windows. Both are made of fiber glass or similar material. The prices we got for them are around $15000 for 16 windows. Are they reasonable? We went to homedepot and found an Anderson new construction window is around $500, adding the installation fee. Why the insert windows are more expensive?

Also, has anyone bought the Anderson and Marvin insert windows and installed the windows himself? Is that possible?

I don't think the Andersen replacement windows are sold to the public, only to certain contractors.

Andersen Renewal windows are only installed by authorized Andersen Renewal contractors, and boy are they high priced for what they are. They were double of the quote for the windows I went with a local company with an excellent reputation in Columbus,Ohio (Rosati windows) The Andersen quote was over $9,000 and Rosati was a little over $4600 IIRC. So I went with the local company. the windows are built like tanks. They did an excellent install and i have had no problems with them.
