We are currently in the midst of a whole house remodel in RI and are adding some new windows and replacing some existing. All windows will be white double hung with grilles on top only. We are swapping Anderson casements for the same (but buying new construction windows because the contractor isn't comfortable leaving the old Anderson frames with the holes from the crank in the sill, which sounds reasonable.) We had Harvey all vinyl in our last house: okay, not great, but I loved the no maintenance. I have looked at Anderson 200, Jeld Wen (but was told they were not so good), American Craftsman, and Paradigm (out of Portland, ME (they seem intersting and can come with exterior clad trim). Delivery time is definitly an issue. I'm looking for any comments or advice on these choices. My pocketbook is running low and I don't want to pick cheap windows, but I also don't want to pay a premium for a name. Help, please!!!!!!!!!!
