Be sure you compare it to the similar lines in the brands that Ultra Windows referenced. That would probably be the Okna Envirostar and the Soft-Lite Elements.

Good advice above. Many factors including option content, installation circumstances, etc will dictate whether that pricing is good or not... Definitely not crazy though including that patio door, and the fact that the Vanguard is a top performer.

Thanks for the advice above.. I had another contractor out today that quoted the Sunrise line. The quote came in approx. $3,000 under the Vanguard series. The specs on the two window lines seem very similar. Can someone help me understand the difference between the Vanguard and the standard Sunrise window. I am getting at least one more quote for another manufacturer next week before making a decision.

I have received the following quotes. 15K for Vanguard, 12K for Sunrise standard, 12.5K for Wallside (Michigan company). From what I can find online, the Sunrise seems to be the best deal. Anyone have a opinion on Wallside?

The Vanguard is based on the Sunrise but "pumped up" for superior performance with a few options. Personally that would be my choice if you can swing it. In addition to being a superior window, an "exclusive" like the Vanguard is reserved for elite level dealers, where a base Sunrise can be purchased by almost anyone in most locations. Maybe that is the case here or maybe not, but getting a superior installation from a more reputable company would definitely be worth a premium price if that is the case... Or if the Sunrise guy happens to seem like the more trustworthy company then pocket the $3k! lol

Thanks! I'm leaning towards the Sunrise dealer. Can you tell what is "pumped up" on the Vanguard window. I have searched and can't find a clear distinction between the two windows.
