If a "regular' vinyl window is a cheapo, we will not install it, this means we will not install the Pella vinyl windows.

If you are talking about the Pella clad replacement windows we have installed a few hundred of them. They take longer to install and they look like crap if the opening is out of square by more than 1/4".

We will not install Andersen replacement windows or for that matter any Andersen windows.

When well known window companies place their name on home center bargin vinyl windows they fail to gain my respect. I really feel sorry for the homeowners that are telling everyone they got "Andersen replacement" windows when they bought silverline with the Andersen tag. The same goes for the Pella Thermastar windows. If BMW bought Yugo and marketed it as a BMW more people would understand where I am coming from.

Once again if you are talking about the vinyl products we will not place a price tag on our integrity---once you sell it you can never get it back.

Dude, you've got to be a first-time house flipper. No way any serious GC would come on here asking these rudimentary questions. DO THE RESEARCH ON YOUR OWN!
