steel pan windows need replacement
brick ranch house, about 60 yrs old. original windows are steel with steel pans (attached with metal clips to the studs).
Have been getting quotes from 6 contractors and the price is from $4500 to high of $5300. this includes cutting the steel pans off, building a wooden frame, foam insulation, alum trim outside, wooden sill inside and trim inside.
contractors act like this is impossible job to handle and i think they bid too high.
I priced basic American Crafstman windows at HD and it came out with LowE and Argon to $2400.
they quote Excalibur windows and i know they are paying less than 2k.
does $4600 seem like a good price? what do you think?
