Changing Windows are the big stores too expensive ?

I need to change windows in a 2 bedroom Condo.

Just have 1 bid from one of the 2 big stores (HD and LW ). 3 windows, Florida requirements hurricane etc.. 6.000 😱😱😱😱😱 They say they are the only ones who can offer double lifetime warranty.

I called companies I found in Angies List but they say the project is too small for them. Am I stuck with this guys ? ( the 2 big stores )

Also, the guy who came to donthe bid said that the invoice can only be on my personal name and not on my Company’s name. Really ? Don’t I need the invoice to be on my company’s name for my taxes ?

I am lost 😳

Not sure I agree with your comment about not needing warranty as long as its installed properly.  


You will want some kind of warranty for sure.  Not sure what “double lifetime warranty” means.   Ive had issues with poor quality windows within 2yrs where it leaked because of poorly sealed glass.... or gas between glass caused hazing, etc.   All of which were not caused by poor installation.  Best to go with known brands... I like Milgard.  They’ve been good with honoring warranty even accidental breakage.   I’ve recently just installed Plygem windows on a flip and looks to be pretty good quality windows.
