Reno Rehab Materials (Windows!)

[Wesley Pittman]

Hello,

I'm fixing up a duplex property I recently acquired, and the big decision right now is what windows to put it. It has old single-panes, and I have received two wildly different quotes on windows. Both included installation and had a magnitude of difference in cost- about $4,000 to be exact!

One of the quotes was for "Brothers" windows and the other was using "Milgard" windows. For any of the folks experienced in flipping, "redeveloping" (@Michael S. Helton :), or rehabbing rentals they've purchased, what's your opinion on window quality and specific brands? By all accounts the Brothers windows do seem better; I'm just not convinced they're $4,000 better...

Thanks,

Wes

@Wesley Pittman And do not forget that when you spend more than $5k at Home Depot you can go to the Pro desk and have them get the best price.  And Google "how to hack home depot gift cards" to save more money buying Home Depot cards and using them to pay for the purchase for additional savings.

@Tim Farrell Wow...that's a big difference, lol.
