    Default Recommendation for a Window guy in The Springs?

    It's time to replace the windows on my house. Does anyone have contact info for a reputable window company in Colorado Springs?

    Thanks!

    For legal reasons, that's a joke.

    We used Dutch?s. Good people who stand behind their products.

    Be prepared for some serious sticker shock.

    Two years ago, after lengthy research, I settled on Window World. These are actually really good windows, but not the "best". I have zero complaints on my choice. I paid right at $8k to replace every one of my windows. I had a few changes to their standard practice/process that saved me some and cost me some. I insisted on windows with an exterior lip (non-standard on "replacement windows"). I had them install Fortiflash-style tape (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H7S0Th8g3U0) around all windows (non-standard practice). And I wanted to maintain a wood window trim whereas they cover wood trim with a vinyl trim cap (I cut/prepped/installed/caulked the replacement wood trim myself in lieu of their vinyl trim).

    Unless you have a ton of extra cash to blow I'd recommend avoiding Renewal By Anderson. Do they have excellent windows? Absolutely. But, they wanted over $50k to replace all of my windows. The cost-to-benefit between Renewal and Window World was nowhere near worth it.

    I'm perfectly fine with windows that are just "good" and not "best." Anything is a step up from what I've got at the moment.

    I've used Conservation Construction three times now and have been happy with their products. The oldest I have is a slider that's 9 years old (no leaks, seal intact, and holds heat/cold out). I'm near Boulder so not sure if they service the springs or not. Worth a look though.

    If you're ok with Home Depot windows, check out Handyman Happens here in the Springs. Good work at good prices and he's successfully done windows for me. I find window shops to be alot like gutter guard shops, they want to sit at your kitchen table while selling you on protecting the lifetime investment of your dream home.
