    A man I used to work with owns a Window World franchise. He's the preferred window installer in our area. Great product and great price IMO.

    My buddy is redoing a house and used them. They were the cheapest for him as well. They did fair work installing the windows, but were sloppy in a few places.

    You can do the window replacements yourself and save some money. They are really easy to install. I did my house a couple of years ago and saved $3000.00 and put in better windows. It took me about an hour a window.

    They are top notch. I play poker with the local owner and his son. My good buddy is a regional Manager from Pittsburgh to South of Cleveland. They do it right for a price better than most. Our windows in our camp were all Window World Windows!

    I do windows and siding on the side (Have for 10 years) and if it's too good to be true then it is. Spend the extra coin to get someone with some experience. Putting a window in a hole is easy but covering the casing to make it look right is another thing. To the untrained eye ALOT of people do good work, but I've seen some of window worlds work and to be fair some is decent and some looked like a crap. Also, look at alot of different windows, pick them up, raise lower tilt all that good stuff you'll see the difference in a cheap window and one that will be there for awhile. I've done three jobs so far this year after window world had advertised there $150 window, but then got to the homeowners house and tell them that those windows are crap and tried to sell them a higher priced window. Bait and switch.
