The Pacesetter Corp for replacement windows?

[Liz Kaiser]

Hi, I'm about to spend a LOT of money on replacement windows for my house
and wondered if anybody had info about The Pacesetter Corp. From what I've
seen it does seem like a very good quality window, but then I don't know
much about windows! Here's the stats: Argon fill, double pane, Low-E
glass, 7/8 inch insulating glass. Frame extrusions constructed of 6030 T5
aluminum alloy. Interior frame isolated from exterior frame a poured and
debridged polyurethane thermal break. Nylon pyle weather stripping.
Thirteen mil fiberglass screen.

These are double hung windows and one picture window. The cost per window
comes out to $650 or a total of $8475 for 13 windows. Any thoughts on this
would be welcome!! As I said, it's a lot of money, and I want to know I've
spent it well should I buy from them. (These are made to order, so they
fit my windows exactly. And they have a 10 year warranty.)

Thanks, Liz

While I cannot comment on the quality of their product nor the
reputation of the company, I do know their prices are very high,
typical of the "suede-shoe" type of operation. Get 2-3 more prices
from walk-in showrooms, and see if you're getting hosed here. Note
that window businesses that use the high-pressure tactics are usually
priced at double or more compared to a normal quality window
installation.
