No problem with my Pella
Over the last two years I replaced all the windows in my home in MA with Pella original construction windows. Not just the replacement type.
The house is 37 years old and the windows were junk so I replaced them all.
However I ordered them from a Pella dealer. Most of the units were manufactured to the rough opening deminsions. They fit like a fine glove and were easy to install.
The are GREAT but NOT cheap. I got what I paid for and am very happy with them.
I looked at the windows at Lowes and Home Depot before I settled on the Pella. The windows supplied from the big box stores are not the same as the ones you get from a dealer. Yes you pay a premium for the dealer windows but the lack of problems was well worth it in my mind.
I had 10 single windows, one double and a 7 foot bay window in the front room. Total cost was about $7K.
I guess the moral is you get what you pay for.
Oh, I did all the tear out and installation myself with help from my son a friends for the bay window and just my son for the rest to keep the cost down.
