I shopped around for windows. Strict HOA rules govern what the replacement windows should be. GSG was more expensive than Anderson followed by Pella and then Harvey. Contrary to popular belief contractor prices are actually cheaper than Lowes or Home Depot!

The original windows were Weather Shield. They were top-of-the-line in the 70's. Local contractors never heard of them. After a little searching, I found there is a distributor in Manchester. I called the distributor and gave them the info they needed to replace them. Because of the manufacturer's replacement policy, I got a great deal. The new windows were updated with the latest energy features. EnergyStar certification gave me a further discount. Glad I took this route.

You may want to look at Lohan windows. A reputable McMansion builder from I think Tuftonboro installs them in all remodels and new builds.
