I received a quote today to replace 3 windows. One is a 68″ x 38″ glider kitchen window; one is a 86″ x 64″ dining room bay window with 2 double hung windows surrounding a picture window; one is a 114″ x 54″ living room bow window with 5 double hung windows. The kitchen window is a normal straight installation. The dining room window will require enlarging the existing opening from 86″ x 46″ to 86″ x 64″. Since there is a deep overhang above this window, closing in the top will be uncomplicated. The living room window will require construction of a roof over the bow as there is no overhang. What was quoted was the Anderson top-of-the line window with their composite wood/polymer framing and full divided light grills on all glass surfaces. The price quoted was $22,900 for windows and installation. I was astounded at this price and wonder if I’m being ripped off. I’ve never had to do this before so I need some education. Any opinions about whether this is a fair or unfair price would be appreciated. Thanks, BeDub
