I'm half way through doing our windows. Couldn't afford to do all at once. Especially with 5 picture windows total.
Windows are expensive. I had an issue with the UV coating on the windows in my house failing. Luckily I had a lifetime warranty. mtmuley

If i had went with pella it would have been 1/3 of what I paid for the house. Literally. I went to the local lumber supply store and got anderson windows at a decent price.And i'm learning to do the install myself. Still almost thirty grand in glass.

Yep. It can be extreme. Current project that I am on has 1.3 million in windows. Not a commercial building either. Residential. mtmuley

I believe it.
They are built down Ken's way in Austin, Texas. Doors are way spendy too. mtmuley

If you can Ken I'd suggest taking your measurements and pricing windows u ourself. Then seeing if you can find an installer separately. From all the shopping around I did most guys are marking up the window big time on you. I saved a lot that way, like $20k. (I paid someone to install the first ten). Now I'm doing the rest. (So far anyway).
Keep on

It isn't just windows, replaced my front door last week, double sidelight unit. We picked out the one we liked the best to start and just about choked on the price. What we settled on is still a nice door, but way past what I would consider reasonable for one. Guess I'm getting to be a grumpy old man earlier than expected.
Wish I was closer. I work for beer. mtmuley

We went with all pella doors and windows in our new house a few years back. That hurt.
Replaced 11 mobilehome windows this year.
Anderson wanted $35k. Pella $32k. Distance from shop. Pricey.
I went with NM ma & pa shop and got them for $14k installed. One day. Made a big difference in heat and cooling this summer.
I used to build windows and doors for my homes and several customers. Can't come close in just materials.
I'll install Lowes doors next year myself. Buying soon while I can still get them.

I’ve been working a lot of OT to fund a window install here in a few weeks.

A few searches on the web this morning & my FB feed & phone is blowing up. Hence the ping reference.
Sames, except it’s moving trucks/Pods searching for me.
