DaBella Window Costs vs. Apex Insignia
Dane, I am in St. Louis Park MN 55426 and I got pricing from Apex, DaBella and Hoffmann Weber (Provia Endure Windows).
I have to replace a bay window with 2 side single hung, 2 sliders, and 1 double hung and 2 single casement windows. I did ask for pricing for the 3 basement windows which are a single pane but only HW gave me pricing to replace those.
Debella gave me pricing for 3 windows (the bay and the 2 sliders) and it was around $15K for double pane windows, $18 if I wanted triple pane
Hoffman Weber was $20,626.64 for retro installation on everything with triple pane double hung windows (including basement replacements)
Apex gave me pricing for everything (could not give me pricing for basement replacements) and it was $10,371 for rough opening installation on 2 sliders and the bay window. $3,629 for the other 3 windows with retro installation.
The financing options and cost for the Apex are most appealing but I am curious what your thoughts are on the good/better/best windows for this area? I feel like in your reviews you didn’t give the best ratings to Insignia brand…should I be looking at another brand of window?

Emily, Apex makes a good window in the Insignia. I don't consider it to be a top tier window like the ProVia Endure, but it is still quite good. If the Apex branch has lots of good to great reviews in your area, then I would strong consider using them given the price.
Your bids aren't apples to apples so it's hard for me to give you a real solid response. I would definitely look at the company reviews to see how they stack up against one another.

DaBella Window Options in Denver Colorado
Hello again Dane,, I was thinking I will be 70 and never really thought about the fact I could be out of there in 5 years. So maybe should be more entry level.
Also, how many bids do I need. Do I get two quotes from different companies like for the Anlin? I had trouble finding a lot of them for CO. Then of course many only work in the Denver area. I hope I am not bothering you too much. Is what I have below significant?
Bluebird:: Verde Sunrise,, Anlin
Five Seasons: Amaramax, Anlin,
All Pro : Simonton ,Therma-Tru,

Ellen, your timeline in the home is fairly important. If you are only going to be in your home for five years, then spending top dollar probably does not make sense.
These are the best windows from your selections if you are going to be in your home for 10 plus years: Sunrise Verde, Anlin, Amerimax, and Kensington. All very good windows. For me, any of them would serve you well, but I would check the online reviews of the installation companies and use this as one of my data points. For instance, I checked on Bluebird and they get excellent reviews and sell the Sunrise Verde. This would be a top pick for me if it fits your timeline and budget.

[Ellen's Reply]
Thank you so very much for your reply. Should I even be doing the windows? Is it a waste of time and money? We never know what is coming up for all of us so it is a guess on my part for five years, could be longer. Some final items
Would I use the 10 plus window suggestions for the 5 year time frame.
Should I get reviews on all of the windows listed above?
Should anything be upgraded such as the glass? Or stay away from upgrades?
Would it be less expensive if I use a single hung(that is what I have now) or could sliders be used?
Thank you for your patience with me as I decide what to do. I know that I have taken a lot of your time. But I do not yet think of myself as old. My age is finally hitting me.

Ellen, I really can't tell you whether or not to do the windows, but the ROI does take a considerable amount of time. The better comfort/temperature inside your home and sound reduction is an immediate improvement.
I would quickly google "Dabella windows in [your city] Colorado" and look at the overall reviews from yelp, google, angi's list and see if you can get a consensus on how good or bad they are. Do this for each installation company.
A good low-e glass is fine in my opinion. This coes standard with any quality vinyl window these days
Sliders can be used but they are less energy efficient than single hungs. Not a huge issue though, although if you struggle with rooms being too hot or cold during summer and winter, than go with a good casment, single or double hung window.

Dabella Apex Window Quotes
Hi Dane, I live in the Seattle area.
I was just approached by Apex and here is the quote:
For 38 slides of windows + 2 sliding doors, they ask for 49,911 before tax.
After I provided my info on your website, I got contacted by two more local contractors: Debella and Harley. They will come in to give me a quote on Thursday. I will update you then.
Thanks in advance for reviewing my quote and providing suggestions.

Wynter, let me know what the other two contractors have to say. $49K before tax for 38 slides and 2 doors is not exactly cheap...

DeBella Price Quote
Hi Dane, I talked with DeBella, another provider suggested by Home Advisor. They offered Triple Pane at price of 119,200 and Double Pane at price of 66,158 for 35 windows and 2 doors. Am I going in the wrong direction? The quotes I got are higher and higher.

Sanchit, your lowest cost bid in the Sunrise Restoration is the best window of the bunch. The Champion is probably right behind this. The Sunrise Solace is the Sunrise Restoration, so they are asking $6000 more for the same window. I think the Apex Insignia is probably third on my list. Honestly, I would go with the Sunrise Restoration option. It is a fantastic window. All of the prices are close enough to tell me that this is about fair market price for this project.
