Got a quote for replacement windows

[HeroOfPellinor]

For 10 Anlin dual-pane windows with low-E windows and 1 Anlin patio door installed by a more professional company in the Sacramento area: $5300. Windows are mostly 70x35 and some are smaller or larger.

Does this look like a good price?

Fair Oaks. Just moved up here a year and a half ago from the East Bay Area. I'm 27 and I wanted to buy a house and still be near civilization. 🙂 Went to Sac State for college and really liked Sac so it worked out great.

I'm going to Sac state now, and living... near sac state 🙂 It's too damn hot in the summers, though. I'll probably move back to the South Bay once I'm done with school and everything.

What kind of windows?
If you're getting good windows, that's getting close to the cost of the windows themselves, so I'm guessing your getting vinyl.

Just curious, I'm in S.FL so I don't know:

Are you likely to live there long enough to recoup the investment (through winter heat energy savings I assume)?

Is it going to boost your resale value by at least that much?

Well, Anlin windows have a 20 year transferrable warranty. That means anybody who buys the house from us within the next 20 years takes over the warranty. The installer offers lifetime warranty on the installation. Being 4 houses down from a somewhat major road means the noise dampening factor will probably boost the resale value. The energy savings won't balance out the investment for several decades, but the added resale value means you pretty much instantly recoup your investment. Besides, several of the windows were cracked already and they're singlepane aluminum windows.
