We recently purchased a home that has original windows (the house was built in the early 90's) and they are deteriorating and showing signs of rot. We will have to replace all of the windows in the home. We are planning to spread this project over the course of 3 years. MEI did the first round of window replacements for us this summer.
Everything went very smoothly. They have a big showroom and that was very nice because it allowed us to see all of the different window options side by side. We decided to go with Lindsay/Pinnacle windows and also one Weather shield window. We probably would have done all Lindsay windows, but Weathershield had a finish that was a better match for the trim finishes in our basement. We decided to go with Lindsay mostly because of the lifetime transferable warranty, quality, and also the fact that they are a local company. We found MEI through Ryan at My 3 Quotes (his service is awesome to help find the lowest cost contractors for window replacement and he manages the project for you from beginning to end; www.getmy3quotes.com) and we were pleased with their responsiveness and professionalism. They also have a lifetime warranty on their labor! We plan to use them next year for "phase two" of replacing our additional windows. Windows are a (shockingly) huge expense and I did a LOT of research to find the best quality for our money and i feel that we got a great value from MEI.
