Windows in Austin

[bevocbs]

We are considering replacing our windows (there are a variety of reasons, so we don't need to have the discussion re whether energy efficiency is a good reason to replace). Are there any good showrooms in Austin (beyond the big boxes) that have a lot of different styles and brands? We haven't ruled anything out yet, so we would like to see some vinyl, aluminum, wood, and wood clad windows without having to go to 20 different places.

We would also like to talk with experts who install all of them so that we can get a more unbiased opinion about what kind is right for this area.

I didn't find any place in Austin better than big box stores when I did this search a couple of years ago. But I do know that if you want decent selection, you'll be ordering windows. So plan 6 weeks ahead. I ended up getting windows from Anderson, ordered through Home Depot.

Austin isn't a very harsh place for windows. We're not buried in snow, and don't have hurricanes. Pretty much you just want a window with decent insulation. All but the cheapest windows should qualify.

Anderson is the best.
