Thank you, I imagine this route is cheaper as well as a contractor will add their own up charge. Do you recall what style window you went with?

We live in a 1920s house and need to replace our original windows (already looked at restoration and want to compare costs, timelines,etc. . ). Given the price point of the house, we aren’t interested in vinyl windows, thinking either all wood, or wood with composite on outside. I am interested in getting quotes for Anderson, Martin, and maybe Pella.

Do I just go to the local dealers for these brands or do I use a contractor? What questions should I be asking? What model line is usually sufficient?
