Hi All

I need new windows and siding...the siding is so bad that it will
probably have to stripped off, and some of the plywood underneath
replaced.

A sales-rep from Home Depot came by yesterday to give me an estimate.
He seemed
honest and knowledgable. The quote he gave for the entire job wasn't
too bad either
(I've gotten a few other estimates as well).

Now the question. Can Home Depot be trusted? Are there 6500 series
windows really as good they claim them to be? Do they do a good job
installing? They say they stand behind their work, but I've heard some
horror stories. Any feedback would be most greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
tz

I'd not use them, but others have with good success. Sort of a mixed bag
from various replies here over the past few years. They use local
independent contractors. Some very good, some, well, every class has
graduates at the bottom.

The installers are just contracted by HD, they are local. Best to ask
for references of their work. If they won't give them...then you
already have your answer.

Run, don't walk to your nearest Pella dealer or store. Every sub contractor
experience I've had with H-D has been a mess. Someone posted here that only
subs that don't have much business on their own, work for HD.
My 2 cents.
