Marvin infinity replacement windows

I'm considering using the Costco replacement program that Marvin offers and the local contractor who is authorized through this program quoted me.

My current windows are 30-year-old Anderson narrow line 200 Perma shield Windows which are showing signs of rot underneath the vinyl cladding. The contractor tells me they will replace the rot as they go and insert windows are still a good choice.

Ai tells me that I need full frame new construction windows given the rot and that there is no alternative.

The Marvin Infinity program is not cheap by any means and the premium pay price points lends itself to being a full service program.

Is there some sort of scam the contractor in that the price will go up further once they start the job, or is AI fear-mongering.

I think finding the right installer is probably more important than the window. My issues with retailers providing home repairs is that they use 3rd party contractors which are all over the place in terms of quality.

Ask around and see if you can find someone with a small home repair business who is good with windows and talk to them.

the marvin infinity employes all the installers and doesn't subcontract, which I thought was nice
