Day 1: Researching Windows

We visited friends' houses and even looked at local open houses here in Ventura County in order to do research on what kind of windows we wanted. We quickly decided that we wanted vinyl windows, but needed to do more research to choose a brand. The Consumer Reports window rankings and ratings were helpful. We also consulted with a friend who is a contractor. He told us that Milgard was a popular and good quality brand. We needed 10 windows and 2 sliding glass doors, so we needed to choose a brand that would fit our budget.
