Third bow window quote

[simpsongal]

This post is probably premature since I don't have the numbers, but the guy just came by.  I liked him.  This was another window company but he was a little more thorough than the first window company.  And doing a cut out for a bow window was a little more common for them than the exterior company (they  do 10-12 per year).  He said they don't have an engineer but he described the same installation process as the second company.  He said he could pull the permits for a price, but recommended we just pull the permits ourselves to save a little money.  I liked the detail he provided on the finishing work and the fact that they use a mason to cut the brick and fashion a nice ledge for a new cut out.

He uses Pella for wood windows.  I forgot to ask what they use for vinyl.  I think we're going to stop by the warehouse to take a look in person.  He wasn't salesman-like, really straightforward.  Just a good meeting.  He threw a couple rough numbers out, suggested the wood bow would probably be upwards of $9K.  So that's in the ballpark. 

He said he has a large vinyl bow in stock that was mis-ordered on another job.  It's much taller than we planned though - so you couldn't put a couch under the window.  But I'm so tempted to ask the price - he's going to sell it on Craigslist.

I'll let y'all know the numbers when they come in

Sounds like a great alternative. I can't wait to follow the process!
