On a previous endevour to have my windows professionally replaced I had written into the contract that the exterior trim will be replaced because it was rotten. They called back a week or so AFTER the contract was signed and said they needed $200 more per window to complete the work as specified. I measured the trim it was 1 3/4" wide and 3/4" thick and per their installation agreement (not my addition) all trim would be wrapped in white vinyl coated tin. I told them no, you signed the contract you're stuck with it. She told me $200 more per window for the materials. I told her I wanted to talk with HR. At $200 per window to install a tin wrapped 2x4, I'll work for them for the $200 per window, buy the materials from my own pocket, and install it in February in shorts.

THEY cancelled the order.

I found better windows for 40% the cost and did the job myself with my fathers help in about 20 clock-hours total.
