Buy Windows For Home - In November??

Looks like home sweet home is going to feel a little winter chill this year, since I've missed the boat on buying new windows this year. Sure they are still available, I just don't want my house opened up in this cold rainy weather. But there are some hot deals out there that have almost got me convinced. The worst part about waiting till spring for new windows is that I know I'll end up researching this to death, which means my wife might have a nervous breakdown. I tend to go over board when it comes to finding the best deals. Will there really be any deals on windows in spring?

Window Replacement Increases A Home's Value

According to a recent CBC artical, homeowners get an 80% ROI if they install vinyl windows.
"By replacing your current windows with more efficient vinyl or wood ones, you can save on your utility bills, attract future home buyers and net a nearly 80 per cent (vinyl) or 77 per cent (wood) return on your investment."

My Replacement Windows - Vinyl Or What?

Vinyl windows are getting popular from what I'm reading. In fact, vinyl windows are what I've been finding most companies are selling. Here's what I'm being told over and over about vinyl by the various sales guys:

- Vinyl windows are more energy efficient
- They weather better
- They cost less
- They are low maintenance

But hey, there are some really cheap (and probably low-quality) replacement windows out there, and with such a price difference these products can't all be the same.
I think these promises can only be achieved with a high quality line of vinyl windows. I hate when I realize that if I price seems too good to be true, it probably is.
