Price Quote
Hey there Bill, first I wanted to say thanks for all of your American Craftsman windows prices page information. It seems to be more or less right on as far as what I'm seeing out there. So we recently got a bid on ten single hungs and five sliders that came out to $8700 for the American Craftsman 50 series.
Now, I know you think its not all that great of a window, but this is for a rental of mine and I'm very wary of putting alot of money into it as it is in a less than ideal location out here in Phoenix. But at that price, it's on par with what you estimated prices at, right?

Henry, that is a fair price in 2025. And yes I'm not in love with the 50 series, but I do think it has a place for rentals etc. Have you compared this with any other quotes?

Window Quotes in Florida
Bill, we’d appreciate your thoughts on several estimates we’ve received for hurricane impact windows. We’re near Merritt Island in Florida, in concrete block home that faces east. The front of the house has several large and specialty windows: a large arched picture window, two extended quarter-arch picture windows, one extended arch with a large single-hung, and another large single-hung with an arch. In the rear, we have a three-panel sliding door and a standard patio door. Throughout the rest of the home, there are eight standard windows, a French entry door, and a single swinging door. 14 windows and four doors.
We weren’t able to find a Sunrise Coastal dealer, but we did find a Soft-Lite dealer in the area, but due to the holidays they only just responded to us, so we’re undecided on whether to wait for their proposal. There are several PGT and Simonton dealers locally with strong BBB and Yelp ratings.
Finally, we did also get a bid on the American Craftsman 70 series that can be converted to an impact window according to the person who came out and gave us the bid. Their price is $32K.
The first dealer represents both PGT and Simonton. Their PGT windows prices quote came in at $36K, using all single-hung windows. The Simonton quote was $38K for all double-hung windows, though it included PGT products for the swinging door and both patio doors. They indicated they prefer PGT for patio doors. For the French entry door, they recommended ProVia at $4.7K.
The second quote came from Home Depot. They proposed all PGT products single-hung windows and all doors for $35K, including a current promotion. The PGT line is Home Depot–branded and based on the WinGuard series with some modifications. They suggested Therma-Tru doors but accidentally left them off the written estimate.
The third dealer sells Simonton and CWS and recommends Plastpro doors. We’re still waiting on their Simonton estimate due to what they described as a computer issue. Is there any added risk in going through a Home Depot contractor versus working directly with an independent dealer? Home Depot says they provide lifetime coverage on both product and labor. Thank you for your guidance.

Paul, it looks like the price quotes are all in the same basic price range so that's good - this is probably the fair market price for your project. First off, I'd probably ditch the American Craftsman 70 series for $32K - not a good long term value in my opinion compared with the other quotes.
Honestly, if this were my project, I would go with the PGT WinGuard quote, along with the ProVia doors, from the local dealer (not the Home Depot quote). This sounds like the most promising option and the one that's going to offer the best long term value in my book. Of course, this advice is predicated on the idea that the local dealers has a good to wonderful reputation for quality work.

9500 Windows Prices
Unfortunately, American Craftsman no longer makes the 9500 window series. While it did, this was the most popular window made by American Craftsman. The performance numbers were average with a U value of .32, the DP is 45 and the SHGC is .31. The AI is .12. These windows could last around twenty years when installed by a professional. Even though the window was considered mediocre by most professionals, with the right installation it could last a long time and offer good performance.
