Has anyone here had experience with Lux or Kolbe - good or bad?

GCs typically get better deals the more business they do with a company. Windows and doors are more or less the same. Well, you get what you pay for. Think about it like buying a car. An $8,000 Hyundai and a $30,000 Honda are gonna be different. Depending on how you and your GC are doing business (construction management or lump sum?), you might just want to trust your GC and go with the company he uses the most. If he's never done business with a particular window company, his recourse is going to be a bit less if there should be any defects or something. Lux is a good company. For every GC that loves a company, there's one that hates it.
