My daughter had all her windows in her home replaced by
House Beautiful Improvement and Contracting Company.
Speak to Irv Kramer - 521-7758.  They did a great job, and
even custom-made a very large window for her.  I know
Irv Kramer personally, and I am sure he will do a good job
for you and his prices seem in line with others, and
reasonable.  Mention my name to him, maybe it will carry some
weight.

Dave,
  I've got Pella replacement windows on my house.  They're great
but also very expensive.  Considered the Cadillac of the replacement
window industry.  If you are not in the market for Cadillacs, may
I suggest TRACO windows, which are manufactured here in Pittsburgh
(TRACO stands for "Three Rivers Aluminum Company").  A contractor
friend says they are very good and reasonably priced.  Stay away from
Andersen windows.  I've got some of those on my house and, despite their
nice TV adds, I don't think they are very good quality.
