Need a Marvin window installer
I'm buying a Marvin clad window to replace a very old broken one. Truitt and White only has one recommendation of someone who was experienced in Marvin installation and had done the Marvin training. He lives in Marin and I'm scared to hear how much it'll cost. Looking to get more than one bid. Thanks!

We just installed phase I of our total window replacement in our small Berkeley stucco bungalow. We are installing all Marvin windows with the exception of the bathroom and bought them through T&W. Our installer is great and has lots of experience. His rates are fair and he has (so far) only asked for progress payments (no surprises). His name is Troy Wilson (Wilson construction). We got his name from a list from our T&W salesperson (Gary Nosti). I'm sure lots of other GCs around here have Marvin experience. FWIW, our installs are a mix of inserts and "new construction" - breaking stucco, re-flashing, repairing any framing, etc.
We're in the process right now with Carol at Winning Windows. Their quote was more reasonable than others. Our project includes Marvin clad. They haven't done the install yet, so I cannot speak to that.
Their telephone is tel:510-338-1234
good luck!

I have hired T. Russell Jones to install some Marvin windows and he does a fine, thorough job. Installing a new window in an existing opening is the same as installing a new door. It can sometime be quite time consuming as the opening may have shifted over time and the new one has to be adjusted to fit properly. New window installation is not inexpensive as it can be a lot of work. Call Jones and ask him for a bid as he might be less costly than the person from Marin. His number is: 925-960-0500.
We also used T. Russell Jones to install all of our (over 40!!) Marvin windows, but we were his last job before he retired and moved out of the Bay Area :-(
