I can understand how many of the people in the room felt.  At the time,
we thought that CMA had already vetted the final window vendor.  How the
window felt would have no bearing on whether we purchased them or not.
I think we all mainly wanted to know the cost of the window.

Now we know that the window vendor has not yet been selected.  Who are
the right people to have in the room to decide which window vendor and
window type to use?

Interested Homeowners - They can express their preferences
ACC - They will make a recommendation to the Board
Board members - We make the final decision (we should have a good reason
if we disagree with the ACC's recommendation)

I think this is one of those instances where we should make people feel
as included as possible.  It's similar to buying a car.

We should probably follow this process:

1. A Board or ACC member volunteers to have their windows measured for
price comparison purposes.  Since Kelli has already had her windows
measured by the first vendor, it would really be great if she could have
the other vendors measure her windows.  It would also be great if all of
the vendors could make their measurements on the same day.  This person
should share their availability with Clara.

2. Clara contacts three other vendors to provide information about our
neighborhood, explain the process, and arrange a time to get #1's
windows measured.  Heely Brown, Tiffany's vendor, and one other Marvin
Windows vendor should be contacted.

3. After the windows are measured and we can see the quotes, a date and
time is set up for all three vendors to come to the neighborhood and
present their windows and their cost, etc.  Each vendor has 20 minutes
to make a presentation with some buffer time in between.  We can then
have a discussion afterwords.  I don't think it should be the August
13th meeting, since we will need our energy to talk about the reserve
study.

4. If there is a clear choice, then we can go ahead and make a decision
on the vendor and type of window.  If not, then we can reach out to the
community for more input.

5. After a final vendor is selected, we can arrange a date and time for
them to come back and make their presentation again.  Homeowners can
sign up for a measuring appointment.  This can be at the beginning of
our September HOA meeting.

How does this sound?

Thanks,
Alex

For the sake of time, and the fact that the majority of the room on Monday
didn't seem interested in going up close to look and "feel" the windows
(ha), I think this is something the board could do on our own. Could we
pick a day/time for vendors to come and present to us? I think if we
schedule them in 20-30 minute increments, there wouldn't be an issue of
them all showing up at once. It also could let them know they have
competition.  Also if we feel we needed the community to weigh in, we can
send out photos electronically and pricing on what we have narrowed it down
to for them to vote on.

I don't disagree with having different vendors come out during the
committee meetings. It may be easier to coordinate than the staggering I
suggested.  No matter how we do this, the end result is still the same.  My
unit has 21 windows.

Thanks,

Kelli

I think it is a good idea to have at least 4 vendors come out and do
demonstrations of their windows.  We have had one so far.  Perhaps we
should pick another Marvin Windows vendor to give us a quote for
comparison.  Tiffany and Clara have two separate Anderson Window
vendors, so we can have both of them present too.  I'm not sure if it is
a good idea to have all vendors show up on the same day.

Would it be a good idea for a window vendor to come to each committee
meeting this month?  Not all attendees will see all of the
presentations, but we can collect attendee feedback after each
presentation.  Perhaps the last vendor presents at our tentative August
13th meeting.  We can then have the ACC recommend whether to standardize
on Marvin or Anderson windows and then figure out if vinyl or fiberglass
will be the material of choice.  I realize that it may be too late to
get a vendor to attend this upcoming Monday's meeting.

Did anyone get the quote from Monday's vendor?  Kelli, how many windows
does your unit have?

Thanks,
Alex

Hey Tiffany!

Thanks for looking into this Tiffany! I say get it set up for

measurements

and then a meeting. If your schedule doesn't work to let them in they

can

come to my house for measurements at least. It would be easy to have the
vendors come in during our August 13th meeting however, it would be

awkward

for each of them to sit through each other's demonstrations. Depending

on

how many vendors we can, that would have already been in a unit, we

could

stagger their start times. If everyone is on board with that thought
process for presentations we can at least tell them the 6:30-7:30pm

window

on the 13th and follow up with the specific staggered time.

Thanks,
Kelli

Board, as I mentioned I met with a window company at the inman park

fest

and am willing to set up another appointment with them to come out and
present. The company is Renewal by Anderson and I still have their
brochure. It appears they use fibrex material which is a wood fiber

blended

with polymer. They may offer other materials as well but I am not

sure.

I don't know what our meeting schedule is or if we need to set up

special

meetings to hear from these vendors but I will contact the rep and

see what

available days they have. They normally work with whatever schedule

you

give them so if we have special dates set aside for this, let me know.

Thanks Clara and Alex for looking into the windows. I would prefer to

get

the quotes on both fiberglass and vinyl as Alex suggested as well.

Perhaps

after we get feedback from three vendors in total we can make a

decision.

I'll also go on yelp to see if I can find reviews on window vendors.

I'll

also research window replacements on stucco.  I'll report back.

Thanks,

Hi Clara,

Thanks for finding another window company.  On their website, they

state

that they do Anderson vinyl windows.  Do you know if they do

fiberglass

windows as well?

Fiberglass windows will have smaller frames, which will better match

our

existing windows as well as have a longer life span.

Googling "fiberglass windows Atlanta", I happened to find the

following:

https://www.ngwindows.com/blog/4-things-that-you-should-know-about

<https://url.emailprotection.link/?aKGCu5kmwwcq5z4hFbryFo0zSFRgBxi8AkahiEFyfa3HszAXxU94i-mywcbzOn2p8SunrWo76uwkB8p7VWaa8764cbqE4AB6U_Ge-z5R6vm4uZ-xZNHS9ieRCD0JVq22g>

This is another company that sells Marvin windows in Atlanta.  I'm

not

endorsing this company, but at least we know that there is more than

one

seller of Marvin windows in Atlanta.  Should we invite this company

for

a quote as well?

Following this link, I found 3 additional Marvin windows dealers in
Atlanta:

https://www.marvin.com/find-a-dealer?brands=marvin&radius=

30&segment=residential&postal=30312&city=Atlanta&county=
Fulton%20County&stateprovince=GA

I'm not trying to endorse the Marvin window brand, but if you know of
any competing fiberglass window brands, then we're also open to

those.

I know that fiberglass windows are more expensive than vinyl

windows, so

if the same company offers both, it would be good to get a price
difference.  This will let us make an informed decision.  Also, I

really

like the laminate glass idea for homeowners who need better
soundproofing.

Thanks,
Alex

Owner and an installer will contact me on Thursday with a date to

come

out and walk a unit and measure and assess the windows. I will

follow up

with you on Thursday with that date and I will either have a Board

member

volunteer or one of our homeowners. Heely carries Anderson windows.

The

install team is the most vital part of this process - which is why

Heely

would be a good fit for us. Stucco is challenging to work with - we

don't

want to be left with Stucco issues arising from installs.
