Marvin Window & Door Store

I’m currently in the beginning stages of planning an attic conversion with my boyfriend, and what a better way to make it feel more like a second floor than an attic than with sky lights, right?
We have been searching online, and been to Home Depot and Lowes — but thought it might be nice to try to shop local and find some businesses around town that we could buy from, so we stopped in here after finding it online.
We came in from the back way somehow, and I’m not sure if it’s even visible from Manchester, as I’ve never seen the sign for it, yet it’s super close to my house.
The selection was pretty nice, they had a big showroom with all kinds of windows and doors. The salesman who helped us out was extremely friendly and knowledgeable about the skylights we were asking about, and explained the different sizes, the different mounts, etc. When we got down to it, and received our quote, however, the story changed a bit.
Just for the raw materials (the window itself and the flashing that goes around it on the roof) — the cost was way, WAY more than the same exact options and same exact manufacturer as we researched at Home Depot. We expected them to be a little more expensive, but the cost was way too much to justify buying. I really want to support local businesses, but in this case, the price just wasn’t worth it — I have a living to make, too! And definitely can’t be done when buying the same things for a huge markup… sorry Marvin Windows!
