We have received several estimates and the windows them selves seem to be very similar. The biggest difference is going to be the installation.
I live in North Texas so weather is not as extreme as elsewhere. We have hot summers and some what cool/cold winters. What are the things I need to be watching for when they install my windows? Do they need to put insulation around the frame or is chalk sufficient? I have never installed windows before so I really do not know what to look for.

Check out Progressive Windows here in my town. My recently purchased house has them and I had to buy a few more to go in the addition. Haven't had them long enough to make a first hand judgement but they get rave reviews around here and have some nice choices. They make them right here and I'm fairly certain they would travel to your location since you're just in the D-TX area. Not cheap by the way.
