I am replacing windows on my house and need advice [View all]

vinyl or wood?

I can't paint vinyl can I. I have a cedar sided house that is wonderful. But I also have a particular shade of redwood for the trim. If I can't paint vinyl, then that will be a problem. I have looked at energy efficient windows at the home depot, the only place I can even think of going to see.

What do you think of the brands, particularly jeld-wen

what level of energy efficiency is best

I live in alaska and it can get down to -30.

Thank you, darlings. you are the best.
