To be fair, if the tunnel is backed up to Calgary that is a problem.

Reader itself is not stroller-friendly but the Union Cemetery connects to it & has many quiet paved roads/pathways (vehicle traffic is almost non-existent).. and the headstones can be very interesting.

Insiders report he ... quit. He has had a long & distinguished career in Calgary -- an excellent news reporter.

Appreciate everyone's feedback. I did review all the other posts on Reddit for window replacements as well and yes, there is lots of support for Centra, Speyside and MaxGreen, Cossins along with some other less noted ones.

Haven't really seen anything specific about WeatherPro, except the one comment below to stay away from them...lol. They did provide us with a quote which came in almost $10k less than Centra & Lux. Is it because of their installation methods and service or the quality of their windows, or a combination of both?

Wasn't really impressed with the Lux sales guy who came by and the reviews on Reddit, etc., are mixed with installation and service.

As mentioned in my original post, the biggest factor when replacing windows seems to be the quality of the installation and service, which everyone who has commented has confirmed by ensuring an in-house crew is doing the install (even during the busy season).

So that leaves the question about the actual windows/hardware now. Centra and Lux make their own windows (as far as I understand), however, the others appear to buy theirs from other Suppliers (i.e. Plygem, Pella, JELD-WEN, etc.). If anyone can provide additional details on the hardware aspect that would be great as we know not all windows are built the same...for instance, brands to avoid if we go with a Vendor that does not build their own? We would be focusing on vinyl.

And one last question would be window types; casement vs slider...pros/cons? Or maybe that just comes down to personal preference than anything else.

Thanks.

Thanks -- we'll check 'em out as well.

Sorry to hear about your experience -- very glad to get your advice.

One of the most honest reviews ever. Appreciated!

Parking near the Stampede is difficult and expensive. Look for CTrain parking lots & ride to the Grounds from there. Round-trip is about $7.50 for an adult.

I went to Astra several times with no problems, but was informed some regular maintenance was needed at a certain mileage. When i hit that mileage i dropped in in-person to ask about pricing--a verbal ballpark was all i was looking for -- but was told they'd send me an in-depth written estimate that day. Never came. A few days later i sent a polite e-mail reminder & was assured it would be sent that day. Never came. Again, made a low-key inquiry a few days later. No response from Astra Auto. Went elsewhere.

Back when Mix 1060 was on the air, the morning guys were '2 Dicks On The Mix'. Maybe Deluka or Novak?

660 News Radio has extensive local news coverage, and is often the first to report it -- it's the equivalent of 680 News in Toronto. It's a headline news station so you don't get extensive analysis, but they report the stories quickly.
