I've been trying to get some quotes for replacing windows in my house, and honestly, it's driving me nuts. Every site wants my email, phone number, blood type (kidding...sorta), before they'll even give me a ballpark figure. Anyone else run into this?

Yeah, it's pretty ridiculous how guarded they are with pricing. I ran into the same thing when I was replacing windows a couple years back. Ended up just going down to a local place and chatting with someone face-to-face because the online runaround was driving me crazy. Funny thing is, once I actually talked to someone, they gave me a rough estimate right away - no email harvesting or endless spam calls afterward.

Makes me wonder if they're purposely vague online to push you into talking to a salesperson directly. Like, maybe they think once they've got you on the phone, you'll be easier to upsell or something. Anyone else think that's what's going on, or am I just being overly cynical here?
