Buying new windows for a home

Those are ridiculous prices!  I am sure someone can recommend options for you!

Thats what I thought. The slider is 8ft so I can see paying that, but the windows are too much. Id like to find crank outs.

Hi , that sounds way too much. , I’m in puerto plata and I had a quote for sliders and the guy said $500 also , so that’s sounds good , but you have to be careful with the material , tell the guy you don’t want the flimsy aluminum you want the thick sturdy aluminum , my neighbor bought sliders and they were so cheap you could almost pull them off the track and when the wind blows they rattle like the single pain windows from the 1940’s so be careful , also if you have a southern exposure you might want to consider the tinted ones which I was glad I put in the bedrooms …. Looking out you can’t even tell there’s a tint but it does stop the heat from coming in   The window quote sounds why too high , I know they’ll tell you the crystal is very expensive and the materials have to be imported  , but how could it be more then the sliders ……?I mean the sliders have to be 7-8 feet also ..🤔 , I had 10 -15 windows put in by one guy and it was around $1200  , the window sizes varies ….and it didn’t really matter weather they were sliders  or crank outs ,  then i had another 10 put in in by another guy because the first man was to busy and the price was roughly the same now I don’t have the receipt with me because I’m in New York now  but I’ll try to reach out to my friends over there and see if they could find out something  , because I still need another 20 windows for the upstairs…lol  ,  I found that there are many window guys  around so shop around and tell the guy to put your sliding glass door in for yer and you’ll think about the windows for latter…… good luck 🤞

DOn't know who you are using as contractor, but my contractor,****. He just finished two homes there next to the house he build for his sister and mother and should have info for you - call him *****

I’ve had a half dozen window guys coming to my house  and been to 4 places

That makes windows and not one person could tell me where I could buy double hung windows  , and not one installer even knew what a double hung window was….. there’s only two windows that people know of  , crank out and sliders .

     I would really appreciate if anyone could tell tell me where I could find

double hung windows

I am in Moca and will be looking for windows. I see plenty of pics of new homes with the type/style of window I want but thing all mine will have to be made. Anyone know of such a place in Santiago?

All of our windows were made. We have 9 fixed panels (privacy panels in showers, high windows that are just for light), 4 horizontal sliders, 6 that tilt out, and then 7 sliding glass doors. I've never seen any double or single hung windows here.

Yeah let me import 20 double hung windows

And maybe some furniture from

Raymour & Flanigan  , oh and don’t forget the lighting……🙄

It‘s further away from Cabarete, but our neighbors got all new sliding windows with good fitting screens for very good price from a guy in Nagua. I will try and get the contact info and post it here.

Thanks everyone for the great comments. I've seen double hung windows on some of the apartment buildings, so I know that they have them in the Dominican.

I can’t even find a window installer that ever saw one……

Double hung windows allow for more flexibility in controlling the air flow so definitely a plus...please let us know if you find a supplier!

I still haven‘t gotten the number! Working on it!

   Yes I agree the double hung is a superior

Window ……. Let me know when you find them………

This is the place where a bunch of us Cabrera Expats also got our doors and louvered security windows (that have steel bars built into the louvered glass panes…and were inadvertently tested with my 6’4“ husband crashing a ladder directly onto a louvered pane and it came away without so much as a ding…which sadly wasn’t the case for my husband…😜) But they have been excellent in terms of exact measurements, etc. And they make normal slider.
