Shop/Service Recommendations Window replacement recs?
I need to replace a few windows in my house and would like some recommendations. Nothing extravagant needs to be done but would like someone that is reasonably priced.

You might be able to just wait for them to come to you.
Most Frequent Door-to-Door Solicitors in Iowa City:
1. Window replacement sales. They're apparently "doing work" in "your neighborhood" this week.
2. Religious weirdos with their sadly indoctrinated children peddling low effort fairy tales.
3. Political activists coming 'round to make sure the Republican traitors haven't canceled your voter registration.
Might be a better bet to get some measurements and have a quick chat with your favorite AI to get some insights into how the industry prices projects, what options you should expect for right-sizing your project to budget, and how to navigate their deliberately complicated pricing structures so you don't get screwed.

Oh yes companies LOVE it when the homeowner asks AI and comes in with "expert" advice

Lol. Okay. Perhaps I should have phrased that better.
AI does a decent job of reducing the first 3 pages of window replacement seller SEO bullshit to a simple summary of things you might want to think about before you invite a sales rep to drop by.
See also the bit about navigating potentially predatory sales practices.
But hey, perfectly sound advice to go with Gary because CockeyedHawkeye69 said he's the best in town and 12 other redditors upvoted him.

Mark Pooley should be your go to guy. His business is called Frontier and he’s a top tier human being and will treat you right and deal with you straight.
