What is "fair" ?

How many windows? Doors too?

What helps make the decision?
Professional, organized and some reputation?
or
Craig's list's first available willing to work candidate?
or
A friends good ole boy network whenever they can get to it?

Licensed contractor that has the skills to offer quality installation which will involve sill ,siding, trim removal and replacement using windows that have good warranty at a fair price. Pretty much what anyone hopes for when spending their money. Oh bonus if said contractor smokes herb and is will to trade some labor for some homegrown. Yes I know this isn't far from a pipe dream but damnit people need to dream! ;)

I stopped to pick up rent from a few students...I have some new ones from Nigeria...They had not figured out how to turn the heat on yet...It was below 50F degrees in their apartment, and we have had several nights down to 30F or below....Brrrrr I showed him how to operate the thermostat, and a big smile came across his face when heat started coming out the registers....lol I had showed his room mate last month but there's a bit of a language barrier I guess. Great people though... friendly, clean, polite, here working on their masters degrees.
And no longer have to spend their nights shivering!

We did an entire upgrade on our house - all new windows, doors, skylights, tyvec, siding, blown in insulation ~ etc. brought us up to 4.5 stars.
Well worth the expense.
Look into a state/fed rebate for the work, AK gave us almost 9K back.
