Amerimax

I like the Amerimax vinyl window because they have the AAMA color certification – unlike most vinyls. They won’t take on a yellow tint over time…

» Amerimax Windows Reviews

AMSCO

Amsco has no labor warranty for their products, meaning their delears are responsible for installation or product issues. The way I understand it, AMSCO gives their dealers a small sales percentage that goes towards warranty issues…

American Craftsman

If you’re after a bargain window then American Craftsman is a good choice. I have fifteen years’ experience with these windows and they have good customer service and a decent warranty. Don’t go with anything below the 8500 series and you’ll be alright…

Andersen

Andersen is one of the largest manufacturers and makes tons of product lines, including their 200, 400 series and architectural line. They make a good (and expensive) product that is top quality.

Anlin

I do all of my work on the East Coast so I personally am unfamiliar with their lines, but from all of the reviews I have seen, they are quite well regarded. Anlin manufacturer only on the West Coast…

Apex

I am in the process of replacing some of the windows in my home and had the Apex salesman here to give me a quote. They can in reasonably priced, in my opinion…

Atrium

I currently work as an installer and do lots of Atriums so I’m probably biased, but I have had solid results. I would put them on the same level as Simontons. Atrium makes their own vinyl and…

BF Rich

We chose BF Rich and I can’t say I am sorry that we did. The sales representative was highly professional and easy to work with. They replaced two openings in the kitchen, one in the bathroom and a few others…

Overall, I am thrilled with the service we received, they are excellent quality and the lifetime guarantee is a huge bonus…

CertainTeed

I have been a builder for over a decade and built countless homes over the years. When I decided to build my home (one that I had hoped to live in for many years), I did lots of research and obviously had some experience with companies like Certainteed. We decided to go with…

Champion

The Good: Champion makes a solid product, nothing fancy or technologically out of this world (double glazed, intercept spacers) but good. They provide a solid warranty and in general…now for the bad…

Crestline

We had them put into our old house, but we didn’t get the vinyl inserts. I was happy with them. The windows at our new house are the vinyl kind and they’re garbage. The Crestlines never gave us any problems and we had them for 12 years. The old one have had all kinds of moisture inside and the people who make those keep saying that there’s supposed to be moisture and that’s how you know they’re working.

Crystal

I have these in my new house and I’ve been really happy with them. I went with the energy efficiency package, and also got the lifetime warranty. I will qualify for a tax credit and have lower energy bills than in my older, much smaller house…

Don Young

Don Young makes a great thermally-broken aluminum window – especially their single hung. If the windows are large, I’d go aluminum without a doubt. If they are smaller than say 36″ by 72″, then vinyl windows should certainly be in the mix…

Eagle

The only time I’ve ever seen anything go wrong was when the installer made a mistake. Sometimes, they’ll try to blame it on the window but I can usually tell. If they have a problem and there’s a leak somewhere or it’s drafty, it was usually the installation…

Ellison

There is a new Ellison model available, which is also manufactured by Atrium, except they are better when it comes to pricing, so I am looking forward to giving them a try as they look similar to the Atriums…

Four Seasons

I purchased a Four Seasons sunroom back in 2008 and it came with a five-year guarantee and cost something in the neighborhood of $20,000. This included lots of upgrades such as triple pane glass and gluelam beams. For the first seven years, the sunroom has performed perfectly. This winter, however..

Gerkin

I’m somewhat familiar with Gerkin vinyl windows, although I’ve only installed their casement vinyls. These are built well with good numbers for air infiltration — the biggest downside is their lack of color and glass options…

Gilkey

It’s been almost a year since we got ours. The gas bill did go down by almost a third but they are so fiddly. Sometimes I have to open and shut them several times to stop the whistling where some air is getting through. I also had problems with the installers…

Gorell

Gorell did make a very good vinyl product – start out seeing the 5100 and then take a look at the Gorell 5300 series for comparison purposes (both offer good value).

Great Lakes

I used to work for Pella so I was leaning towards getting them when it came time to replace mine. I have a trusted contractor who I am already going with so I am a bit torn because he highly recommended Great Lakes windows

Harvey

I would say Harvey is a decent mid range vinyl manufacturer. I would also say that their lower end vinyls are not very good, especially in the past. I think the Harvey Classic and Tribute are quite nice looking…

» Opinions On Harvey

Hayfield

Hayfield and Gerkin are both good options, so you can’t go wrong whichever you choose. My recommendation would be to go and look at both products in person and make your decision from there. I know the Hayfield sliders are single sliders, I am not sure what Gerkin offers…

» Opinions On Hayfield

Hurd

The new Hurd windows are much better than the Andersens as far as I’m concerned. In fact, the head engineer for Andersen is now in charge of the R&D program for Hurd, which definitely went through some problems in the past but now they are…

Jeld Wen

I think Jeld-wen manufactures a quality product, however their installation instructions are geared towards new construction or builders and not so much for replacements or inserts. I’d recommend that homeowners take a good hard look at who is doing their install…

Joyce

They took over Graef, a few years ago and are based out of Berea Ohio. They make a decent vinyl product, I would say it is a solid mid grade manufacturer. I don’t think I have actually installed any of these per se, but have handled tons of jobs that used Graef…

Kolbe

I recommend Kolbe to all my clients. When speaking to other installers, they all agree that Kolbe are the way to go, even though Pella does have a good reputation. Personally I think Kolbe have improved customer services and they are a better quality window.

I’m a contractor and have installed them for over 10 years — mainly the thermopane with wood interiors and metal clad exteriors. I have probably installed over a 1000 of them and honestly have had only minor issues on several…

I sell Marvin and Loewen windows and honestly I like them both. Loewen is the smaller company of the two and uses exclusively dealers and distributors to sell their products. This means that consumers need to research the dealer…

MI

My home has 15 yr old MI & I was impressed with how they stood behind the warranty – in fact, it was better than many other companies I’ve dealt with. Turns out that lots of builders “buy down” the MI window warranty is cheaper for them and…

Okna

I agree that the Okna 800 is at the top of the heap in terms of best consumer products on the market and would list it among the top 4. I would put the Okna window solidly over the Simonton in general…

PGT

I don’t think they’re very well known in a lot of places but PGT is pretty popular down in Florida. They kind of broke out in the late 90s. Their biggest sellers are the hurricane impacts. That’s a big deal here with the risk of storms every year. They have standard products also, but they aren’t as common in Florida. I work with a lot of different brands and PGT makes a good frame.

Ply Gem

Our Ply Gems are very solid. We ordered their 18 of their Pro Series and installed an outswinging French door. Before buying, I went to their production warehouse and checked out all of the products firsthand. Ply Gem was very helpful and…

Polaris

I have a lot of experience with Polaris and feel their UltraWeld is a great window. When it comes to bay and bows, Polaris is the best, even when you compare them to known brands such as Simonton. Their energy efficiency is excellent, they are visually appealing and have good performance numbers.

We went with the Reliabilt Survivor 7100 range and placed the order last week. Looking at consumer report comparisons, the Reliabilt 5600 series is considered one of the top vinyl windows

Renewal By Andersen

Each Renewal By Andersen is a franchise, meaning that the one in your town or city is privately owned and operated. You aren’t able to walk into a Lowes or Home Depot and buy RBA — these stores only carry the standard Andersens. Andersen sets standards and provides training to the franchisee, but you are purchasing Renewals from the franchise owner…

Republic

These have held up pretty well. We haven’t had any problems. They’re really sturdy and they look nice too. When we pressure washed the house a few months ago, the older ones had some leaks but the Republics didn’t give us any problems at all. ..
