I think Jeld-wen manufactures a quality window, 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. But overall, I feel they are a good company. Certainly, they are one of the big ones out there, which isn’t always a good thing. Jeld-wen seems to stand behind their windows though.
They manufcture at least 6 vinyl and wood window series and each series has roughly 6 window types to choose from. Each specific series and type embody unique design principals that can play into the install and specifics. At the end of the day, I would recommend them as long as the installer is thorough and competent.

I purchased 1 bay from Jeld Wenn and they installed it and within a few days the wood began to blister. I called and requested a company rep come out to take a look and they insisted I first send pictures, which I did. They told me that the it must have gotten wet before installation (which it didn’t) and then blamed the installation. However, the installation was spot on, installed to the instruction tee so that argument didn’t work. After some back and forth, the company finally agreed to replace the window but that I would have to cover the window installation cost because they know the window was fine when they shipped it out — grrrrr! This company doesn’t stand behind their windows.

Jeld-wen specializes in builder grade windows, although they offer the Custom and Siteline series for residential and homeowners. They make well made products with good features and options. I’d put their high end stuff at the same level as Marvin’s Ultimate series. The siteline is the middle of the road window, which is just OK. I’d stick with the Custom and make sure the installation is understood by whoever does the install and is followed properly.

If the choice is between Marvin Integrity Wood Ultrex (fibergalss) and Jeld-wen Siteline EX (aluminum clad), I’d go with the Marvin. The extruded aluminum is rolled right against the wood (no gap between the materials) – the company claims it is superior to Pella in terms of denting, which it might be but because of how the aluminum is rolled on it doesn’t allow water to escape if it gets in. I like the Ultrex fiberglass option over the aluminum.
