Andersen makes a good window, just like Marvin. My wife and I had Andersen windows but switched to Marvin 3 years ago. Half are wood frames, half have cladding on the outside. None of our windows have had any issues thus far. We ended up going with the Marvins because we liked their woodwork better (they use solid wood that is better for staining). Also, Marvin was more amenable to the custom work we needed done.
I have no idea about Andersen’s customer service, but one of our friends had to have a Marvin rep come out over an issue on a big remodel a few years back. They were happy with how the company handled it — came when he said he would and stayed to work out the issues with the contractor and architect. In the end, they got everything looking good and were satisfied.
When I was researching companies, I did look at Pella but was not impressed with their woodwork (at least at the price point). I tried to enjoy the research process (possibly because the outcome was positive) and we got exactly what we wanted.

I was completely satisfied with our Infinity windows. They are (nearly) as beautiful as our outdated 1930s style wood double hungs. They look great and the workmanship on these fiberglass windows is top-of-the-line. I love the idea that they look almost as good as wood, with the great strength of fiberglass, high energy efficiency and they are almost maintenance free.
I went with the divided light grids for the interior and exterior and was very impressed with the price. The installation went very smoothly (Marvin did the install for us) and there wasn’t any damage or scratches to the interior woodwork (which was my big concern on the replacements).

I’ve install just about every major window brand over the years — recently installed nearly $100K in Marvin windows for a beautiful custom remodel in Southern California. The windows turned out great – the homeowner wanted all the upgrades, satin nickel harware, high end glazing, tinting, prefinished interior, interior and exterior grilles — Marvin sent 2 of their reps to inspect the install (which I appreciated), they made a report to document any warranty issues. My own take on it is that they get to hand hold big clients and protect themselves from warranty claims by documenting everything, but I could just be cynical. All things being equal, basically if you have the money (which accounts for a small fraction of my customers), I’d recommend going with Marvin. I would also recommend Kolbe & Kolbe.
