Alpen HPP
Alpen High Performance Products is a fiberglass window and door manufacturer that has been in business since 1981 (although their story is quite a ride). The company specializes in ultra high energy fiberglass windows and doors that are very well built and quite expensive.
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…
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. However, 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. Please note, Anlin is only available 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. Overall, 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. Honestly, 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…
Burris
Burris is based out of Carollton, Texas and the company has been in the window and door business since the early 1990s. They manufacture and sell throughout Texas, Oklahoma, and Louisiana.
Castle
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, I did lots of research and obviously had some experience with companies like Certainteed. Therefore, we decided to go with them.
Champion
The Good: Champion makes a solid product, nothing fancy or technologically out of this world (double glazed, intercept spacers) but good. All in all, they provide a solid warranty and in general.
Coastal Windows And Exteriors
Coastal Windows And Exteriors is based in Beverly, Massachusetts and has been in the business since 2010. They offer a number of home improvement services, including windows, siding, doors, and roofing. The company services all of Massachusetts and much of the southern half of New Hampshire.

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. At the end, I went with the energy efficiency package, and also got the lifetime warranty. However, I will qualify for a tax credit and have lower energy bills than in my older, much smaller house…
Crystal Pacific
Crystal Pacific has been in business since 2012, making them a relative newbie in the industry. The company is located in Riverside, California and is part of the parent company (Crystal Windows) located in New York.
Desert King
Desert King is base in Phoenix, Arizona and been in the window and door industry since 2002. Today, this installation company services Arizona, San Antonio Texas, and the greater Las Vegas market. D-K offers its customers some great window brands and patio doors.
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…
Earthwise
Earthwise is made up of more than a dozen independent manufacturers located mostly in the eastern half of the United States. The company started in 2004 and works like a co-op of sorts where the members bind together to get better pricing on parts and units.
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…
Energy One
Energy One Windows is a Texas based window and patio door installer that has been at it since 1998. EOW is direct-to-consumer (think Renewal By Andersen), meaning they use local ads and/or canvas neighborhoods as their main modes of advertising. This is as opposed to company like Okna windows that sells through local dealers and retailers. Browse below for our Energy One Windows reviews.
Feldco
Feldco is an Illinois based vinyl window and door manufacturer that has been in the fenestration industry since 1976. Truthfully, I would say their vinyl windows are decent quality overall, while their Sophia series (the company’s premium vinyl window) is a solid option for many U.S. households.

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
Unfortunately, Gorrel is no longer in business. They did make a very good vinyl product – start out seeing the 5100 and then take a look at their 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. Their lower end vinyls are not very good, especially in the past. In my opinion, the Harvey Classic and Tribute are quite nice looking…
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…
Home Depot
Home Depot is the largest big box brand in the United States, with some 2000 stores across all 50 states. HD is, not surprisingly, one of the best known brands in the United States. The company sells everything under the sun for home improvement, including replacement windows and doors.
» Home Depot Window Replacement Reviews
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…
Ideal
Ideal is located or headquartered in New Jersey and has been in the fenestration business since the 1920s. For the most part, Ideal Windows maintains a very good reputation as a high quality window brand for windows and doors. The sell the following: the Platinum 3000, Majestic, Professional, and Perfect Fit window series.
Jancor
Find out more about their products and get real homeowners opinions on whether or not the money spent was worth it.
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…
JKR
Ths Utah based company began back in 2016 and is based out of Utah. JKR does noes manufacture its own windows (like Simonton or Anlin), but is instead only the installer (still a very important part of a successful process.
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…
Kohler
Read reviews on their different offerings and find out more on lines offered, pricing and much more.
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.
Legacy
Legacy Windows is based out of Bensenville, IL and has been in business since the mid 2000s. The company specializes in European-style windows, as well as inward opening windows and doors.
Lincoln
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…
Lindsay
In the end I returned to the Lindsay Pinnacle series. I have had these windows for a while now and am so happy I chose these over any of the others on the market…
Loewen
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…

Majic Window is based in Michigan and has been in the industry since the mid 1990s. The company sells and installs fiberglass windows throughout Michigan and Ohio.
Marvin

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…
Midway
Midway is a Chicago based company that specializes in replacement window and doors throughout Illinois and several surrounding states. More specifically, Midway services Chicagoland, Illinois, Indiana, and Michigan. The company has been in business since the mid 1960s.
Milgard
I live on a busy road and two months ago installed the Milgard QuietLines (45 STC rating). They were expensive (I think I paid about $800 per, which I believe is actually a very good price), and worth every penny…
New South
NSW is a southern based window and door manufacturing and installation company that sells the iVantage and eVantage series. New South operates in many of the southern states, as well as throughout much of Texas.
Northeast Building Products
Northeast Building Products is based in Pennsylvania and has been manufacturing since the mid 1970s. The company enjoys a “fairly solid” reputation in the industry for making quality products.
» Northeast Building Products Reviews
NT
NT Windows is a Fort Worth based window, door, and sunroom manufacturer that sells their products throughout the state of Texas. Their higher end vinyl windows, specifically the Presidential and Executive series, are considered good quality options. In addition, the company’s aluminum clad series, Twinsulator, is considered a high quality unit.
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…
Paradigm
Paradigm Windows is a Portland, Maine company that has been in the vinyl business since 1981. The company sells and distributes their products through local distributors (retail window sellers and installers) in most of the Mid-Atlantic, Mid-West, and Northeastern regions of the United States.
Pella
I have had my share of problems with Pella over the years. Years ago, they dominated the higher end market, but then they went and manufactured some amazingly low end vinyls and it has hurt their reputation…

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.
Preservation Collection
Preservations are manufactured by Alside (the company name never appears on the website) and are known as the Preservation Collection (sounds fancy, right?). There are a number of “stand alone” windows like this, including the Apex Insignia II (also made by Alside). While I do like this window, it is often sold at a price point that is too high in my humble opinion.

ProVia
Our ProVia reviews page can help consumers discover if this Ohio based brand is a good option for their next replacement project.
Reliabilt
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. ..

Vistamark
Vistamark is located in Waxahachie, Texas and has been in the fenestration business since 2014. The company is young, but they seem to be a quality outfit. I would definitely lean on the installer to make sure they feel super comfortable with Vistamark before I went with them.

Vytex
Vytex look like very solid company. I believe the Potomac is their top range window. If it were up to me I would go with the Soft-Lite Imperials, because I know they offer excellent performance. If you have a HiMark dealer in your area, you may want to have a look at them before making a final decision…
