Amerimax Windows Reviews And Prices
The Windows: The company’s Aristocrat casement is their premium series, the Craftsman Portrait is the mid range, and the Masters Grande series is their entry level. They certainly have colorful names to their products! Here are some standard hardware features on most Amerimax products 36″ or larger – super spacers, triple weatherstripping, double strength glass, tilt ins on their single hungs, brass rollers, 8 vinyl & sloped chambers, 4 weep holes and 2 cam locks.
They offer a bunch of grid options, 10 exterior frame color choices and low-e270 & argon fills on their standard glass package. The glass is a great feature as it qualifies for tax rebate, where many others require an upgrade to qualify.
Prices: Price wise, you are going to pay more for the Amerimax product, both on the windows and the doors. The doors are going to be a lot more expensive. Amerimax is also going to be harder to find dealers for their products, where Milgard is a national brand with many dealers across every section of the country. As far as windows, if neither one of these products is available or convenient, a comparable window is the Simonton 7300 or 7500.
Amerimax vs Milgard
I purchased Amerimax vinyl windows in 2015 and I absolutely love them. I also considered Certainteed, Milgard and Window World – the WW were the least amount but looked cheap.
The Amerimax were priced comparable to the Certainteeds and Milgards. Nice windows that make the house so much quieter and help with the utility bills. I would recommend the double hungs that tilt for easy cleaning.

Amerimax Windows Reviews
Amerimax manufactures very solid vinyl replacements. Our home has 22 Amerimax single hungs, which we installed 5 years ago and so far so good. The frames are painted dark green on the outside and white on the inside and paint still looks good. They have even sightline and great night locks. They were nicely priced and also have a good window warranty.
My wife and I researched windows for nearly a month before deciding on the Amerimax. I also considered Milgard windows, although didn’t love the single strength glass. We also looked at Atrium and Anlin, but weren’t excited about their warranties.
The final company we considered was California Deluxe Windows – they make a good window but they were a bit out of our price range. For my money, Amerimax makes a great window at a fair price.

Frame AAMA Color Certification
I like the Amerimax vinyl windows because they have the AAMA color certification – unlike most vinyl products. They won’t take on a yellow tint over time (or at least they will do so much more slowly). I have them in my house for 7 years and they look great.
The company had some color issues a while back when they used a vinyl that had a slightly bluish tint to it but they have since changed to a white. They should have ten parts titanium dioxide for the best color retention. If you are interested in these, do yourself a favor and go out and read a bunch of Amerimax windows reviews to see what others have to say.
