Reliabilt Windows are an interesting story of sorts. The company doesn’t actually make their own windows and sliding doors, instead they buy them from Atrium Windows and put their own label on. While this isn’t that rare of an occurrence, Reliabilt is perhaps the biggest name to take this approach. Their products are sold in big box stores – Lowes and Home Depot being the two largest. Browse below to check out our Reliabilt Windows reviews.
Company Rating: 6.5 out of 10
Overall Price Point: 6.0 out of 10
Bottom Line: Reliabilt is one of the better brands available in the big box stores. If this is the route you’re going, then yes get a bid (or email me and I’ll suggest some alternative options).

Reliabilt Windows Reviews And Prices
How do I know that Reliabilt doesn’t make their own windows, if you visit the company’s website, it says coming soon. I find this very odd – what well known brand doesn’t have a functional website? To be fair, Reliabilt doesn’t need one as they sell all of their products out of Home Depot and Lowes.
The company sells budget oriented windows and sliding patio doors. As a rule of thumb, their premium series should be considered mid range vinyl windows.
Reliabilt vs Simonton
I am looking for windows for my home in Southern California. Later on I am heading over to a local glass store that supplies Milgard windows, I am hoping this will give me some insight into the windows available in my area. Hopefully they have some other brands to choose from such as Reliabilt, PlyGem and Simonton. Any lumberyards that were in the area have closed by now, which leaves me pretty limited on the options available.

Try and get some more information on the Simonton Asure range. While they are newer windows, they are good quality and much better than Reliabilt. Personally I would choose PlyGem or Milgard over Reliabilt or Atrium any day. Also go for vinyl. Most vinyl companies will offer a lifetime warranty on all their windows, not all companies offer the same warranty, so pay careful attention to this. Lowes have PlyGem windows and they are reasonably priced. I’ve tried the lumberyards in my area, but they don’t have the vinyl windows available, which are the ones with a better warranty and minimal maintenance.

Reliabilt vs Milgard
I’ve searched for lumberyards in my area of California and haven’t found any. My only solution is a glass company who have Milgard windows advertised. I am hoping they can assist me with some of the other window brands I am interested in, including PlyGem, Reliabilt and Simonton. BTW, thank you for your reliabilt windows reviews as I haven’t found much out there that is unbiased.

Good luck with your search, though be careful when choosing replacement windows as not all the names you have mentioned are similar in terms of performance. Reliabilt isn’t the most popular or best performing window, you are better off looking at Milgard, Simonton and PlyGem. I recommend vinyl windows to all my customers as they have excellent warranties, but they are not something a lumberyard would stock, so see what the glass company can do for you.

Reliabilt Windows Reviews Survivor 7100
When it came to replacing the windows in our home, I did a lot of research. Eventually 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. I also had a look at the Pella Thermaster, but they only had a 45 rating, where the Reliabilt had a 73.

Personally, I wouldn’t take what the consumer reports have to heart when it comes to replacement windows. In a majority of cases these reports are very untrue, misleading many customers. Basically, what the consumer report does is test products which you can purchase from a store, but they don’t test the many other fantastic window options which you cannot buy from your store, which is why they aren’t really the best choice. You may have found a much nicer and stronger windows at around the same price.
