Atrium and WW would would at the bottom of my list. I would perhaps consider Atrium's premium window, but even that I would be a bit hesitant to endorse. Here are brands you could look for. The last two are florida-based companies that should have a presence in South Carolina. Their impact windows are often used along the coast and this is perhaps what I would try first.

If none of these pan out, look at our best windows page and do a google search for "[window brand] in [home town, south carolina]" see if any local companies carry the brands. If so, have them come out and give you a quote. I have 14 windows and I'm getting screens, grids, and triple pane. What would be a good cost for these? Also, should I get tempered glass or forget that option. I live in Louisville and plan on staying in the house 5 more years.

Also, do you know anything about Zen windows? In particular their high end triple pane one? I google it and nothing came up on any Window World website, which since they are a franchise, there are lots of sites. I'm certain this is a relabeled window, but honestly I don't know which window, so I can't comment specifically about the quality.

As far as WW goes, you want to investigate the quality and reputation of your individual local franchise. Independent online reviews are the best way to go about this process. I would get some competing bids to see what else is out there. As far as Zen goes, many of these franchises use the low to mid range Soft-Lite windows that are relabeled the mid range they offer are good, their low end is just mediocre.

However, I have been hearing that some Zen dealers are using other relabeled windows -- if and when you do get your other bids, send them my way and I'm happy to give you my take on what you have! I am in Pensacola, Florida and have met with two window companies here so far. I have a meeting in 2 weeks with the third company. We had several storms come here in so a lot of the companies in the SE region as behind due to huge demand to replace windows from the storms.

The first company is Window World and they have quoted me on the WW series impact windows. The salesperson said they are the Wincore impact windows. I have 10 windows to replace in my house as I am replacing the original single hung wood windows from when the house was built in So, I would guess anything I put in is better than what I have now!

These 10 windows are also double hung windows. I figured we would be better off with the impact windows. Window World says weeks and months on the sliding glass door. I think the series is coming out of Texas and the series from Wincore in WV. The second company is a local family owned company with a good reputation. The only difference is that the Shwinco windows are single hung as opposed to WW double hung windows. The official estimate is below.

The second company did not quote PGT as they said that there is a 6 month backlog on PGT due to the storms we have had here in Florida in So, everyone is on a month wait with PGT being 6 months according to the second company. The second company said they had been using Shwinco more lately due to the slow moving time of PGT right now. The second company also said they do not do double hung impact windows due to the heavier window causing issues with the top part of the double hung coming down sometimes.

So, they did not recommend double hung impact windows. They say over 1 million windows installed. It seems the storms not only have the manufacturers behind but also the window companies with 3 week wait list for estimates. Do you have any advice or thoughts on how the Window World series and the Shwinco products compare? Do any of the brands that the third company offer sound like they might be better than Wincore or Shwinco? What is your opinion on the double hung impact window issue with it tending to slide down.

Do you have any reservations about double hung impact windows? We got the estimate from WW because my wife asked around and her friends used them in town and they all said they did a good job of installing them. WW seems to be the major Google reviews company here.

Do you think one of these estimates is better than the other between the first and second company? I will have to wait and see on the third company. Amazingly, I do not see much online in reviews on the WW series impact windows. These are the brands and series that I can recommend. WW is all over the board in terms of installation. They typically use AMI and MI windows, which are considered builder grade windows by most window "insiders.

I like the fact that they have a good reputation. I do know that the WW series is the Wincore Impact window, which is a solid window. Maybe not top tier, but very solid mid range. I would probably opt for this over Schwinco. I have heard that leads time are crazy right now. I never publish email addresses, just content, but I'll switch names so nobody will associate the comments with you.

Yeah, the second contractor told us that PGT times are out to 6 months. I had originally wanted to go with them, but I don't think I want to wait 6 months for windows. I was interested in them because we live in Florida and they are a Florida company. It seems they have a strong hold on all the companies in Florida doing storm windows.

I think the first three may fall under the PGT family of brands. So, it seems Shwinco is the outlier with them but one they are using to get business going with the long lead times from PGT.

I am interested in the third contractor that is coming out on the 21st. They are a big player in the city as they have been in business since They say on their website they have installed over 1,, windows. I forgot to add that Pella is one of their companies, too. Do you think Pella's impact windows and doors are good?

I don't know if Pella might have something so I will have to see what they say on the 21st. This third contractor uses PGT as well. I will be able to confirm the 6 month lead time when they visit. My wife is pretty insistent on a double hung so we can lower the top part of the window given the cats we have in the house. LOL That kind of rules out Shwinco as it seems they don't make a double hung impact window. Thank you again for your time and advice. I sure do appreciate it and stay safe!

Pella is a decent vinyl window brand, but I think for the money I would go with something higher up on the list. I don't think ProVia makes a storm window, but they make excellent doors. For me, it would come down to the cost. Both solid brands and you probably can't go wrong with either if the installation is high quality. About 30 windows.

I have gotten a quote for amsco restoration for 32k. Amerimax for 37k. Window World for 18k. What is it that makes the others almost double window world? That is a huge price difference though. There are lots in f ways to either cut costs or add to costs on windows. Anything to the quality of the vinyl extrusions to the components and standard upgrades.

If they do, you could consider the WW bid and hope the windows last 15 to 20 years. You usually have problems after 8 to years… Dane - Site Editor - from Estimate from Window World We are looking to replace 2 windows and 2 patio doors in our sunroom.

We are looking for recommendations on windows and for companies in the Northwest Indiana. Any further information would be greatly appreciated. You'll have to look them up to see what is available in your area.

House was built in 94 and have some fogging going on. I met a service tech from window world and gave me a business card. What and where should I be looking? Any recommendations would be great. Thank you in advance. Some are pretty glowing, while others are pretty mediocre. Some of their branches are now selling the Wincore window, which I consider to be a darn good mid range vinyl window.

The bids are free and you can send them to me and I'm more than happy to provide you with my take on any cost quotes you receive. I'm not incentivized by any companies so I'm happy to provide you with unbiased advice on your best option s. Here is my good and great windows list.

They were very forthcoming with all specs. I got a quote from Window World for 9 windows including one large picture window with a slider on each end and one single "French door". All the windows were supposed to be double sliders. It says that right on the quote. However, when I asked the sales rep to send me the specs on the sliders - it does not say which window I'm getting.

It just says they are series impact windows and it's for double hung not sliders. The rep said it's the same specs. The exterior French door doesn't even have the series listed, it just says 'insulated'. I asked about that and the sales guy said that was the 'impact' glass. I said why is it listed differently for the windows and he didn't have a good answer. Their website is pretty vague too.

However, I spoke to another CWS dealer and he says they don't make double sliders and that the measurements were in United Inches and the French Door was probably aluminum not the vinyl I ordered. I called the corporate office and another dealer to see if they would send me more specific information and not heard back yet. What do you think? Is Window World trying to pull something disreputible? For me in Florida, Window World would not be at the top of my list.

I would get these bids on impact windows and doors and see how they compare. When you reference the Window World windows should hold up for years, what does that mean? They say they warrant against window seal for "life" so why are they only good if someone is staying for only years. Trying to get my most for the money since my stay here is undecided. Some WW branches do have a good reputation, others do not.

I say 5 to 7 years because after this time, problems begin to occur. Broken seals, broken hardware, trouble lifting or closing the windows. WW sells an inexpensive window and as they say you get what you pay for. Is this defintely going to happen Some people like the windows, they do generally fine, and they have no issues.

Tim - Site Editor - from Window World, Champion Or Gilky I'm getting my house ready to sell and found out my large three pane casement window cannot be repaired. I had it installed abt 20 years ago, and I think it is a Wendco, which no longer exists, meaning getting the same size may be impossible. I don't think it can be smaller because I have old aluminum siding which can't be matched.

I don't want to spend a fortune but want a good quality window. Couldn't find any Sunrise, Simonton or Soft-Lite near me. Any suggestions on how to proceed? Don - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] I always have a problem with these questions because my advice is going to be to do it as cheap as possible since you are getting ready to sell. On the flip side, whoever buys your house may be getting in touch with me after the seals fail in 8 years. The fact is you won't recoup this money so you are not going to want to spend a lot of money.

Get bids from Champions , Gilkey and Window World -- WW will be the least expensive and you should probably go with them as long as visually it makes sense.

Some WW have good reputations and offer lifetime warranties. Just make sure to give the new owner all the paperwork so that if something does happen down the road they will know who to go to. Upon installation we noticed the wrong window was being installed.

Single prairie grid was ordered, double was installed. Contacted office and was told when we order more windows, they would correct it. Wife tried to stop installation, but was told this is what they were given and they wouldn't stop to contact office to correct it.

The plan was to see how we liked it with full intention of completing entire home. Contacted for quote, Sept. Was ALSO told they tried to contact us on numerous occasions. Why would we not return calls for something that we wanted to get corrected in the first place. Bottom line is we are being given the run around.

They advertise the window, but when you get the salesman in your home it is their bottom line window with no warranty, etc.

They are not reputable. VERY poor way customer service. Have since discovered there are much better choices out there. Have since decided to cut our losses and are going with a much more reputable and "local" contractor for total house install. Gerry - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Gerry, each Window World is operated independently, so unless a consumer mentions something specifically about a WW in your area, unfortunately I don't personally know whether the branch has a good or bad reputation for their installation.

Window World sells a low end Alside and an Xact window so regardless of which Window World branch you are using, the product you're buying is not one that is intended to last for the same time as a higher quality product. The point being that you will often pay more money over time by going with a poor product than going with a quality one the first time. Anlin, Milgard, Amerimax and Simonton all make good mid range vinyl windows that are available in Arizona and with quality installation, should last quite a bit longer than Window World and cause you less issues such as broken seals, failing lift rails at year 5, 7, 9 etc.

Please help! Caulked one on inside because the trim came off from being wet but afraid we may be just trapping water as we don't know how it is getting in. Called installer Window World Raleigh no response.

I'd find a local window installer in yelp, Angies List, or craigslist and pay him or her, probably a him for an hour of his time and have him come out and give you his opinion and hopefully fix the problem.

I would guess that this would be much less hassle than dealing with WW and hopefully shouldn't be that expensive. While he's out, I would ask as many questions as you can, such as how to properly clean the slider tracks, etc. This is a relatively cheap way to hopefully get at the problem and perhaps get some incite into how to clean and maintain your windows that, over time, could save you the cost of what you might have to pay down the road.

Can you tell I'm trying to put a good spin on this? After reading some of these reviews I am not sur we have made the correct choice.

We got five bids window world was not the cheapest but felt comfortable with salesman. What do you recommend? Barb - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Response] Barb, I can't really recommend going with Window World, their windows are not typically going to provide the long term value that consumers should be looking for in my opinion. I honestly think you will spend more money in the long run going with a sub par window.

I know Wasco Windows are available in the state and they are going to be a nice middle of the road vinyl window. Simonton surely has reps in your state and their mid range and upper end Reflections and Impressions series windows are going to be much better than the WW option.

At the end of the day, you don't need the best vinyl window on the market, but you certainly don't want the lower end either. See if you can get bids from local companies who sell these brands and see what you come up with.

I'm going to get some windows from window world. The sales rep said fiberglass are the best to buy. I live in the DC area and need good windows for the cold winter and something to keep the summer heat out and have a decent heat bill. Kevin - Consumer - from Editor's Response Kevin, I would have to respectfully disagree with the notion that Window World who typically sell relabeled Alside windows are the best in the business.

I would suggest that you get several additional window quotes from. Out on the east coast, I like Okna, Sunrise and Soft-Lite - Vytex and Polaris would be my "back up" options in case the first three I mentioned are not available or out of your price range. In general, I think these are better alternatives than the Window World option, although admittedly they will be more expensive. However, they will offer better overall long term value, which saves you money in the long run.

Best of luck. Pricing varied between those companies I spoke with but I felt I would have a good experience with Window World…not knowing I was about to experience a nightmare. It was a little more than advertised but that is just about how everything is these days. I purchased fourteen series windows from Window World in After six years they are in perfect shape. No sagging, easy to open and close, perfect condition.

Beautiful windows with perfect install. One of the windows didn't fit right when they brought it out. The installer did not force it in place, he ordered another window. He came back in about a month and installed the window perfectly. Overall quality: 1 Locks: 1 Balance System: 1 Warranty: 1. Ahh, run away! We bought 10 windows. In the end the windows were drafty, lopsided, and some of the frames were cracked from being forced in!

They contracted the work out and we got a group of only Spanish speaking men that were wearing torn shirts and reeked of smoke. I was told by the company that it would take one day but they showed up late, took a 3 hour lunch break with other breaks to smoke, and then just left the new windows on the side out the house for anyone to take without telling me.

When I wouldn't pay till they fixed it they sent my name into a collection agent and ruined my credit score. I wouldn't take the windows if they were free. I swear what I agreed to buy is not what they brought to install. Overall quality: 1 Locks: 2 Balance System: 1 Warranty: 1. This is the most unethical company I have dealt with in 40 plus years of home ownership! Their windows are poorly measured and arrive at your home not fitting.

They then try to jerry-rig them to fit the openings and tell you it will be just fine. Overall quality: 3 Locks: 4 Balance System: 5 Warranty: 4. The windows are nice looking - we got 12 windows with grids. Leak some air but no frosting over in frigid temps. Very reasonable, stuck by their quote. We had 16 windows installed and they were done great.

The crew that installed them was very good, and had all 16 windows installed in one day. The team was ready to begin promptly at 8am. Polite, courteous, hard working, and most important, did a very professional job.

Window World windows, siding, and entry doors are backed by the prestigious Good Housekeeping Seal. For a full list of products with the Seal, go to goodhousekeeping.

A beautiful home starts here.
