Alside Mezzo Hi Tim. I have been researching replacement windows and have had a few quotes but i need some help. We really don't want to do the mezzo window after seeing your recommendations. I feel like both quotes on the Harvey windows are high compared to what your site says.

What do we do in this situation? Thank you! Nichole - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Nichole, unfortunately the cost estimator on the site uses 4 factors to determine price, but in the real world a company uses probably 20 factors to determine price. I would suggest getting two more bids for a total of four in order to know what the fair market price is for your particular project.

There should be a Zen dealer who services your area. Their Nirvana ask them if it is the Soft-Lite Classic is a very nice window.

I'd also check with Sunrise, Okna, Polaris and Soft-Lite to see if they have local companies who carry their brands. The Harvey brand is solid and the Alside Mezzo is mid grade vinyl window. The next couple of bids should give you a better idea of the fair market price of your project. The extra bids also help give you something to come back to the Harvey dealer for instance and bargain with.

Negotiate your bid. My apologies if your bids were higher than what you were expecting. Dane - Site Editor - from Harvey Slimline vs. We currently have Pella wood windows that were installed in We have a Cape style home with force hot water heat so there is no air circulation upstairs during the winter unless I open a window.

We need to move towards vinyl windows so we can keep them clean. I have a quote for the Harvey Slimline window. That comment was from Is that still true?

We have small windows so glass space is important. I have a quote from Pella that is much higher in cost. Do you have an additional guidance for me? Mara - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Mara, sorry to hear that your wood windows are not holding up, its definitely a frustrating situation. I think the move to vinyl is a good choice. The entry level Harvey Slimline is a thinner frame than the Classic and therefore provides less energy efficiency than the upgraded window.

In a mild climate, I tend to think you can get away with this option. In more extreme climates, you will feel the effects over time. Yes, you do lose some glass area, but not much. The Harvey Classic is a solid mid range vinyl window, while the Slimline is on the lower end of the mid range vinyl window spectrum. The Soft-Lite Pro window is a higher end mid range vinyl window and would be my choice over the Harvey option.

Have you looked at the Sunrise Restorations window? It can be a somewhat pricey option though. I know its tricky to balance frame thickness and energy efficiency. Both Soft-Lite and Sunrise windows come in interior wood laminates that do a good job of mimicking the look of wood without the cost and loss of energy efficiency. Something to consider if you want to preserve the look of your home, but still get top quality performance. It includes the capping. Should I upgrade to the foam insulation?

The Harvey Classic on the other hand is a nice vinyl window and one that I would have in my house. I would say it is a solid mid range vinyl window. Now the question is, how good is the installer? We replaced 16 fifty year old wooden windows. Now, our house is draftier than it ever was before. I spoke with the company the first year and they denied anything was wrong with the window.

They even sent a repairman to look at them. They then forced the contractor to return. He caulked the inside of every window, but they still leak air. The top part of the window drops down a bit at times. I have recontacted the contractor, but he has not come by yet. What can we do? It is hotter in the summer too. Besides contacting the contractor or the manufacturer, there is little you can do from a warranty standpoint.

One option you can try is to call a local window company or two and have them come out and give you their opinion. Perhaps there is a repair they can offer. Doing a replacement of old windows and it would be helpful to hear your opinion.

You really don't hear a lot about them, but I've seen the windows. Paradigm windows could use a bit of improvement on their welds and the overall look of it is nothing special. However, I've heard good things about their overall reputation and business practices. I would assume that the quotes are very similar in price. If it were me, I would turn my attention to the company doing the work itself.

I would also use the two quotes to see which of the companies is willing to drop their price for the business. Here is a link to an article that talks about negotiating the bid price.

The Harvey windows price has already been reduced to contractor price and would be installed by the company selling the windows. They can complete the job in 2 days. The Harvey window would be installed by a local contractor who is already doing renovations to the property and would take then days.

Trying to do as much research as I possibly can but after a while it gets confusing as to which is the best choice. Thanks for your response. It's a known brand and I like the idea that the same company that sells the windows is installing. If anything goes wrong, you know where to go. Harvey has a good reputation. Interesting process.

You are ready to go if he can match the other quote. They also had the Slimline for less money, yet it seemed ok, what are your thoughts on that window. On the way back I saw a Window World shop and saw their Series, at an attractive purchase and installation price with what seems to be a good guarantee.

Your thoughts on either of these would be appreciated. I think this will wrap it up for me. Thank you for your time and advice. Window World always has attractive pricing, but the windows they use are very low quality, I wouldn't put any of their windows in my home. Many contractors consider this their best valued window. It uses a block and tackle balancing system and has slightly more glass than the Tribute. In terms of Harvey windows ratings, the Classic has a U-value of 0.

I live right on the water and get terrific winds and driving rain. My plan is to replace 14 windows that face the water at the same time. Because I am removing the siding and trim boards I'm replacing with PVC I can use windows designed for new construction. I have 2 questions: One involves the siding. I'm leaning towards the Certain teed Vinyl Impressions siding. They make a line that comes in panels and another line that are individual singles.

Given my location is the cedar impression product a good choice. Any thoughts would be appreciated. Feel free to recommend something else. Now for the windows. All are same size—rough opening is 32x49 We were leaning towards vinyl or fiberglass-we want white on white-no grills I had Pella sales guy in and he was pushing the Pella series. Harvey windows are big here on the cape. I see from your site you are not a big fan of the pella series. The Harvey classic line is the other consideration.

There is also Marvin but have not really looked into then yet. Recommendations appreciated. If you were me-what would you use? Getting an opinion from you is super valuable. Ever time I talk to window place of lumber yard they push one over another.

An unbiased opinion for knowledgeable individual is invaluable. I'd much prefer the Pella series. I'd prefer the Harvey Classic to the Pella , this is a quality vinyl window. The Pella is a decent enough window, it's just not always priced out very fair in my opinion.

Marvin is a great window, but it will be expensive. I would get a bid or two more off the following list. I've learned more about windows than I ever thought possible! I've done a good amount of research and narrowed it down to Harvey and Okna.

I understand that Okna is a higher quality window than Harvey is the warranty is certainly better. Quote 2 : Same as above, but dealer is a Harvey Elite dealer. All else the same. Established company that provides lifetime labor warranty. Struggling with whether or note the elite dealer justifies the premium over quote 1, and if Okna justifies the large premium over the Harvey.

Any thoughts here would be much appreciated. Thanks in advance! The Okna is the better window, but not that much better. I think this this is where you get the most bang for your buck! Pella for a windows replacement project in the NY Metro area?

Also is it worth the extra cost to go fiberglass like with a Marvin Infinity? I think you could get a bid from Ideal windows, Sunrise windows and a local Okna window dealer and see how they compare to the Harvey. The Pella isn't up to snuff in my opinion. We are planning to go with a painted exterior vinyl window so we can match our exterior trim but still have a white interior.

My questions are: - are these 2 color windows a good option? Does the color hold up? Andrew - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Andrew, you have some pretty solid bids in your collection. Lots of consumers decide to do a painted exterior, which can add a nice visual effect to the window, but definitely adds to the cost.

The color holds up pretty well for the most part. Harvey, Polaris and Norandex are big enough companies that you can have faith that the color process will be effective.

I don't put a ton of stock in warranties because the cost to pull the windows out and replace them is so much of the cost. Labor warranties only last 2 years so you still have to pay for the labor, even if they cover the window that needs to be replaced or repaired. Warranties do tell you how long the company thinks their own product should last though - I like to think about it like that. Bottom line is you should go with a company or brand that has a good reputation and makes a good product.

Soft-Lite Pro Hi…we are replacing the windows in our house. Where would you say they are in comparison to each other? The problem for me is that it's better by just about the same difference in your bids. If this were my project, I'd switch from looking at the windows themselves to the installation company. Find the one with the best reviews, reputation and time in the business and see if this can guide your decision If it's over 10 years, then I'd go with the more expensive option and if it's under I'd go with the less expensive option.

Tim - Site Editor - from Harvey Double Hung Windows Hi Dane and Tim, I've received the attached quote from a local contractor to replace 4 double hung and 1 casement windows original 's Anderson wood 73 x 50 with all Harvey double hung windows. Waiting for confirmation of which Harvey series they plan to use. I'm new to the replacement game and am wondering if this looks like a thorough installation and if it is reasonably priced for the product. Dane - Site Editor - from Harvey Classic vs.

Pella Hi Tim - I live in the Boston area and am replacing 10 of the original 50 plus year old windows 8 double hung and 2 casement which let a good deal of cold air in during the winter. The double hung windows are 34x45 or smaller, and the casement windows are 18x All of the frames are in good shape. I have looked at windows from 5 companies, and am now considering proposals from Pella, Harvey and Sunrise. From what I have read, the Classic and the Essentials seem to be comparable.

Where would you place the ? I don't mind spending a little more for a better window, and may ask for a quote on the Harvey Tribute. How would you compare that to the Vanguard? One of the sales reps told me that the proper way to replace casement windows is to install new frames with the new windows.

None of the others mentioned this. Do you have any opinion on this? Any thoughts you have on the pricing or the proposals in general would be appreciated. I would put the Harvey Classics on par with the Sunrise Essentials. So the Harvey Classic series is the clear winner in your match up given the price differences.

The answer to whether you need a full frame replacement or a retrofit window is based on the quality of the existing window frames and sills. I can't answer that question without seeing the project. This is where more bids will come in handy -- you can get more opinions from the installers.

The pricing seems a bit high, but the Harvey quote sounds pretty fair to me. This is the bid I would focus on. Assuming the installer of the Harvey had good reviews and a good track record, this is where I would go.

Tim - Site Editor - from Harvey Classics vs. I've spent hours trying to research replacement, slider and hopper windows for my home and feel like I'm not getting far. Is your opinion still valid? I'm looking for mid-cost windows with a great warranty - which Okna seems to have lifetime and transferable. I've been looking into Harvey Classic windows as well.
