Sunrise Restorations Windows Reviews

Explore Sunrise Restorations Windows reviews from consumers, contractors and industry experts on this premium vinyl window. Sunrise Windows And Doors is a one of the top tier vinyl window companies in the United States, along with Soft-Lite and Okna windows. Their top of the line window is the Restorations Series, which is considered an excellent window with stellar performance numbers to back it up.

Essentially, the Restorations model is the standard Sunrise extrusion that comes standard with many of the nicer upgrades, including a reinforced meeting rail and vertical sash, Max Edge spacer, foam filled chambers, a great tilt sash mechanism and a high transparency screen. The Restorations is a top five vinyl window in my opinion.

Sunrise is based out of Michigan and they have strong distribution in the area and in many of the Eastern States. Unfortunately, Sunrise windows are not available in the western states.

Sunrise Restorations Windows Reviews 2024


Restoration Windows Complaints

Good morning dear Dane. After ordering my restoration windows that was supposed to have XL Edge stainless steel spacer, it arrived with the new Endur Warm Edge IG spacer in black even though this new generation Endur IG is also available in stainless steel.

Do you know the difference between the Endur Warm Edge IG in natural stainless steel and black?

Also as my new windows are in exterior tan color and interior white color it feels overwhelming to see that black spacer that adds to the color of the window once the nice and clean look of the natural stainless steel would not add to the color of the window.

Plus, I ordered the Ultra U Plus low-e 272 and they sent me all my window's glass in Low-E 270. Can you please help me to understand if the Low-E 270 is a good option as well as the Low-E 272 in Atlanta Georgia?

I am feeling disappointed with all these surprisingly changes in my order once the windows are already installed.

Thank you so much for your time and attention.

Honestly, there is very little practical difference between these two spacers -- but I do see that as annoying aesthetically.

VERY little difference between the glass options.

Sounds like they made a couple ordering tweaks - I would pointedly ask them myself to let them know your dissatisfaction - they could have a good reason (should as back order on certain parts) but they still should have reached out and at least gone over it with you...

Disappointing...

Dear Dane, I really appreciate your feedback. I sincerely don't know the difference between the Endur Warm Edge IG in natural stainless steel and stainless steel in black, I just hope that the black is also a stainless steel material and I hope it has the same quality as the natural stainless steel, but I am not finding much information online explaining the difference.

I was expecting low-e 272 that sounds to me as the perfect balanced coating once it gives confort during the summer and also during the winter without that blue/green strong look.

Plus, the windows did not come with the Restorations signature on the glass as it was supposed to only stickers V-1950, so I did send them an email explaining my sincerely disappointment with all these unexpected changes. Overall the windows are beautiful and the glass is a legit Cardinal

Sunrise Restorations Series Cost

Hey guys, love to get some advise here - replacing seventeen double hungs, two door sliders and one picture window. Am I overpaying?

Polaris UltraWeld Price: $27.9K (Polaris Windows Reviews)
Soft Lite Imperial LS Price: $23.3K
Sunrise Restoration Price: $22.1K
Sunrise Standard Price: $25.3K
Provia Endure Bid: $21.5K (ProVia Windows Reviews)

Susan - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Susan, I don't think you're overpaying. Those are good price quotes from where I am sitting. The Polaris and Sunrise Standard are too much, but the rest of the grouping looks excellent. All good options - I'd go with the window whose installation record is the best or highest rated.

Sunrise Restoration Windows Reviews

Provia Endure: $9,985

I'd love to get your recommendation and fyi we plan to be in this home at least another 15 years.

Hal - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

While the Restorations is the best of the bunch there, the ProVia Endure is the best value of the bunch. This is the direction I would go without a doubt. Decent price quotes based on what I'm seeing lately.

Sunrise Restorations Windows Reviews vs Joyce

We are replacing a large bow window that measures 10' x 64" - so pretty large. We live here in Southern Wisconsin where we have hot summers and very cold windows.

Joyce Trinity Series - $7490 (Joyce Windows Reviews)
Target Elite 4000 - $8120
Sunrise - $10,450
Sunrise Restorations - $12,955

For an extra $800, we could do triple pane on each of these. That was the rough cost increase for all four of the bids. Thanks! (Triple Pane Windows Cost)

[Site Editor's Answer]

Luis, I would probably go with the Joyce Trinity series, although if this is your forever home, I would then serious consider upgrading to the Sunrise or Restorations series. If not, I think the Joyce options is a good one for the price tag.

Sunrise Restorations vs Ideal Majestic Windows

I've received prices from a single installer for 3 different vinyl windows: Ideal Majestic, Soft-lite Elements, Sunrise Restorations. All of the prices are within $3000 of each other to replace all the windows in the house with Ideal being the cheapest and the Sunrise being the most expensive. Soft-lite seemed like a good middle of the road pricing option, but i don't love that they have the biggest frame, especially since we're coming from historic wood windows. Are the Sunrise windows worth the extra money? We're not sure how much longer we'll be in the house. could be 4 years could be forever. Appreciate your thoughts.

Caroline - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Response]

Caroline, the Soft-Lite Elements and Sunrise Restorations are very close in quality, I might put the Elements above the Restorations by a nose. They are two of the very best vinyl windows out there and a notch above the Ideal Majestic series.

However, the Restorations does use that thinner frame, which is very nice in terms of the overall aesthetic. I would definitely recommend going with either the Elements of Restorations, I personally don't mind the thicker frame, in fact, it makes the window feel a bit sturdier to me, more substantial.

So this is what I would say, if the thinner frame is important to you for its visual appeal, shell out the extra money for the Restorations. If not, go with the Elements. Either way, you are getting a fantastic window!

Are Sunrise Restorations Vinyl Or Fiberglass

In answers on your site, these are called vinyl windows. My understanding is that they're fiberglass. Which is correct?

Carol - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

The Sunrise Restoration uses a narrow vinyl frame (referred to on their website as PVC) that is reinforced in the sash frame and along the meeting rails with a fibercore material that is a composite of vinyl and fiberglass. So technically it's a composite window, but the window uses both vinyl and fiberglass components. Vinyl vs Fiberglass Windows

At the end of the day, it's a fantastic window that provides a lot of advantages over it's competitors!

Sunrise Restoration vs Simonton 5500

I'm replacing my windows in my manufactured home and wondering what you can tell me about the Simonton Reflections 5500 and the Sunrise Restoration Series. We have received bids from both and the Simonton bid was higher. We live in North Dakota and I like the fact that the Sunrise windows I can purchase from a local dealer. Thank you.

Cheryl - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Cheryl, the Sunrise Restorations is a top tier vinyl window, really top notch. The Simonton Reflections 5500 is a good window, but I wouldn't put it in the top tier, I might put it in the top tier of mid range vinyl window category. The fact that the Simonton bid was higher makes this even easier, go with the Sunrise! You are getting an excellent window!

Sunrise Restorations vs. Okna 800

Hi, I'm trying to decide between the Okna 800 Series and the Sunrise Restorations. Both pricing is pretty comparable with the sunrise being slightly higher. I am liking it due to the fiberglass core inside to strengthen it and because the company is "installation master certified". I like the Okna extra sill dam, magnetic closure and that it doesn't use a metal spacer at all. Do you have any recommendations on which way to go. They both have their own perks but my husband seems to be sold on the installation master guy. Both guys seem really good and have great reviews overall in our area, north/central NJ.

Sonja - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Sonja, both of these windows are excellent so kudos to you for finding such quality products to put in your home. I would focus on installation at this point since both windows are going to serve you well. I like the idea of using master certified installers because they know the windows so well. If it were me, this is the way I would be leaning.
