Apex Window Cost

Explore Apex Windows Cost on the Insignia window series - also referred to as the Insignia e2.

Apex Energy Solutions Windows: The company sell the Insignia window, also called the Insignia e2. The window is an upgraded Alside 8000 window, not unlike the Alside Preservation series. In terms of Apex window features, the window uses a block & tackle balance (solid), foam core mainframe, UltraFlex warm edge spacer, triple pane glass, a sash reinforcement, along with a sloped sill (much preferred sill to the snap in sill). The window can be ordered in some nice colors and finishes, including several wood grain laminate options.

Apex Windows Price List: As a general rule of thumb, homeowners can expect to pay $750 to $950 per window fully installed for an Apex Energy Systems Insignia series.

From a quality and craftsmanship persepctive, I would put the Apex Insignia window at the very top of mid range vinyl windows. (I hope this makes sense.) However, Apex Energy Solutions window cost tend to be in the top tier of vinyl window pricing. I've been searching for Insignia windows energy star rating, but haven't yet sussed this out. Will update when I do.

apex Windows price list

Hi there, I read you have a list of high quality windows. We are waiting on a quote from apex energy solutions. It seems anything around 750/window is a good deal for the insignia?

Are there other windows you recommend that are higher quality?

Neil - Homeowner - from 2024

[Site Editor's Answer]

Neil, I would say that $750 for the Insignia is fair - but it's very difficult to put a carte blanche number out there - much better to collect 4 or 5 bids and see how they all compare to one another. That is the much better indicator of fair market price. I will send you my list for you to take a look at!

Apex vs RBA

Good morning I have received these quotes from Renewal at $56k and from Apex at $26k. This is for for 21 windows. I do like the warranty from Renewal, I simply can't justify the significant price increase. Seems a bit exorbitant to me.

Apex Window Cost

My name is Rafael and I came across your site. I wanted to get your opinion on this window replacement quote through APEX (they are pressuring us to close citing we are a Promo home). Quote (home is in Denver, CO):

We agree to furnish and install the Insignia brand windows at current openings. White interior and white interior. Remove current sills and install new, unpainted sills.

(1) Double Hung

(16) Two-Lite Slider

(1) Sliding Glass Door

Total Price: $26,687 (100% financed/credit card)

Cash Discount (3%): 25,909 (30% down / balance RENU finance)

Lead time is currently 20-24 weeks for product arrival and install. If positive for lead, additional $964.00 Quote is valid through Wednesday, October 5, 2022. Please let me know if you have any additional questions."

Is this quote reasonable? My math puts me at $1,482 for which seems high since your website advises that you should pay for less than $1k per window. Also can you send me a list of other installers to get bids from? Thank you in advance for you help!

Rafael - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Rafael, it sounds high to me for sure. Collect a few more bids, send them my way and then let’s see where we’re at…

Apex Windows Price List

Hello! I found your site and appreciate your feedback regarding windows. It said to email if we wanted a list for a certain market. If you had one for Indianapolis area, I would be obliged to have it.

We are having Apex come out today to quote, mostly because a neighbor had them do windows and had high recommendations of the company. I didn't know about Apex sales tactics, although I am not surprised. Seems like the Kohl's model of pricing where the discounts they offer make you think you are getting a good deal.

From what I gleaned, anything around $750 a window is probably fair for their Insignia window but I would like to do my due diligence and get another quote. Seems like a lot of people were getting quotes around 1K a window, which may be high depending on install.

We have vinyl windows that are approaching 30 years old. The seals are failing, and we have a quote to replace the glass for about $5500 (for about 23 windows). Most are in good working order but I have to think they at the end of their "life." So, I wanted to compare glass replacement vs window replacement.

Thank you in advance!

Brian - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Brian, here is my list of good and great brands and series for you to take a look at...Indianapolis should be fairly well represented here...

Dane - Site Editor - from 2023


Apex Windows and Doors Quote

We had our Apex consult today and, just for your professional knowledge, the rep said that they have started making their own windows, as opposed to using the Alside 8000 as a base (with upgrades). Not sure if this helps the product or not. They are only selling triple pane windows now. Cost was $1685 a casement (with Black exterior) and the reference prices they gave me were for higher brand windows (Anderson, Pella – acknowledging the latter has differing grades of windows) as well as a low cost provider who adds everything on (to make them seem like a value). I didn't feel like it was high pressure. But it definitely felt like they were positioning themselves into a high quality bracket as opposed to "upper mid-tier." Salesmenship.

Brian - Homeowner - from 2023


Apex Windows Price List

I have a quote for 22 Insignia at $1000 a window from APEX.

How do they rate?

I was hoping for a “ cut out and replace” the entire frame system but was not offered that option.

David - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

David, the Insignia is a good option. I wouldn't say it's a top tier window, but it's very solid. $1K per is pricey -- maybe not outlandish in todays market :( but I would still suggest a few more bids to make some comparisons between bands and local companies.

When you have the other companies come out, make sure to ask whether they recommend retrofit/pocket (where they cut out the existing frame or if they recommend a full tear out -- after a few bids, hopefully you will have a consensus on this answer, which will affect the price quite a bit...)

Dane - Site Editor - from 2023


Apex Windows Cost NC

Good morning Dane, I have 2 identical quotes on 26 replacements here in North Carolina. The Apex Windows cost is $29,000 for and the other bid is from Energy Masters Direct out of Mooresville, NC (locally family owned and operated). Energy uses the Vytex Fortis series. Apex takes a day to install (uses subs I'm sure). Energy takes 3-4 days.

Any recommendations?

Matty - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Matty, the Vytex Fortis is a very good window. I looked up the reviews on Energy Masters Direct Mooresville, North Carolina and they looked quite good. I think this is what I'm leaning toward unless your Apex branch has basically perfect reviews -- even then I think the Energy Masters Direct makes more sense...

Dane - Site Editor - from 2023


Apex Windows vs Renewal By Andersen

We gets lots of questions related to Apex Windows vs Renewal By Andersen prices. Here's my take -- while Apex Insignia costs run $750 to $950 per window fully installed (this is as close as I can get to an Apex windows price list). Meanwhile, Renewal By Andersen costs run $1500 to $2000 per window fully installed. This is a massive difference, nearly 2x for RBA, and I would say that the Apex is the better buy over the Renewal option here.

Apex Windows Promotional Home Program

Apex Energy Systems has a unique and sometimes frustrating approach to selling their windows. This is my take on how the conversations go -- knock, knock -- who's there -- Apex Energy Solutions -- I'm not looking for windows but okay -- well, I'm selling door to door and am willing to replace your windows at a fantastically discounted price if you will be our promotional home in the neighborhood. This amazing deal is discounted 50% over the normal price -- okay, let me think about it -- sure, but don't think too long because this deal only lasts for three days and then the price goes way up.

I'm not a big fan of the Promotional Home Program approach, but I have also seen some decent deals come out of their pitches from certain consumers. Other times, the Apex Insignia price quotes have seemed high to me for what you are getting. To read what everyday consumers have to say about the company, check out our Apex Windows reviews page.

Apex Windows Cost vs Okna

Hi Dane, which is better Insignia or Okna 500 Insul-tec?

I got a quote for 21 double hungs from both. See all of our Okna windows price information.

Insignia - $24480

Okna 500 - $22400

Please send me a list of good vendors/installers here in Sterling, VA

Geoff - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Geoff, the Okna 500 is the better window over the Insignia — and it’s cheaper, how often does that happen???? I will also send you my list!

Apex Windows vs Renewal By Andersen

Hi Dane. Thanks for your website. I am interested in seeing your list of recommended brands and options. We are in Ponte Vedra Beach FL and have had estimates from RBA and Apex for 24 windows. RBA was silly and Apex just came in at ~36,000 or $1,500/window. Seems a bit high for what you are calling a B grade window. We’d like to get another estimate or two from A grade retailers in our area.

Apex Windows vs Provia

Hi Dane, I have a house from 1990 and I'm looking into replacing them.

Apex gave me a quote for 
20 double hung
4 pictures
2 CT no grids
7 transoms no grids and 1 double casement the quote was for 31k after tax.. seemed kind of high so i shopped around

Zen Windows prices for the same window was $26k with the option to go to a double pane for 24k and 4k to get a black exterior.

I've read that if Zen sells soft lite then you recommend them but the zen dealer here in Charlotte NC sells a Provia Endure Comfortech, the double pane is the "Nirvana Series" Any advice on what to do or if buying the windows direct and hiring a contractor is the best option? Thanks in advance. 

Christopher - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Christopher, hi, so I didn't know that Zen was now selling the ProVia Endure. This is a great series -- one of my favorites! Check out Provia Endure windows cost here. Your best option is to go with Zen and have them do the work -- they get great reviews and they are used to installing the ProVia obviously since the Nirvana line is going to be their most popular. I really like this option and it's less expensive than the Apex!

Apex Windows Price List In Colorado

Hi Dane, thanks much for your site. It is super helpful. I recently moved into a home built in 1992 which still has the original windows. The house has A LOT of windows (I think I counted 80) - most are fixed frame with the occasional casement mixed in. They are certainly not very energy efficient (I can feel some drafts), but there is no noticeable rotting. However, functionality of the casement windows has deteriorated and some of the windows can't be opened at this point.

Cue the Apex sales guy who is finishing my next door neighbor's house and can give me the same 58% discount.... blah blah blah. Very consistent with what I've read on your site about them. Subsequently, my neighbor informed me that his quote from the company was something like $150,000 for the entire home.

So here are my questions for you:

Are there companies out there who will come and repair the casement windows (potentially replace hardware, etc.), so they are all functional? If so, how do I find a good company that does this?

If the windows are not rotting, and I can get the casement windows functional, what would the reasons be for replacing them? The Apex guy keeps telling me about energy efficiency, but when I told him my total annual energy costs are only about $5k, so even if the windows result in cutting my energy bill in half, it would take 60 years for the savings to exceed the cost of the windows (if my house costs anything close to my neighbor's house). It just doesn't make sense to me to spend over $100k to save $2-3k per year, if I think the windows look fine.

Any thoughts or recommendations would be much appreciated.

Thorne - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor's Answer]

Hey Thorne, here's what I would do: I would collect a few bids and with ask each company to bid out the project as full replacements and then ask about a sash replacement option. Not many companies offer this as they want to do the job for as much money as they can :) but if they can't, ask if they know any local companies that do offer this. That's a good starting point I think.

You're correct that the ROI on windows is not good -- but new windows will make your home more comfortable and look better etc. But that's a tough pill to swallow at $100K

Apex Window Cost

Dane, my wife and I are thinking of replacing all 16 windows and one sliding door. Two were too high and only Apex was within budget. Total Windows and Glass was around $21,000.

We had their representative visit us last year and when we compared the price, it was almost the same. Reading on your website, the price we got seems to be much higher ( average on your website is around $800 while ours is around $1,300 ). Would you please advise

Benan - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Benan, prices have been way higher lately, plus with older homes there can be all kinds of extra costs based on the work that needs to be done. It's best to rely on the bids you get to tell you what the fair market price is for your project...that's where getting a number of bids really comes in handy...I'd get a couple more bids to know if that $1300 per window is fair or not...

Apex Insignia Windows Cost

Dane, was reading through site and had a few questions.

Is PVC the same as Vinyl?

Have a quote for the Insignia, 20 windows at $1,000 installed. Is that a fair price?

Do you know any other replacement window specialists in the greater Charlotte area?

William - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

William, yes PVC is the same as vinyl. All the top tier and second tier manufacturers use the same vinyl material. How thick and how precisely cut and fitted they are --there's where the rubber meets the road.

Apex at $1K a window is about what I am hearing for the most part. I do think you should be able to get a better window though for this price.

Dane - Website Editor - from 2022


Apex Energy Insignia Price Quote

Here are the quotes received thus far. Renewal windows seem to be the best I've seen in person but with the price gap I cannot justify this. We plan to be in our home at least another 12-15 years, even so that is a large increase in costs compared to others. Both the Mezzo and Nirvana double panes are cheaper and I am curious if the triple pane of the Insignia and Nirvana options make them a significantly better window choice?

Love your feedback on the options and pros / cons below.

23 total Windows
1 fixed frame 
1 slider 
21 double hungs

Apex Energy
Alside / Insignia windows: 21,471

Forst Builders
Alside Mezzo: 15,585

Zen Nashville
Provia Nirvana double pane: 17,366
Provia Nirvana triple pane: 19,865

Renewal By Anderson Nashville
45,000+

Kenny - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Kenny, this is what I would go with Zen Windows Nashville

Provia Nirvana double pane: 17,366

Provia Nirvana triple pane: 19,865

I'm not sure you need triple pane in Nashville, but it certainly can't hurt. I think you're fine with the double pane myself.

Apex Windows Price List vs. Simonton

Hi Dane – appreciate your web site and your time. I live in Spring TX and we are replacing 12 windows. We have bids from

Home Depot (Simonton 6500 windows cost) $10,000

Insignia $15,000

Anderson $33,000 (we are ruling them out)

Any advice between Apex and Home Depot?

Thank you

David - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

David, the Insignia is worth the extra $3K over the Simonton in my opinion. Yes the RBA is too expensive. You may want to see if there is an NT Windows dealer or a Sunrise dealer in your area to see if you could get something in that 10K to 12K range that would equal the Apex but save you a few thousand dollars. For more information, read about NT windows pricing here.

Apex Window Prices In Utah

Hello Dane, I had an offer from Apex to replace 16 windows and one sliding patio door for $21,700.00. The Renewal by Anderson price bid was for $54,000 and the Pella windows price quote was for $44,000. The differences between the three bids are huge!

I live in SLC, UT. Would love to hear your thoughts and advice on this subject and would appreciate it if you can help!

Silvia - Homeowner - from 2022

Silvia, the Apex bid looks pretty fair, but those other two seem way overpriced -- and yes there are massive disparities between bids. I'd get a couple more to add to the Apex quote...

Apex Energy Cost Bid

Dane, thanks for all the helpful information on your site. We just purchased a home in Great Falls, Virginia that was built in 1984 and has drafty wood builder grade windows. We are looking to replace 25 double hungs and 1 large picture window. We received a quote from Andersen Renewal for $58,000; rough quote from an authorized Andersen installer of $70,000 for the 400 Series; and a quote from Apex for $26,000. We live in a nice neighborhood and would prefer the Andersen 400 but it's not even close to our budget. At this point, Apex is in our budget and seems like a decent window and a pretty good deal relative to the other quotes so we are leaning towards them

I wanted to get your insights as to the quotes, and your feedback on Apex. Is this a good, energy efficient window? Do you have recommendations at other companies we should get quotes from for a comparable window? Do you have recommendations on how to get a competitive quote for the Andersen 400?

Thanks so much.

Brendan - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Brendan, Apex makes a good window. I wouldn't put it in my top tier, but a solid second tier window. Get a couple more bids from the "great" list and then compare. Consider upgrading to an interior wood laminate vinyl window -- it mimics the look of wood pretty well, especially at any sort of distance. The look of wood clad for maybe half the cost -- and all the benefits of vinyl to boot. If you want to get a better sense of cost, check out Andersen 400 series cost here.

Hello, just got a quote from Apex energy solutions, looks to be about $1000 per window and $2900 for a 6' sliding glass door. That is including install. We live in Oregon.

Your doing a great service and much appreciated.

Randall - Homeowner - from 2022

Thanks in advance,

Vadim - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Vadim, Apex makes a good quality vinyl window that I would put in the upper end of the mid range vinyl window range. Marvin Integrity I would say is a solid fiberglass window. I like the Marvin brand quite a bit more than the Apex brand, but they do tend to be much more expensive. Check our Marvin Integrity windows cost using this link.

Ellen - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Reply]

Ellen, I would say anything over $1000 a window is high. Not to say that this isn't the fair market price of your project (you could have tons of sill and frame work that make this price totally reasonable). But you will only know this with a couple/few more bids for comparison.

Vancouver Price Bid

My name is Tina and I live in Vancouver, WA. I recently came across your website, after receiving a quote from Apex. Just as you described, I was given this quote to be "a promotional home" in my neighborhood. I am in the market for new windows but had not began shopping around for them, yet, as I have other home repair projects I wanted to finish, first. The idea of getting a good deal made this seem like something to move forward with until I realized it might not be a good deal, after all. I'm attaching a screenshot of the estimate. Please, let me know what you think.

Tina - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Hi Tina, so 21 windows for $31K is not a great deal in my opinion. Certainly you would want to get several more bids to see what else is out there and what prices and products are available to you.

I would search for a dealer in order to get Milgard Trinsic v300 prices, one who sells the Amerimax Craftsman Portrait, and one who sells either the Simonton Reflections 5500 series or the Simonton Impressions 9800 series.

Collect these bids if possible and I’m happy to take a look at the cost and give you my impressions.

Dane, we got an Insignia estimate yesterday for 25 windows at $1,000 per window. Rep states with Covid and supply chain issues that is the new permanent price. Is that true or is it possible that recent building backup has raised all window prices and they will never go black down? Better prices in Utah currently?

Kirk - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Kirk, that bid is high in my opinion, although the COVID demand and supply chain issues are valid points. I'll give you the same advise I'm giving lots of consumers lately -- keep looking until you find a fair price. This is the only way you can be sure that the price quote you are getting is the fair market price that you deserve. And then send me what you find and I can weigh in on the best options for your budget and long term value and ROI.

Here is my list . [List Pulled -- contact Tim for his windows list.]

Apex Windows Promotional Price

Hi Dane, we are looking to replace a number of windows in our home and recently met with Apex Windows. The came by the house and presented an "Apex Promotional Home" discount for 30 windows of about $33,000 if we made a near term decision to sign up for the program.

There was a pressure sale tactic and I was curious if you think that a bit over $1100/ window is a reasonable cost for this quality of window. The cost was inclusive of installation. If we didn't "qualify" for the promotional program then the price would increase to about $42,000.

We are in Colorado and are looking to reach out to other providers to get bids. I have seen you suggest Sunrise so we will start there. However, any other guidance that you could provide would be appreciated.

Many thanks.

Andrew- Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Hi Andrew, thanks for the email. A couple of points here. $1100 per window for simple replacement windows is highway robbery…except that these sorts of prices have been cropping up again and again and againlately :) Apex has a bit of a mixed record for me. If this were my project, I would collect more bids and not worry about Apex right now. What credible company says if you sign today I’ll knock of $9000? Does their cost go up somehow? I just don’t buy it.

In Colorado, I would suggest looking at Sunrise, Amerimax, Anlin, and Zen (which sells Soft-Lite). All of these brands are quite good in their mid range and premium series. Get a couple of bids from these companies and see where they come in. Send me the bid prices and let’s go from there. Here's a link to our consumer Anlin window reviews.

Apex Energy Cost vs. Okna 600

Hi Dane, I ran into your website while researching window manufacturers and was hoping to get your opinion on some of our options. I must say, comparing out window quotes (4 in all so far) is far from comparing apples to apples, it's more like comparing apples to spaceships!

Our house was built in 1989 and I fear many of our window frames have wood rot to deal with. At this point we are planning on replacing all the windows, including 6 half round windows. We intend to stay in our house for the next 25 or so years.

We were impressed with the Apex Energy Solution presentation but it's hard to tell if we were being well educated or given an excellent sales pitch. The price is in line with other quotes so we are leaning in that direction. Below is that quote and attached are 2 others along with some supporting documents we were sent.



Thanks so much for any help you can give!

Proposal Breakdown (Apex Energy Solution):

Standard double hungs (7) $846.00 each
Standard double hung window, Tempered, with obscure glass (2) $966.00 per
Large double hungs eliminating transoms (2) $969.00
Large Picture in front (1) $1057.00
Double Casement in downstairs bedroom (1) $1430.00
Double casement above downstairs bath, tempered, (1) $1473.00
Double Casements converted from 2 double hung, upstairs (2) $1276.00
Large Picture window in stairwell (1)$1076.00
Circle Tops (2) $1057.00, (2) $1283.00, (1) $1735.00, (1) $1382.00

Installation includes replacing any rotten wood within the opening for free. All units come standard with a 1" thick triple pane glass package with 2 chambers of argon gas and 2 layers of Low-e protection. In addition, all frames and sashes will be foam filled with our Polyisosyanurate foam.

Okna bid is for everything above and comes to $29K.

Richard - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Richard, if I'm reading this right, the Apex bid is roughly $24K, the Reliabilt bid is $28K, and the Okna 600 bid is $29K. For me, the Okna 600 bid is the better long term value if you are staying in your home long term. The Apex would be right behind this one. Their window is good, the Okna 600 is excellent.

I think you would be just fine with the Apex bid if their installation track record is really good. If it isn't great, then I think you should consider spending the extra on the Okna. You could also try to ask the Okna dealer to match the Apex bid and see what he can do for you. The Reliabilt bid would be out for me.

That is my take on the three bids.

Apex Windows vs Renewal By Andersen

Hello! We're in White Bear Lake, MN and looking to replace what are currently six casements in our south-facing living room and two double-hungs in our bedroom (one faces west and one faces north). We would like to replace the living room windows with a large picture window and two casements and we're considering switching to casements in the bedroom to optimize on open views and (what I've read to be) better energy efficiency.

We received three bids:

Apex Energy Solutions: $8049
(this is at their "promotional home" price, which I know is a weird sales tactic but I wasn't too creeped out by their pitch)

Champion Comfort 365 Series: $17,583 before their current sale which brought the quote down to $8792
(this pitch confused me a little because the salesperson really wanted us to go with a slider in the living room, a style that I've read is not as energy efficent, and they said we HAD to switch to at least one casement in the bedroom to adhere to current fire codes, but when I checked on that it seemed as though a double-hung would still meet that code)

Renewal by Andersen: $15,933 before the "Twin Cities Offer" that brought the quote to $12,110

I'd love any thoughts you have on these quotes. Thank you!

Kate - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Kate, that's a crazy drop on the Champion bid from $17K to $8.7K. I would rate the Apex and the Champion about the same, with the nod going to the Champion. The Renewal bid seems out of range of what should be considered a fair price. I would probably base my decision on which of the installation companies had the better reviews and reputation myself. I think this will make a bigger difference than the small differences between the windows. I'd feel comfortable having either one of these windows in my own home.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2021


Apex Energy Solutions Windows Price Quote

I have 6 double hungs, 2 picture windows, 6 two lite sliders,1 three lite slider, and 2 eyebrow windows. The Apex Energy Solutions bid was $19.5K for the 17 windows. According to him this would normally cost $42K.

Thought I would share the bid price.

Apex Windows Price List

Hi Tim, I live near Nashville in Franklin TN. I have 9 windows. I have an older quote from Renewal by Anderson and two recent quotes from Lowe’s with Pella 250 windows for about $7500 and Apex quoted their Insignia windows at $7400. I noticed you mention some other brands on your website, can you suggest any brands or better windows or companies in my area I can call please? I’m looking to purchase ASAP.

Tania - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Tania, I would put the Pella 250 and Insignia on par with one another. Both are quality mid range windows, maybe not my favorite, but certainly worth a look. Below is my recommended brands and options list. Also, if you would like some quality local bids you can use our Price Quote Form, beginning with your zip code where it says Find Local Five Star Rated Pros. The bids are free and you can send them to me and I'm more than happy to provide you with my take on the bids you receive.

Apex Insignia Cost Quote

Tim,vas of now I have 2 quotes for 10 window replacements.

Apex Energy Insignia - $8000

Provia Endure - $8600

The Provia installer is a small company that was started by someone who was a window installer for about 15 years, and decided to start his own company.

Thanks.

Ray - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Ray, in my opinion, the ProVia Endure is the much better window over the Insignia. Definitely worth the extra $600.

Apex Insignia Windows Cost

Hi Tim, I've been reading your 2020 email responses regarding Insignia pricing. I am in Minnesota and was quoted a little over 13k for 13 retrofit Window replacements. At first I thought this pricing was fair, but after reading your responses it looks like the pricing for this grade of window should be around $600 installed. However, I was speaking with a buddy that does exterior work in Texas and he told me that his dealer costs have gone up significantly in the past two years. What is your opinion on current pricing? Is 13k for 13 double hung Apex retrofits steep?

I greatly appreciate your time and opinion on the matter.

Luke - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Luke, I think prices have gone up and supply has been limited during Covid. As to whether it's fair to charge you $1000 for a retrofit Apex window, my notion is no. I've heard Apex bid out at that price, but I don't think that's the best price by a long shot. I hear a broad spectrum of price quotes so I personally think there are still good deals out there, but you have to search for them. Here is my good and great list if you want to continue your search.

Apex Window Price Quotes

Hey Tim, great information on your site. Thank you. I’m replacing 7 double hung wood windows on a 1940s bungalow in Atlanta. I’m not sure if these are originals or not - I don’t think they are. I’ve had quotes from Home Depot, Anderson, Apex and North Georgia Window Replacement. I’m leaning toward Apex - which quoted me around $4800. When I spoke with the North Georgia company and Anderson, they were very against vinyl windows, however, the product they sell was more than double the cost. I’m not ready to spend $12K on this project. Thoughts on my options? I plan to be in the home for many years.

Thanks!

Jason - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Jason, most homeowners go with vinyl windows. Andersen, at least Renewal, sells a composite that is effectively vinyl and sawdust, so that's kind of rich coming from them :) A high quality vinyl window is usually the way to go in terms of cost, maintenance, and long term resilience. (A vinyl window typically carries a limited lifetime warranty, while a wood clad window typically carries a 20 year warranty. I don't put much stock in warranties, but I do think they indicate what a company thinks of their own product's life span.)

Apex is a good, but not great, vinyl window. It is actually an Alside 8000 series. A very decent window though. Given profession installation, this will last you for the next 30 years. But check the online reviews of the Apex branch doing the work.

Sunrise is a better brand in my opinion and they should have a dealer in your area. Also check for Polaris. Here, I'll include my good and great list, just in case you want to put yourself through more bids...fun, fun right?

Hi, I received a quote for 16 windows from Apex for $13987. Not sure if this is a good price or not. My home is considered a promo home. I had a quote from power last year that was significantly higher but for 22 windows at over 19k.

Please advise !

Maria - Homeowner - from 2021

Apex Windows Prices

Tim, I live in Raleigh NC and I was looking to replace 18 windows in my house, all of equal size (2.8’x4.5’) with the exception of one slightly wider window, and I had several bids come in.

I had someone from APEX with a 10k quote

Lowes (Pella) with a 13k quote

Home Depot with a 16k quote

And RBA with a 30k quote.

My one and only must have is the STC rating >35 because I live near a well-traveled, single lane road. I’m thinking an STC of 35 should be ok.

While I want to throw out the RBA (expensive and scummy sales), the others had a lot of internet ranting and problems. Oddly, everyone likes the Fibrex and Andersen stuff despite being expensive.

Two questions: should I shoot for a higher STC? Out of the brands you know of, which do you think will give me a bigger STC bang for the buck?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Mark - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Mark, the RBA quote is about what I'd expect, which is to say quite high. The best of the others is probably the Apex at $10K. To be honest, I don't know what the STC rating is on the Alside 8000 series, which is what they sell. You should be able to work with the Apex rep to bump that window close to that 35 STC rating. The glass package is going to go quite far to getting you somewhere close. A glass offset option or laminate glass would be places I would start to bump up that STC. The triple pane option with a glass offset might be an option as well.

That Pella quote isn't bad either. I like the Pella 350 casement in terms of its air infiltration numbers. Pella tends to be priced high because of the name.

Proper insulation in walls is also important to dampening external sound and one place that homeowners often overlook when they are trying to figure out ways to lessen the amount of sound that enters from outside. You can hire someone to come in and test your walls if you feel like this might be a place that is hurting you as well.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2021

[Tim's Reply]

Thanks for the reply Tim.

I wasn't impressed with the Alside and Pella had a lot of complaints online but I certainly understand only the angry will post. The nice part of the Pella was that it was a Lowes project and as a Vet I get some discounts there that I couldn't find elsewhere.

As for the insulation, I'm pretty sure my walls keep out the rain and that's about it! But I agree and that is another project on my list.

Alside Insignia 8000 Triple Pane Cost

Tim & Dane, I have come across your website and it is truly a wealth of information...although I am driving myself crazy trying to figure out what windows to buy, and from whom. I am replacing all the windows in my ranch-style home, a total of 35 windows, mostly large casement and picture windows, with just a few small transoms and a couple of small round tops. No double hung.

Because the windows are all 11 inches from my floor, almost all of them need to be tempered glass. I asked all the contractors to include capping or wrapping the exterior trim to be included in their bids. I live in the Atlanta area (Roswell, GA to be exact) and am a Realtor, so I am somewhat familiar with construction companies, building codes, etc.

Here are the bids I have received so far:

Infinity by Marvin (North GA Replacement Windows): $66,000

Soft Lite Pro (Visionaire Windows): $40,700

Great Lakes - Comfort Smart (Visionaire Windows): $38,500

Zen Nirvana (using Soft Lite Classic) - Zen Windows Columbus, GA: $32,865

Alside Insignia 8000 triple pane (Apex Energy Solutions): $23,571

Also, Simonton 5500 Series (Called SperiorGuard from Superior Pro Exteriors): $28,286...but they wouldn't quote the 4 transoms because they are only 10" tall...kind of a turn-off because they are on the front of my house and I don't want to eliminate them or have to deal with them separately, so I am inclined to throw this bid out.

The Apex bid is so much lower than the others, which is very tempting even though it seems that their Alside window is not as good as the others (but wow what a difference in price!). For casement windows, is it worth paying a lot more for the different brands and models? Clearly the Infinity by Marvin is way out of line. If I am not going to go with Alside, I am thinking the Zen Nirvana @ $32,865 would be my next choice...but it is $10k more than the Apex bid...What do you think? I'd love to get hear your opinions...

Kindest Regards.

Mitch - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Mitch, I'm having a hard time getting away from that Insignia triple pane bid myself. The Alside 8000 is not a bad window. It's probably close to the Soft Lite classic. Here's what I think you need to check: the reputation and online reviews for the Apex branch you are working with. The branch out of Atlanta gets really solid reviews. Assuming good reviews, this would probably be what I would go with just because they are sooooo much less expensive.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2020

[Mitch's Reply]

Thanks Dane, I have actually spoken with several people I know who have used Apex and the sales rep I am working with, they like him and are happy with the product. I really appreciate your insights and confirmation about what I was thinking, it really helps!

I hope you have a great Christmas and holiday season - keep up the good work!

Kindest Regards.

Apex Window Price Bid

Hey Guys, I'm in the Atlanta, GA area and recently received quotes for the following: This includes 17 Vinyl Replacement Windows/Low E/Argon/Outdoor Trim – 16 double-hung, and a large picture window with installation and everything. We currently have 22-year old builder grade aluminum single pane windows that are horrible. They barely work, so anything is an upgrade. We plan on being here for at least another 5-years, so they should be good for us and good for resale.

Window Universe – $13.5K (double pane)

Apex - $11.5K (triple pane)

Soft-Lite Nirvana – $15.5K (double pane)

Thoughts or advice?

I'm kinda leaning towards the Window Universe. A friend used them and were very happy with the experience.

Rob - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Rob, Window Universe typically sells the Revere Berkshire Elite as their go-to window. This is a relabeled Alside Mezzo. The Insignia is a relabeled Alside 8000 series. The 8000 series is the better window, in my opinion, over the Mezzo. Plus they are selling you triple pane. Plus it's the cheapest of the bids. Plus you are only staying in the home for another 5 years. For these reasons, my bet would be on the Apex bid.

This comes with two caveats: one, that the local Apex dealer has good online reviews. Two, that Window Universe is selling you the Alside Mezzo.

Dane - Website Editor - from 2020

[Rob's Reply]

Thanks Dane - Actually, my boss was the one who referred me to Apex and is quite happy with their product in his home from 4-5 years ago. You are correct that it is triple pane over the double with Window Universe.

Window Universe touts their balance system as being better as its Block and Tackle versus Apex's Constant Force. Their windows are also a true sloped drip edge versus weep holes, but I'm not sure these things add up to $1500 worth of expenses.

Both companies offer Lifetime Warranties on all the same things - so we should be covered if anything goes sideways.

As you mentioned, Window Universe did state it was an Alside product, not specifically Mezzo, but that they were the manufacturer. He also mentioned a name change (rebranding?) of their window, but I can recall what he said, and everything I have for docs show Revere and Berkshire Elite, so you are spot on.

Appreciate the response, and I "hope" to be out of here within 5-years, but regardless looks like I'll be giving Apex a call back.

Rob - Homeowner - from 2020


Apex Windows Cost

Tim, we just had an Apex Rep give us their pitch on becoming a "Promotional Home" for our neighborhood.

We were told that as the "Promotional Home" we would be getting a 58% discount on their Insignia windows. This includes free installation/labor.

We have a total of 15 windows to be replaced. (2 arched with grids, 1 picture window, 1 sliding window, 5 double(10) and one small bathroom).

We were given a quote of just under $19k which works out to about $1,250 per window. This seems to be a little on the high side after reading some of the other posts here.

I have not received any other competing quotes as we were not actively looking to replace our windows just yet, but APEX approached us to be their model home.

Our windows do need replacing, so we allowed them to come and give us a quote.

The quote was for white frames. We have dark framed windows now. Getting dark framed windows with Apex would add another $250 per window according to the APEX rep. This seems very excessive.

Would other companies add to the price for dark frames as well?

Any guidance, comments and suggestions would be helpful, especially on the price that was quoted to us.

Thank you.

MJK - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

MJK, $1250 per window is pretty darn high. Of course, I don't know the condition of your windows, so I can't say for certain. I would certainly get more bids and I would be surprised if you couldn't get a comparable window for less money. Where are you located? I can probably make some recommendations.

Apex Windows vs Zen

Hi, I received a quote for 27 triple pane low e and 1 triple pane 6’x7’ sliding glass door from two vendors, zen lotus soft lite pro and insignia e2 by apex energy solutions The prices were comparable at around 28k.
The zen windows were the Lotus Supreme Triple Pane - Soft-Lite's Pro Line and the apex windows were the insignia e2 by apex energy solutions. The zen windows have a lifetime full warranty on parts and labor while the insignia has a limited lifetime warranty lifetime on parts and a two years warranty on labor and installation. what is your comment on the best choice.
Thanks.

Bruce - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Bruce, the Soft-Lite Pro is the better window over the Alside 8000, which is really what the Apex Insignia e2 is. It's an older design of a window in the Pro, but still a solid vinyl window. I think you could probably do better on this price if these are replacement windows and not new construction installation. You might want to get one or two more to see, but currently you're looking at say $900 per window. I don't know what the window specifics are, but that seems high to me (even with the triple pane option). I could be wrong, but you might want to consider one or two more options.

Apex Window Price Quote

Hi Tim. I have a rotted sill on one casement window (water intrusion), and rotted sashes (bottom sash) on over a dozen other casements.

Apex came by and quoted about 930/window average, for 8 windows. Ive read on your site that most vinyl windows should go between 6-700/window for premium. And Apex is not premium, and 700 is probably too much for Apex.

A local installer confirmed this - his vinyl windows are 650 ea. My question is regarding inserts versus frame replacement.

Apex replaces the entire frame. same size window/glass. It appears most others "insert" a new frame and window in to the existing frame, resulting in a loss of window size, on the order of 1"-2". A local installer stated it would cost about 200 more to replace the frame. so that 650 is now 850.

Could this (they replace the entire frame and wrap the brickmould in weatherproof material) be an explanation for the difference in cost between Apex and other vinyl replacements?

I may be missing something. Thanks for taking the time enlighten us.

Thanks.

Bobby - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Bobby, so it sounds like you definitely have some work to do on the sills. Whether or not this requires inserts or full frame is still an open question. In these cases, I usually suggest more bids so you can pick the brain of those dealers coming out to give you a bid. Call it free professional advise. You may not have to do full frame replacement, but it's going to depend on the extent of the damage. The cost added for the full frame replacement is about right at $200 per window.

Apex often, but not always, bids out initially way over price. I think the Insignia, or Alside 8000, which is what Apex sells, is worth $500 to $600 fully installed.

I'd get two or three more bids to see what's out there.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2020

[Bobby's Reply]

Thanks for the quick reply. I just got off the phone with Apex. Theirs are inserts as well. They just wrap the existing frame in “G8 Coil” and seal it so it’s maintenance free. Confirmed, they said they sell the Alside 8000.

I’m not crazy about losing up to an inch of glass when I have windows that are 2’x5’.

I told him 650 seems to be the going rate for top vinyl, and his response was that they aren’t dual color, triple pane, insulated, etc for 650. He said needed to compare his to the top windows selling for 2k, but Apex doesn’t have the marketing overhead, etc.

I have a small business guy coming out tomorrow who sells Pella and Anderson Windows. We’ll see what he says about that.

Of course I’d appreciate any additional feedback you have.

Leo - Homeowner - from 2020


Apex Energy Windows Cost

Good morning gentlemen, I, like many others, was approached by an Apex Energy salesmen who indicated that they'd like to make our home a 'promo home' and sell us their products at a very low cost in order to use it as a promo in the neighborhood we live in (Nashville, TN).

We just purchased our home ~4 months ago and our windows are OLD - single pane, painted shut, and in bad shape in general. The windows were something we knew we'd want to replace in the near future, but weren't planning on it yet - however with such a 'great deal' it'd be hard to say no. Our home has 14 windows that vary in size, but the largest are 82" tall so we have a limited number of options from each company.

We've had 3 companies come out and provided quotes, and have one more coming. We had Apex, Pella, Home Depot (selling Simonton 6500 series), and Renewal by Anderson will be coming by this afternoon. Their quotes ended up being $8500, $22000, and $11300 respectively, and we're expecting the RBA quote to be the highest.

By price alone, Apex seems to be the best deal. I understand their windows are essentially an Alside 8000, but I'm unsure how the quality compares to that of the Simonton 6500. The Simonton 6500 quote did include their 'impenetrable glass' in order to cut down on noise. We'd be willing to pay the extra if we were getting a better product and go with the Simonton.

Is this a situation which going with Apex may be the right choice??

Thank you for your time!

Best.

Frank - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Frank, thanks for the question. So basically your bids are as follows:

$607 each from Apex

$807 each from Simonton

$1571 each from Pella

The best value from my perspective here is the Apex. The Insignia is pretty comparable to the Simonton 6500, although I would probably give the edge to the Simonton. But paying $807 for a Simonton window, and not even their best series, is pretty ridiculous. The Pella quote is way too high.

From what you've given me, the Apex quote provides the best value. Before I went forward though, I would make sure that the Apex Energy branch doing the work has good reviews and a good reputation for quality work.

Andy, it does sound high. I'd look at brands like Sunrise, Soft-Lite, Okna, Polaris, and Marvin. Compare these bids and see how the pricing compares.

Apex’s Insignia Price Quotes

Hi, we currently have 40yr old wood Anderson windows (18 casements, 35 panes) and many need replacing. We want to know what a reasonable price is for this. We have been quoted $1400 (includes taxes and installation) per casement using the Insignia. I did not see this model on your website. Do you have any recommendations revenant to this?

Joan - Homeowner - from 2020

Joan, the only real way to know what the best price for your project is by getting a few bids. The $1400 per window for the Insignia is, in my opinion, way too much. It really depends on how large the windows and much much work is involved in the installation.

Brands you should look for include Soft-Lite, Okna, Sunrise, Polaris, Kensington, Vytex and maybe Vinylmax.

Search for local companies that carry these brands in your city and state. Collect your bids and feel free to send them my way.

Apex Windows vs Milgard

Tim, I have a quote from Apex for $31K for 32 windows and a slider. This is with the bronzed exterior ($3.5K more). I am in Portland OR and not sure if this is a good deal. I like the windows well enough the triple pane etc. But I don’t want to over spend and their “promotion” seems a little fishy. That said I had a quote for $48K for Milgards.

Nathan - Homeowner - from 2020

Nathan, so you have 33 windows to replace. I am shocked that Milgard wants to charge you $48k, unless its for one of their wood clad or fiberglass clad windows. They do tend to charge alot for their exterior colors though.

Still, $31k for 33 Apex windows is pricey, although lets take out the 3.5k so that it's really $27.5K. Still pricey in my opinion (and I agree with you on their promotional pricing, although I'm sure it's effective for them).

Oregon is a tricky state for window recommendations.

I think you need one or two more bids to check against the Apex bid. What about a Simonton Reflections 5500. It's a comparable window and it might be quite a bit less. Search for a local Simonton dealer (not one through Lowes or HD.)

I'm racking my brain for another window to try. Maybe a Ply Gem Pro or Premium model from a local dealer?

Nathan, the Wincore 7700 would be my number one, followed closely by the Insignia.

Apex Insignia Window Costs

I live in Georgia and have my original wood windows that really need to be replaced. I have 11 double-hungs and 3 picture windows. Apex gave me a quote of $9100.

Sun - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Hi Sun, so that's not a bad price for the Insignia window. I might get a couple more bids just to see how this compares.

Dane - Website Editor - from 2020


Apex Insignia Windows Cost

Hi Tim, I have an estimate for 11 double-hungs and 3 picture windows. APEX gave me a bid on the Insignia windows at $9100.

Apex Insgnia Window Bid

Thanks Tim, I got a few more estimates that I liked. I still like the Insgnia for $8000, now Zen Windows has offered their Nirvana window for $7400 and Window Depot is selling their Alside Mezzo Dual Pane for 7735 or Triple Pane for 8385. I like all 3 companies and what they have to offer, I just think it's down to the window now. Thanks again for your knowledge.

Jeremy - Homeowner - from 2020

Jeremy, I think the Insignia or Zen Nirvana are the way to go. Either one should serve you well with quality installation. Good luck on your project!

Apex Windows Cost

I have an in with someone at Apex who said they can do $650 a window for me. Does this sound like a decent price for the Apex window? I'm just outside of Nasheville Tennessee.

Also got a quote for the Zen Nirvana for $550 per window. If I want to upgrade to the Lotus model it will cost me $95 extra per window.

Any thoughts here?

Dave - Homeowner - from 2020

Dave, that doesn't sound unreasonable for the Alside 8000 window, which is what the Apex Energy window really is. The window isn't a world beater and you could probably get a better deal on another brand...like the Zen Nirvana window for $550 a window. I like the Soft-Lite Classic series (which is what most Zen dealers sell as their Nirvana, if they are selling Alside windows, then I'm not so sure).

I'd rather have the Classic over the Alside 8000 -- given the fact that the Classic is $100 less, this goes double.

Apex Windows Prices

Tim, I have 18 windows and one sliding patio door. Apex Energy has a quote at $14k for triple pane window. Are these good and is this a great price?

Thanks.

Steve - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Reply]

Steve, that's a pretty steep price for 18 windows. Apex is an okay window, but you could do better for $14K.

Apex Energy Double Hung Bid

I have 21 single panes that need to be replaced. Recently, an Apex Energy salesman came and gave me a bid for the project for $17,000.

Apex Insignia Cost Bid

We had a salesman recently pitch us on the Insignia line. They kind of just knocked on our door and started talking. We have 22 windows and their bid to us was $13k.

Apex Insignia Windows Quote

We're in Kansis City have taken your advice and gotten a few bids around town. We had a Pella Windows Cost Bid: $42,300 on a 350 vinyl window, an Apex quote for $27,500 on an Insignia window and a Champion Windows Prices Quote: $31,800 on one of their vinyl windows (not sure the model). We have I believe 30 windows that need replacing.

Mandy - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Reply]

The Champion quote would be my choice. Probably not the Apex, although they make a decent vinyl window. The Champion is better in my opinion.

Apex Insignia Price Quote

Dane and Tim, Apex is quoting me at $700 per window all in. Marvin windows quoted me at $1,000 per window for their Infinity.

John - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Reply]

John, $700 per window for a relabeled Alside series window is not worth it. I understand not wanting to spend $1000 per for the Marvin, but you should be able to get a top tier vinyl window for $700 per window. Unfortunately, the Alside is not that.
