Sunrise Windows Cost :: Essentials Series

The Essentials window is their entry level option, although it's still probably a better option than many company's mid range vinyl window. Instead of the extrusions and sash design used in other Sunrise lines, it uses less durable versions of each to reduce production costs.

The colors are limited and it only comes in a double hung, slider, and picture window. Most homeowners would do well to stretch to the Standard Sunrise model, if possible, although with a .07 air infiltration, that is not a bad window at all. Compare the Sunrise Essentials Series to the Amerimax Masters Grande - see all Amerimax windows pricing.

RAMCO Sunrise Windows Cost

11 Windows(10 with one mulled double window) in Memphis which is rated south/central for energy star.

Lowes reliabilt 3201 $9,100

Lowes Pella 250 $11,400

Home Depot Simonton 6500 $11,000

Home Depot Simonton 6100 $9400

Window world 6000 with solar zone elite $8,000

RAMCO Essentials power E $9,000

RAMCO Sunrise standard Ultra-U $11,500

RAMCO has a good record for backing up their installs. However it is a local one owner company and I wonder if his customer first attitude will continue when he retires.

Home Depot worries me due to limited warranty on their install. Window World impressed me and a friend who owned a window business years ago looked at them when his daughter and son-in-law bought them and he said they were a very good window, but a few complaints to BBB in past year mostly for installation. We are 76 so 20 year payback is probably not in the cards.....we just want a decent window.

Ray - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Ray, I think the best deal in the bunch is one of the Sunrise windows -- these would give me the least worry that something will happen in year 11 or 12 of the life of the window -- this is when Window World's product begin to fail. Most of the time, a good window will last 25 years with no issues (unless it's an install issue that crops up within the first or second year). If you can stretch into the Sunrise standard this would be my preference, but the Essentials is still quite a good window and nearly the lowest cost quote on the board. That's my own take on what you have.

Sunrise Essentials Door Price Quote

Hi there! I am looking to replace my triple patio door with a sunrise. I got a quote from one dealer for a vanguard for $7600. Another dealer has their own brand of sunrise but it is their own hybrid line. They don’t know what line of sunrise it is comparable to. It is about $1000 less than the vanguard. They do not have a sample hybrid door to look at. The brochure says that it has polyurethane frame insulation so I don’t think it’s the Essentials line. The r and u values, etc are the same as the vanguard.

Should I assume that this hybrid is a vanguard? Don’t know what to do. Thanks for your help!

Michele - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Michele, that's a pricey patio door. I would probably get a couple more bids to round out the offerings.

Sunrise Windows Cost Bid

Hey Tim! I really liked the Sunrise dealer here in Atlanta. I was able to get the 7 double hung “Essential” for $4200 - which was exactly my budget. After looking at some reviews, I asked them about the middle of the line version and they said the cost difference between that and the high end - “Restorations" wasn’t a whole lot and that they don’t try to sell them much because of that. The cost for 7 “Restorations” was almost $2K more than the Essentials.

I’m on a budget and would rather not spend $2K more. Should I stick with the “Essentials” and be happy with new windows — or do you think I’ll regret that and I should maybe start looking at something else. I plan to be in the home for a long time and don’t want to be disappointed.

One other note, I was also trying to get a quote for the Okna windows. The company here has a 10 window minimum. I talked them into allowing me to get 7 since that is my entire home. BUT, they don’t have a lead paint license and because my home was built in 1942, they are required to test for that. So Okna, is out of the picture (only one in Georgia).

Thanks for you input!

Jason - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Jason, there is definitely a difference between the Sunrise Standard vs Essentials. The Essentials is like a good mid range window. If you are good with that level of quality, then I say go for it. I like that you like the dealer, that improves the situation. Assuming professional and thorough installation, the Essentials should serve you well.

That's a shame about the Okna -- 10 window minimum, I've never heard that one!

If you do want to keep looking, I'm happy to send you my good and great list of windows.

Sunrise Essential Cost

I've found y'alls website very helpful. Thank you! We have a house in a suburb of Atlanta GA, house was built in 1982, still has the original single pane windows. We plan on being here a long time.

I got several bids to budget then again for final once I saved up, everyone from Window World, Apex Energy Solutions, some local manufacturers and the few below I narrowed down to.

26 DH + (2) picture windows, everyone bid the same quantities.

Zen Nirvana at $15,070
** The local Zen dealer sold back to the original franchisor out of Columbus Ohio, they use a local installer, no reviews except for 1 since 2016, kind of wary of that **

Okna 500 at $15,474
($557 smaller DH/ $588 larger DH)

Okna 600 at $16,009
($579 smaller DH / $610 larger DH)
** These are from a local company, 5.0 on google and other sites. I would see if I negotiate down a little.

Large picture is $744
Small picture is $552, this specific price seems sky high. 16"x32"

Also just for comparison locally for other readers:
Window World - ~$12,xxx
Essential - $16,900
Verde at $22,250
Apex Insignia at $19,700(with there "marketing" discount)
Power Home Remodeling (Pella)- $27,000

Ty - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Ty, the Okna bids are really good bids. I would go with the Okna 600 at $16,009. Excellent window and compared to the bids you listed at the bottom, those prices are great. Considering the reviews are great, this decision would be a no brainer for me. Good for you because prices have been through the roof during COVID. (More Powerhrg reviews here.)

Sunrise Essentials Pricing

We have 20 windows that need to be replaced as soon as possible. We collected four bids, but I'm having a hard time understanding which are the ones to consider.

Essentials: $14.2K
Great Lakes ComfortSmart: $10K

Don - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

Don, the Sunrise Essentials is overpriced in that grouping. All of the others look to be appropriate for the quality of the window. I would go with the Reflections or Classic series if these were my bids.

Sunrise Windows Cost Essentials Series

Hi, I have two bids, the Sunrise Essentials for $14,735 or the Vytex Grandview for $18,529. The project involves 30 double hungs and from what I can tell the installation quality would be similar in quality.

Sunrise Windows Cost :: Classic Or Standard Series

The Classic is certainly an upgrade from the Essentials model. It uses a nicer vinyl extrusion that is actually the same basic frame for all of the upgraded window series from Sunrise, including the Verde, Vanguard and Restorations. The only difference between the classic Sunrise and the upgraded models is the standard upgrades that come with the higher end series.

The standard Sunrise should be available for ala carte upgrades though, which provides consumers with some nice flexibility in terms of tailoring the window to their specific situation or needs. Overall, the standard Sunrise window is a high end mid range vinyl window that many industry experts would recommend for good long term value. Compare the Sunrise Classic to the Ply Gem Premium window.

Sunrise Windows Prices

We are replacing 19 windows total and have a few bids. I have a Home Depot bid for a Simonton Vantagepoint series $15,000. Next is an Amerimax Portrait Craftsman series - $14,300. Lastly, Sunrise (I guess their Classic) - $17,800. Curious on your thoughts.

Dawn - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

I think the Sunrise option makes the most sense to me, especially if you plan to be in your home long term. If you plan to be in the home for 8 years or fewer, then I would say go with the Amerimax Portrait Craftsman.

Janelle, if you are only planning to be there another ten years, my call here would be the Sunrise windows for $7455. This is going to be the best return on investment for that timeline.

Sunrise Windows Price List

Dane, I'm in the Kansas City area and have quite a few windows that need replacement (wood rot, broken seals, etc.). I received two quotes, one from Energy Pro and one from Apex, and was wondering what your thoughts were. Energy Pro quoted me $45,870 for 40 windows and Apex quoted $50,625 for 38 windows. I believe the difference is that Energy Pro quoted a sliding basement window that Apex did not quote and Energy Pro counted an eyebrow window as a separate window that Apex included in their quote for the window it is above. That being said, the apples for apples comparison would be more like $44,845 (Energy Pro) vs. $50,625 (Apex). I don't have the Apex quote in my hands but I've included the Energy Pro quote below in case it might be of value to you now or in the future.

Thanks in advance for any help!

Adam - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Adam, the Sunrise 4000 series is the better window over the Apex Insignia in my opinion. Energy Pro gets excellent reviews, and its the cheaper of the bids to boot. This is an easy decision for me here. Energy Pro and Sunrise all the way!

Sunrise Single Hung Cost

Hi Dane, I have one bathroom window that I want replaced and got a quote from a local Sunrise dealer. It's a 33 1/2 X 28 bathroom window. I got a quote for a Sunrise series single hung for $904 and double hung for $1012. I didn't see the "Sunrise" model on your site, so I'm not sure if this is a low end or mid end window. What do you think of the price? It's Energy Star S2210A rated. This dealer does everything in house from installing to warranty work. Does this price seem high or about right with the inflation going on? Thanks.

Kurtis - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Kurtis, I would say this is about the going rate. Maybe a bit high. I would say to get a couple more quotes if you want to compare some pricing.

Sunrise Windows vs Window World

Hi. We are replacing 14 double hung vinyl windows in our home. Got a price from Window World on their 4000 Series model. Also got one from Sunrise for their Sunrise series. Thought about getting a quote on United too. We are wanting a middle of the road window.

We plan on being in our home for about 16 to 20 more years.

Window World is $11,664/ $833 per window installed

Sunrise is $14,548/ $1039 per window installed

Thanks for your response.

Mitch - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Mitch, for that timeline, I would go with the Sunrise bid myself. The additional $3K is quite a bit, but it is worth it on my opinion. The Sunrise window is just so much better than the WW4000 series. I would say the WW4000 is less than a mid range window, while a Sunrise is a low end top tier window.

Leap Sunrise Windows Bid

I have a bid from Leap Windows, Doors & More on 10 Sunrise-standards or classics -- tear out, installation, and exterior capping on all 10 windows. The cost is $8888, is this reasonable? I also have a bid from Lowes on the Pella 250 series.

Erin - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Erin, I only saw the Sunrise quote, not the Lowes. I will say this -- Sunrise makes an excellent window, while Lowes does not carry a single window I would have in my own house. The price from the Sunrise dealer, Leap Windows, looks like a fair price for what you are getting. Plus, Leap appears to receive excellent reviews from the cursory check I did on them. (But please double check their online reviews.) If this were my project and I was planning to stay in my home for 10 or more years, I would absolutely go with the Sunrise option.

Sunrise Windows Cost vs Wincore

Hi Dane, I got the following quote from my local Sunrise Window dealer and was wondering what your thoughts are:

Sunrise standard model with Omega 12 solar glass package.

One 6ft Sliding Patio Door: $2,100.00

One 48"x53" Picture window with grids: $600.00

Five 60"x60" Double Sliders with grids: $4,000.00 ($800 each)

I got a quote for Wincore 500 series, which came to the following, which is much lower, but I'm not sure if the Sunrise's may be worth over double the cost?

$1,025 - Patio Door

$221 - Picture window

$403 Each - Sliders

Thanks for taking the time!

Kyle - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Kyle, the Sunrise prices are actually pretty darn good, given what I’ve seen lately. I’m seeing doors at the $3K to $5K price point and replacement windows $800 to $1000 per window. The market is quite out of whack lately.

If the Wincore bid is half of that, however, it might be something to seriously consider. The Sunrise is probably worth 30% more over the Wincore brand as a general rule of thumb.

I think timeline would be a big consideration here. If you plan to be in your home long term, then the reasonably priced Sunrise would be something I would consider. If, however, you plan to move in say 10 years or less, then that great deal from Wincore is a strong contender.

I hope this gives you some direction between these two options. It would be a tricky one for me, for sure…

Sunrise Ultra U Plus Cost

We are replacing 12 windows in the NW burbs of Chicago. 8 are casements others are picture. The ultra u is quoted at $17.8K and Comfort Smart at $15.7K. Is Sunrise worth the extra cost?

Best Regards.

Robert - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Robert, I would say that the Ultra U is probably worth the cost difference in this case. Not cheap bids for 12 windows huh? There is an Okna dealer who you may want to grab a bid from. He is also not cheap, but is quite good. I would be curious how the Okna 500 would compare to the Sunrise bid.

If this is your forever home, I think the Sunrise makes sense fore sure. If not, then I’m not completely sold.

Hello and Happy New Year!

I have found your site to be VERY informative in helping to decide on which replacement windows to install into our home that was built in 1995.

I have decided on a contractor and brand and would like to know your opinion on our most recent quote.

We have a total of 18 windows, 16 that will be double hung and 2 picture windows. The size of picture windows are 38x75 and 50x75. We received a Sunrise windows cost quote of $13,598. This quote also includes an upgrade to woodgrain on the interior of all windows.

Thank you for your time and I'll look forward to hearing your thoughts.

Marcy - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Hi, so that bid seems pretty reasonable to me on the surface of it. I can't say for sure without having additional bids to compare it with. But Sunrise windows with the upgraded wood laminate should run in that $700 to $750 range.

Sandy - Homeowner - from 2019

Sunrise Standard Windows

Tim, we have 4 windows in total all of which need to be replaced, two are 48 inches by 60 inches and the other two are 49 inches by 48 inches. We got a bid on Sunrise horizontal sliders for $3290. Does this sound right? We have quite a bit of sill rot so they all have to be replaced.

John - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

John, that sounds like it could be right. The sill rot can be an expensive process so that would account for the relatively high per window cost. I'd still get a couple more bids though to see whether you can get a better handle on whether that's a fair price or not.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2018

Sunrise Classic / Standard Window Costs

I have a project with 16 windows and was curious to get your take on the better deal.

Ryan - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

Ryan, the split between these two windows is about what I'd expect. Can't go wrong with either one really. I would say it comes down to which one looks better to you and which price you feel more comfortable paying.

Sunrise Vinyl Replacement Windows Cost

Hello, I recently had Sunrise vinyl replacement windows installed & need to get an estimated cost per window. I had 3 slider windows 72 x 44 and 2 double hungs 26 x 44. I would just like to know a break down of what one of the slider windows and one of the double hungs cost approximately for tax purposes.

Kay - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

Kay, if you had the windows installed, don't you know what you paid. On average, a Sunrise double hung should run $550 to $650 installed. However, it's like asking what a Toyota Highlander costs -- it can run $32K to $45K based on all the features and packages. The same goes for window because there are so many variables with installation requirements.

Sunrise vs Preservations

Hello Dane, we have 2 twin casements and we live in Virginia. Both are 58" x 58." Both will use tempered glass. Here are the quotes we have so far.

Vista Panorama: $1765. The installer has super reviews.

ProVia Aeris: $3575. Their installers seemed good, but I haven't looked at their reviews yet.

Sunrise Windows: $3631. The installer also has super reviews.

Preservation Triple Panes: $4140. Salesman was a bit pushy.

Sunrise Window Costs vs Andersen

Our Sunrise dealer came out and measured/quoted the entire house for me (see attached). We priced all windows with white prairie style grids (upper sash only $33/window), white exterior, white interior, and white hardware. Installation for windows was $460/window with the vendor doing all interior & exterior work. There was a $116 discount from the per-window-install-price for me doing the interior casing and extension jam work which still amounts to me paying a $344/window install charge. It seemed odd to me, but for home owner install sales they offer a 20% discount on the price of the window.

In the end, they quoted a straight sale to me for the Sunrise double hung with the prairie grid in the upper sash is $505.74 including the sales tax. $11 more with optional nailing fin. I think that's an awesome price too which makes the decision that much harder!

The Andersen 400 was has no grid and is $560 plus tax with the nailing fin.

Donald - Homeowner - from 2016

Sunrise Window Costs

I ordered 2 Sunrise double hungs with white exterior, a nailing fin, and colonial cherry interior with two tone matching prairie style grids on the upper sash. Cost after tax was $1250.77 for 2 windows. That is $120 per window more than if I had ordered with the same options and white all around - which really only represents $1680 to upgrade all 14 windows in the home.

In the end we think it's a small price for having them look the way we want, and from more than 5 feet away you can't tell they're not real wood. This Sunrise price is only $25 more per window than the Andersen 400. Really it was an easy decision once I got over my distain for foe wood. Especially considering that the awesome price we got on the Andersen 400 was for a stocked window that matched our exact size. Therefore that awesome price didn't include the grids we wanted, a maintenance free finish, nor an awesome non-prorated lifetime warranty that covers every facet of the window. But hey, I don't have to sell it you - you had the same idea!

Thanks for all your insight and advice. We really appreciate it.

Sunrise Windows Quote

I am going to replace 28 in total – 8 will be picture windows, rest will be either single or double hung). 15 of these windows, get full west sun. 6 of these will be upper level picture windows.

Restorations series, 20 double hung, (8 picture windows) with the 12 layer coating quote was 27K.

Sunrise windows with the 12 layer coating package, 20 single hung windows (8 picture), was over 17K (636 per window). They said the only difference between the restoration package and the sunrise package is the outer frame is not insulated like the restoration style. Also a difference in the locking mechanisms.

Also planning on replacing a patio French door. Changing out a 2 6'8" doors with transom, to 2 – 8' doors. Window world gave a price of $3250 for a therma true door, and the sunrise installer gave a price of $4932 for their steel door. Their brand is Provia.

Angie - Homeowner - from 2016

Standard Sunrise Windows Cost

The Standard Sunrise window is definitely an upgrade from the Essentials model. It uses a nicer vinyl extrusion that is the frame that Sunrise uses for all of it's high end model, just without the upgrades and add ons. For instance, the standard or classic Sunrise window doesn't use come with a fiberglass sash reinforcement or separate tilt lock buttons that come standard on the Verde or Restoration model.

Overall, this window is a very nice mid range vinyl window and one that many contractors would recommend. Compare the Sunrise to Milgard Tuscany Cost.

Standard Sunrise Series Cost

My contractor got great pricing though his distributor for a 400 double hung. The big choice is now between an Andersen 400 for $550 and the Sunrise for $560. The only reason I'm even considering the choice is because our home has stained oak trim and the window would look beautiful stained to match. The white vinyl isn't as attractive looking in a stained frame.

Is the Sunrise still the best option for function and longevity?

Tom - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Tom, that is a fantastic price for the Andersen 400 window. While the Sunrise would probably last longer, the Andersen 400 window is a well made window and the interior wood is very nice looking. If you are willing to stain and take care of the interior wood, I'd have to say go with the Andersen -- especially if everytime you look at the windows they are a thing of beauty. Vinyl is simply not a thing of beauty...

Sunrise Windows Cost Quote

I ended-up selecting 8 Sunrise standard (block and tackle) double-hung: Ultra glass (.25 rating), SDL grids, 1/2 OptiView Screens, upper and lower sash obscure glass (no grids, bathroom only); and they are removing and hauling away 8 canvas awnings. Approx. $7000 (my windows are a bit on the large side).

Thank you for your input and opinions that confirmed the direction I was leaning. It helped me feel comfortable that I did what was possible to make the best selection for our project.

Now, I just hope the company's installation is, truly, as good as my research suggests. ;-)

Sunrise Windows Cost Per Window

I got a quote for 9 windows on Simonton Prism Platinum windows. $3400. Only other placed are WindowWorld, Ideal Windows and the big box stores. Talked to the Sunrise salesman and could get their single Hung window for $6086. Would not budge with price. Suggestions?

David - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

David, the Sunrise single hung is quite a good window, but I'm not totally convinced it's worth nearly double the Simonton Prism Platinum window quote. The Prism Platinum is a very solid mid range vinyl window and assuming you like how it looks and feel comfortable with the installer, I would go with this one.

This is one of those "it's your call," but I feel like the top end windows from Simonton are good.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Homeowner's Response

Dane, Thanks for your response. We are going with the Sunrise window. We got the price down to $5841. I liked the installation better. They are doing the nail fin replacement and will replace any rotten wood. The Simonton place was not real clear but I believe he was just going to cut the window out and put the new one in. If that makes sense.

Thanks for all your help.

Sunrise Windows Cost

I got pricing from the highly rated Sunrise dealer and it came in at $16,934 ($736/opening) versus the $15,933 for the Soft Lite Elements. We liked the dealer and really like the thinner profile of the Sunrise and the ability to get Earthtone vinyl exterior without having to go the route of paint (and extra expense) with the Soft-Lite. However, there are a few things that concerns:

1) I have read about different models (Verde, Vanguard, etc), but this dealer when asked told me it is the "Sunrise model" and that there is no sub-model or additional name to it "just their top of the line window." What should I believe?
2) Sunrise uses a stainless spacer versus the Soft Lite super spacer
3) Their myriad of Sunrise glass package options is very confusing
4) Condensation ratings seem to be lower relatively

What is your take on the information presented? Is the pricing reasonable for what I am getting? What do you recommend? Thanks.

Matt - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Matt, the way I understand it, the Restorations comes standard with a few nice upgrades on the standard Sunrise frame, including a reinforced fibercore meeting rail and vertical sash, Max Edge spacer, foam filled chambers, and high transparency screen. Assuming that the bid you got includes these upgrades then I think you are good to go.

Both the windows use a nice spacer. Ask the dealer what his opinion is on the best glass package for your windows and direction they face. They should be able to provide some good insight as to an appropriate glass package. If you are still confused, go with the single upgraded low-e with argon fills, this should be fine.

I still think if you like the Sunrise, you should go with it. However, if the upgrades I mentioned above cost more, then go with the top of the line Soft-Lite window.

Sunrise Windows vs Kolbe Latitude

We really like the warranty and reputation of Sunrise windows - got quoted a single window price of $559 from our only local distributor. I have that distributor coming to do a full quotation for everything we have. They're offereing $250 off for 4 purchased windows.

Tom - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Tom, I'd say the $559 per window is a good price and it sounds like they are offering some sort of discount from this. So yes, this is a good price.

In terms of the Kolbe windows, I haven't had much experience with the Latitude.

Sunrise Windows Cost :: Verde Series

The Verde series uses the same frame as the Classic but comes standard with foam filled chambers, a foam wrap, and the Solar Clean glass package. The Verde incorporates both good design and function that should make it a window worth looking at, depending on whether your local dealer carries this particular model (not all dealers are going to offer the Verde model.) Compare the Sunrise Verde Series with the PGT 2200 - check all PGT windows prices here.

Sunrise Windows Verde Series

Dear Dane. I'm hoping you can help me with an opinion. I need to replace my windows, and I came across your website which has a lot of useful information! I've gotten estimates from 4 installers, each selling a different product.

The two I've narrowed it down to are the ProVia EcoLite and the Verde.

I'm having 11 windows replaced, one of which is a big picture window, and the Verde quote is coming to about $1500 more than the EcoLite quote. I know the Verde is the better window, but is it worth the $1500 price difference? I don't know that I need high end windows, just good, solid windows. The installer offering the EcoLite also offers the ProVia Aspect as a step up - would that be more comparable to the Verde in terms of quality?

Both installers have 4.7 star reviews on Google and offer long term warranties on their work, so they come out pretty equally there. So at this point it just comes down to the quality of the windows for me.

I'd appreciate your thoughts!

Joy - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Joy, so the Sunrise Verde is definitely worth $1500 over the ProVia EcoLite windows. The Verde is a really good vinyl window, while the EcoLite is an average window. The Verde would be comparable to the ProVia Endure, which is their premium window. The Aspect is ProVia's drop down window from the Endure. For me, I would probably spend the extra $1500 on the Verde and you will recoup that cost over the life of the window in energy savings.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2021

Sunrise Verde vs Polaris Ultraweld

Tim, based on what I read on your site (and a better price) I am choosing Polaris Ultraweld over the Verde.

Sunrise Verde (s) v. Polaris Ultraweld(p): $692(s) v. $631(p) for larger windows, $577(s) v. 541(p) for smaller. For doors(60x80): $2754(s) v. $2487(p).

After looking more closely at the Revere Sanctuary SG doors I understand why they are $500 less expensive.

It is not easy to compare products. Between names of products and model numbers and the sheer volume of data on NFRC, it's near impossible to determine at which product you are looking. For example, the Polaris brochure says "POL-M-39" as the Polaris' NFRC number, but on NFRC they have 3 for double-hung windows, none of them -39 (see below).

I did find -39 after playing with the search. On NFRC the name is not POLARIS WINDOWS, but POLARIS TECHNOLOGIES. Revere products are under ASSOCIATED MATERIALS and they have 9 entries when you search for double hung.

Sunrise Windows Cost :: Vanguard Series

The Vanguard series is similar to the Verde model, essentially a Classic window frame with a fibercore reinforced sash and a recessed lever lock. It also comes standard with separate tilt buttons and is available as a single hung.

The Vanguard is somewhat of a specialty model that was originally only available to certain distributors (it's unclear to us if this is still the case). Compare the Sunrise Vanguard Series to Okna 500 series price.

Sunrise Windows Cost On Vanguard

Hi, Will be replacing 12 windows in my Boston Ma home. The windows that I will be replacing our double hungs I got a quote from window world for $11,000 for the 400 series and a quote from sunrise for $20,000. The installer offering the $20,000 price is a very good installer but I thought the price was a little bit high. They are the Vanguard series. After careful consideration I thought I may go with a single hung Double pane window. I find the double hungs to be a little drafty whereas a single pane fits inside of the frame of the window more securely. Any thoughts!

Kathy - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Karen, my thought is you have two bids that might be on either side of the price spectrum. I'd say get two more bids and then send me all four bids and let's analyze the whole group and find the best value for your situation.

Sunrise Windows vs Vytex

Hi Dane, I have been reading all your reviews and suggestions, including the one you gave my son in law.

We are replacing 19 double-hungs and one 5' sliding door and have narrowed it down to two local contractors with excellent reviews.

The first is the Sunrise Vanguard and door for $18,250, the 2nd quote is for $19,783 for Vytex Potomac windows and door. We live in Maryland near the top of the Chesapeake Bay, so we do have some extreme weather, but not like other places.

Thank you so much for your input and service.

Kathy - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Kathy, it sounds like you have done your research and you have two excellent options there. For me, I would choose the Sunrise Vanguard over the Vytex Potomac, only because I like the brand a bit more and it's less expensive. However, the unknown here is the ratings/reviews/reputation of the installation companies, which would probably override the two considerations I just mentioned if there was a big discrepancy between the companies. I usually google both company names along with the word review and try to get an aggregate rating/review using the different review services (google, anti's list, home advisor etc.).

Assuming the companies are equal, I would choose the Sunrise option myself.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2022

Sunrise Vanguard Cost vs. Marvin Elevate

You had recommended the Vanguard (22 windows and 2 door walls) at 45k. You had also mentioned that the Marvin quote might come in much higher. Two developments: 1) Marvin came back at 50k for Marvin Elevate windows. 2) Sunrise dropped to 40k.

Ready to pull the trigger. Would you recommend Vanguard at 40k or Marvin Elevate at 50k? We have wood windows in the house now.

Thanks so much for all of your help. Will share this positive experience on social.

Shailen - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Shailen, I personally would rather have the Vanguard over the Marvin Elevate, but I'm not sure other industry experts would all agree. I would probably make my choice here based on the reviews/reputation of the company doing the install. If the companies were equal, I would probably go Sunrise Vanguard -- but close to a coin flip...

Sunrise Windows vs Provia

Hi Dane, I am wondering if you can weigh in with your point of view. We are in NJ. Replacing 12 double hung and 4 casement

Got quote for Provia Endure DLAC - 11,800

Sunrise Vanguard - 17,200

Both reputable companies

I thought they’re pretty equivalent windows so unclear why the price difference.

What are your thoughts.

Thank you.

Matt - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Matt, these are more or less equivalent windows. If the two were the same price, I would say to go with the Sunrise Vanguard over the Provia Endure.....but obviously they are not. The price on the Provia Endure is really good, while the price on the Sunrise Vanguard is at the top of the price range. Normally, I would say get more bids, but the ProVia Endure at that price from a reputable company -- that's about as good as you are going to get!

Btw, the price difference just goes to show how multiple bids can really save you some money as these companies are free to bid out their projects however they see fit.

Sunrise Vanguard Costs

Hi Dane, we are finding your website so helpful. Choosing new windows is a whole new experience for us.

We have four quotes for 22 windows and a sliding patio door. Will you please help us decide which is the best value? We are in Denver, so we have extreme hot weather and pretty cold weather, too.

Champion: $32,500 not including the patio door. This is probably higher than we want to spend unless it's really worth it.

Vanguard Series: $24,713

Zen Lotus Supreme Triple Pane --Soft Lite's Pro Line: $23,220

Zen Nirvana --Soft Lite's Classic Plus Line: $19,480

Sandy - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Hi Sandy, good for you for getting four bids on your project. My first choice is overwhelmingly the Sunrise Vanguard. A better window than all the others on the list.

Kind of a toss up for me between the Zen Lotus and Nirvana next. I would probably go with the Sunrise, unless you don’t plan to be in the home all that long, and then I would go with the Nirvana for the $19.4K. Let’s go with a 8 year over/under on my basic calculation there.

The Champion quote is simply not worth it and I’d much rather have the Vanguard than a Champion window in my home.

I'm looking to make a decision by the end of this week so any feedback you can provide on the windows (Harvey classic, Sunrise vanguard, Provia endure) would be appreciated.

Many thanks for your assistance in advance!

Ravi - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Ravi, based on all of your quotes, the Okna 500 at $17K looks like the best option to me. Less than the ProVia and Vanguard bids and only $3K better than the Harvey Classic. The Sunrise Vanguard would be my next call, followed by the Harvey Classic bid. That is based on price alone. If the Sunrise installer comes highly rated while the Okna company is a notch below, then my pick would definitely change. I weight the installation 50% and window cost 50% if that helps.

Sunrise Windows Costs

Dane, I am looking to replace 20 yr old builder grade vinyl windows. I'm in Ohio, and your site has been helpful. I have between 25 and 29 windows (some companies priced some as "doubles", some priced a picture window as separate). I have 5 semi-round or eyebrow windows over some of the windows on the front.

My quotes are as follows:

Pella Company store for Pella 250 series, $25,600 installed;

Lowes- Pella 250 series $21,805 installed,

Windows Direct Vanguard series, $28,000 (somehow they counted 29);

Home Depot, Simonton VantagePointe 6500 series, $21,617 installed;

All Seal Home Improvement Sunrise Windows (this dealer simply referred to them as “Sunrise” windows but all elements appear to be the same as the vantage pointe) $33,700.

What are your thoughts?

Michael - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Michael, for me the best value bid in your bunch is the Windows Direct Sunrise Vanguard series. Not cheap, but it's a much better value over the Pella 250 bids and Simonton VantagePointe series. The Vanguard is an excellent window. The Vanguard is essentially a Sunrise frame with a fibercore reinforced sash, a recessed lever lock, and a nice tilt button. Obviously this bid is preferable to the Sunrise bid for $33.7K.

Overall, not a bad bid for the specialty windows you have and larger configurations in your project.

Jason, if you really like wood clad and want to pay for these, then the Marvin Ultimate would probably be my suggestion. If vinyl is the option, the Sunrise Vanguard is the way to go. That's a pretty steep price though, I'm assuming there is lots of installation work involved in your project.

Diane - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Diane, my first vote would go to the Sunrise Vanguard, excellent window. My second vote would go to the Anlin Catalina, very good window. My third vote would go to collecting more bids so you don't have to pay $42,000 for 18 windows and a sliding door.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2019

[Diane's Reply]

Hi Dane, One more question. I did receive some additional bids and I am now looking at either Sunrise Vanguard latitude glass with summit technology (366/I-89) or PlyGem Premium. I am in Denver and the bids were within 100.00 of each other. I looked at Amerimax Windows as well. They were a little cheaper by 1,000.00. I was concern with installer. Which is a better window overall for this area. Again they are double sliders, casements, picture, geo metric and a sliding door. I also want to go with colored exterior. Thank you in advance for your advise!

Dane - Site Editor - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Diane, I would suggest go with the Sunrise Vanguard over the PlyGem Premium. The Amerimax for $1000 less is not surprising and sort of confirms the bid prices you have. If you didn’t get a strong feeling from the installer, trust your gut and don’t go with the Amerimax! Honestly, the Vanguard is a very very good window in my opinion. It’s a better window than the PlyGem Premium.

Sunrise Vanguard Pricing

Need your advise on 18 wood casements and 1 sliding door being replaced with vinyl windows. Going with double sliders and mix of casement due to size. I have a bid for Anlin (Catalina and Coronado) and a bid from Vanguard Sunrise Latitude Glass with Summit Technology for high altitude. Both came in at 19k. Both seem to be qualified installers. We live in Denver. Just wondering which product would be best or a suggestion for another better suited product. Thank you.

D - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

D, both the Anlin Catalina and Sunrise Vanguard are excellent windows. My own preference if the installation companies are even would be the Sunrise Vanguard. The Vanguard is a very well made window and I think a notch above the Anlin. You might want to consider getting a bid from a local Amerimax dealer just to see how the pricing compares. $19K for 18 windows is a somewhat hefty price tag, depending of course on the sizes of the windows themselves. Amerimax is a local and well reputed manufacturer. Their quality is good, not quite at the Sunrise level, but close.

Sunrise Vanguard Prices

I'm replacing 24 double hungs and so far I've had four bids from local companies. Here are my quotes.

Pella Encompass: $12,980
Great Lakes Comfort Smart: $10,878
Northeast Building SL2700: $26,920
Vanguard Series: $15,734
Sunrise Restorations: $20,645

Lori - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Lori, the Restorations is a great window, but it isn't worth the extra $5K by any means. The Vanguard is the better value by far. Now can your husband get that $15.7K bid on the Vanguard down to $13K - $14K. If so, I think that's your best long term value...

Dane - Site Editor - from 2017

Sunrise Vinyl Casements Bid

I have a bid from Sunshine Contractors who are installing Sunrise vinyl casements with a lifetime warranty. 47 windows, exterior colors, and one fiberglass patio door from ProVia. The cost quote is $34,750. The quote for the Vanguard was considerably higher, in the high $40s.

Sunrise Vanguard Costs In Texas

Sunrise has only ONE dealer in Texas for Restoration windows, and ONE OTHER guy for Vanguard. The Restorations salesman was rude and pushy. The Vanguard guy has his own small company and was actually recommended to me by a sales manager at Sunrise.

At this time, I have a Vanguard quote for 18 windows with s3200a triple pane window (SHGC=0.16) for $15K.

Ananth - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

It sounds like that's the best price you are going to get in terms of Sunrise. If you feel comfortable with that price, then you are getting an excellent window in the Vanguard.

Sunrise V4000 Windows

Hi Dane, two quotes I'm considering out of three to replace all the windows in my home. They are mostly casements, and a few awnings. Both are recommended local dealers/installers.

First is V4000 Series at $40,000

Second is Provia Endure at $34,000

Any thoughts or opinions are appreciated.

Fritz - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Fritz, these are both great window options, but I think the ProVia Endure is the better of the two -- plus its $6K cheaper! Assuming the company ratings are the same, I think you have your winner! Great work!

Sunrise V Class Price Quote vs. Okna 600

Hi, I got a quote for the Sunrise standard for $17.7K, although the dealer said he'd give me the V class at the same price. A second quote for the Okna 600 is $15.4K.

Malie - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Malie, I'd go with the Okna 600 for the price reduction over the Sunrise V Class, although these are both great options.

Dane - Website Editor - from 2020

Sunrise V Signature Series

Have a quote for a Zen Lotus on 14 windows. Averages out to $740 per window, although it includes several that have tempered glass.

Also have a quote on the Sunrise V signature series that comes out to about $720 per window, same tempered glass count.

Kyle - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Kyle, not the cheapest price for those windows, but definitely in the price range. I'd go with the V Class window over the Zen Lotus myself.

Sunrise Windows vs ProVia

We are replacing 10 windows: In Overland Park Kansas.

4 Picture
4 DH
1 double casement

Provia Endura = $13K
Sunrise V Class Signature = 10K
Champion = 10K

Based on info I'm reading, these quotes seem high. Any guidance?

Steve - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Simply put, get more bids. Get free bids until you find one you like or until you are certain that the price you have is as good as you can get. Right now, the Sunrise V Class Signature bid is the best you have. As to whether or not the bids you have are overpriced or not, only time will tell.

Okna, Soft-Lite, Kensington, Vytex, and Zen are good places to start.

Gilkey, Simonton, Ply Gem are my secondary picks.

Sunrise Replacement Windows Cost

I have two bids, one from Sunrise who is charging $240 for custom exterior frame color per window. The normal cost of the windows are between $730 and $820 per window. The totals are below.

Sunrise V Series: $11,508

Pella 250 Series: $10,025

Chris - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Chris, the extra cost for the V Series is definitely worth it. The per window cost is about what I'd expect. The custom frame color is as well, but there might be some room to negotiate on that.

Sunrise Restorations Windows Cost

The Restorations window is their top rated window, as well as their most expensive. Reinforced with fibercore on both the meeting rail and the vertical sash, the Restorations feature a Max Edge spacer and foam filled chambers. The frame and sash are fairly narrow, which gives the window a nice slender and clean look. The window incorporates a clever tilt sash mechanism and comes standard with a high transparency screen. In addition, consumers will be impressed by the high quality frame finish.

Performance wise, consumers can expect the low-e glass and argon fill option to deliver a U-factor around of 0.27 and an air infiltration of 0.04, both quite impressive. More importantly, the quality of design and craftsmanship will translate to sustained energy efficiency over a much longer time period. The Sunrise Restoration is one of our top vinyl window selections. Compare the Sunrise Restorations Series to Soft-Lite Elements price.

Sunrise Windows Prices On The Restoration

Hi Dane, I am in the process of getting bids for 7 replacements. I may be in this home for the rest of my life ( a good 35+ years, fingers crossed and God willing 😊 ), or I may sell it in about ten years. Still undecided.

I will have 8 more windows across the front of the house that would replaced next year (need to save some more $$). The immediate need and 7 windows I am inquiring about (2 sides and back of home) is Masonite siding that was face nailed... and it is starting to fail. Windows first, then siding. It's really the siding that is the determining factor for the window replacement. The home was built in 1983 and has wood windows that do not slide easily and storm windows, they are drafty, but manageable. This is all A LOT of money on a single gal's income.

After reading through reviews, I believe am discarding Alside Mezzo, although a great post pandemic price @ $475 a window installed, not great long term reviews. Three of my neighbors have just installed Mezzo and LOVE them and they look great now, but I may need more than ten years out of a window. I am looking at Okna 500 DX, installed @ 717 a window.. a lot steeper than Mezzo and waiting for a quote on Sunrise Restorations. I am located in Raleigh NC, could you send me a list of recommended installers/ dealers. I just need a mid-priced vinyl replacement window that will last and not break the bank. The $450 -$625 per window (with installation included) is about what I can afford so I can replace the Masonite with Hardie board.

Thanks so much for all the insight and great reviews!

Sunrise Restorations Windows Cost

I have 3 quotes for vinyl replacement windows in louisville Kentucky on 7 windows.

1. Windows Direct USA, Restorations double hung, triple pane, tan color: $6782.

2. Mengel Exteriors, Alside Mezzo, double hung: $6,204.

3. Window Universe, Gentek Signature Elite windows: $5859.

Which of these would you suggest or do you have other brands/installers for my area? Thank you

Linda - Homeowner - from 2023

[Site Editor's Answer]

Linda, that's a pretty solid group I would say. The Sunrise Restorations is by far the best window of that group so the would be my pick by quite a bit. The Gentek Signature Elite would be back up selection.

Sunrise Windows Prices Quote

Dane, I don’t know that much about windows. I was inquiring about the sunrise restorations series. I got a bid for 29,900 for 15 replacement windows after all the discounts the balance -- is that the standard rate for installation of premium vinyl windows? this seems a little bit too high for 15 windows in Canonsburg Pa.

Davis - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

So the Sunrise Restorations model is an excellent window, but that price is expensive for replacements. My suggestion is to consider this a single bid and to collect three additional bids. Then compare prices and windows and make the decision from there.

Heather - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Heather, I think the quote on the windows sounds fair given the pricing I'm seeing lately. Excellent window with the glass upgrade, yeah pretty fair, although you never really know until you have a couple other bids to compare it with. Two or three more bids will give you the answer of fair or not, but I think what you have so far is promising.

I sort of double down on my opinion with the door cost, which will vary even more. I love the Marvin Elevate French door...

Sunrise Restoration Costs

We are getting a few estimates and beginning to understand the difference between vinyl vs fiberglass. Here are the two estimates from a dealer for Marvin and Sunrise Restoration. I copied my husband in the email. We have roughly 43 windows depending on how you calculate them.

We were told that fiberglass is much stronger and better material than vinyl thus costs are much higher. 61% higher than vinyl. Is this a true statement?

Sunrise Restoration from Kelly is outrageously pricey, we are not going to consider. Do you have other fiberglass window dealers or windows to recommend?Kelly Sunrise Restoration/Fiberglass $92,710.12

Infinity by Marvin/Fiberglass $63,041.55

The cost of fiberglass windows shocked us. Here is what I summarized for the two quotes I received so far. Both are fiberglass windows. Do you know of anyone else I can get other estimates for?

Winnie - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Winnie, typically a fiberglass window is roughly 33% more not 60% more, but of course prices aren't static -- they are whatever the window company throws out and whatever the consumer is willing to pay for. Both of these bids are really expensive, but it's very possible that your home requires work to the frames/sills or the installation is complicated in some way. Honestly though, I've never seen the Sunrise Restorations priced higher than a Marvin Infinity -- let alone a third more. That's crazy.

My own take is that fiberglass is slightly better -- but not more than 20% better over vinyl. And it really depends on what you are comparing. For instance, I would rather have an Okna 800 series or Soft-Lite Elements in my home over an Infinity any day of the week -- and the performance data backs this up. Top tier vinyl windows are plenty strong for nearly all residential homes (these high end vinyl windows often come with a composite fill through the lift rail and mainframe) and they can typically be purchased at a much lower price point.

I say keep the two bids and get three more from my top tier list.

Sunrise Windows Cost Per Windows

I was able to get the Sunrise down to $1045 each on their Restorations series? I know Window World is still way cheaper, but it's making me more interested.

Don - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Don, the Sunrise Restorations is worth the $1045 per window...a WAY WAY better window than anything that WW sells -- if you are staying in your home long term then this is the option I would go with...

Sunrise Windows vs Window World

Hi Dane, desiring to replace 7 single-hungs in my single-story house.

I received a bid on the Sunrise Restoration (dealer doesn't offer any other of Sunrise's window types) and am contrasting with Window World's 4000 series.

Initial bid on the Sunrise windows ~$8,500 while the bid on the Windows World was ~$4,800. I clearly understand there is a product quality difference. I'll be in the house probably another 5-10 years, but after that not so sure. I had Window World replace 4 windows 7 years ago and they are still in good shape - so I'm not ruling out Window World especially with the price difference. Andersen 200 series is another I had in mind - maybe that's somewhere in the middle?

I want the Sunrise, but ~$1,200 per window seems high and not sure if it makes sense if I'm leaving in 10yrs.

Any thoughts on the this bid specifically and the three options in general? Thanks!

Don - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Don, yes, $1200 per window is pricey, but I’m not surprised by that price either for the Sunrise Restorations. The Andersen 200 window will be that same amount, or higher, if I had to guess.

If you are leaving in 10 years, yes you can get away with putting in WindowvWorld windows…that’s just about the timeline when they start having issues, but you’ll be gone by then. I always feel odd giving this advise, but monetarily it’s probably your best bet. I would only say that you should at least google your local WW branch to see how their ratings/reviews are…some branches have great reviews, while others can be quite bad.

Syed - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Syed, the best bid of the bunch by far is the Sunrise Restorations. This is a fantastic window — assuming the installation company has a solid reputation, you will be well served with this option. My second pick would be the Sunrise Standard, then the ProVia Aspect. My last pick would be the American Craftsman 70, FYI.

2. sunrise restration. 8,400 installed by smart choice

3. Sunrise sunrise window 7,200 installed by smart choice

The salesman said there are 3 differences between the 2 sunrise windows (fiberglass reinforcement, micro screens, and the tilt in latches for the restorations are the locks all in one vs side latches with the sunrise).

4. Polaris 7400 thermalweld 7,600 installed by integrity windows.

5. Alside mezzo 4000 series 8,307 installed by window world.

Thank you!!

Brian - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Brian, I checked out the reviews for Window Universe Cleveland and they get excellent reviews. Assuming this is the branch that gave you your quote, coupled with the fact that the Okna 600 window is exceptional, this would have to be my goto recommendation. Smart Choice windows in Strongsville gets excellent reviews as well.

Assuming this is the branch that gave you your quote, coupled with the fact that the Sunrise Restorations window is also truly exceptional, this would have to be my second choice. The bids are so close that either of these would be excellent options. If you plan to be in the house less than 6 or 7 years, go with the Sunrise standard. Anything over this time period, go with the Restorations series.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2021

Sunrise Restorations Series Cost

Dane, I am in northern Virginia and we are looking to replace 10 of the original 1978 wood windows on our house. Trying to be smart with our budget for this. We have a number of quotes for vinyl replacements and the most reasonable came from a local installer that has very good reviews across a number of platforms (google, yelp, etc)

The initial quote was for Vytex Fortis and came in at about $665 per window. I read up a little bit and saw that those have the constant force system, so we would be losing a little of the viewing area. The installer offered the Provia Endure which has a block and tackle system, at the same price when I noted this as a concern. Alternatively, the Sunrise Restoration was offered at 50$ more per window.

Are these prices fair and what is the better choice, quality and performance wise between the Provia and Vytex windows. Should they be the same price? Is the adder ($500 total) for the Sunrise worth considering?

Thank you and please let me know what additional information might be helpful.

Paul - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Paul, those are all good prices for the quality of the windows. I would say that the Provia Endure is the better of the windows between it and the Vytex Fortis. However, if this were my project, I would pay the extra $50 a window and get the Sunrise Restoration. Well worth the small upgrade cost. A great window for $715 per window. Good price quote for how crazy prices have been lately.

Sunrise Windows vs Okna

Hi. We are replacing a patio door and 32 windows with full frame installation.

My 3 quotes are:

Sunrise Restorations Price: $43,500

Nate - Homeowner - from 2021

Sunrise Restorations Pricing Bid

Dane, well, I just received the price proposal from the window company that sells the Restorations, and while they are rated high, the cost came out to $35k for 38 windows and 2 patio doors, compared to the company that installs the Ideal Platinum 3000, for $26k.

The dilemma now is that the company that had the highest customer ratings was the one that installed the Simonton Reflections 5500, and their cost is $24k.

So that is what I'm trying to figure out: is Ideal Platinum that good that I pay $2k more, or go with the better rated installer, but lesser window (Simonton 5500 Reflections), that also uses low expansion foam?

John - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

If the company that installed the Ideal Platinum had excellent reviews, I'd go with them. If there was any question on that point, I would go with the Simonton dealer with the excellent reputation. I think that's the best way to cut this choice down to something that doesn't drive you crazy...

Sunrise Premium Windows Quote

Tim, thank you for your website, it has been a great starting point for my window search.

I’m replacing the original 19 double hung vinyl windows in my 3 story condo across from the Chesapeake Bay in Va Beach. It gets windy down here often.

I’ve only gotten 3 quotes from the same reputable company and another quote from a company I don’t know much about. I tried to get a quote from a reputable Okna dealer but they won’t touch the third floor.

I originally thought about getting single hung on the first and second floor because I thought they were more efficient but I can’t find any quality single hung windows.

My quotes are as follows:

Vinyl Kraft Legacy - $7,730

Sunrise Premium - $10,330

Trident Triple Pane - $11,230

Berkshire Elite Barrier XP - $11,879

The Legacy comes with a 20 year warranty.

I’m not sure what model the sunrise premium is. The website or the brochure doesn’t speak to models. These are with the Passive U glass. The Sunrise come with a lifetime labor and product warranty.

They described the Trident Triple Pane as a private label maxed out New River 5300 with Krypton.

I might be getting a Solace quote next week but they already want my wife to be present so I’m considering cancelling it.

I can swing the cost of any of these but I’m looking for the most value. I’m leaning towards the Legacy or Sunrise.

I seriously doubt this will be my forever home though it may become a rental property down the line. Thoughts on these windows or any other window quotes you think I should get here in coastal Virginia will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

Scott - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Scott, from the bids I'm seeing the top of my list by a lot would be the Sunrise Premium. Sunrise has a main series that is simply called the Sunrise. They have additional series that come with upgrades, but use this same window as the "base model." Their best window is the Sunrise Restorations, which is a very good window. The Sunrise standard is quite good. So I'm not totally sure what they are saying here, but perhaps they are talking about the Restorations model.

I believe Solace sells a relabeled Sunrise Restorations model. Ironic since you perhaps already have this bid. The whole thing about a spouse having to be there is bizarre. I really dislike when companies insist on this. Still, it would be interesting to see how the pricing compared to your original Restorations bid (assuming this is what they are referring to by Sunrise Premium).

The Legacy isn't a bad window, but I do think the Sunrise is probably worth the extra cost.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2020

Sunrise Restoration Windows Cost

Hi Dane: I contacted the local dealer here for Sunrise windows and got a bid on their Restoration line of windows. It seems more reasonable, though still really expensive, but I think we're getting way more window for the dollar. They're running a special that expires on 10/31, so we have to act quickly if we want the deal . . . I'd be grateful if you could give me your take on their estimate. It's from a company called Thebco; they've been in business here in Madison, WI for 48 years, and have a 4.8/5 rating on Google and people seem to LOVE their installers. All they do is windows, doors, and siding.

Reminder, we have 14 double casements, 2 single casement, and 2 oversize sliding glass doors.

Their base bid is $38,657 (normally $42,907) for R-7 triple pane AR-90, U factor 0.21 Low E glass. This price is actually about the same price as their regular price for double pane.

Add $5,520 for full-frame installation, which is what we'll have done, and it includes the wood laminate on the interior of the windows and solid wood trim (oak for the dark windows, poplar for the 2 white windows). If we want both sides of the casements to open, it's about another $5733, which brings us to $49,990.

We're eligible for a $2,000 voucher, and 5% off if we pay in cash upon completion of the job, bringing the cost down to $45,590. I think we're gonna get SolarClear self-cleaning glass for another $750 ($25/single casement, $50/double casement), and 2 foot locks for the doors ($65 each), bringing us to $46,470.

I think for 4 of the double casements, we will have only one side open, which will save us about $400/window (subtract another $1,600) so the grand total, including a lifetime transferable warranty on the windows, hardware, and installation, is about $44,870.

It seems that when comparing most statistics, Restoration beats Renewal by Andersen, and the Sunrise windows are triple pane vs. double pane for RBA. The RBA bid, again, was about $59,000 and doesn't include the Solar Clean glass or a lifetime warranty.



Here are some stats: Sunrise Restoration U-factor is 0.21 vs. 0.24 for RBA

Sunrise Restoration SHGC is 0.20 vs. 0.27

UV rays blocked is close, SR is 96% vs. 95% for RBA

Air infiltration for SR is 0.01; not sure about RBA, but it's gotta be way higher.

One thing that concerns me, though, is that the Visible Transmittance is 38% for Sunrise and 65% for RBA, so are the Sunrise windows going to be a lot darker?

So what's your assessment of this bid? Do I need to worry about the 38% vs. 64% VT ratings? If the prices were the same between SR and RBA, I think I'd still go with Sunrise even though it's vinyl on the outside (but fiberglass reinforced and UltraCore insulated) over the RBA composite because of the Sunrise lifetime transferable warranty and the stats are better for Sunrise vs. RBA in every area except VT.

I was certainly hoping for something closer to $40,000, but we are getting triple pane glass with Sunrise. Any suggestions on how to get a lower price? . . . I'll certainly ask Thebco if there's anything else they can do on the price. Again, I'd really appreciate your insights, Dane.

Thanks so much.

Marc - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Marc, the bid is seeming less high to me now that I'm looking at it more closely. Double casements are expensive, as is triple pane, the wood laminate, new construction installation etc.

The Restoration is a great window. The AI for the RBA is probably something like .11 on the casement.

As far as the VT, 38 is low I will say. It's all a function of the glass, so you should talk to the Sunrise dealer on glass options. Some people have an issue with a darker glass and others do not. I'd spend some time talking to the rep about glass packages and see if he has a way to show you what you'll be getting before the install date.

In terms of getting the bid down...if you're willing to gamble and tell him that you love his product, but you can't go above $40K and tell him to call you when he can make that work...that's probably your best bet. Let him know you are flexible on the install date...if that's true.

The issue we're dealing with is that top window companies are having to turn down work because everyone is going after these home improvement projects right now. We are going into winter so things slow down there.

Overall, great window in the Sunrise Restoration line and lots of upgrades and options in that mix.

Sunrise Restorations Windows Prices

Hi Dane and Tim, just wanted to get your take on the following quote for pocket vs full-frame replacement. This is for 18 Sunrise Restorations windows, including a 48x74 bay picture window (tempered glass), an entryway palladium roundtop 36x56, 9 double hung, and 5 transom windows. $13,200 for pocket inserts, $18,600 for full frame. This is from what appears to be a reputable Sunrise authorized installer with excellent reviews. Do these prices strike you as being inline with what you would expect? Would you consider it to be a "good deal"?

I have a second quote for a pocket install of Soft-Lite Elements at $13,600, from a reputable Soft-Lite authorized installer with stellar reviews.

Anthony - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Tony, this is quite a fair price for the variety of windows you have in your project list. Both on the insert price and the full frame price. The fact that the Soft-Lite dealer quoted you nearly the same price for the Elements would seem to confirm this. The Elements is probably the more energy efficient of the two windows, while the Restorations is the slimmer of the two.

So if the pocket installation is what you go with, the Restorations might be the best bet here.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2020

Sunrise Restorations Series Cost

Hey Tim, if I can bother you once more, I'd sure appreciate it.

I got several other quotes. The most appealing is on the Restorations casements, if I'm understanding the reviews on your site and the fact that Restoration is better than Softlite Classic.

The Sunrise quote came in at $7900 for the 10 casements. Three of those have the Walnut interior to match my current trim. The others are white interior. All have the white exterior.

I plan to ask if he has any wiggle room in that price, but do you think we are in the ballpark?

Thanks!

Todd - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Todd, you are correct that the Restorations series is better than the Soft-Lite Classic (much closer to the Soft-Lite Elements). In fact, it's one of the best vinyl windows on the market in my opinion, especially the casement. That is a very fair quote at $790 per window, especially with the interior laminate option on 3 of them. Always worth an ask to see if you can find their floor price, but you are definitely in the ballpark for what I consider one of the sleekest, nicest looking, and energy efficiency vinyl windows out there.

Sunrise Ultra Premium vs. Simonton 5500

Hello, I really appreciate the information on your website. Have been looking at replacement windows in Northeastern Illinois. Was initially leaning toward the Simonton 5500, but after reading the reviews, I'm more inclined to go with the Sunrise standard. I have a quote for 13 windows, and really like the installer because the rep took a lot of time to explain the process, no high pressure, and they have many excellent reviews on Angie's list.

But the price of 12,690 for 13 windows seems a bit high, especially when looking at the various prices people have mentioned on your website. There is a 5% discount off the price if you don't take their 18th month deferred financing. Specs are below. Really appreciate your insight. My windows are all 70 ½" tall, and on average, the widths are 34 inches. 8 of the windows are pairs (2 windows side by side in one opening.)

Option 2: Ultra Premium Vinyl Series. White interior, white exterior, Omega 12 squared performance glass package with Low-e / argon. Polyurethane foam filled frame, standard half screens and white hardware. U factor of .25, SHGC of .21 on these units. Total project cost of $12,690

Marilyn - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

Marilyn, at first glance that does sound high to me, but I don't know enough about the specifics to say that for sure. So how did the bid price compare to the Simonton 5500 quote? That would be very helpful to know in terms of figuring out whether the price is fair or not.

Sunrise Platinum Replacement Windows

Dane, I have an estimate for 12 sunrise platinum series vinyl replacement windows. All glass is Omega 12 HP glass & interior Low E . All optiview screens . All windows are double hung . The window sizes are as follows : 5 windows 23 x 53.5 , 6 windows 31 x 53.5 , One window 30 x 38 . The estimate I received is $ 12,140.00 . Do you feel this is a reasonable estimate. I live in the Buffalo, New York area.

John - Homeowner - from 2019

[Site Editor's Answer]

John, the bid sounds a bit high, but I can't really say that without something to compare it to. The Sunrise platinum series (I'm assuming this is the Restorations series or close to it) is an excellent vinyl window. $1000 plus is at the very top of the vinyl window per cost range. A couple more bids from comparable products will show us how legit the bid is.

Here are some top quality brands to search in your area: Soft-Lite, Okna, HiMark (they sell Okna), Polaris, Kensington, and Vytex. You want to get bids on their premium series to compare apples-to-apples. I obviously don't know how complex your project, but I would bet you can get a comparable product at a better price point with a few extra bids.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2019

Restorations Cost Quote

Hi Dane, thanks for your feedback. I was able to get the Restorations for $600 a window. I also received an estimate for the Zen Nirvana-- for $560 a window. Any thoughts on the two offers? Thanks!!!

Nick - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

Nick, $600 per window on the Restorations is an excellent price. Definitely worth $40 more over the Zen Nirvana. I would say go with the Restorations, one of the best vinyl windows on the market.

Thanks,

Gary - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Gary, the bid is not out of the realm of what's reasonable, but it does seem at first glance to be at the upper end of the price spectrum.

I think you need two more bids to see whether that one is fair market price or is too high. The Sunrise restorations undoubtedly a good one, but I'll bet you can get even the bid you have a bit lower.

Sunrise Restoration or Simonton Assure and 5500

Tim, I've read your reviews and appreciate all the insight. My husband and I are looking to replace all 34 of our windows in our 20 year old house in Marietta, GA. We've had quotes on both Sunrise (Restoration) and Simonton (Assure and 5500). We're trying to decide if it's worth the additional (nearly $8,000) expense is worth it for the Sunrise Restoration. Essentially, we need to determine what's the better window for us. Any thoughts on these 2?

Sandy - Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Sandy, I think the $8000 is probably worth it to go with the Restorations, they really are excellent. Having said that, the Simonton 5500 is a very decent vinyl window and it's easy for me to say go spend $8K more when I'm not the one actually writing the check. I would not go with the Asure, I don't think it's anywhere as good as these other two.

What I'd like to see you do is go back to the Sunrise dealer and see what his lowest price is -- here is an article that explains the approach I take when I'm trying to get the best deal.

Sunrise Restorations vs Soft-Lite Imperial LS

Hi Tim and Dane, I need to replace 5 windows and 1 patio door. I live in MN. Have received quotes from three different companies for 3 different products. Could you let me know which one would be the best product to go with and is the quote reasonable? I plan to stay in this house for a long time so the goal is to do a good replacement that would last for a while. I currently have vinyl and white siding. Plan to replace with same since I'm not doing the whole house.

1) Restorations - approximately $12k

2) Andersen 100 Series windows & 200 Series patio door - approximately $12.6k

3) Soft-Lite Imperial LS - approximately $11.2k (with full frame replacement - quotes from the first two companies do not include full frame replacement)

Dimension of my windows/patio:

1) Patio 70.875 x 79.5
2) 106.5 x 63.5 (three panels of 35.5 x 63.5 each)
3) 23.5 x 47.75
4) 47.75 x 59.5
5) 71 x 65 (2 panels of 35.5 x 65 each)
6) 83 x 65 (2 panels of 41.5 x 65 each)

I hope to be able to make a decision this week and would appreciate your feedback.

Thanks!

Yen- Homeowner - from 2017

[Site Editor's Answer]

Yen, since you have to take off some of the siding to replace the windows anyway, I would go with the full frame replacement, which will provide a stronger fit and insures a better water seal at the top and sides of the frame. Of the bids you have, I like the Soft-Lite Imperial LS with the full frame and its the cheapest -- how often does that happen :)

The Imperial LS is a fantastic window, one that will last as long as your siding will, which is important because it's costly to repair windows when they have to pull siding off, etc. Best to it all in one fell swoop if possible and save yourself some money on the labor.

If for some reason that bid doesn't work out, I would then go with the Restorations.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2017

Sunrise Restorations vs. Okna Casements

I have a question on pricing for the Sunrise Windows. Unfortunately I cannot say for sure which line it is but would guess it is the Restoration. The rep told me they customize the window by having an additional layer of insulation added to the third layer that would normally be left empty. I need a total of 10 windows, replaced, all casements (4 total openings, 2 fixed pitcure windows, 8 operating). I would be getting a dark oak interior, and a tan outside trim with dark brown moulding. I was quoted $10,500 which is for full replacement. Price includes everything except for re-staining the new oak trim on the inside. Windows range in size from 96" x 58" to 38" x 34". Price seems high, however I have a price for OKNA 700 series for $9600 which is for inserts. We live in the metro Racine, WI area. Thanks!

Paul - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Paul, I'd put the Okna 700 and Restorations on par with one another. So assuming that the Okna 700 price is fair market value then the Sunrise quote is high (I know I just stated the obvious but let's keep going here). You might want to get another bid to see if you can get a number lower than the Okna and then perhaps go back to the Okna dealer and see if they will match it. They probably won't, but if you ask them to match it, they will hopefully give you their best price, which might be lower than the one you have now.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Restorations Series Pricing

We have quotes for Restorations window installed by a local contractor with excellent reviews, and Renewal by Andersen. Trying to decide between the two. I like the look of the RBA with real wood veneer a bit better, but the Sunrise with faux wood finish is good, and almost matches with our woodwork. There would be 2 picture windows, 6 casements that open, , 3 that don't, and 2 very small picture windows. The Sunrise quote is @ $12,000. The RBA is $17,000 and then another $1500-$2000 for the staining if we don't do it ourselves. Quality and performance wise- do you think the RBA is any better and worth the extra money? Or is it more about looks?

We also have a quote for Starmark windows with the faux wood finish. We had liked how stout the window seemed, and all the insulation in the frames. The wood color wasn't as close of a match as the Sunrise, but probably doable. The corner welds weren't as pretty- the diagonal seams stuck out a bit, making it more obvious that it was not wood. Their quote was $20,500. We had ruled them out due to price, but now am not sure. We hope to stay in our home at least another 20+ years.Any thoughts about the 3 quotes? Also, do you represent some of these companies? I can't really tell from the website. So I guess what I am asking is do you have a bias, and/or vastly more experience with some brands over others. I don't mean to be offensive, because I have really appreciated your site and all your info.

Gail - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Gail, the quality, performance and construction will be better on the Restorations line than the Renewals. The Okna Starkmark is a bit of a beast, but very well made. However, if it were me I'd stick with the Restorations for the $12K, it is one of the very best vinyl windows available.

We don't represent any of these companies so there is no bias on our end. Of course, everyone has their favorite brands -- mine are Sunrise, Okna, Soft-Lite, Polaris, and Kensington.

Tim - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Restorations Cost

I recently received quotes on 27 windows for both Wincore and Champion double hungs. Both of the installers have excellent reviews and they were both pleasant to meet with etc. -- it's probably a wash in terms of that.

Wincore 5400: $11,900

Wincore 7700: $13,900

Champion: $15,900

Restorations Series: $26,000

SunriseStandard: $17,500

Angie - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Angie, I like the Sunrise Restoration, but it's probably not worth it to pay $26K compared with $14K. I like either the Wincore 7700 at $14K or the Sunrise Standard for $17,500. I think the $3500 is probably worth it for the Sunrise, but the 7700 window is quite good in my estimation.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Restoration Casement Pricing

I have 3 casements that I would like to replace with double hung to stay within my budget. My windows are 42x53 and I am considering inserts not full replacements. I am looking at SunriseWindows. Will I lose any insulation factors not going with full replacement ? It's the Restoration line at 1,000.00 per window. Does this price make sense? Should I consider lower line with Sunrise? I like the "more glass" less frame !

Bridget - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Answer]

Bridget, you won't lose any appreciable insulation with inserts, but you will lose a small amount of glass on each side. However the Restorations is a narrower frame than nearly all other vinyl windows out there (and one of the very best). You can always go with the standard Sunrise window and then get ala carte upgrades that make sense for your project. This could lower the cost. $1000 a window is pretty pricey, but without other bids from other companies, it's pretty tough to say whether this is unreasonably high. Can't hurt to get a couple more bids…even if its just to bring back to the Sunrise dealer and see how close he can get to the competitor's price.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Restorations Cost vs Ideal Platinum 3000

I recently got 2 bids, one on the Ideal Platinum 3000 for $6600 and the other for Sunshine Restoration window at $9200. I've read that the Restorations is a great window, but is it worth that much more than the Platinum 3000?

Jene - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Jene, the Restorations is certainly one of the better vinyl windows, but it's unclear whether it's $2700 better that the Platinum 3000, which delivers a .02 air infiltration and a .22 U-factor. I might have to give the nod to the Ideal Platinum 3000 on this one. This may be a first that I didn't recommend the Sunrise Restorations window!

Tim - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Restorations Bid

What would be a fair price for replacement of about 18 windows with Sunrise Restorations windows with Omega 12 glass?

Ananth - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Ananth, I would say the Restorations windows with Omega 12 glass would be something like $550 to $750 per window, but again you need to get bids because I have no idea what the condition of your window frames are, the type of installation you need, whether you need or want additional services such as exterior capping, etc. There are so many factors that go into any project that the real industry price is only gleamed by getting 3 or 4 bids from quality companies and getting the consensus.

Good luck!

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Restoration Windows Cost

Tim, I got an estimate from a window company for Restoration windows. There are 3 twin mulled windows 35x59 and one window 40x59. Basically 7 windows with 3 of them mulled. Includes full screens and grids. Cost is $8322. including all discounts.

Does this sound like a reasonable price quote? The salesman talked to just me (husband is travelling) and told me how the installation would go. And he emailed me the brochure of the short video that he had me watch. Just wondering if I need to get estimates from other companies or if this sounds like a good estimate.

Sharon - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Sharon, it doesn't sound unreasonable, but I always advise getting three bids to figure out the right and best price. Bids will vary tremendously, especially when the project involves additional work like yours. The Restorations is an excellent window, but over $1K per window is expensive. I would get a couple more bids, if for no other reason than you can take the lower bid and tell the Sunrise rep what it is and ask if he can get his bid closer to the subsequent two – nothing like a little competition to lower the cost!

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Windows vs Okna

I live in northern New Jersey and I need to replace one bathroom window in the tub/shower area. Window size is about 22" x 41". I have gotten several price quotes. All include obscure, tempered glass, argon filled, low-E with no grills.

Includes installation:

Okna 400 series – Deluxe energy savings package - $600 (500 series - $650)

Sunrise Standard - Ultra-U Plus glass system - $620 (Vanguard - $665)

Silverline 9500 - $485 (8600 - $445, 1200 - $380)

Does not include installation

United 4800 window - $307 (Read all of our United Windows reviews)

Seller does not install and since I was not leaning toward this window I did not get an installation quote from a third party.

I was considering the Sunrise Standard, but leaning toward the Okna 400. What is your opinion between these two windows and of all the options?

Thanks for your help!

Carey - Homeowner - from 2016

[Site Editor's Response]

Carey, I think the two strongest bids are the Okna 500 and Sunrise Standard. The Okna 400 is right below this. I think you can forget about the Silverline bid and United Windows cost bid. If it were me, I'd do the Okna 500, but I think installation should be the deciding factor between the Okna and Sunrise. How do the installers compare in terms of reviews, reputation, industry experience. Ask them to take you through the process and see how thorough they answer the question. I think you have two good options here.

Dane - Site Editor - from 2016

Sunrise Windows Cost Quote

Dane, here are my quotes and the specs on each. All of them include an upper sash 2x4 grid, obscure glass in both sashes of largest window, all white, tan capping on outside.

8 double-hungs approx sizes:

1 @ 42 3/4 x 48 3/4
1@ 33 3/4 x 53 1/2
4 @ 43 3/4 x 67 1/2
2 @ 43 3/4 x 57

Bid 1: Sunrise Vanguard, $10,216

Bid 2a: Alside Mezzo double-pane $5,280 (includes full screens, accidental glass breakage, grids, obscure glass, EPA removal process/materials, removal of existing awnings)

Bid 2b: Alside Mezzo triple-pane $5,760 (includes full screens, accidental glass breakage, grids, obscure glass, EPA removal process/materials, removal of existing awnings)

Bid 3a: Simonton 9800 series $5460 (5% cash discount; Pro Solar 366 low-E with argon gas, flat colonial grids, Ultra-U Plus glass system, full screens)

Bid 3b: Sunrise "Double-hung" (not Essentials) $6455 (5% cash discount; waiting for detail on this bid along with pricing for Simulated Divided Lites grid and OptiView screens)

The Alside is being pushed for it's better, more comprehensive warranty over other manufacturers. The Simonton is being pushed for 9800 series "at the 5500 series price."

I can't compare Sunrise bids because I can't tell if they're the exact same window and features. Significantly different quotes has me puzzled. I like the low profile latch on the Sunrise.

I prefer to go with block and tackle balances over coil but may have to compromise; same with SDL over standard flat grid.

Bid 3 installer also sells Great Lakes brand to consider but I don't have quote for that one.

U-factor must meet or exceed 2016 Energy Star ratings so we can qualify for tax credit. All 3 installation companies are long-standing with A+ BBB ratings.

Thanks, in advance, for your input.

Hi Joanne, there is a lot here to discuss, let's start with the bids. For me, the best value in that bunch is Bid 3b, the Standard Sunrise at $6455. Bid3a on the Simonton 9800 series would be my second choice. The Mezzo is a decent window, but I like the 9800 better and it's cheaper in this case than the Alside Mezzo price quote.

The Vanguard is a very good window, but I don't think it's worth that much money over your last bid. The Standard Sunrise uses the same frame as the Vanguard, but the Vanguard includes a number of nice upgrades and features that don't come standard on the "base" Sunrise window. If there is an upgrade or two that you like, you can always add this to the base model and see how that affects the overall project cost.

Assuming you like the installer for Bid3b and feel like they will do a thorough and professional job, this would be my choice for sure.

Sunrise Windows vs Harvey

Our house is getting a remodel and we have mostly double hungs (some of the smaller bathroom windows that require a tempered glass), 1 horizontal slider and several basement hopper windows. The quotes we have

Restorations
$465 - Double Hung
$420 - Horizontal Slider
$250 - Hoppers

Harvey Tribute
$490 - Double Hung
$450 - Horizontal Slider
$390 - Hoppers

[Contractor Response]

Tina, the Restorations is one of the best vinyl windows out there and the price you are getting is frankly very low. The Harvey Tribute is a good window and the price is actually good, but the Tribute can't compete with the Restorations.

Solace Windows Cost

Hi Dane, I filled out the price quote on your website and just had an appointment -- great quotes, thanks! We really liked the company and they have good local reviews. They carry Solace windows (which I believe is the Sunrise Restoration Series- is that right?). We received a quote for $54k for 40 double hungs with SDLs. They could have the windows installed by April which is a plus (some of the other companies were saying we may have to wait until mid-summer). What are your thoughts?

Appreciate it!

Ellen - Homeowner - from 2022

[Website Editor Answers]

Ellen, the Solace window is the Sunrise Restorations, which is a fantastic series. I love the fact that they have good reviews. The timeline looks good. The price is probably fair given what I'm seeing lately, although I'd love to hear one more price quote or two so I can judge whether that price is fair or not...

Solace Windows Cost Quote

Hello Tim or Dane, I am looking for feedback on a quote for 14 double hungs and 1 half round transom. Located in the Midwest (Missouri) and received a quote of $20,000 installed.

Solace Windows Price List is as follows:

$1128 per unit and $282 labor on the double hungs and

$1670 unit with $334 labor on transom



Is this pricing in line for this type of window?

That's pretty expensive to be honest. I would continue to collect bids if I were you. Here is my list. [Send Dane an email for his Best Replacement Windows list.]

Sunrise Windows Cost

The Alenco rep apparently sells Solace windows - I asked about why the website said Sunrise and quote was for Solace windows.

Good afternoon! I am confident that Alenco Home Improvement will offer you the "best" window replacement value to permanently address your home's challenged Wood Windows.

As discussed, Alenco's Solace Windows offers a better replacement window in the marketplace because of our patented FIBERCORE frame technology! Our FIBERCORE frame prevents your windows from ever warping. NO other replacement window can make this guarantee. Other window frames will eventually bow, flex or warp and make them very difficult to open and allow cold/hot air to enter your home.

As discussed, there are additional manufacturers savings extended this week that offer you exceptional value. As a possible strategy, you could consider replacing your home's 10 front elevation windows excluding your geometric window in your closet. Alenco Home Improvement would remove your home's existing windows, perfectly size and install each New Double Hung with a Black exterior, English Walnut interior, Low E366 insulated glass with colonial grilles (in between the insulated glass) on each Double Hung's Top Sash Only with Half Screens. This option is only a $17,896 installed investment. If you prefer a White Exterior with an English Walnut Interior this installed investment is only $14,483! If helpful, we can review easy plan plans ranging from 12 months SAC to 24 months 0% interest.

[Site Editor's Answer]

Marilyn, the Solace should be the Restorations that is simply relabeled under the Solace name to certain reps/distibutors. This is my understanding. However, confirm this before you proceed.

Assuming this is the Restorations, and the mention of the fibercore leads me to believe it is, this is the company's best window. Actually, it's one of the very best vinyl/fiberglass windows on the market. One more however...your quote is really expensive for 10 windows.

Before proceeding, I would collect a couple more bids. For instance, the Zen dealer in your area sells a very good window in the Lotus (a relabeled Soft-Lite Pro). Not as good as the Restorations Series, but still good. I believe they have a very good reputation.

Here is my list of good and great windows for you if you want to investigate further...

Sunrise Windows Prices

Dane, Tim, I'm comparing quotes to replace 3 windows side by side, Double hung. Just noticed small amount of rot on interior sill so will replace stool as well. What's your thoughts on these two options?

1st quote: 3 x Wincore 7700 series. $3373 includes installation.

2nd quote: 3 x Solace series. $4024 includes installation and tax.

I have a 35"x17" eyebrow above the middle window as well but 1st quote didn't think we needed to replace. 2nd quote said they would have to replace. The eyebrow price alone would be $2441. That is not included in the quote above.

Thanks.

Shawn - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Shawn, the eyebrow piece of this is throwing me a bit because that’s a pricey fix. But if it’s leaking through the roof/eyebrow then it has long term implications for the window below.

On the question of the Wincore 7700 and the Sunrise Solace, the price difference is fair. I think you’d be fine with the 7700, but the Sunrise is the better window. For me, these decisions come down to your timeline in the house with an over under of say 10 years.

If this were my project, I’d get more bids as a cost free method to understanding whether or not I needed to remove the eyebrow or whether some interior flashing and framing could shore everything up at a fraction of that cost.

Sunrise Solace vs OKNA 600DX

Hi Dane and Tim,

Thank you very much for the information from your web site. I found it very useful.

Could you please help me to decide between two quotes?

I need to replace one patio sliding door with a transom window above (custom external color) plus 4 double hungs (two of them are >100 UI).

I got several quotes from different companies for this project but finally need to decide between the two of them.

Company #1 Solace (aka Restorations) windows/door: $7200;

Company #2 600DX windows, Elegante 8800 sliding door with OKNA 500 transom window: $9200.

On the first glance the decision is quite obvious, but there is a catch. Company #1 has very good reviews, but specializes mostly on roof installation. However, multiple reviews about their work on window installation are also very good. 5-year workmanship warranty.

Company #2 specializes mostly on window installation and has excellent reviews, i.e., slightly higher rating. Lifetime workmanship transferable warranty.

Is it worth to spend additional $2K for the better workmanship warranty? On one hand, this could be additional peace in mind and possible benefit if we decide to move to another place and sell our home (no plans for this now). However, I am not sure that this warranty adds much value from a practical perspective considering that any installation issues will probably reveal themselves in less than 5 years. In addition, I plan to replace another sliding door and ~10 windows in future, and, therefore, the difference in overall cost could become quite substantial.

What is your opinion about these options?

Thank you.

Alex - Homeowner - from 2020

[Website Editor Answers]

Alex, both the Restorations and OKNA 600DX are top tier vinyl windows and doors. So for me, to save $2K is a pretty big deal. Of course, I would insist that the crew that comes in and does the work is their best window installation team. Essentially that they spend at least a handful of days a month installing windows.

You are typically going to know in the first month if there are issues with the doors and windows. A top tier product won't develop problems for another 15 years at least.

Since you are replacing more windows and doors down the road, you will want to go with the Restorations in my opinion. Save the money...I'll bet you can figure out a place to spend it!

Sunrise Impact Windows Cost

Hello received quotes from 2 local dealers.

One Rep offered the sunrise vanguard 10 windows 1 sliding patio door with Omega 12 glas $8670 the other Rep offered sunrise Coastal - he would match the price $8670

I have not heard of the sunrise coastal before and have not found anything/ reviews online.

I was told the sunrise vanguard is not dp 50 rated but the coastal sunrise window is so is the sliding door. We live in South Carolina not on the coast however we do get Hurricans here inland too.

Which one would be better? Is the quoted price ok?

Any info is appreciated.

Brigitte - Homeowner - from 2018

[Website Editor Answers]

Since you are in an area that is subject to hurricane like conditions, I would say go with the Coastal Sunrise window. Same price and you get the extra DP rating.
