Andersen Vinyl Windows
At one time, Anderson owned American Craftsman and Silverline, both of which still sell their vinyl window series in the big box stores. Unfortunately, the quality of these companies was never good. Anderson ended up selling both of the companies over a decade ago and has stayed out of the vinyl sector since then.
Andersen Composite Windows
The 100 series, a composite window series, is quite nice looking, but perhaps a bit pricey for what you are getting. The 100 series is very nice looking and offers great colors and finishes that make it one of the better looking windows out there. The performance number are going to be okay, not as good as the best composite window, which is probably the Okna Starmark 900.
Andersen vs Renewal By Andersen
The company also owns Renewal By Andersen, which is a franchise that uses a similar fibrex material in the mainframe and sash. The Renewals tend to be VERY expensive. Here is our link to Is Renewal By Andersen The Same As Andersen Windows - this does a nice job of explaining the relationship in better detail. Scroll down for all of our Andersen Windows reviews.
Andersen Wood Windows
The company is best known for their wood clad windows. Their 200 Series is their builder grade and is not a bad wood window. We would always recommend consumers try to stretch into the 400 Series, even if it means saving money on hardware or other other add ons in order to keep the per replacement window cost to a minimum. It is their 400 Series window that really shines, particularly the Woodwright model (there is a review below on this model).
The A Series or Architectural Series is a very pricey window that is pretty amazing looking, but it is simply out of the price range on most consumers. The E-Series is actually Eagle Windows, now owned by Andersen, and this is a nice wood window as well - if you like or need interesting exterior color options definitely take a look at the E-Series.
Andersen Window Warranty
Andersen offers more or less an industry standard warranty on their windows. The Andersen 200 and 400 series covers the wood exteriors for a period 5 years and all other parts and components for 10 years from the date of installation. The insulated glass unit is covered for 20 years from the date of installation. The warranty is transferable to another owner and these warranty periods remain in place. There is no accidental glass breakage provision in this warranty. Click to read the Andersen Window Guarantee in more detail on each of their window and door series.
Andersen Windows Reviews :: 200 Series
The Andersen 200 Series is the company's base wood clad window. The 200 Series uses an exterior vinyl cladding with a real wood interior and comes in a variety of colors and custom options, although much less so than the better and more expensive 400 Series.
Hello, I'm looking to replace 10 double hungs (2846 and 2032) Anderson 200 series windows which are 40+ years old. I will look at RBA, but would like to consider other options based on your recommendations. I don't want just vinyl, ideally a composite with clad on inside...I dont want to have paint anything. Also want them to tilt in for cleaning. We are located in the Harrisburg Pa. area. Suggestions?
Doug, here are a few of my lists on different material options and recommendations for you to take a look at.
Updated offer both windows by Anderson for $6,100.00 is this a better offer
Kevin, the Andersen price estimate looked quite solid, about what I would expect to pay for the Andersen doors and window. I personally like the idea of putting in a high quality vinyl door and window (like the Polaris/Ideal option) only because these offer better energy efficiency and will typically hold up better over time.
Would you recommend the Andersen 200 window or the Ideal Majestic Signature. The Majestic is quoted out at $650 installed, while the Andersen is at $800. By the way, I've been digging into your Andersen Windows reviews and it's helpful so good on you.
Evan, the Andersen 200 series is a wood window, while the Ideal Majestic is a vinyl window. In terms of the Andersen 200 vs 400, I think the 200 is okay, but I much prefer the 400 series from them.
Hi Dane! We found your website doing a Google search and would love your opinion! We're in the process of purchasing a new construction spec house and the developer offers Andersen 200 series windows as standard, or we can get a $6K credit for using MI 4300 series windows. Is the credit worth it in the long run or should we stick to the Andersen 200s? If we do get the 200s, what maintenance is required?
Jon and Rochelle, MI windows are typically considered a builder grade window, a cheaper vinyl window that lowers costs for builders on home. They would be lucky to last 12 to 15 years. The Andersen 200 wood window is a good quality window. I like the 400 series more, but the 200 series is not bad.
I'm building a new home on the Gulf coast off Fort Myers, on Pine Island, FL. The building code requires high velocity impact resistant windows which I've narrowed down to PGT vs Andersen double hung, low E windows. Jeld Wen was also suggested but I don't believe their windows are comparable. I think, due to salt, sun and wind exposure, the vinyl clad exterior should be considered over the aluminum clad? I've also been told that I definitely want the PGT aluminum clad sliding doors for our (2) sixteen foot openings. My concern… I want to use the best for my situation vs saving money, as this is our last home and I don't want to cut corners on something as important as this. Thank you for your expertise…
Susan, I think you're right to eliminate the Jeld Wen from the mix if you want the best hurricane windows for your home. I really like PGT and find their prices to be quite competitive and the quality of their windows to be good. I would price out both products first to see how they compare before I made any decision. Then I would compare the interior "look of the windows" - is the aesthetic difference worth the added cost of the Andersen to you. This is a personal decision and one that I can't make for you, obviously.
Thank you Tim. I value your input and will let you know! I also spoke w/ my window gal up north and she was quite definite on which Andersen…the A series. She does a lot on the seacoast of New Hampshire where I also live and although she isn't familiar w/PGT….she says a whole world of difference between 400 vs A…and to go w/ A series, as made much better from the git go. So I'm pricing out PGT vs Andersen 'A' and will look into the CWS you mentioned. Thanks!
Most people today are using vinyl windows (at least in the replacement market). The Andersen 200 series is a vinyl wrapped sash with a wood frame. Andersens used to be everywhere, and to a lot of people take them almost as a generic name for a window.
The Andersen 400 Series is the best window option in the Andersen fleet and one to take a look at if your budget allows. This is a vinyl clad wood window that can be ordered in any number of colors, sizes, upgrade options, etc. Similarly to the 200 Series, the Andersen 400 windows comes in two basic models, the Tilt-Wash and the Woodwright. The sash on the 400 Tilt-Wash is much improved over the material used on the 200 Series.
Dane, I’ve been replacing my builder grade Patriot vinyl windows w/ nail flange with Anderson 400’s w/ nail flange. The existing vinyl windows only take up half 2x4 wall depth and have a drywall return that needs to be removed to allow the Anderson 400 to fit in the full 2x4 opening. My issue is my kitchen window.
HI Dane, I was reviewing your site and appreciate your honesty in providing your opinion on windows. I just received a quote for 10 double hung replacement insert windows from RBA for 30k. Seems like alot. Would love a list of other high quality windows to install.
Demitri, the RBA quote is definitely high. I'm not sure I would pay $1300 a window to rehab them. I would go with a top tier vinyl window with an upgrade to an interior wood finish -- like an Okna 800 DX or a Sunrise Restorations.
Need 7 double hung 36w×49h, 2 double hung 24w×61, one picture window 71w×61h, want colonial sash,grille 3/4 inch between glass full fiberglass screen. not sure on glass for long island ny.
Lou, the Andersen 400 is a wood clad window, while the Renewal is a composite frame. Both are quite expensive. The Andersen 400 is, in my opinion, a very nice wood clad window. The Renewal is, in my opinion, much too expensive for the price you will pay.
Hello Dane, I really appreciate your site and helpful information. I live in Fresno, Ca (zip 93704). We are replacing 36 windows with casement windows to replace old metal crank out windows (home built in 1945). The windows are 2 lites across/horizontal and 3 lites down/vertical.
Kerry, I’ve been getting mobbed with the black exterior frame questions lately. It’s definitely a hot trend.
Hello Dane, have bids on the Andersen 100 and 400, pretty close in price. I thought the Andersen 100 series seemed pricey as well. Unfortunately, Home Depot and not the local Andersen dealer has the best price on both series. I visited the dealer showroom and took another look in person at the 100 Series vs 400 Series. Luckily, they had a painted black interior 400 Series and 100 series on site.
Hang in there, Kerry. The Andersen 400 window is quite nice, so maybe that's the direction to go.
Thank you so much. Your confirmation on the Andersen 400 confirms the choice and research and pricing can finally be over. Many thanks again.
So, in searching around I found you folks. I'm replacing two sets of fixed (don't ask!) glass doors with sliders. I had never heard of Paradigm and was only considering Anderson 400 series. The Paradigm is the 8300 NC sliding glass doors. Certainly different price points.
Diana, Paradigm makes a decent vinyl window and door. Andersen 400 doors are great, but the wood interior isn’t the best for energy efficiency. I actually have these in my house, but I also don’t live in such an extreme climate. Since you are in NH, try to get a bid from Sunrise, Soft-Lite, and or Okna. These would be a better option than Paradigm.
Dane, I went on your site to get info on a mid range replacement window. Is window nation a good co. I was looking at 400 series anderson or 70 series vinyl replacement window. I have 8 -32"x64" windows & 3 -32"x54" .what would you recommend -.must be energy star rated windows and tilt and wash double hung.
Jim, yes, Window Nation is a good company that often carries good brands (The different branches do carry different window brands though, so its tough to make a definitive claim here.) My problem with them is sometimes the bid strikes me as just too high. Send me their bid when you get it and I'm happy to look it over and make recommendations.
Hi Dane, we recently had hail damage and need to replace two sliding glass doors. We thought we’d look into your Andersen windows reviews for 30+ year old windows that leak and don’t function well. We have a large house in a nice neighborhood. Lots of wood trim around our windows and our doors are stained wood. So wood or high-quality veneer are a requirement.
Tim, the Renewal story is pretty typical for them. Apparently they will shave off 45% of their original bid, which begs the question of why do they put out the original bid if not to rip you off. grrrr....
Dane, I appreciate your response. I just found it in my spam folder. I think we are headed down the right road. I asked my realtor for recs on installers. She gave me a long list of carpenters/contractors. One of them worked as a window installer for 8 years previously so we went with him. He recommended we check prices with the local lumberyard and they are very near wholesale for the Andersen 400s.
Hey guys, just reading your Andersen windows reviews page on the answers you have given and have a need for some insight. I will be building a log cabin next year and looking for the best windows out there. Looking for a black window inside and out. I have hesitations on say a painted vinyl, but maybe a veneer will last?
Jim, the black exterior on windows looks so good for so many projects. I know Marvin makes a good black exterior on their Integrity and I believe the Infinity as well, but yes, fiberglass is typically 30% more than vinyl.
I'm considering the Viwinco Oceanview hurricane window for my coastal home. I've also always heard great things about the Andersen 400. I have 20 regular windows and 3 patio sliding doors to replace. I saw the Andersens and really liked them. However, the cost to go from the Viwinco to the Andersen 400 series was $21,000.
Milly, the Andersen 400 and Viwinco Oceanview really couldn't be more different products. One is a wood clad non impact window, the other is a vinyl impact window. I think you first need to decide what you need. The Andersen 400 wood clad window is quite nice, but personally I don't think it's ideal for coastal applications. I would much prefer a vinyl impact window, which will last longer, hold up better to the temperature fluctuations, and requires no maintenance.
Hi guys, I’m a window novice and need some advice. We have 27 windows in our home, they are the old Andersen Narroline 200 wood frame double hung series. My wife and I are looking at doing the 400 series conversion ourselves...https://parts.andersenwindows.com/detail_1600440__w_dh_con.html. We also just got a quote on doing pocket window installation for the Gentek Series Signature Elite 3000 DH. Price aside, what do you think of the quality difference here, and what is your opinion on doing the conversion vs. pocket window vs. a full frame replacement?
Wayne, you have some tough questions here because I really don't know the overall quality of your window frames. The big question on the conversion kit is how plumb your window frames are. Personally, I would get a couple of window companies out to "give you bids" but really to inquire whether doing the conversion is viable based on the 1) quality of your frames and 2) how plumb or out of plumb your frames. I'd kind of slip in the questions as they measure your windows. Conversion kits go well if your frames are in good shape, but they can get tricky on older homes, even for the pros.
I had bid bids, either the Anderson 400 or the Sunrise Restoration. Leaning towards the Sunrise Window. Any opinion on the matter? Thanks.
Barry, the Sunrise Restoration is the better performer over the Anderson 400 series. Both are nice windows but the Sunrise is going to last longer and be more energy efficient.
Thanks for all the info as I have found you and the website to be very helpful. Last question I have is, have you heard or experienced any "leaks/drafts" with the 400 series? I've been looking at reviews on the 400 series and some have commented on them being drafty and not always having a good seal. To be fair, most of these reviews were from 2-3 years ago so not sure if they changed the window since then. The air infiltration rating is <.3 if I'm reading it correctly. Will a good vinyl window have better air infiltration ratings then a good wood window like the Andersen 400?
Bill, the AI of a good vinyl window will always beat out a good wood window. The Andersen 400 window is quite good, but if it were me, I would go with a good vinyl window any day. They are less expensive, achieve better performance, have a better warranty (i.e. will last longer), and they require less maintenance. They just don't look as nice, although some top vinyl window manufacturers have done a good job with their interior laminates that mimic the look of wood.
Hello, I'm currently in the process of getting bids to replace 27 windows in the Philadelphia area and the price for the job is in the $20,000-$30,000 range depending on the windows which is just a midgrade vinyl window.
Bill, assuming the frames are in good shape, the conversion kits can be a great way to go. Here's the issue though, they can be tricky to install right. Even professional installers who don't often do conversion kits can have issues. I would first get a couple of bids from local companies on replacement, but then ask if they also do conversion kits, what their opinion is as it relates to the condition of your windows, how they would go about the project, etc. Basically get as much professional and free advice as possible.
I found a company that is Andersen certified and does the Conversion kits. I didn't like sales guy but tried to ignore that aspect as I just wanted a price and if my current frames/sills were good for the kits. He said they looked good and that I was "lucky" as I was going to save a bunch going with the conversion kits. They wanted $27,000 for the job.
Bill, I think $27,000 sounds quite high as well. That's $1,225 per window for the conversion and he's saying that replacement windows would cost over $1800 per window. Unless I was getting the Andersen A series (which is a beautiful window), I wouldn't pay $1800 for any Andersen window.
I'm getting 3 quotes on the Sunrise Classic, Andersen 400 series, and Simonton 5500. I'd love to get your take...
Greg, all of these windows are good. The Andersen 400 series is going to be the most expensive, but is a good wood clad window. The Simonton 5500 is nice but the Sunrise Classic is the series is the best of the bunch in my opinion. They have some good interior wood laminates to choose from that look pretty similar to real wood. You sort of get the best of both worlds here -- a wood clad looking window without the maintenance and cost.
Dane, the Anderson bid actually came in $2,500 lower and included full frame replacement vs only in-frame for the Sunrise. In addition, Anderson had their best look window grills included in the price and Sunrise did not. Door prices for our front door were much better as well plus a much better looking door than the other quote. Finalizing a decision this week but likely going with Anderson at this point. So far Sunrise would not budge on price.
Good morning Tim, I live in the Dallas area and have 9 windows to replace; however, as many of your readers I am at a loss to select the correct option.
Dan, in terms of Andersen, I would suggest the 400 series. The fibrex 100 series is a decent window. The Renewal By Andersen is an upgraded 100 series.
After reading your Andersen windows reviews, I am now deciding between the Anderson 400 series and Milgard Essence series.
Dougan, both the Milgard Essence Series and Andersen 400 are both good windows. I would rate the Andersen 400 series over the Milgard Essence window and I think they enjoy a better reputation in the industry. Of course, Andersen may also be quite a bit more than Milgard windows costs.
I'm replacing 50 windows.
Asia, the Andersen 400 series is a very solid wood window, but the Pella Architect might be better in my opinion and our Andersen windows reviews backs this up I think.
Looking at installing new Anderson double hungs into existing Anderson casement windows frames without removing the frames which are in good condition. Trying to choose between Renewal inserts by Anderson or Wood Wright inserts by Anderson but unsure which way to go. Any input on which you feel is the better unit and why would be a big help, please respond soon if possible. Thanks
Mark, I would recommend getting both the bids and seeing how they compare price wise. The Anderson Woodwright should be the 400 series, which is a very nice wood window, one of the wood windows that I often recommend (although I try to lightly guide most consumers away from real wood windows as a rule). The Renewal is a fibrex composite frame and should come with a better warranty (wood windows typically come with a 10 or 20 year warranty only), but the Renewal may be pricier than the standard Andersen.
Hi. I'll be residing my house next year, but wanted to start with the windows. Is it better to get new construction windows or replacement windows? I'll be using the Anderson 400 series. Is there a difference in their performance? When installed will new construction windows destroy the inside of the house? On the Anderson 400 is the smart sun window and laminated glass option worth the money?
Mary, in general, new construction windows differ from replacement windows in only one significant way, the NC windows have a nailing fin or flange across the top and sides that allow the builders to install the windows quickly and securely to the frame. There are no performance differences between the two types of windows themselves. The one issue with new construction windows is that when they need to be replaced, 6 to 8 inches of the exterior surrounding siding or stucco etc. must be torn off and replaced to hide the nailing fin. In your case, since you are residing your home next year, you could certainly use new construction and then have the siding installers go right over the fin without much hassle.
Looking at Windows - am not sure which is better the ply gem premium or the Anderson 400 Series?
Cory, these two windows are very different, the Ply Gem is a vinyl window and the Anderson 400 Series is an aluminum clad wood interior window. Check out this article on vinyl vs wood windows to see some of the main differences between the two. I think the first step in your process would be to figure out which type of window frame you would prefer.
The wall in my kitchen is being rebuilt and I am in the process of putting in a patio door. My home is brick, but now I have my windows to take into consideration. I have received a number of quotes, but the two that stood out are the Pella Proline and the Andersen 400. Does anyone have any advice for me on which I should choose?
I am a strong believer in Andersen windows. I have had many problems with Pella in the past and find they tend to leak, especially their aluminum series. I am not sure that Pella is even considered a high end brand. Andersen on the other hand offer excellent customer service and I have found that their doors and windows have superior seals. If money isn't an issue you may want to shop around and find out if Marvin is available in your area, if not then I recommend you go with the Andersen windows.
I am also a Andersen believer -- check out my ratings on my Andersen windows reviews page. We recently installed over twenty Andersen 400 windows without any problems. They all fit well and were excellent quality. These were custom made, so there we some issues with the screens, but this was easily managed by the customer service staff. If I were to choose though I would go with Marvin windows, I have never had a single days problem with this brand.
I always recommend that my customers go with Marvin where possible, they may be slightly more expensive, but they are a quality window that is made to last. If the client is unwilling to pay for these windows then my next choice would be Andersen. I find the Andersens to be quality products and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend the Integrity range.
Andersen windows 400 series - I bought custom as opposed to home depot windows, and it was a disappointment. Andersen has an incompetent customer service and if you get a defective window then be assured you'll be wasting lots of your time trying to get someone to fix it.
Any opinions on the Vinylmax Sherwood? It's supposed to be some kind of vinyl/wood hybrid? I was originally looking at the Simonton 5500 and the Sunrise (not sure which model, Verde maybe?), but then someone suggested these and I'm not sure what to do.
I don't like the Vinylmax Sherwood window, it looks to me like they made a cheap vinyl frame and glued wood to it. It's also bulky, which means a lot less glass to let light in. Look at the Andersen Woodwright 400, it has similar vinyl exterior and wood interior but much higher quality. Marvin makes a composite, too. For that matter, there are tons of all vinyl windows that offer wood-look interior.
We're replacing 30 windows that are mainly double hungs with some horizontal sliding and awning windows thrown in there as well. So far, we have bids from Andersen on their 400 Woodwright series with upgraded glass and screens fro $20K. Sierra Pacific windows came in and there bid was about 7K less for an aluminum clad window with a triple low-e glass and screens. They seem to be more on the west coast so I don't feel like they do as much business here in Montana. Weathershield was $16K, but there were a few design features that turned me off so I'm going to pass on them. Finally,
Of the three you mention, I like the Andersen 400 window the best. They make a very good window at a top end price, but you get the backing of a very strong company. Sierra Pacific is a mid range manufacturer with mid range windows. I dislike Weathershield.
The Andersen A Series is a top-of-the-line fiberglass clad wood window that is fully customizable and comes in a huge array of frame, trim and sash colors. The window can be ordered in any 1/4 inch size increment and has tons of amazing custom features and hardware upgrades. The A Series, or Architectural Series, is built to be used by architects and high end designers and is priced as such. If you can afford it, our hats are off to you because this is a truly beautiful wood window. I would give the Andersen A Series Window a 4.8 out of 5 stars rating. Scroll down to read all of our Andersen Windows reviews on the A series.
My wife and I are about to build our new home in South Carolina. Our property is on the intercostal waterway where impact glass is require or, other method. We are currently getting bids on windows and doors. Andersen windows are at the top of our list. Today, one of the builder suggested I look at Ply Gem windows quality is good and savings are approximately 10 to 15% less than Andersen. Do you have an opinion?
Hi Archie, I would say that you are right to have Andersen at the top of your list, assuming you can afford them - they are certainly not inexpensive. Ply Gem is a large building supply company and focuses on more contractor grade type windows, although their Premium Series is well made. I would think that the comparable difference in price from Ply Gem to Andersen would be at least 25% or more.
Dane, we are planning on using Andersen Fiberglass cladding A series. Our budget is $3,000,000 but, if we can save $100,000 by spending smart, i am certainly for that.
The Andersen A Series are pretty amazing windows. If it were me, I would also get a bid on the Marvin Ultimate Series and see if Loewen has a dealer in your area, I think their windows are gorgeous too!
Scroll down to read all of our Andersen windows reviews on the company's patio doors and options.
Hi Dane, we are replacing 12 double hungs and a sliding door on our porch. We are looking at full replacement sliders (6) because we want the most window glass area as possible. Because of our desire for a greater visual field, we are considering a high end vinyl that is good quality, has a low profile and has a Cedar interior (reddish wood). The soft light window has a “Brazilian cherry” color that is a very close match, but the window frame seems Bulky. Can you tell me, what are the best high end vinyl sliders with low profile frame?
Mark, the Soft-Lite sliding patio doors do tend to run a bit bulky, but are excellent products. You might want to take a look at the Sunrise Restorations patio doors. I can't remember exactly how they compare to the Soft-Lite, but they tend to make a bit slimmer profile than the Soft-Lite. They are also offered in a number of faux wood interior options.
We need 2 two-door sliding patio doors and can't decide whether to go with Anderson or Pella.
Mitchell, if you want wood clad doors then these two are good options. They or both close to one another and both expensive. I'd probably go with Andersen or Marvin instead of Andersen or Pella. Go check out our Andersen windows reviews on the site to see more on ratings.

I came across your site trying to figure out how to make basic decisions on replacement windows and I'm very glad that you're so open to personalized advice.
Alan, it can be a confusing process. My advise is to stick with vinyl, which accounts for perhaps 60% of all US homes and growing every year. They don't look that great but they have tons of advantages over something like wood clad -- see my link to article.
Hi Dane, we are looking to replace our current vinyl windows that are now about 35 years old. They are called Ultra-Sash, a now defunct company but they held up well.
Jenny, I am happy to provide you with our list of windows. My notion is that a contractor installing Andersen windows will be higher than a local window dealer who sells a couple of brands, but you really never know until you get a price quote from a contractor. Your best bet would be to collect four or five bids and see where you stand after that.
Dane, I came across your website while researching Renewal by Andersen window pricing. We’re looking at replacing the current Andersen windows, and slider, that we have in our home. They are over 20-years old and are starting to show their age. I was going to get a quote from RBA until I saw your website. I figured I’d ask for the list of what you have for good and great windows as I don’t want to spend the amount of money that I saw others getting quoted for window replacement by RBA.
Dane, have questions on reviews, Where did you get the statistics for OKNA windows and Andersen windows? How many windows were included in the review? Did you consult with AAMA? Did Andersen and OKNA pay for soliciting their product? Thanks for your time.
Kevin, the energy numbers often come from the National Fenestration Rating Council, which is 100% public information and published by the companies themselves. The rest come from the companies themselves, data I have collected over the years, or that has been posted on forum sites from window experts I trust. I do my best to vet it and update it as it comes in.
So you don't like the big names like Pella, Anderson, Jeld-Wen or Sierra Pacific? Those are available locally.
Jeff, Pella and Andersen make great, expensive wood clad windows. Sierra Pacific is mostly known for wood clad windows as well. Jeld Wen makes great doors, and actually their aura last wood clad windows are well priced. The Andersen 100 composite window is a good buy.

The Andersen 200 window can be ordered in either the Tilt-Wash or the NarrowLine model. The Tilt-Wash is a nice design feature (the single and double hung sashes tilt in for easier cleaning), however the PPG Flexicron sash is not as nice (or as sturdy) as the one used on the 400 Tilt-Wash. The NarrowLine is the preferred design option, although in general, the Andersen 200 Series is a bit clumsier than the far superior 400 Series. I would give the Andersen 200 Series Window a 4.1 out of 5 stars rating. Scroll down to read all of our Andersen Windows reviews on the 200 series.

I have received another quote for Anderson ESeries 200 windows to be installed in the patio and bedroom. Price is only a few hundred dollars More than the Polaris sliding patio door and Ideal Majestic bedroom window. Is the Anderson a better window?
Thanks again for all your help

Most people paint their interior wood anyway so the look is often very similar. If you aren't painting, but are staining, and you really like the look of wood, then that's a reason to go with the Andersen 200 series.

The Ideal Majestic gets better numbers and is cheaper. The Anderson 200 is the nicer looking window. I think you need to first decide what material you want in your home and go from there.

Wood windows do need to be stained or painted in order to increase their longevity. The 200 series comes with a vinyl exterior that should hold up to the elements. I think in the long run the less expensive way to go is the Andersen 200 series. You may want to ask your builder if there are any additional vinyl window options, but I wouldn't go with an MI window myself.
Rochle, the outside is vinyl so nothing needs to be done to the outside of the window. Wood is an organic material and should be protected from the elements. Typically, it is either stained to match your interior trim color or often painted to match your interior color scheme. I'd say every 6 to 8 years you should have someone come in and stain or paint.

Andersen Windows vs PGT Windows
Susan - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Response]
This is assuming you are going with the 200 or 400 Andersen series (the Andersen 100 series is the fibrex composite and won't look much different from the PGT vinyl windows). The exteriors of the windows are going to look very similar because the windows are going to be vinyl (or aluminum).
In terms of durability and quality of the products though, I'd put PGT up there with Andersen. Others might not, but I would. Another company you could take a look at is CWS Windows, they makes vinyl and aluminum hurricane impact windows and they are one of the rivals of PGT. I always like to throw a third company in to see how their prices and products compare. Let me know what you end up going with!

Andersen Windows Reviews On The 200 Series
Most people don't realize that it's a wood window because it looks like vinyl. I really wouldn't recommend them - if the stores had an actual window on display I don't think anyone would ever order them. The 400 Series is a different story, solid product.
Don - Contractor - from 2011
Andersen 400 Series Reviews
The Woodwright option uses a fibrex finish sash and is our design choice over the Tilt-Wash option for this reason alone (consumers who like the idea of a tilt-in window may have a different take). In fact, the Andersen 400 Series Woodwright is one of our picks for top wood windows on the market, although it is certainly not inexpensive. I would give the Andersen 400 Series Window a 4.6 out of 5 stars rating. Scroll down to read all of our Andersen windows reviews on the 400 series.

Anderson 400 Windows vs. Marvin
The window is flanked tightly by (2) cabinets and if I replace this window with an Anderson 400 I won’t have enough space for trim/casing or sill. What window could be used that would slip into place w/o removing the drywall returns and allows me to keep the existing window sill. If possible can you recommend a nail flange double hung or casement window that I don’t need to go through a dealer.
I am presently getting estimates on double hung vinyl windows for 5 windows. Just had estimates from Marvin and Reliabilt from Lowes. Home Depot is coming out in an hour. After reading the Andersen Windows reviews and Reliabilt reviews, we’re leaning to Marvin- about $2000 more. Please send your list of window replacements. Reviewing Simonton, Marvin, Pella and and Anderson. Thanks.

Of note, we had an addition on our house 8 years ago and had 6 400 series Andersen windows installed by our contractor that have worked well for us. We are now replacing some original to our 1926 home double hungs that aren’t working great and were given a $1,300 a window quote to rehab the current windows.

Replacements For Andersen 400 Series
What is a good window? does andersen have custom windows in 400 series isn't that what is compared to andersen renewal other than having painted wood inside w/ same 20 yr guarantee or
Could u recommend a better vinyl window or andersen what is the cost for sizes?
My old andersen replacement windows are 37 yrs old tough to open&close.

A high quality vinyl window is probably your best bet and will provide much more value than either of the two options you mentioned. Have you looked at our Andersen windows reviews page for additional info on the company?
Two recommendations I can make in your area include Okna windows and Ideal windows, both will have dealers in your area. The Okna 500 and 600 models are extremely good, as are the Ideal Majestic and Platinum 300.

Andersen 400 vs. Andersen 100
Most of the windows, a total of 22 windows are sized 36x51. We are looking at black interior and black exterior (which limits window manufacturers). The best price we've received just for the cost of just the windows are from Home Depot bidding room:
100 series: $18,150 (for all 36 windows)
400 series: $21,500 (for all 36 windows)
installation quote: $11,090 (from contractor)
total:
100 series $18,150 + $11,090 = $29,240
400 series $21,500 + $11,090 = $31,640
Do you have any other suggestions for our location? I've spoken to local window companies and they offer black exterior but NO black interior (I'd have to pay to have painted).
The current windows will have to be cut out of its existing lather and plaster interior and stucco exterior. There is no trim at all around 15 of the 36x51 windows inside the house or outside the house. There is wood trim on the interior of 7 of the 36x51 windows but the exterior is stucco straight up to the window. The contractor says since no trim, he has to match the existing exterior stucco and interior lathe and plaster. Also, this price includes repainting/touch-up interior plaster and exterior stucco.
Please give me your insight as to price of windows and the window installation cost which seems high to me.
Thank you.

I've heard less than good things about the Milgard black frames. Honestly I don’t know off hand who in California does a good black frame. Check if there is an Amerimax dealer in your area, they may have an option.
The Andersen 100 is a good composite but not a great one. Kinda seems pricey to me. I actually think that’s a good price on the 400 series but wood windows are not the most energy efficient. Plus you are painting them so what’s the point of buying wood interiors if you can’t see the grain.
I’m gonna do some digging and see what I can find.
Dane - Website Editor - from 2020
[Kerry's Reply]
The 400 Series painted wood interior looks richer/more substantial compared to the 100 Series black interior (the interior grill was popping off the glass much to the saleswoman's chagrin). Like you, I thought the price of the 400 Series is good when compared to the 100 Series price. Again, the price is solely for windows and doesn't include installation. As mentioned, my contractor's installation price is $11,090.
I also spoke with the Marvin dealer and they said their windows are 2x Andersen 100 series windows. He guessed about $36k (without installation). I truly appreciate your Andersen windows reviews and you researching options. This process really is taxing. Thanks again.

Andersen 400 Series
Jim - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
The 400 Andersen series is quite good, but wood clad windows are quite expensive and do require maintenance. They also don't typically hold up as well as vinyl over time (reflected in the shorter warranty period). The Silverline 70 series is a poorly made window and one that I would avoid. Andersen bought Silverline, but this vinyl window is pretty low on the quality curve.
Okna, Sunrise, and Soft-Lite should be available through local companies in Baltimore and these are the vinyl window brands I'd take a close look at if I were you.
Tim - Site Editor - from 2019
Andersen 400 Series Bid
Our first stop was Replacement By Andersen. For 35 windows (all double-hung, many are very tall and 5 large pictures), 2 sliders: $118,000…but after discounts it was ONLY $82,000. They came back the next week and lowered it to $68,000 if we signed then.
I shared this story with my brother who owns a warehouse in another state with an Andersen wholesale business as one of his tenants. He took the specifics of my Renewal By Andersen price per window and got an equivalent Andersen 400 quote for $34,000 (low e4 and SmartSun) and thinks he can get another 20% off from the owner.
It seems quite worth it for me to travel to his warehouse, rent a Uhaul and return to my home and get them installed. Here is the catch: I have had a very hard time finding someone who will do install-only. All the window businesses only install what they sell. I’ve been going through a list of contractors/carpenters from our realtor – most won’t return my calls, some say it’s too big of a job for them. Are you aware of businesses that will do install-only? I live in the Pittsburgh area. I’m told I need the window installer to get precise measurements to 1/16th of an inch prior to placing my order.
Thanks for any thoughts/help.
Tim - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
So the Andersen 400 deal sounds great, but obviously you need to find an installer. Check under yelp for window repair/install and start talking to the top 10 installer you can find. Craigslist may have local installers as well, but it is something of a crap shoot. You could also run by Home Depot and Lowes and talk to the guys in the window department and explain the situation. They are sometimes pretty darn down-to-earth and may be willing to give you some names of companies who will do the install only.
The measurements are VERY important, especially because you are going to be on the hook for any misorders and that can be expensive. You might want to trail behind the guy and basically take your own measurements. Measure twice, cut once as the old housing proverb goes.
One final suggestion: Get some bids from a couple of high quality vinyl manufacturers. Soft-Lite, Okna, Sunrise, Polaris, Kensington. I know a couple of them are available in your area. For $700 to $800 per window, you should be able to get a Soft-Lite Elements with an upgraded brushed nickel hardware and an interior veneer that does an amazing job at mimicking the look of wood. These windows are more energy efficient and will last longer than an Andersen 400 wood clad window. Worth a look if nothing else.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2019
[Tim's Reply]
He is going to do complete replacement from the exterior and attempt to leave the framing inside the house intact. Apparently, the Andersens have a bit of an uptilting under the inside part of the window (the outside sill is also tilted down for water to run out). However, this may result in the inside of the window rising above our inside sills. So the lumber guy and our carpenter think
Marvins are a better way to go because they are flat on the bottom (sill is still tilted down on the outside). So we are deciding between Marvin Integrity (now called Elevate) and Signature/Ultimate. The quote for the 35 windows and 2 sliding doors is under 30K, not including install. Still going with wood due to the interior of our house. Thanks for your advice. It really is a mystifying process for the uninitiated.

Andersen 400 Series Log Cabin
Now many of the windows in the home will either be casements or inoperable picture window units. Will want short fractional grids in them.
Many log companies use the Andersen 400 series, but what about the A or E series.
I've heard good things about softlite, but don't know much about them.
Marvin's expensive and I head as much good as bad on their integrity window.
If it were your home, now worried so much about the cost, but wanted an all black window inside and out with fractional grids, what would you install?
Jim - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
I believe the Andersen 100 series comes in a black exterior/interior and this is a decent composite window. It can be found at a pretty competitive price depending on where you get it from.
Milgard makes a good black/black in their Ultra fiberglass window and that should be less expensive than the Marvin Integrity. They also make the black in their vinyl, but I have heard of some issues with their vinyl coloration process so I would be wary to go down this road...
Soft-Lite is an excellent manufacturer, as is Okna, Sunrise, Polaris, Kensington and Vytex Windows. I would call up these manufacturers and ask if they do a black/black frame, what this color option will add to the cost, and also if they have any reps in your area who will come out and give you a free bid.

Wayne - Homeowner - from 2019

The Gentek Series Signature Elite 3000 DH is a decent vinyl window. I like vinyl windows over wood windows myself for long term value, sustainability, etc. The Signature Elite isn't a world beater by any means, but with professional and quality installation it should serve you well.
In terms of the best approach, it all comes done to the quality of your window frames. If you have rot or wood damage, then the full frame replacement is the more prudent approach. If the frames are in good shape, then the pocket or conversion is the better option for the money. If this were me, I'd keep getting bids and getting more professional opinions on the right approach to your home. At some point, I think you'll get a consensus on what the best approach is.

Andersen 400 Series Conversion Kits
My current windows are the Andersen Narrowlines from 1989. One thing I learned today was that Andersen sells a 400 conversion kit for these older windows. I'm basically installing the Andersen 400 window for $10,000 - $12,000. The cost to convert most of my windows which are single hung would be less then half the cost since I can do it myself. If this a good direction to go or will I regret my decision down the road? Any insights you can provide would be helpful.
Bill - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
If your openings are out of plumb as can happen over time, you could be asking for more trouble than its worth. I would definitely explore the option, but would solicit at least three good opinions before buying the conversion kits. If you haven't already definitely look at our Andersen windows reviews page as it can provide some good info on hat they sell and how we rate each window.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2017
[Bill's Reply]
I told him that seemed high considering the install requires less work since they don't have to cap the outside like replacement windows. He gave me the whole sales message and that full replacement 400 series would be around $40,000 for 22 windows so I am saving a ton.
Bill - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
It seems to me you have a couple of choices. You could look for good local installers who have lots of experience with conversion kits and feel comfortable with the job and see what they would charge.
You could do it yourself, but again I think you need a few professionals to come out to get some information out of them in terms of whether the installation is straight forward or is going to cause headaches that you might not want to deal with.
You could shift your attention from Andersen to a high quality vinyl replacement window with an interior laminate option. Okna, Soft-Lite and Sunrise all make some pretty impressive interior laminates that mirror the look of wood without the maintenance requirements. High quality vinyl will blow the doors off of wood clad in terms of performance and longevity. Plus it's much cheaper.

The best comparison for the Renewal series is the Andersen 100 Series, which is made with this same fibrex material. The 100 series ought to be quite a bit less expensive and does offer some fantastic options and finishes - I would get a bid on the 100 series and see how all three windows compare in terms of price, options, aesthetics and features. Also, it's nice to see each of the windows in person, operate the double hung, look at the hardware etc. for a nice compare and contrast.

Mary - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Response]
However, I would advise that you get a number of opinions from the contractor(s) and the window installers themselves who can see the project onsite and give you an opinion based on your project specifics.
In terms of glass upgrades, I like the idea of stepping up into an upgraded low-e option because it positively affects (lowers) the U-value and possibly the SHGC that should pay for itself over time.
Laminated glass is usually put in for safety reasons (or in areas that are subject to storms and hurricanes). I tend to think that laminate glass is overkill and not worth the added cost, but that?s again assuming that you don't live somewhere where there are lots of storms.

Anderson 400 Series vs Ply Gem Premium
Cory - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Response]
Personally, I think vinyl is the better way to go for most homeowners, unless you are really married to the idea of a wood interior or you live in a really high end home that more or less demands a high end window.
Having said all that, the Ply Gem Premium window is a good window, very solid. It isn't the best vinyl out there, but it is top tier mid range vinyl window.
The Andersen 400 Series window is a very good wood clad window. The Woodwright is the preferred option here over the Tilt Wash model. The 400 is one of the better wood windows out there and one that I like for those individuals who need a wood clad window in their house and are willing to shell out the money and the added maintenance for the beauty of a wood window.

Andersen 400 Series Review
My order was sizable and after experience, I can say that the 400 series from Andersen are way overpriced for the quality that is delivered. I got casements and the finishing was chipped. The nails showed and I had 4 dents on them . Guess what Andersen said about it? Well, they said that this is how the windows come out!!! This called bad quality and they are indifferent about it.
It was a hassle from the start. A simple task like inquiring about the delivery date of the order turned into a nightmare. Getting someone to check on the bad quality was a nightmare . It is clear that quality isn't top priority. Save your money and take your business elsewhere. A company that doesn't care about how its product is delivered doesn't deserve my business or yours.

What type of window are you interested in? If you are looking for wood clad, I would say stick to Andersen, Marvin, Kolbe, Loewen. If you are interested in fiberglass, look at Marvin (Infinity and Integrity) and Milgard Ultra. If you are looking at vinyl, I would say stick to Sunrise, Soft-Lite, Okna, HiMark, Polaris, Kensington (Quantum model), or Milgard.
Remember that each company has their budget window, a mid range and a premium model. Typically you will get the most value in that mid range model (as the premium often uses the same frame extrusion but adds on some nice bells and whistles).

Anderson Window Replacement Help!!!
I live in a Baltimore suburb and am looking to replace windows that were installed in the 80's or 90's; my house was built in 1956 so I at least I don't have original single-pane windows!
I have focused my research on Renewal by Anderson, Pella, Jeld, Window Nation (a local company), and Thompson Creek (another local company). I haven't started the price quote process yet.
I think that I'm leaning toward Anderson because, while they all get lousy reviews at some point, Anderson seems to have the most positive.... but their warrantees don't seem to be lifetime.
Additionally, my head is spinning from all of the model options offered. It is as if they studied Porsche's 911 marketing stratification strategy. I'm comfortable paying for mid- or high-grade windows because I want durability, energy savings, and UV protection. It would be really fun if I could get windows with features like controlled- or auto-darkening but I haven't seen any.
Finally, I can't determine why I should lean toward wood, vinyl, or composite frames. (Aluminum doesn't makes sense to me but maybe that should be on the list...)
Can you help me focus on the preferred manufacturers, model lines, and materials? And, is photochromic or other tinting a thing in the market?

Vinyl vs Wood Windows
Buy a high quality vinyl window and consider a wood interior laminate if the look of wood is important to you. They now do a very good job of mimicking the look of wood (in my opinion, some people disagree).
Fiberglass is an option but it usually adds 30% to the cost and I don't see energy efficiency numbers or longevity that warrant that price increase.
Here is my list of good and great windows -- all vinyl for the most part.
