What They Sell And Install
In terms of windows, Blue Springs sells and installs Soft-Lite windows and patio doors. This is an excellent brand that offers a number of options, from the Elements to the Barrington and four options in between. While the Barrington is a decent mid range vinyl window, the Elements series is one of the best in the business.
In addition to Soft-Lite, the company also carries ProVia (love nearly all of their windows, doors and siding), Alside (I’m kind of meh of most of these options, but their premium Soveriegn window is a quality option and they do have some nice vinyl siding lines), and James Hardie (whose fiber cement siding is very good). The company also carries GAF products. All in all, a very impressive line up of brands and products.
Warranty Information
Blue Springs offers a lifetime warranty on most of their products. This protects against any product and manufacturing defects. Their siding also comes with a lifetime warranty. Most of their warranties may be transferred to a subsequent owner. Additionally, the company covers labor for the lifetime of the original purchaser.
Certain products come with a non-prorated 50-year warranty term. Because the company offers so many different services, warranty provisions and terms can vary. Finally, warranty terms in general do have a tendency to change over time - we recommend that you get the very latest warranty details prior to signing any work order.

Blue Springs vs Alenco
I've been contacted by Window Nation and Alenco. I’ll see what they offer. I too like the Elements quote the best, but there was a couple small red flags in dealing with Blue Springs Siding and Windows. I visited their showroom and their marketing manager said they don’t use contractors, only employees.
I found out this is not true. Also, their salesman that came to my house did not want to give me a contract or offer in writin until I agreed to go with him.
When I objected, he did summarize their quote in an email, and they had pricing for 1 year, 90 days, and a special price that included using “advertising dollars” to subsidize my project since they don’t advertise. This brought the price down, to 15K. Then when I shared some information about my other quotes, he talked with the owner and they brought it down to the $11585 with special extra advertising dollars.
This was with the requirement that I post a review and put a sign in my yard for 30 days. And they insisted my wife be present, which I resisted, and they did make an exception because I said I was the sole decision maker. All things that make me hesitant and is very Sales-ey.
I’ve asked Zen if they can get the Elements and am waiting for a response. They quoted the Nirvana which is Classic Plus line, and they offer a Lotus which is triple pane. I suspect it is the Classic Plus line in triple pane. I know the Energy Pro is a good company and has good reviews, and they pretty exclusively use Joyce Trinity series, and have a special Trinity window with some added features because they sell so many Joyce windows.
The Joyce Rep confirmed that they do add extra features to the Trinity line exclusively for Energy Pro. If the choice came down to the Zen quote for Classic Plus vs the Energy Pro Joyce Trinity with some added extras, which would you use? My neighbor has been happy with Energy Pro and they do look nice, and he says they have stood behind him as he has used them for years. His front windows are new, and look very nice.
Thanks so much. Sorry for so many questions.

Mike, Window Nation carries good series for sure -- but their price point can be high in my opinion. Alenco I actually don't know much about so I'll wait until a see their quote.
It sounds like Blue Springs is a pass. The Soft-Lite Classic is a strong option, but it is a level down from the Elements. However, the installation is half the equation so the Zen with the fabulous reviews should be a solid contender. The SL Classic in a triple pane is interesting -- I'd like to know what the upgrade cost is on that...

Blue Springs Siding and Windows Reviews
Dane: we are replacing 11 total windows on front of house. 4 Casement windows (two 80-89 ui, two 90-99 iu), 6 Casement Picture Windows (two 0-59 ui, One 70-79 ui, two 90-99 ui, one 100-109 ui), 1 Half-Round Top Window (80-89 ui).
At least 3 side by side windows need sills replaced as well as side trim from wood rot.
Zen Windows: $9,460. Soft-Lite Classic Plus Line. Wood Rot repair not included, and they do not include exterior wraps. Est $60 to $215 per window for wood rot. Lifetime transferable warranty for labor, materials, hardware, glass and screens.
Blue Springs Siding and Windows (only other Soft-Lite dealer). $11,585. Soft-Lite Elements Line. Includes "Full View" glass whatever that means. Includes replacing the sills and vertical trim boards on the 3 windows with visible wood rot and exterior wraps. Includes lifetime, non-prorated, transferable warranty from Soft-Lite and Lifetime workmanship warranty on all their services. They consider it 10 windows as bedroom is "double casement" counting as one window.
Energy Pro Windows and Siding. $9250. Joyce Trinity Pro Series. Includes wood rot on the 3 windows with visible rot. Lifetime transferrable warranty on windows, and 10 year free service and install warranty. My neighbor has these windows from Energy Pro on the front of his house and they look very nice.
Windura. $17429. Marvin Essential Fiberglass Windows. Wood rot not included. 2 year installation warranty. Marvin Limited Warranty on Windows. This bid included only 2 casements, the other 9 fixed windows. Would be more if change two of the fixed to casement like the above bids.
Johnson County Siding and Windows. They use Provia Windows as only vinyl option. I think they offer lifetime warranty. Getting bid tomorrow but think they will be higher, btw, your Soft-Lite Windows reviews have been so instructive. Thanks.
I think I will go with one of the top 3 unless Johnson County Siding and Windows comes in with great offer, but I think they will likely be higher. I think Provia makes a good window but not sure how compares with Soft-Lite.
FYI. All these windows are for front of house. We replaced 36 windows on sides and back in 2014 with all fixed picture windows being Andersen Fibrex, and all operating windows being Marvin Wood-Ultrex (wood inside and fiberglass outside). I always thought vinyl windows were cheap.
It is funny that I am now looking mostly at vinyl for the front of the house as the other options are now so expensive. I have also learned that what gives vinyl such a bad reputation does not really apply to good vinyl windows available today. The only thing is you can't really paint them. Do you think it is worth it to go with fiberglass or fibrex over vinyl, especially since it is front of house?
Thank you so much for your input. It is awesome that you are willing to help people with this as it can be very confusing.

Mike, I can't tell the difference myself between a vinyl and fiberglass window so I don't think visually it makes a difference -- that's for the material not the window design -- the profile and looks can vary widely. Now if you really like the look of the Marvin over the Soft-Lite Elements for instance then that is something you have to weigh in your decision.

If this were my project, I would go with the Soft-Lite Elements Line for $11,585. The Elements is one of the best vinyl windows on the market hands down. It think it's worth the upgrade cost over the Soft-Lite Classic Plus -- the only mitigating factor here is that Zen has such great reviews.
The Blue Springs Siding and Windows reviews are quite good, but not great from what I could see on google so I would just ask to get their best installation crew and see what they say. I use a line like "my wife is super super picky when it comes to these projects so it has to be down perfectly the first time or she will be calling weekly." Something that tells them you're the squeaky wheel.
