[Website Editor Reply]Dale, I would say you need to contact a window repair person in your area. Yelp or Angie’s list often have these listen — find a well reviewed repair person, call them up and see if they’ll come out and give you a free bid. You will have to pay them to do the work, but switching out a pane of glass shouldn’t be too big a deal. This would be my suggestion as opposed to waiting for a Gerkin rep to come out.
Gerkin Window Replacement In IowaGood Afternoon, we are going to replace 32 windows and want to use a very good quality window. We live in Sioux City, Iowa. We are older and are planning on retiring in a few years. Who would you recommend? We would like white vinyl on the outside and wood grain on the inside.
[Website Editor Reply]Lowell, Gerkin is a window manufacturer out of Iowa that enjoys a good reputation by most contractors who know the brand. They are often mentioned for their aluminum windows. I think their vinyl windows are pretty solid as well.
[Lowell's Reply]Thanks Dane. Just one more question. Do you know anything about Hayfield vinyl windows. They are made in Minnesota but they do have a dealer close to us. Thanks.
[Website Editor Reply]Lowell, I don't hear a ton about Hayfield and have always been under the impression that they made a pretty mediocre product. However, I took a look at their website, specifically at the performance data and I have to say it's much better than I thought. For instance, that 201 single hung (using low-e, fills, and foam inserts) has a DP55, AI of .02, U-value of .27, SHGC of .37, VT of .56 and CR of 62. I'm not sure what model they are showing you, but these are very solid numbers.
Window Replacement In KansasHi, I am needing to replace a Marvin 1979 wood triple casement window set, about 54 x75. The middle window is stationary. It's on the north side of the house. I live in the country in Kansas and it gets hit with a lot of wind/rain/blowing dirt when the wind is from the north. All 3 are cloudy and the two that open have rot on the bottom and are not moveable. So, the frame will probably need replaced. This part of the house was a 1979 addition and is bricked. What brand & material would be best considering the roller coaster weather we have in south central Kansas? Thanks for any help you can offer.
[Site Editor's Answer]Karen, I would google the following brands to see if any local companies offer them in your area -- Gerkin, Don Young, Zen Sunrise, ProVia and possibly Milgard. All of these companies have good reputations and make a quality vinyl window, although I would advise not going with their lower end models.
Aluminum Window Recommendations In TexasHi I'm replacing 1920-year-old house wood windows with aluminum Windows. Do you think MI windows are a good choice? Or recommend another please. I live in central Texas.
[Site Editor's Response]Hi Ginger, MI is typically considered a builder grade window and not the brand that I would recommend - in fact, not even anywhere close. The first bid you are going to want to get is from Don Young, who is a Texas based manufacturer that makes an excellent aluminum window. They have three factories in your state and you should be able to find a dealer or two in your area w/o much problem.
Gerkin Windows vs Don YoungI have about 20 windows in my 1967 ranch style house that I'm wanting to replace. I live in Norman, Oklahoma. I have quotes from Window World, someone who installs Don Young windows, and someone who installs MI windows. I came across your site today and am now thinking I need to get a few more quotes for better quality windows. Can you recommend some good mid-range windows that are available for install in Oklahoma? Sounds like Sunrise, Soft-Lite, and Okna are your top mid-range picks.
[Site Editor's Response]Justin, you are right about Sunrise, Soft-Lite, and Okna - these are all considered top vinyl window manufacturers. I'm not a big fan of Window World or MI windows. I do think Don Young makes an excellent aluminum clad window and a decent vinyl window. I know Gerkin windows is available in your area and they make a very solid aluminum and vinyl window options. If Soft-Lite isn't available, Zen is a franchised option that may be available and their two upper lines are the Soft-Lite Classic and Pro models, both quite good. Let me know if this is enough to go on!
Gerkin Window OptionsI LIVE IN TULSA OK AND NEED 24 REPLACEMENT WINDOWS. RENUAL BY ANDERSON GAVE ME A PRICE OF $51400 FOR THEIR FIBREX WINDOW. THATS COMPLETELY OUT OF MY BALL PARK. CAN YOU RECOMMEND A GOOD BRAND OF WINDOW FOR MY AREA THAT DOES NOT BREAK THE BANK? I AM LOOKING FOR A GOOD MIDDLE OF THE ROAD WINDOW AS MY HOUSE IS A MIDDLE INCOME HOUSE.
[Site Editor's Response]Hey Jim, I can absolutely recommend some brands that will be MUCH less than the RBA quote you received. Gerkin windows may be available in your area and they make very solid vinyl and aluminum windows.
Gerkin vs ProVia WindowsDane, I have been using your web page to help me better understand and choose replacement windows for my home. I am looking at Gerkin Comfort Series, ProVia Aeris, and Sunrise restoration. could you help me understand which one would be the best to go with. I live in Lincoln Nebraska.
[Site Editor's Response]Nick, if I were choosing in a vacuum (no consideration to window cost and quality of install), I would choose the Sunrise Restorations...
Gerkin Windows ReviewsIt's harder to find aluminum windows today, everyone is making vinyl. Gerkin makes a decent one. They don't have as many options as the vinyl ones do, but their windows have pretty low air infiltration rates, .01 to .04 depending on the window type. I like the sliders with a good sill support across the window. I also screw and shim the header to make sure there aren't any issues later.
Gerkin Aluminum WindowsI'm a Kansas home owner and I've been looking into Gerkin windows. They have a vinyl line that seems to be a mid to high end. They have some nice features, like Duraseal insulated glass and LowE glazing. They also produce aluminum windows, which most people aren't making these days. They have reinforced aluminum frames, which makes them fairly sturdy, and they seem pretty good. For the most part they seem to have pretty good products. [Update - 6 months after install]Six months ago I got them out in and they're really good. One screen was bent when they got here but they have good customer service. I like that a real person answers the phone when you call.
Gerkin vs Hayfield WindowsI've narrowed my window options down to Gerkins and Hayfields. I think the Hayfields are better, they have a better warranty and just seem sturdier and more sound, but the Gerkin has lower air infiltration numbers. I can't really decide, they seem to be more or less equal as far as quality and price both.
Gerkin vs Jeld Wen WindowsI'd wanted Marvins, but there isn't a dealer close by and they're probably too expensive anyway. I looked at the Jeld-Wen, which felt lightweight and less well made than a similar
Gorell. I then looked at Gerkins, and I think I'm going with them. Out of all I looked at, they are the best looking, sturdiest, and even have the best AI numbers. They're also cheaper than most of the others, although not by much.
Read more on Marvin windows reviews. Gerkins vs Milgard WindowsI've had some customers here in Arizona asking me if aluminum windows do well here. I think that thermally broken frames are a good option. Gerkin and Milgard both make them, and they have good products that they really stand behind. Either company would be a good choice.
Read more on Milgard windows reviews. Gerkin Vinyl Window ReviewsI've worked with Gerkins, and they're a solid product. They have good ratings and are made well. They don't have as many color and glass options as some lines, and they also take longer to order and deliver. Both their vinyl and aluminum window lines are a good choice for any home. Their prices are reasonable, too, which is a big deal to most people.
