Great American Exteriors
Great American Exteriors is Elmhurst, Illinois based home improvement company that has been in business since 1987. The company provides a number of home improvement services, including windows, doors, vinyl siding, decks, and concrete installation. Generally the company receives decent online reviews (4.3 and 4.4 were the two big online review sites that I saw). Scroll down to read all of our Great American Exteriors reviews.
My Take On This Company: To be honest, there's not all that much here to really get excited about for me. Okay reviews and windows that I've never heard of. However, the company might sell a relabeled Lindsay Window, but have 't been able to confirm with the company. Perhaps I'll wait for some actual consumer reviews to come through our site before I say much more than this.

What They Sell
The company sells vinyl, fiberglass and wood windows and doors. In terms of brands, GAE sells Havington Windows, which I had honestly not heard of prior to this. While I did google this window brand, nothing really came up (except for Great American Exteriors). This is a bit of a red flag for me, but perhaps they are made by a reputable company and relabeled for GAE. However, I have heard that these are relabeled Lindsay Windows, but have not been able to confirm (although I did reach out to the company itself).
Warranty Information
The company offers a non prorated lifetime labor warranty that may be transferred to one additional homeowner. Additionally, there are no service call fees as with some installation companies. Finally, the company offers free glass replacement (3x per window) - I’ve actually never heard of this before so that is very cool.
The product warranty on the actual windows and doors will come from the manufacturer (not the installation company). Therefore, before you decide on a brand, it’s a good idea to always read the manufacturer’s warranty and check the terms, provisions, and exclusions.

[Site Editor's Answer]
My advice here is to go with Scientific Home Services - $5.8K (selling Soft Lite windows). So this is your lowest bid and this is the brand that I like the most. Easy choice here for me.
