Lindsay Pinnacle Cost: $$$
Lindsay Window SeriesThe company manufactures and sells the following window series: the Pinnacle, Healthy, CrownView, SunView, and the ClimateSmart. In general, I'd say the company manufactures several quality window series. The Pinnacle series is their most widely known and sold window and it's a solid buy at the right price point. The CrownView is the company's drop down window and also one I would recommend if the price is right. "I don't hear all that much about Lindsay Window And Door, but their Pinnacle series always seems to be well priced and well thought of by industry people." Lindsay Windows WarrantyThe company has a separate warranty on each of their products so that makes it pretty difficult to sum up the provisions, inclusions, and exclusions. Therefore, I thought I'd sum up the Pinnacle series, which is the most popular of their vinyl windows. Limited lifetime warranty on the frame, sash, hardware, and the insulated glass units.
Quick Links
Lindsay Pinnacle Windows ReviewsThe Lindsay Pinnacle Window is the company's premium series and the one I hear about the most. The Pinnacle (great name, unless some of the company's line up) is a high performing window that is definitely worth a bid. I would rate the Pinnacle an 8.3 out of 10.
Pinnacle Series vs Sunrise V4000Hey, so this is where I am...
[Site Editor's Answer]Brian, I know there have been concerns with Sunrise lately and I think with good reason based on the “new” ownership. However, I’ve looked at the literature of the Sunrise V4000 series, which was the Sunrise Vanguard series, and the performance numbers look identical to me. Now, I believe they’ve kept that window the same, which is to say a very high quality unit.
Pinnacle Cost vs. Alside MezzoI’d like your feedback on the following bids for 12 double hung vinyl insert windows for my house in the NW Chicago suburbs:
[Site Editor's Answer]Randy, I’d rank those bids in terms of overall cost value as Lindsay Pinnacle, Simonton 6500, then Alside Mezzo. The Pinnacle is a good window and if you plan on being in your home long term, this would be the option I would suggest. If you are going to be in the home 10 years or less, then I would suggest the Simonton option.
Full Frame Replacement WindowsDane, hi, we have need of 12 full frame replacement windows and have narrowed our search down to two bids. One is on the Lindsay Pinnacle window for $12600, and the other is for the ProVia Endure for $12,300.
[Site Editor's Answer]Nancy, the Lindsay Pinnacle and ProVia Endure and are both good vinyl windows. I'd pick the ProVia Endure myself, unless I felt like the company installing the Lindsay was going to do a much better job.
Pinnacle Replacement CostWe are replacing all the windows in our 1956 brick ranch with vinyl windows. Here are the rough specs for our project: 1 picture window with double-hung on each side, 1 smaller picture window, 3 twin double-hung, 6 double-hung (different sizes).
[Site Editor's Answer]Julie, I'm going to say you have 15 windows -- I counted the double hungs as two each and 2 for the top combination window. I would contend that paying $890 for a Lindsay Pinnacle or a Pella 250 series is WAY TOO MUCH. I would say that the Lindsay Pinnacle is a decent enough window, let's call it mid range. The Pella 250 is essentially the company's low end vinyl window. Paying above say $600 for either of these windows strikes me as excessive and that is if there are some installation intricacies involved.
Lindsay Healthy Windows ReviewsThe Lindsay Healthy Window is the company's drop down series below the Pinnacle. The Healthy (one of the weirder names in the industry) is still a high performing window based on 70 years of craftsmanship. I would rate the Healthy a 7.5 out of 10.
Healthy Series vs ProViaDane- I have used your site extensively. I especially like the area that breaks down information by window brands. Here's where I am currently, we are looking to replace the only window in our home that hasn't been replaced. Maybe 10 years ago we replaced all of our double hung windows with SunRise windows from an area window company (Bob's Windows). We are now looking to replace our very large (121 X 65 per their measurements), bow window.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Sue, the V4500 series is the Sunrise "Classic" or Standard. It's a very good vinyl window, it simply lacks a few nice bells and whistles that come standard on the V4550 (Vanguard) and the V5500 (Restorations). I don't think its necessary to upgrade to the Restorations if your budget is tight. I definitely like the Restorations series more, but the V4500 is still quite good.
Lindsay Windows Reviews :: Pacific SeriesPacific Series vs ChampionHi Dane, I found you on the website. I would like to have your advice for the window's bid I've got. My house was built in 1992. It has been 30 years, but it is still good. One of the windows has fog in the middle of the two panes. Some window sills have some water marks. I have a total of 21 windows. 5 of them are picture windows. 16 of them are sliders.
[Website Editor Reply]Anna, I think in this case the Alside Preservation would be my pick from a value perspective. It's a good window when installed correctly. Make sure the Apex dealer/installer has a good reputation though. Setzer Construction also seems to get good reviews, but I don't know enough about either window they carry to really endorse one or the other.
[Anna's Reply]Hi Dane, thanks so much for your quick reply and your lindsay windows reviews. I forgot to tell you that the Alside window that Apex carries is triple pane. Apex windows carries triple pane only. Do you think it is too much for a regular house for a triple pane? Are there any advantage or disadvantage of a triple pane window over a double pane?
[Website Editor Reply]Anna, I think the triple pane is a nice option that definitely helps with energy efficiency and sound control. Triple pane does mean there are more parts to fail, but the window they sell is a quality product. As to the quality of their installation, that I couldn't say. Apex Energy Solutions out of Seattle WA gets very good reviews, but I'm not sure if this is the same branch.
How To Measure Windows For ReplacementThanks for the reply! I'm really struggling to find measurements of the daylight opening vs the full width of the windows. I'm looking for for something that is no more than 2" measuring left-to-right from the inside of the pocket to where the glass starts. Do you have any model suggestions? The previous owners of our home replaced with Lindsay vinyls that have that narrow of a frame. Though from what I've read, Lindsay is not a great company.
[Website Editor Reply]Wendy, the best way to go about this is to visit our page How To Measure Windows For Replacement There will be loads of information and videos showing you exactly how to measure.
Lindsay Comfort Series ReviewsComfort Series ReviewsThanks Dane - I've attached the spec sheet for the Lindsay Comfort window and here is the spec for Monte Verde windows here Monte Verde performance data Can you give a look to see if they're comparable? Greatly appreciated is you could reply today as I'm close to signing with Brothers.
[Site Editor's Answer]Sorry Chris, I took yesterday off for memorial day. I think I missed your timeline. Yes I would say these two are comparable -- plus, Brother Home Improvements gets very solid reviews so I would think you are in good hands! Brother Home Improvements Reviews
Lindsay Comfort SeriesHello Dane, I'm looking to replace three windows in the Seattle, WA area. Two basement and one kitchen (swap out of an old garden type window with a single hung window.) Any preference or thoughts on the Lindsay Comfort Series, Milgard Trinsic Series, and the Ply Gem Pro series. Appreciate your help and suggestions. Thank You.
[Website Editor Reply]Steven, honestly, the three options you mention: the Lindsay Comfort, Milgard Trinsic, and Ply Gem Pro are very similar in quality to one another. If this were my project, I would generally rate the products similar and therefore turn my focus to the company doing the installation. But I would also suggest reading our lindsay windows reviews page for info from other consumers. Look for reputation, time in business, and online reviews as the metrics by which to judge which company will provide the best job, warranty, etc. If you put my feet to the fire though, I would rate them in this order: Milgard Trinsic, Lindsay Comfort Series, Ply Gem Pro.
[Steven's Reply]Thank you for your response. I'm pretty much sold on Einar Johanson. Would the price be the same as the one you quoted if we go with the Milgard Trinsic series? Thanks again for your help.
[Website Editor Reply]Steven, the reviews on Einar Johanson looked great! I don't think I ever quoted you any prices on the Milgard Trinsic. I do like the Milgard Trinsic series though, very nice looking. Good luck on your upcoming project!
Lindsay Windows Reviews :: Crownview SeriesLindsay vs MilgardWe are replacing eight vinyl windows here in Seattle. We have received a bid on the Lindsay 1100 series. Four of the sliders are quite large (96 x 42) and the rest are normal sized. We have a ton of extra work that needs to happen to the frame so the bids are high. The bid is from Procraft Windows and Doors. They sell both Milgard Tuscany and Lindsay.
Crownview WindowsHi Dane, I'm looking to replace 15 double hungs in various sizes. The caveat here is that I don't want to spend a lot on them, as I'm selling the house. I was quoted on Lindsay Crownview windows, which I believe is their budget vinyl windows. However, I couldn't find any of the ratings on these, and wanted to know if they are decent for the price. I've been quoted $9800 for them. Since I'm moving I don't want to make a huge investment, but I don't want to install junk windows. Thanks for your insight.
[Website Editor Reply]Lisa, Lindsay seems like a solid enough brand. I think you're right about the Crownview being their entry level window. Spending $650 on an entry level series is a quite a bit. You should be able to have Window World come in and put in a window for $350 if you're moving (not that I'm necessarily advocating this...)
[Lisa's Reply]Hi Dane, thanks so much for your response and all of your hard work on the page on lindsay windows reviews. I haven't heard of OKNA before, but I will look them up. I did get comparison quotes and because I'm not an expert on windows, most of the quotes were more than double the one I received on the Lindsay Crownview windows.
Lindsay Lexington Series ReviewsLindsay Lexington vs. WalshDane, Thank you for all of your help. Here are the final results from which I will need to make a decision. I was able to get 3 more quotes and some information on the Walsh Windows. The brand I was quoted on has a U-factor of 0.20, SHGC or 0.24, VT of 0.39, condensation Resistance of 74 and Air Leakage of <=0.3 - from the NFRC Website. gain this cost was quoted at about $13,500.
[Site Editor's Answer]If the choice is between Lindsay and Walsh, I would go with the Walsh. I have heard a bit more about them then Lindsay. The Walsh Tundra seems to be a good window, but again, I don't know a ton about either one.
Lindsay vs SunriseIs anyone familiar with Lindsay windows? I have a 1950 bungalow and so far have had a few contractors give me bids on replacement window. So far, the brands they use are Sunrise, Thermal Industries and Lindsay. I like the price bid on the Lindsay, and how they look, but I've never heard of them so I wanted to try and get an idea as to quality. So just trying to get some idea as to how they match up to these other brands.
[Contractor's Response]Lindsay Windows aren't bad in any way, but they are not going to be in the same class as the Sunrise windows, which are some of the better or best vinyl windows on the market. I've installed Lindseys on a few jobs and they are a decent option. I couldn't say how they compare to Thermal Industries, which I have no knowledge of.
Lindsay vs Pella WindowsI have a bunch of bids on 22 windows, all different shapes and sizes, although most of them are double hung.
[Contractor's Response]The Lindsay's performance numbers are decent, not bad, kind of right in that mid range vinyl window space. You are right, the price you were quoted on the Marvin Integrity is very good. I would either go with this one or the Sunrise myself. If these are out of your range, then my choice would be the Lindsay, which it sounds like it is. I think one of these three options is your best bet.
3100 vs Alside Excalibur SeriesI'm replacing 10 windows with vinyl double-hungs. I've had 3 local companies come out to provide me quotes so far that included Alside Excalibur, Lindsay 3100, and Silverline 8500. All of the quotes were very similar in price. Which is the best?
[Contractor's Response]Of the three windows you mentioned, I'd have to say the Lindsay would be my choice. I'm not familiar per se with the 3100 model so I can't speak to this directly. Having said that, I'm giving the nod to the Lindsay because I really don't like the Alside Excalibur or the Silverline 8500 for homeowners who are looking to maximize their long term value. Please read our lindsay windows reviews for more consumer opinions. You may want to get a couple more bids and see what other window brands are available in your area. Silverline Windows Reviews
