Mathews Brothers Windows And Doors

Mathews Brothers is a Maine based window manufacturer that has been in business since 1854 (making it the oldest window manufacturer in the United States). The company sells and installs two main vinyl window series that they sell through local companies as well as lumberyards (like Menards) throughout the northeast. While I don't hear all that much about these guys, they do have one of the best taglines in the industry -- wicked, awesome windows -- how great is that? Scroll down to read all of our Mathews Brothers windows reviews.

Overall Rating: Mathews Brothers Windows gets a 4.0 out of 5 stars based on 5 consumer reviews below.

My Take On This Company: How good are Matthew Brothers replacement windows? So far, not a strong opinion one way or the other, but this certainly could change with time. Probably worth it to grab a bid - if for no other reason than a comparison data point. Send me the bid and I'll check it out!

What They Sell

Mathews Brothers manufactures and sells two main window series, which includes the Spencer Walcott vinyl window (the more entry level window) and the Sanford Hills vinyl window (their upgraded option). I have taken a look at both of these rather extensive brochures on the company website, but I wasn't able to really discern how these two window series differed.

Truthfully, I much prefer when the company tells you their line up and then does a brief description of how their window series differ from one another. Listed on the website (bottom of the page) is also listed Enviro Sealed windows, but I wasn't able to find any other mention of these on the website.

Mathews Brothers Windows Warranty

The company's warranty is a limited lifetime warranty for the lifetime of the original buyer. Specifically, that the windows are free from any manufacturing defects. The company covers any labor costs for the original buyer to either replace or repair the windows due to any manufacturing defects. As always, exclusions do apply (so always read the warranty before purchasing!). The warranty is transferrable, but will only cover the subsequent buyer for 20 years from the date of purchase. The warranty on their doors is 20 years manufacturing defect free. The product warranty on either the Spencer Walcott or Sanford Hills vinyl windows comes from the manufacturers themselves. You can read up on the window warranty using the links in the previous section. All in all, a pretty standard window and door warranty when compared to other manufacturers in the window and door space.

Are Matthews Brothers Windows Any Good

Recently started shopping for replacement windows (16) and slider doors (2). I’ve gotten bids that seem really expensive. I’m having an affordability crisis that I’m beginning to think is not necessary. Matthew’s Brothers quotes us out at $20K while a local Joyce dealer gave us a quote of $17.9K for their high end vinyl window. Which is the better deal in your professional estimation?

Phyllis, in terms of the windows themselves, I would go with the Joyce windows over the Matthew’s Brothers - for a few reasons. One, the Joyce is the better brand overall. Two, the bid is lower. Three, I’m more familiar with Joyce through all of the windows and reviews that I see from Zen Windows.

The only unknown here is the quality of work that you can expect from the local dealer who is doing the installation. So as long as you feel comfortable with the company doing the work, then I’d go with the Joyce windows option.

Matthews Brothers vs Marvin Fiberglass Windows

I’ve received two replacement window estimates on 4 medium sized windows that are priced exactly the same at $4,000. The first quote is on the Marvin Essential Collection (fiberglass, argon gas fills, custom black frame). Second quote is from Matthews Brothers on the Sanford Hill vinyl windows, (black frame, dual-pane, argon-filled). Basically the same windows except one is fiberglass and the other is vinyl.

How much does that interior material actually matter? And overall, is one manufacturer considered superior to the other? Thanks in advance for any insight you might have between these two options.

Patti, there's going to be a pretty big difference between these two windows. Fiberglass is typically thought of as the much stronger and durable material (I'm not sure I agree with with statement when it comes to high quality vinyl windows, but it's certainly the case with mid range and cheap vinyl windows). Additionally, fiberglass windows cost are typically 40% more than vinyl so the fact that these two bids are the same tells me that the Matthews Brothers is too high.

My basic answer is that the Marvin Essential Collection is the much better option here over the Matthews Brothers Sanford Hill vinyl window.

Maine Replacement Windows

Hello, I've referenced your site quite a bit during my research of new construction windows. I know you typically recommend Okna and SoftLite but any thoughts or feedback on Mathews Brothers? They are a local manufacturer in this area, NH and ME but I haven't heard much about their products. A big seller for mid range vinyl in this area is Harvey – who also makes SoftLite Windows. Thank you.

Tony, I really don't know anything about Mathews Brothers Windows. I tried to look at online reviews and ratings, but I didn't find all that much -- or I should say that it was unclear if I was getting reviews for the right company. I do like Harvey Windows if the price point is right -- and yes I like Soft-Lite windows. [Email dane@replacementwindowsreviews.co for his recommendations]

Hi Dane, thank you for the quick and detailed reply. I really like the Okna windows and had a local company, Morgan Exteriors, provide a quote a couple years ago. I thought it was pretty high at the time. Although I want a new construction window install not a replacement window so I realize that will jack up the total cost.

I will most likely have the Okna 500 and Harvey Classic quoted by a few local contractors, including Morgan Exteriors and I will send them your way for feedback. I’m looking for a window that is more % glass than frame but still solid/ tight to replace the original Rivco’s that are 22 years old. Thanks again!

Rhode Island Replacement Window Options

Hey guys. So we're looking to replace our old Pella wood windows where the sashes are all rotting out). Interested if you have any recommendations for here in Rhode Island on quality vinyl windows.

Currently, we are considering the American Craftsman, Paradigm windows, and the Mathews Brothers. However, I had no idea if we were missing out on something that we ought to be considering. Thank you so much for your time and I'm glad to have found you -- was looking for Mathews Brothers Windows Reviews and there you were.

Ellen - Homeowner - from 2021

[Site Editor's Answer]

Ellen, here is what I would suggest. Get a bid from Paradigm and from Mathews Brothers - Paradigm Windows is the preferred option here. Personally, I wouldn't look at American Craftsman as they are a poor quality vinyl window. Additionally, I will send you my list of window brands to also consider. Try and get 4 price quotes and then let's circle back and see what you've come up with and go get you the best deal possible. Cheers.
