6 are actually replacement and 6 are new. No siding needs to be removed or replaced on any of the windows at installation. We will be redoing all the trim and siding around the install.
[Website Editor Reply]I would say that price is expensive for 6 replacement windows and 6 new construction windows. I'd suggest collecting three additional bids. Once you collect the bids, we can make the decision from there.
Preservation Energymaxx Price QuoteHi Dane, I live in Charlotte, NC and the owner of EnergyStar Windows came out and quoted me for window replacement using Preservation windows. Similar to what I've read, he touted them as if they were the best windows you can possibly purchase. I was hoping you might be able to provide your opinion on the quote I received.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Ben. The Preservation Energymaxx 7 is a decent window, but he priced it out at roughly $740 per window. I could go down to Home Depot and buy an Andersen 100 series window (a comparable window in my opinion) for say $350 to $400 and then have a good installer do the work for say $150 per window. That puts me at $550 and Home Depot has made their mark up on the product in that sceneario. I would say his "cost comment" wasn't exactly truthful. I would get some additional bids so see. What is true is that prices have gone way up because of demand and supply chain issues.
Alside Preservation Windows ReviewDear Dane, just received a quote for 28 double hung windows, Alside, Preservation EnergyMaxx 7, triple pane. Pricing is at $762.00 installed, and manufacturers rep. claim this is and special deal (aren't they all?). Based on what I have read on your site this would still appear to be somewhat high, considering the amount of discount that he is supposedly providing to us (free install worth about 20% and 30% off window or a total discount of @50%). Total square footage for the windows is approximately 400sq. ft. Will look forward to your comments to my email address.
[Site Editor's Answer]John, I wouldn't say this is price is that out of line based on recent prices, which have been through the roof. I would agree that it's not low by any means. I guess my advice would be to collect a couple more bids to see if the bid is truly high in your area or is in line with what other manufacturers are charging. I'll send you my list for you to take a look at...

Preservation Windows QuoteHi Tim, I just got a quote (attached photo) for Preservation windows. (Preservationcollection.com) it's for 13 windows, two are sliders and the rest just regular double hung. For 13 I am quoted at 8866. And then we discussed other rooms like the sun room, which has 8 windows, that we discussed possibly as a phase 2.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Korey, the Preservation window is a pretty solid window. I wouldn't put it in the first tier of vinyl windows, but I would put in the second tier. $682 per window is definitely in the ballpark of what I'd expect. If this were my bid, I'd get a couple more quotes, hopefully a couple of lower ones, that I'd then ask if the Preservation installer could match the bid. Even if he can't it's very possible that he drops his bid.
Preservation Reserve WindowsWe need to replace 40 windows in our home. We ruled out Anderson because of the price. We were quoted the job using Preservation Reserve windows double pane. What”s your opinion about that companies’ quality?
[Site Editor's Answer]Iris, yes the Andersen (especially the Renewal series) can be quoted out very high. The Preservation is occasionally in that same boat, but not to the same extent. The Preservation is good upper end mid range vinyl window. If the price bid is fair, then I don’t see why you wouldn’t seriously consider the Preservation quote.
Alside Preservation vs. Sunrise ClassicI have bids from 2 installers, both of whom work for companies with good reputations and have been around for over 20 years. The bids are for 18 casements and 1 awning window and differ quite a bit in price. I was wondering which one you thought was the best to go with. Thanks in advance!
[Site Editor's Answer]Rod, I definitely think the Sunrise window is the way to go here. The Preservation window is a good one, but with the price quotes you have, the Sunrise is the better of the two.
AMI Preservation vs. Simonton VeronaCurrently debating between going with the AMI Preservation windows or the Simonton Verona Series for our older mobile home. I like the look and construction of the Preservation window more, but it's also quite a bit more expensive. We have 14 windows to replace.
[Website Editor Reply]Lorna, the Preservation window is the better window than the Verona, but not for the price you have. I'd rank your bids Simonton than Preservation right now.
Alside Preservation vs. Slocomb 677 SeriesDane..saw your website and wonder what you think: We have quote from Chas SC window company for Alside Preservation windows..$6650.00 installed. ( we would need to add Hurr Panels to this figure, about $2200).......as well we have quote from another company for 10 Hurricane strength Slocomb windows/ 677 Series, with wood color interior trim for $10,900....
[Site Editor's Answer]Carol, the Slocomb quote is just too high in my opinion. I think the Alside Preservation is a nice window and a decent value at the quote listed.
Alside Mezzo vs. PreservationsI have two bids, one from a company selling the Alside Mezzo and Preservations and the other selling Soft-Lite.
[Site Editor's Answer]Jan, I understand the worry about going out of business, but Soft-lite did weather the great recession just fine.
Preservation Windows vs SunriseMy wife set up an appointment with a company that sells Preservation windows. WOW - 2 hours of my life I'll never get back AND he made me miss my VFW meeting! In short, after all "discounts" he had to offer, just under $6800 for 4 installed windows ($1670 each). I'll board my windows up with foam & plywood before I buy a vinyl double hung for that price.
[Site Editor's Answer]I'm not sure I would say there is anything that can compete with the Sunrise from that list, but I do think the Andersen 100 composite window is a decent performer and quite a nice looking window. Beyond this I can't vouch for any of the other brands. I wouldn't think there is anything specific to the Sunrise that would pose an installation challenge above and beyond any other window. So if your contractor feels comfortable doing the window installation and you trust him, I would say go for it.
Preservation Windows PriceI just received a quote from a distributor for the Preservation window line. I'm wondering if this is a good window and what a fair price is? It's a top of the line vinyl frame with triple pane glass and krypton gas. The cost per window I got him down to was $815 for a double hung 36" by 50".
[Contractor Response]Preservation windows are from Alside. They market them as their exclusive high end window, but I would put them as a solid middle of the road window that is often sold for a high end price. That's a problem, the average person doesn't know that the Preservation isn't a top tier vinyl window like the best models from Sunrise or Polaris Windows. For that price you can probably get a truly outstanding window like a Marvin Infinity windows. This comes out to $65 per square foot, which is at the very top end of the price scale that we put on the Preservation series. You may want to get some additional bids for the sake of comparison.
Preservation Vinyl WindowsAlside Preservation has a bulky frame and snap in sill that I'm not a big fan of. If the decision is between the Preservation and the Sunrise standard window, I would not hesitate to go with the Sunrise. They make a nice durable vinyl window that looks nice and uses a more narrow frame. The Preservation is pretty similar in design and construction with the Alside Sheffield window, which is not the best build window in the business. Sunrise vinyl windows are going to be a better long term investement for you and your family in my opinion.
