Victoria, first off I love the choice of ProVia for all of your patio sliders, they are some (if not outright) of the best in the industry. I would probably stick with the Endure but that's because I like to stick with the same brand for the whole project. The other option that looks very tempting is the Unishield. I like this call assuming that the UWD has good reviews. Universal Windows Direct Reviews

Provia Doors Reviews
Many thanks again for your recommendation. I should have been more specific. Our TV room backs out to a deck and has a series of 3 French patio doors (single hung with transoms) as well as 6 windows with transoms that are the same size as the doors - see picture attached.
Got a quote for a Provia Heritage door with transom for $6,300 USD from the same contractor as the windows and as we have plenty of those to replace, wondering if you would recommend a specific manufacturer for those kind of doors?
The oversized windows with transoms (next to the doors and same size as doors) were quoted with Sunrise V4000 for 3,570 each, which seems ok, but still on the pricey side.
Many thanks.

Florian, both ProVia and Sunrise make a very good sliding door. The ProVia price sounds high, but the Sunrise windows cost (by comparison) sounds pretty reasonable. The only real way to know the market value is by collecting more quotes --

ProVia Doors Reviews
Hi Dane, I have two quotes - see below. I asked about the mid range Provia Aspect, but he said it would only be $35 less per window and he said if staying in the house (I am) that their Endure series is better.
I told him these were for new installation and I am not sure he remembered for the quote. He said he could get Endure for new installation but he said it should not be hard for my contractor to do necessary carpentry on the Polaris.
I am really torn on the color right now. I need windows that will look good with the siding and just brick alone (the tricky part). The brick is very rich terracotta, especially in the sun. So nothing too light. And even a tan or beige could possibly look too stark. I think sandstone or clay would be good. And both windows have those options, though they vary.
He likes the Endure but told me the Polaris is his most popular. He only sells Provia doors, says they are great. I need a new front door so it might be good if they match.
Let me know what you think of the windows and prices.
6 Polaris UltraWeld Windows $5315
6 ProVia Endure $4139
sizes 35 by 60

Penny, I have to say the ProVia for me is looking like the strongest bet here, especially because the doors and windows would be from the same company.

Provia Doors Price List 2022
Hello Tim, I live near Milwaukee WI and have 2 Patio doors 9’ and 6’ along with 11 double hung and 3 pictures.
I was looking at Provia Endure and today looked at Imperial Elite which I was told is as good as the Soft Lite elements windows.
I liked the Soft-Lite Kings Royal patio door I think better than the Provia. Live on a golf course so glass breakage is a concern.
Thoughts on Patio doors and window companies/ models?
Thanks so much! Do you have a provia doors price list 2022?

Deb, these are both excellent options. I would probably say that soft-Lite makes the better windows and ProVia makes the better doors, but they both make very good windows and doors. For me, I would turn my attention from the brands to the companies doing the actual install. At this point, that is going to be the biggest difference maker over which of these two excellent products are going into your home.
Unfortunately I have no Provia Doors price list for 2022 - that doesn't really exist.

ProVia Doors Reviews vs Window Nation
Dane, we are currently getting quotes for 7 standard size double hungs. My wife got a Window Nation cost quote for $7235, but I have no info on brand or model of window. She told me it was the most energy efficient of the 4 she was shown.
Her other estimate was from Belle Vernon entrance door and Window co. LLC for 7 windows and an Entrance door, all ProVia, for a total cost of $15,000. I believe the door was around $9000 and $6000 for the windows. I have no info on model number/name for the windows but the door is a 1/2 Somerset glass steel clad type.
We have another company coming to estimate 7 ProVia standard double hung, from Universal Windows direct.
Any info you may have to offer to better understand what we are considering would be most appreciated.

Joe, Window Nation carries some good windows and their premium model for about $7000 sounds about right from them. It seems to be current pricing in general (seems very high to me, but everyone is charging these prices nowadays). The ProVia for $6000 is a great deal -- I really like the ProVia Endure series and that is a very good price for that window -- assuming it's that window. Window Nation Reviews

Provia Doors Reviews And Quotes
Hi Dane, I got more estimates. To recap, I hope to sell my house in 2 years. I need to replace my patio door and I’m thinking that I should replace the old wooden windows with vinyl to upgrade my 40 year old house.
Summer seems to be their peak busy season. Do you think they have sales if I were to wait until fall or winter? When I search Restoration, the local Sunrise Restorantion dealer comes up with an expired 25% discount. That would be amazing but it’s hard to believe.
Here are the quotes I have gathered. I was most surprised by the Lowes Pella quote and I complained to the store manager. They’re investigating – they’re surprised at the difference too. The salesman essentially is quoting $400 installation fee per window. I’m a senior but I’m not senile.
I like the Sunrise and Provia doors with the rollers on top (the door is $3000)– but I don’t think that’s worth $500 more than the Okna. Do you agree?
The Okna guy said he would charge $2200 for the door if I buy the windows too. I I don’t know how to bargain with him on the windows since he has the best price, not considering Window World. I still have to read your article on how to negotiate with window salesman.
The Sunrise Vanguard guy said there’s not much difference between a Vanguard, Verde, and Restoration. I thought his price would be much lower but his installation charge is much higher, $700 for the door vs. $400 for the Verde supplier.
I’m leaning towards the Okna 500 deal.
Any thoughts?
Thanks for your kind helpfulness.

Joe, the best deal by far is the Okna 500. ProVia makes a good door and Sunrise makes a great window, but it's too expensive for your timeline. Okna Windows Reviews
However, even though you are moving in two years, its hard to say pay $9000 for the WW 4000 series when you can get a fantastic windows and a door for $11700. Probably very little wiggle room on that price I'm guessing, based on how close it is to the WW bids. Sounds like the Okna rep would drop the door price a couple of hundred so that puts you close to $11K. That's a pretty awesome deal.
Prices can go down after summer but it's more based on how busy the rep is than the actual season.

ProVia Patio Door Recommendations
Sealing up that door and where the window is we will open it up to have a sliding glass patio door installed. Your site is very helpful for the reviews. I was just wondering if you had any opinions or reviews on a decent patio door.
Im still researching as I would like to buy the door. Thank you !!

Mark, that looks like quite a project. I'll throw out a bunch of brands that make quality patio doors. Not all these will be available in your area, but I'm sure if you google "provia windows and doors in your city, state" for instance you will quickly find any local companies that carry these brands. I usually recommend getting quite a few bids when it comes to doors because there can be a big discrepancy based on whether the doors are custom sized or not.
Pro-Via, Jeld Wen, Sunrise, Soft-Lite, Okna, Andersen, Champion, Harvey, Larsen, Alpen HPP, Milgard, and Anlin. Lots of options here -- installation is an even more important consideration with a project like this so make sure to do your due diligence.
