Quaker Window Cost: $$$/$$$$
(3/4 out of 5)
Quaker Windows And Doors
The company sells both a residential line and luxury line of windows and doors. Their residential line up includes the Manchester (vinyl series), VuPoint (deluxe vinyl series), AdvantEdge (replacement vinyl), Brighton (wood series), TimberVu (deluxe wood series), and the CityVu (deluxe aluminum series). The doors are available in all of these series except for the VuPoint. The Quaker Quartz Luxury line up includes the CityLine (aluminum window series), Timberline (wood series), and EdgeLine (narrow aluminum series).
"Quaker is an interesting case in that they have local window dealers in many of the 48 contiguous states - but not a ton of dealers. They tend to be a bit of a specialty manufacturer."
Quaker Windows Warranty
The Quaker window warranty is not my favorite - by a lot. The company offers odd warranty terms that sort of break down each part of the window and/or patio door and how long the warranty term. So, for instance, the vinyl window frame is warranted for 20 years. The insulated glass for 20 years, hardware 10 years, stress cracks for 1 year, warping for 10 years, and laminates 10 years. Then it goes into all of the exclusions. Always read the warranty in full as terms and exclusions are often changing over time.

Quaker Manchester Windows Reviews
Manchester series is the company's most popular vinyl by quite a lot. In fact, I hear about this model from consumers asking for advice in nearly 90% of the time that Quaker comes up. A decent vinyl window, I think, given the right price point. I would give it a 7.0 out of 10 - it wouldn't make my top tier list, but perhaps my top 50 or 60 list.

Anlin vs Quaker
Dane, we recently have been collecting a number of bids, and like the hundreds of others, we’d love to get your opinion on what we have. The first is on the Quaker Manchester vinyl window series, and this came out to roughly $725 fully installed. we also have a bid on the Anlin Delmar series for $790 per window.
Finally, we have a bid on the Milgard Trinsic series and this was the cheapest at $695 per window. We have 21 windows in all that need to be changed out. Thanks in advance for your wonderful information and website.

[Site Editor's Answer]
Dottie, of the three series that you collected bids on my number one would be the Anlin Del Mar series. To be honest, I don’t hear enough about the Quaker Manchester to give an honest assessment. I think it’s a decent window, but I just don’t think that there’s any reason to take a chance on this option as that Del mar is such a solid window. Now, I do like the Trinsic series, but if you plan on being in your home for any length of time, I think the Delmar is the way to go.

Manchester Series Black On Black
Dane, as before, thank you for the input! I also received a quote for the Manchester black on black. Curious where you would place those against Sunrise Vanguard and NT from a quality perspective? NT Windows Reviews

[Site Editor's Answer]
John, I hear so little about Quaker -- I feel like the "feeling" I have about them is kinda meh -- and please notice that I said my feeling. I don't have the data and evidence to prove my "feeling" :) I will say this -- I would put a whole lot of cash down in Vegas on a bet that the Sunrise Vanguard is the superior window over the Quaker Manchester. (And I'm not much of a gambler...)

Casement Replacement Windows
I am recently widowed and in need to replace the windows on my 26 year old house. I have lived in it since it was built. It has wood windows and several have rotten sills. I have received three of the four quotes thus far and am trying to educate myself on the best option. If I could receive your list of your recommended good and great list I would appreciate it also.
15 double hungs, 1 large half round, 2 small half round, 2 casement windows, 2 sliding glass doors
I really wanted black exterior and black interior but I’ll be financing the purchase (I have $10,000 towards it) and I can’t seem to see the additional cost for black both outside and inside. Your review and recommendation of the brands I have obtained quotes on would be greatly appreciated. I have one outstanding quote for Provia Endure or Aspect series.
Alside Mezzo windows and doors $20, 445
White ext / white int +$6000 for black exterior
Quaker Manchester $23,919.66
Anderson 100 series doors 7,470.14
Black ext /black int
Vinyl Kraft 5300 $20,952
Black ext / white int +20,000 for black int

Cathy, I would prefer the ProVia Endure over anything on the board so far fyi. I think I would go with the VinylKraft 5300 series then the Alside Mezzo -- I really don't know enough about the Manchester to make a call on this selection. Let's find out what the Endure bid comes in at -- when they come out, I would basically give them the Alside Mezzo price and tell them point blank if they can match that, then you'll sign the work order that day. That would be an excellent window at a very competitive price. Vinyl Kraft Windows Reviews

Quaker vs. Viwinco
Hi Dane, I was wondering why you redacted the list from your answer that you gave marc (not expecting you to know what post) Anyways, could you share the list? I’m in St. Louis and looking to replace my windows. There is a Zen dealer here Quaker, Viwinco, Vinyl Kraft and I’m sure several others but I’m still doing my homework. Your list or personal suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you sir. Viwinco Windows Reviews

Chuck, I redacted the list to keep the search engines from hitting my site with duplicate content warnings. This is my list:

Manchester vs Crusader
Is there a particular reason why these guys haven't been included? Looked at your quaker windows reviews, but didn't shore it up for me. Where do they fit in the line up? Any pros/cons you are aware of? Any important difference between their Manchester and their Crusader series?
Milton - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor Reply]
Milton, there are hundreds of manufacturers and they have never entered our review boards. I'm not sure where they fit into the vinyl window equation. I will say that, in general, going with a manufacturer that is more well known, and proven to manufacture a quality product is a more reliable path to long term consumer satisfaction. That said, I really can't compare their models -- sorry about this. However, I did take a look at their double hung air infiltration and was impressed with the .03 that is listed on their website.
I would suggest comparing Quaker performance numbers with other brands you may be considering as a way to see how they stack up to the competition: U-factor, SHGC, DP, Air Infiltration, etc.
In Missouri, I know you have some great vinyl window options, including Sunrise, Zen, Champion and even Vista. I'm not saying don't go with Quaker, but I would get a couple more bids to at least have some options at your fingertips. Good luck! Champion Window Reviews

Opinions On Quaker
Have you done any Quaker windows reviews? I was perusing your website, but for some reason I didn't find anything. Love to hear back and thank you.
Kelly - Homeowner - from 2021
[Webite Editor's Answer]
I would start out and and check out the google reviews. Quaker gets a 3.5 out of 5 on 39 reviews. I'm not all that impressed by a 3.5, but I would read the reviews individually to get more specific information.

How Do The Compare To Zen
Hi Tim, we live in the St. Louis, MO area and are in the process of getting quotes for 7 replacements. We have the following sizes: (3) - 35 x 58 1/2, (2) - 63 x 58 1/2, (2) - 70 3/4 x 58 1/2. I've gotten quotes for the following:
Pella 250 Series
Quaker Advantage Edge E4 series
Zen using the Nirvana line
Is any one of those better than the other? Pella was the most at $10,000, Zen was about $5500 and so was the Quaker window. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. I did forget to mention that they are offering the Joyce Lotus at the same cost as the Nirvana line. Is this comparable? Thanks again.
Scott - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Reply]
Scott, I would definitely go with the Zen Nirvana, which is the Soft-Lite Classic window. This is going to be the better option in my opinion over the Pella window or the Quaker Advantage. I'm pretty sure that they use the Joyce Heritage Series for their Lotus model. The Heritage seems to be a good window, but Soft-Lite is the more proven window in that head to head. I don't quite have enough knowledge of the Joyce window to give you an opinion on the "upgrade." Replacement Window Costs

Quaker vs Soft-Lite
Hi Dane, sorry, but can I ask one more question? Got one more quote from a local installer for aluminum clad woods from Quaker. The quote is higher than the soft-lite quote, and I think the Soft-lite windows are probably a better option, but would love a third party perspective on aluminum clad and/or Quaker. Many thanks!
Michael - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Michael, I rarely hear about Quaker. What I've heard is generally good. They are a small manufacturer out of Missouri and there are just too many small manufacturers to track. For me, you always go with the manufacturer that you know over one you don't. The fact that the Soft-Lite price quote is lower makes this an easy decision. Soft-Lite is in my top three vinyl window manufacturers when it comes to quality and craftsmanship.
