Reliabilt 130 Windows Reviews-- Estimated Reliabilt 130 Price: $350 to $500 installed --
Reliabilt 130 Windows CostHi Dane, we have a lake house in Mt. Vernon, TX. It is a 2 story log cabin built in 1999 and has original builder grade windows. We want to replace all 18 windows, with vinyl, single hung, black exterior/white interior.
[Site Editor's Answer]Dori, the Burris TectView AC is a solid window and the cheapest bid -- but I'm not sure what the installation company -- who gave you this bid?
Reliabilt 130 Window SeriesFinally got the windows in last week, ordered April 19. Apparently, Atrium has no quality control system in place. There is silicone oozing from the glass to frame joint, silicone smeared on both panes of glass, silicone smeared on the vinyl frames. This is pitiful and if I could replace them with another brand in less than 110+ days it took to get them here, I would send them back. Really disappointed with Atrium and Lowes.
130 Reliabilt Windows In MaineHi, Please tell me where I can purchase these widows in southern maine. Lowes says the reliabilt windows are no longer available with a wood tone interior color.
[Site Editor's Answer]Anne, offhand, I don't know, sorry about that. I would reach out to Atrium, and see if they could provide you with a dealer in your local area. I thought they sold almost exclusively through Lowes, but maybe they have independent dealers as well.
Reliabilt 3201 Windows ReviewsThe ReliaBilt 3201 is an entry level double hung that is basically an updated Reliabilt 5600 window. The 3201 has a fully welded frame, a fusion welded sash, 3.25 inch jamb depth, a constant force balance, two cam locks and single strength glass. Nothing particularly impressive about this list of features. The window is sold through the big box stores and is often sold to Do It Yourselfers who are looking for a budget window.
Reliabilt 3201 Window CostMy husband and I have 11 old and draft windows that need to be replaced. Here are my bids, but I'm curious -- Is Reliabilt a good window?
[Site Editor's Answer]Brad, Reliabilt windows are a decent brand, but definitely not a top tier brand. I'd say that Sunrise Essentials series is your best bet. If you don't plan to be in the home very long, I'd go with the Window World 6000 Series. If this is your forever home, I'd go with the Sunrise Series. I hope this answer makes sense!
Reliabilt Windows from Lowe’sHello, we bought these windows from Lowe’s 4 years ago and we are now having issues with them. We was told buy Lowe’s that we have a life time warranty with them. They said we have to contact the manufacturer with any issues. My name is Sandra thank you!
[Site Editor's Answer]Sandra, sorry, I don't do any phone consultations. Can't the window department at Lowe's provide you with a contact at Reliabilt. Surely you are not the first Lowes customer to have an issue with a Reliabilt product! This is why the whole lifetime warranty tends to be a bit of b.s.
-- Estimated Reliabilt 3201 Price: $450 to $600 installed --
Reliabilt 3201 vs Great Lakes HarborlightDane, I have a couple of bids, one on a Reliabilt 3201 from Lowes. The other is the Great Lakes Harborlight from a local company. The Great Lakes option is going to be $3,000 more expensive.
[Site Editor's Answer]Ed, I would say go with the Great Lakes HarborLight option. I think it's worth the extra money for a better product and possibly better quality of installation.
Reliabilt 3201 vs. the Reliabilt 3900Dane, I'm looking for a good replacement window and I’m having a difficult time choosing one. I’m looking for something mid range. I have been looking at Lowe’s as my installer with reliabilt 3201 as the window. Do you have an overall opinion on the quality of this product? Is the 3900 a better option? How did CR rate them? I also received a quote from a company called Champions, the window seems like a better quality product but the quote was much more then Lowe’s. I live in Ohio so it’s very cold and very warm.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi Matt. There isn't much in Lowes that I would consider mid range, most of it is lower end stuff. Perhaps their very best is at the mid range level. Champion makes a good vinyl window, but I've seen their price quotes and they often feel a bit inflated to me.
Reliabilt 3200 vs Simonton 5050 I have quotes on the Simonton 5050 and the Reliabilit 3200. Which would be the better window? We're in North Carolina and are interested in a reasonably priced window
[Site Editor's Response]Steph, the Simonton 5050 and Reliabilt 3200 are relatively comparable. I might give the nod to the Simonton over the Reliabilt. Both are entry level replacement vinyl windows. If you are going to stick with these two windows, I would pivot to look at which installer is going to do the better job. Check online reviews and BBB, along with your own gut, to make a decision of who would do the better job.
Reliabilt 3201 Series vs Simonton Pro-FinishI have quotes for double hung windows—Reliabilt 3201 and Simonton 6100 Vantage Point. Consumer Reports gives ratings on the Simonton Pro-Finish Contractor.
[Site Editor's Response]Hi Michael, the Reliabilt 3201 and Simonton VantagePointe are pretty comparable windows. I would probably say the VantagePointe is the better of the two by a smidge. It probably won't matter which one you go with since they are so close in quality. I would try and suss out who is going to do the better job installing the windows and make this the deciding factor.
Reliabilt 3301 Windows Reviews-- Estimated Reliabilt 3301 Price: $400 to $550 installed --
Reliabilt 3301 WindowsI'm looking to replace my home windows on a shoe string budget. I don't need great windows because of the location and we have relatively mild winters where i live in central California. If I'm looking at Jeld Wen, Ply Gem, Milgard, and Reliabilt windows. Which one of these is the best?
[Contractor Response]Of the brands you mention, the Milgard and Ply Gem are the best. Reliabilt and Jeld Wen are at the bottom.
Reliabilt 3500 Windows Reviews-- Estimated Reliabilt 3500 Price: $450 to $600 installed --
Reliabilt 3500 vs. Window World 4000I have 16 windows to be replaced, I’ve had a couple estimates. Recently become a widow and it’s a bit overwhelming. Quotes received are
[Site Editor's Answer]Jenee, sorry for your recent loss. The Soft-Lite classic is the best window, but that's too much to pay. The $18,600 is obviously a much better price, but perhaps still too much to pay for that window.
Reliabilt 3500 Windows CostHi Dane, I completed info. on your site for a window project. I really liked the reviews of so many window types and your reasonable estimator. Honesty, the cheapest Reliabilt windows from Lowes for less than 200 per window would do me fine. Your estimate was like 4300 for 10 windows installed, that would be pretty reasonable for about 230 per window installation over the 200 cost per window.
[Site Editor's Answer]Rick, I have to be honest, that pricing calculator on my site hasn't been updated in over a year. (Inflation and supply chain issues have really done a number on prices...) The estimates you are getting from the actual companies, unfortunately, is more of the going rate. If you are retired, and on a pretty tight budget, I would suggest collecting as many bids as you can handle to see if you can find one that combines a quality window with a fair overall price.
Reliabilt 3500 vs. Alside MezzoHello. I’m struggling to make a decision and hoping you can help. I received a quote today from a company called Window Depot out of Tyler Texas. $6,297 total for 10 Alside Fusion windows. Another company that I have used for gutters, ABC seamless out of Quitman Texas is at $5,178 for the same windows. For the Alside Mezzo ABC seamless is at $4,510. Our home is 41 years old and has the original single pane with metal. We own the house, no one knows the future, plan to keep it in the family. We are on a budge but also want a good window. Can you help?
[Site Editor's Answer]PK, I personally wouldn't go with an Alside window if you are keeping the home long term. I just think there are too many long term issues with those windows. The Reliabilt 3500 series is a decent window, but that's too expensive for that window in my opinion.
Reliabilt 3500 vs 3900 PricesHi John, big fan of what you all have put together on the website. Thank you - it's very helpful.
[Site Editor's Answer]Derek, I'm not a fan of any of these quotes to be honest. Reliabilt doesn't make a quality enough window for me to recommend it. The Pella 250 is the best window of the bunch, but you really ought to get a couple more bids in my opinion. Just to see if there is some better quality options out there.
Reliabilt 3500 vs Simonton ProFinish WindowsI purchased a mobile estate and need to get 9 new single hung windows. Do they make specific windows for mobile estate? I have an estimate for single hungs with the Profinish Builder series. Are these a low end window?
[Site Editor's Response]Pam, there are really no specific windows made to handle mobile homes. The Simonton ProFinish windows comes as the Master, Contractor, and Builder. Yes, the Builder model is the lower end series.
Reliabilt 3500 Window ReviewWhat do you think of this window? When we talked to Lowes they only had good things to say and even felt it was better choice over Pella because of the price. After reading some of your reviews I am a little nervous. We have ask Window World to give us a price but their reviews are horrible and they can't seem to tell what brand they sell.
[Site Editor's Response]Hi Terry, I think you are right not to go with Window World, their vinyl windows are just not very good. Reliabilt makes a decent low to mid end vinyl window and for the price, I think they offer a good product. Their 3500 series is their "premium" vinyl window and again it's decent.
Reliabilt 3900 Windows ReviewsThe Reliabilt 3900 window is a popular model at Lowes. The Reliabilt brand is manufactured by Atrium Doors & Windows and then relabeled. The 3900 model is the company's premium model and is a decent mid range vinyl window. Consumers can expect a 3.25" frame depth, a half screen, double pane glass, constant force balancing, a single cam lock, and double ventilation latches. I would give the Reliabilt 3900 Series Window a out of 5 stars rating.
-- Estimated Reliabilt 3900 Price: $500 to $650 installed --
Reliabilt 3900 Series vs. Wincore 5400Hello, I need to replace around 30+ windows . Some are triple and some are double and some are single.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hey Sam, so I would say the Wincore 5400 series window is better than the Reliabilt 3900 window -- not by much, but as the less expensive bid, that's quite nice. There are some decent options in and around Atlanta.
Reliabilt 3900 vs. Pella 250I have quotes to replace 6 double hungs, 1 picture / bay window, and 1 small picture window. + 1 picture - small 19x19):
Reliabilt Windows BidWe have bought our first “old house” in Sapulpa, OK. A 117 year old home with 20+ windows in it, most of which have been replaced at various stages throughout the years, but only a very few recently. There are also various sizes, with several most likely needing to be special ordered.
[Site Editor's Answer]Richard, Renewal bids are often disheartening. Reliabilt makes a decent window, but there are much better windows out there. My suggestion is to take a look at my list...
Reliabilt 3900 Price QuoteHi Dane - I am here in Massachusetts. There is a local / regional(?) manufacturer in Chicopee MA called National Vinyl.
[Site Editor's Answer]Adam, I have never heard of National Vinyl. There are lots of good local manufacturers, but I wouldn't spend my hard earned money unless I knew a number of people who had used their windows and been happy with the performance. Only then would I feel comfortable going in that direction. If these were my bids, I'd go with the Simonton 6100 series, although I would do a review of the company doing the actual install and make sure they had solid reviews. So goes for the National Vinyl.
Lowes Reliabilt 3900 SeriesHi Dane,
[Site Editor's Answer]That's a steep price tag for a Reliabilt 3900. Not a bad window, but there are much better deals out there. Where do you live, I can make some recommendations.
Reliabilt 3900 Series vs. CastleWe are going to replace 2 double hunts and 8 casement windows on a wood shingled house. The windows we have are pretty leaky, the original ones I think.
[Site Editor's Answer]Kenny, I have a pretty low opinion of United and Reliabilt. Castle is a bit better, but they are a mid range window in general. If you are really budget conscious, then the Reliaiblt 3900 with quality installation is probably an okay option. The problem is the quality of installation from a place like Lowes. They often pay their subcontractors a low per window rate that promotes a fast approach, but not necessarily a quality approach.
[Kenny's Reply]Thank you thank, you thank you, Tim. I'll go back and revisit your website for windows. There's a local company here call M&M Carpentry. They enlarged garage doors from 8 to 9 feet wide, added new doors, added a side door and all looks like. I've seen them do vinyl side and windows also. So they will be doing the installation.
[Site Editor's Answer]If you have an installer that you trust, then I'm a bit more inclined to see the Big Box store option as viable. The Reliabilt 3900 is definitely one of the best series sold by Lowes. I think it's worth another visit over there (as well as HD) to pick the brains of the guys who work in the window department.
Reliabilt Window 3900 vs. Ply Gem Pro SeriesHello, could you give me your opinion on the Reliabilt Window 3900 from Lowe's Hardware?
[Site Editor's Answer]Allan, the Reliabilt 3900 is their top end window, so a mid range vinyl series overall. It's comparable to a Ply Gem Pro, although I would take the Pro over the 3900 series. Neither is a top tier window though.
Reliabilt 3900 Or Pella 250 SeriesI have an estimate for both the Pella 250 and Reliabilt 3900. Which window is better
[Site Editor's Answer]Trix, these two are close in quality. I think the Pella 250 is a bit better than the Reliabilt 3900. Take a look here to see our Best Entry Level Vinyl Series.
Reliabilt 3900 Window or United 4800Hi Dane, I'm interested in the UNITED 4800 PLUS or the Reliabilt 3900 replacement vinyl windows. I would appreciate your thoughts and opinion. Thank you.
[Site Editor's Answer]Hi John, I have to tell you that both of the selections you are asking about are considered builder grade windows, that is a lower cost lower quality window. Interestingly, when I looked at the Reliabilt, which is the better window in this scenario, I found the Reliabilt 3900 window cost to be roughly $440 just for the window itself - from Lowes. For this price (and assuming $125 for installation), you could buy a much better window in my opinion.
Reliabilt 3900 Window ReviewHi, which Reliability window looks the best and has the best price other than the 3900 series?
[Site Editor's Response]Julia, To the best of my knowledge, the 3900 from Reliabilt is the top of the line from the company and would include more of the features that consumers often tihnk of in terms of "best looking."
General Reliabilt Windows ReviewsReliabilt Windows vs. MarvinI am presently getting estimates on double hung vinyl windows for 5 windows. Just had estimates from Marvin and Reliabilt from Lowes. Home Depot is coming out in an hour. After reading the Reliabilt reviews, we’re leaning to Marvin about $2000 more. Please send your list of window replacements. Reviewing Simonton, Marvin, Pella and and Anderson.
[Site Editor's Answer]Geraldine, Reliabilt is a lower end vinyl window in my opinion. The Marvin is the much better window, but I think there might be something in between. A premium Simonton is a nice option. Andersen will probably be quite a bit more.
Reliabilt Window ComplaintI’m installing windows for a lady that got them from owes they are reliabilt windows she ordered 6 windows that came in October of 21 I had shoulder surgery so she waited for me to heal before installing them so we put them in out of the weather they were wrapped up still when I was installing them I noticed that almost every one of them weren’t straight had warped the side rails.
Were in and out towards the glass I could straighten them up but it made them hard to open and close and the frames were flemsey and wobbly I’m sending you a picture of what I’m talking about I told her that I would take them back or ask for a discount the six windows cost her nearly $2000 dollars if you look between the level and side you can see the gap’s a couple of them were close to a quarter inch.
[Site Editor's Answer]Steve, thanks for the heads up and I'm sorry you are having these issues. I sure hope they take back this obviously defective batch of windows.
Reliabilt Windows Lowes CostHi Dane, thanks for sending me the window list and for all the info on your website. I've got quotes from several vendors and am trying to decide. I have decided against Lowes because of bad reviews on the Reliabilt windows. Window World seems expensive for low level windows. Renewal by Anderson is way too expensive. I would like the Fortis installation but it is too expensive for me. A little leary about the Zen Window installer because he never came out to my place and only goes through email and has had to adjust the quote several times because of him putting wrong info. Not that interested in Georgetown because of it being an entry level window. Any thoughts?
[Site Editor's Answer]Pat, I agree with your assessment on all points. I will say this -- Kelly Window & Door has amazing reviews from the very little research I did on the company. The Georgetown is not a bad window at all -- it's just not in my top 20. But it looks like the company sells Sunrise windows (according to their website), which are great. Are they no longer selling this? This is where I would spend my time trying to find out what they sell, the lead time on each product, and how low they will sell you the Sunrise for. See if they will sell you the Sunrise for that same price as the Georgetown.
Reliabilt vs. Ply Gem and MilgardHi! I need to replace our patio door. Contractor is pushing Reliabilt and now Ply-Gem doors. I read your comments on Reliabilt. What abiut these other 2? PLY-GEM and Milgard. I live nirth of San Francisco. Thanks!
[Site Editor's Answer]Maria, I would rate Ply Gem and Milgard above Reliabilt (or really Atrium). The other two brands I like on the West Coast are Anlin and Amerimax, plus maybe a high end Simonton model like the Reflections 5500 series. I think the better series from Ply Gem and Milgard though are quality products.
Reliabilt In Galveston TexasDane, I am looking through the Galveston and TX window codes and see that my area needs a DP rating of 75 or withstand 130 mph - 3 sec gusts. The 75 DP is confusing me because the latter 130 mph 3 sec gusts correlates to a DP of about 45. Can you help clarify this?
[Site Editor's Answer]Michael, I don’t know the codes from every county so I wouldn’t want to speak out of turn. The best way to resolve this in my opinion is to reach out to some local window dealers. Get a couple of free bids (even if you are going to buy the window yourself) and basically grill them for information. DP45 sounds about right to me. The local guys will have these answers on lock as they deal with them everyday when they go out to give bids for project in and around your area.
Reliabilt Windows From Home DepotDear Sir, I wish to replace (rather than refurbish) 3, 60-year old, six-by-six single sash windows in my unheated garage in SE PA. The windows appear to be held in place with four pieces of 1/2 inch molding and a wooden block at the top sash.
[Site Editor's Answer]Dennis, for a garage project you don't have to buy a great window. I would go with something nice and sturdy as viewing area is unimportant. You want something that is going to last. A couple of options.
Reliabilt Windows ComplaintsI purchased the casement replacement windows in 2015 for my whole house. I have an issue with one of the windows not closing all the way so I called Lowe’s to find out who could help me. They gave me the Number to an outside company. I contacted them only to be asked all kinds of questions, i.e. warranty # on my windows, pictures of the problem, a video of what the window was doing. They were all sent only to be asked my address to she could send me a video and a tool on how to fix my window. REALLY????
[Site Editor's Answer]Kathie, sorry for your troubles, that really sucks!
Reliabilt Windows ReviewDane, Hello, my name is Bernard.
[Site Editor's Answer]Bernard, the short answer is -- I don't know what options Reliabilt offers. It's possible you may be able to buy muntins that you could apply to the existing window that would serve the purpose for the historical society. This would be the cheapest option and you could probably have a local handyman do it.
Do It Yourself OptionsDane, thanks for the response. I was hoping to see a bit more of price breakdowns, and am particularly interested in installing the windows myself. I'm currently under orders from the city of Minneapolis to do a large amount of lead abatement, and I therefore must either go through their certified list of approved contractors (a certification in addition to the national EPA certification) or do it myself.
[Site Editor's Response]Drew, I can't give you more of a price breakdown because there are so many factors that go into how windows are priced out…lots of features, upgrades, installation requirements etc.
Reliabilt And Simonton At Home DepotWe live in Plano, TX and need a good but affordable brand of windows, maybe even from Home Depot.
[Site Editor's Response]Drew, there are some okay windows at Home Depot, including Simonton and Reliabilt. The installation from there is a bit touch and go because they often pay their subcontractors a low hourly rate. I might find a local installer with good reviews on angies list or yelp.
Lowe's Reliabilt WindowsI bought 20 Reliabilt replacements windows thru Lowe's in 2003. I have 4 of those windows that have cloudy panes due to faulty seals. I just sent a claim through a class action suit regarding this damage. I have been unable to resolve this thru Lowe's.
