Therma Tru Door Cost vs ProVia
| Window Option | Total Quote Installed | Reported / Estimated Cost | Editor's Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Window World 4000 Series With Solar Shield Package | Around $15,000 | Approximately $536 Per Window Across 28 Windows | Low Price, But Not Recommended |
| Restorations windows | $27,000 | Approximately $964 Per Window Across 28 Windows | Good Window, But Bid Seems High |
| Sunrise Windows With 12 Layer Coating Package | Over $34,000 | $1,336 Each | Clear Winner |
| Door Option | Total Quote Installed | Price Difference | Editor's Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Therma Tru Door Through Window World | $5,250 | $2,682 Less | Lower Price, But Dealer Not Recommended |
| ProVia Steel Door Through Sunrise Installer | $7,932 | $2,682 More | Bid May Be High - Get Another Comparison |
Pricing Note: The homeowner's window proposals include a mix of picture, single-hung, and double-hung windows, so the per-window figures should be viewed as rough project averages. The two patio door quotes are listed separately because they are different from the window portion of the project.
"I am needing some advice when it comes to windows. I am in the process of receiving quotes. Should have a total of 5 by the end of the day. The suppliers are Window World, Sunrise (& restorations), Universal Windows Direct and Champion.
I am going to replace most of my windows (28 in total – 8 will be picture windows, rest will be either single or double hung). 15 of these windows, get full west sun. 6 of these will be upper level picture windows.
Window world double hung 4000 series, with a solar shield package, gave a quote of around 15k, after speaking with some other people that have recently installed windows with them, there should be considerable flexibility in that price.
Restorations windows, 20 double hung, (8 picture windows) with the 12 layer coating quote was 27K.
Sunrise, Sunrise windows with the 12 layer coating package, 20 single hungs (8 picture), was over $34K ($1336 each). They said the only difference between the restoration package and the sunrise package is the outer frame is not insulated like the restoration style. Also a difference in the locking mechanisms.
Also planning on replacing a patio French door. Changing out a 2 6'8" doors with transom, to 2 – 8' doors. Window world gave a price of $5250 for a Therma tru door, and the Sunrise installer gave a price of $7932 for their steel door. Their brand is Provia.
Any suggestions? To me, I prefer the quality of the restorations and then the sunrise, and believe I will get a good install from that company. But I also think the price is very high, especially considering 8 of them will be picture windows. I am considering counteroffering, but I would like your opinion of the sunrise/restorations vs the other brands. The Universal Window Direct supplier in the area, has good reviews.
Thank you for any help,"

Editor's Advice:
Angie, I'm not in the habit of recommending WW -- I don't think their windows are well made and don't offer the sort of long term value that make the initial low cost worth it. The Restorations price bid sounds high to me. The Sunrise on the other hand is a great window AND its nearly the same price as the Window World 4000.
In terms of the doors, I would also not recommend WW (are you sensing a pattern here), but I might get another bid from maybe a Simonton or Jeld Wen -- if for no other reason then to take it back to the Sunrise dealer and say, "I really want to use your company, but your bid is still out of my price range. If you could get the price down to (insert whatever dollar amount you feel comfortable with), I would be willing to sign today. Something like this, it usually works if they have any spaces on their books.
Bottom line, the Sunrise is the clear winner, their door bid seems a bit high but that might not be totally true -- another bid or two will tell you the answer.

Therma Tru Benchmark vs MMI Door Cost Comparison
| Door Option | Quoted Price | Price Difference | Editor's Take |
|---|---|---|---|
| Therma Tru Benchmark Series | $500 And Change | Approximately $800+ Less | Best Value |
| MMI Door | Over $1,300 | Approximately $800+ More | Better Door, But Too Expensive At This Price |
Pricing Note: The homeowner reported the Therma Tru Benchmark at $500 and change, while the MMI door was priced above $1,300. Exact installed-cost details were not provided.
"I'm replacing a side door and was considering using a Therma Tru Benchmark series door. It was about a third of the cost of the MMI door, which was over $1300. The Therma Tru Door cost was $500 and change. What say you? Thanks in advance!"
Janine - Homeowner - from 2023
Editor's Advice:
Janine, the Therma Tru Benchmark is well made and looks quite nice -- a solid door from what I know. The MMI is very good and probably the better door, but not at that price difference. I would go with the Therma Tru as long as the installation team had very solid reviews.

Thermatru vs. Anlin Malibu
Hi again Dane, Do you know about doors too? Trying to decide between Anlin Del Mar Malibu (or maybe Anlin Bay View) vinyl french doors (double swing) and a fiberglass french door from another manufacturer (Milgard Ultra or Thermatru). I've read things about vinyl doors that make me think we should avoid them but it's hard to find an unbiased source about doors.
Christina - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Christina, the Anlin Del Mar Malibu door is quite good. Thermatru makes a very good door, and the Milgard Ultra is quite decent. The fiberglass is usually going to be quite expensive and I think the vinyl door gets you equal energy efficiency. Some people just really like fiberglass, but I think the Anlin vinyl door option is the way to go from a long term value proposition myself.

Therma Tru Doors
Hello Dane, I have been looking at some of your reviews on different window companies, so I‘m wondering if maybe, you are able to help me narrow down the competition. I am looking to replace some double-hung windows, slider windows, and a picture window. I’ve looked at Sunrise, Provia, Simonton, and Greatlakes. I am also looking for windows that will last for long time. Do you have any suggestions?
I’m also looking to replace a front entry door with two sidelights, a side door, and a back entry door. I’m looking for a modern look door and I have looked at Albany, Provia, and Therma Tru. Again, any suggestions?

Hi Tyrone, I'm going to go ahead and send you my lists with windows to look for. In general, you are on the right track.

Therma Tru Windows Reviews
Hi my contractor is replacing all of my windows and possibly my front door and recommended therma tru windows. Pros? Cons? How r they in comparison to some others like American standard?
Thank u!

Andi, from the little I know, Therma Tru makes a very good door. I wasn't aware they made windows though. Their website doesn't mention windows. I'd double check with the contractor on the brand of windows he's considering. As for the doors, I'd say Therma Tru sounds like a good option.

Therma-Tru Windows vs Andersen and Pella
We're replacing 16 double-hungs, 2 picture, and 3 center-hinged inswing French doors. We've got estimates from Marvin Integrity and Infinity (with and without Everwood), Pella ProLine and Impervia, Andersen 100 and 450 (Tilt Wash [TW] for windows) -- conversion kits and inserts, and Home Depot vinyl. All options are a lot of money for our budget.
A reputable window supplier (not installer) is advising us to do the Andersen TW conversion kit for all the double hungs, replace the sash and stops on the bay windows, and go with Thermatru fiberglass French doors. The TW conversion kits we could do on our own and we don't lose any viewing area. We would likely still have a contractor do the doors.
This route sounds like the way to go and could save us a heap of money. Does this seem like the best way to go from a cost-effective and useful-life standpoints?
I could send you all cost numbers tomorrow, if you'd like to see those. Thank you.

[Site Editor's Response]
Jonathan, all three options you have selected are rather expensive, three of the more pricey options you can opt for. I don't know enough about Thermatru to say whether they are good or not, from their website they look pretty interesting. I'm curious whether the window supplier's price compares with your others.
Compare replacement window reviews from the most popular brands:
If these options are all out of your budget, you should consider going with a vinyl replacement window and door option. Okna, Sunrise, Soft-Lite, and Polaris are all really high quality vinyl windows and should be a third less than those wood window options and will come with better warranties and require less maintenance. Get a couple bids from one or more of these brands and see how they comepare.
