Thompson Creek Windows vs. AndersenAre you familiar with Thompson Creek? If so, can you give me your impression? Additionally, you didn’t mention anything like Anderson or Pella, Peachtree or any brands as such. For any particular reason? Curious.
Thank you so much for your help! I am in Virginia Beach.
[Site Editor's Answer]Toni, I am familiar with Thompson Creek. They make a good window, but I've found their prices to be more expensive than they should be IMO. So...I would have to see what they offered at what price to give you a fair opinion on the bid. Andersen makes a great wood clad window, and a poor quality vinyl window. Pella makes a great wood clad window, and a decent quality vinyl window. Peachtree Windows & Doors was bought by Weather Shield in 2010. Weathershield has discontinued most parts and hardware.
Thompson Creek Cost vs Window UniverseHi Dane, Great advice and website. Thanks for doing it. I’ve got two quotes for 11 double hung windows (one tempered):
[Site Editor's Answer]Greg, this is tricky. Thompson Creek makes the better window, but is it worth $3.2K more than the Berkshire Elite. I'd say you are right on the bubble. I'd get one or two more bids to fill in your cost spectrum and give some more options.
[Greg's Reply]Window World threw 5k for 11 windows, one tempered, of their double pane lowE argon model (4000 DH?). They’re so much lower than the others … a mistake or worth the 3k in savings (or 6k for Thompson Creek)?
[Site Editor's Answer]I personally would rather have the Thompson Creek for $6K over the WW for $5K any day of the week...
How Much Do Thompson Creek Windows CostWhat is the approximate cost of a Thompson Creek window?
[Site Editor's Answer]Jeff, Thompson Creek windows will usually run $600 to $800 per window. They are quite a good window, along with a number of other series and models.
Thompson Creek Prices vs. Pella 250 SeriesI found your website and am reading reviews. I am planning to replace my windows and have received quotes from Pella and a local remodeling company. I am getting all twisted around by reviews and not sure what to trust. I have read your responses on line for Pella 250 series.
[Site Editor's Answer]Karen, Pella makes a decent vinyl window, but I think there are better windows out there for the price. MI generally makes a builder grade window and not one that I would consider even mid range. There is a lot of noise and static out there. I would suggest taking a look at my list of good and great windows:
[Karen's Reply]Thanks, Dane. I will look at these brands. I don’t recognize the names other than Simonton, which I just heard about. Disappointed to hear about MI. The remodeling company i was thinking of working with push MI.
[Site Editor's Answer]Most of the really good vinyl window manufacturers aren't household names. Andersen obviously is, and they make a great wood clad window and door. Their vinyl window division, Silverline, is pretty darn poor quality in my opinion.
Thompson Creek Window PricesHi Dane/Tim, I've been collecting quotes for replacement of the 23 year old builder-grade vinyl windows in our Townhome. We live in Northern Virginia and have (29) windows & (1) patio door. The window prices I've gotten so far are:
[Site Editor's Answer]Patricia, the best deal by far is the Soft-Lite Nirvana using Zen. In terms of the spacer, it’s not going to make much of a difference. A small amount of energy efficiency comes from the spacer, but it’s not worth a jump in $200 per window. Okna is a great window, but again not worth $200.
[Patricia Reply]Thanks Dane for the response!
[Site Editor's Answer]The pocket vs full frame is always the big decision. And the price difference is significant, especially with that Zen quote. If you have water damage though it’s hard not to go with the full frame and get it done right. If there is a question abt which one to go with I always say keep getting bids even if you aren’t interested in the actual bid so you can get more professional opinions on what the best approach is for you long term.
Thompson Creek WindowsI feel pretty certain that you only review nationally available products, but curious to know if you have any info or opinions on Thompson Creek Windows.
[Site Editor's Answer]Alan, we try to provide reviews on all windows, but obviously the bigger the operation, the more reviews we have. Thompson Creek is one I only know of anecdotally. They seem to offer a solid window at a higher than worth it price. Probably not always true, but this seems to be the experience of some. Also, their sales tactics seem to be somewhat aggressive and a little shady.
Happy CustomerI had my windows installed recently which replaced some very old aluminum ones that were badly in need of replacement since we live in DC where it gets very cold in the winter. The windows are fantastic, function well and I couldn't be happier with the product itself. The sales guys who sold the windows were good, they did a good job measuring and the installed 8 windows in a day and everything worked out perfect. Granted we haven't been through a winter yet, but so far so good.
Pros & Cons Of This CompanyThompson Creek is a good choice for replacement windows. They make a good product and have great customer service in my experience. My only objection is their sales tactics. They start out with a really high price, over $1000 per window, which is way out of line with their mid-grade product. Then they spend hours trying to pressure you into signing right away. They make calls to their office, try to talk you into being a model home, and eventually they'll leave, just to show back up a few minutes later with some new discount they thought of.
