Thompson Creek ComplaintsRecently got a quote from TC to replace all of the windows in my house. $2500 per window is what they wanted for the work. Whole project was going to run over 60K. What has happened to prices these days - they are outrageous. I must be getting old, that's all there is to it -- love to see your list and thank you for this in advance. You run a good site.
Thompson Creek Windows Reviews cs VytexWe have a bid for the Vytex Potomac for $25,970 from WN. Would that be a good price? Also do you have any opinions on TV? They quoted us $37k for 27 openings.
[Site Editor's Answer]The VYtex Potomac quote is much better than the Thompson Creek quote. I would go with the WN bid.
Thompson Creek vs PellaHello Dane, I noticed none of the heavily advertised companies (Anderson, Pella, Thompsen-Creek) in my area (Northern Virginia) are on the list.
[Site Editor's Answer]Taj, none of the big companies are on my list because when it comes to vinyl windows, my great list is head and shoulders above anything that Andersen or Pella makes. They focus on high end wood clad windows. Thompson Creek makes a very good vinyl window, but they tend to be very expensive and they aren't big enough -- their dealer reach is quite small so it doesn't make sense to include them.
Thompson Creek vs. Andersen WindowsHi Dane, I got two quotes for 4 windows total
[Site Editor Answers]Samuel, that is totally on the high end -- but I would expect that from both of those companies. My site calculators are on the low side though as I keep hoping that prices will come back down to reality :) They don't seem to be...Get a couple more bids based on the list I send...
Thompson Creek Windows ReviewsHey Dane, I'm in the market to replace 22 double hungs, 2 sliders, 1 door from sunroof to deck, and 1 custom window all with grids. My first estimate came from Thompson Creek at 43K and they don't remove or re-hang blinds. Is this a good price or too expensive?
[Site Editor Answers]Clarence, that price tag sounds very high to me. I would continue your search. Here is my list of good and great brands and options for you to take a look at...
Thompson Creek vs. Window UniverseDane, the windows in my house are 35 years old, I am getting estimates to replace them from Thompson Creek, Window Universe and others. I know Thompson will be more expensive but my question is do they add the enough value to a house to merit the extra cost. I will sell this house in 10-12 years.
[Site Editor Answers]Eric, it's a great question. From a cost perspective I think the answer is no they don't add real value to the home -- UNLESS the next buyer puts stock in new windows. It's kind of like solar panels in that regard -- they save you thousands every year, but if a buyer doesn't put that into their calculation, then it doesn't really get factored into the assessed home value. But, new windows make you comfortable in your home everyday and that's a pretty important thing to have in your life. With a 10 to 12 year timeline, I would say buy a good window, but not a great window.
Thompson Creek Windows ReviewsHi, Dane. Appreciate what I've been able to research on your website. Would you send your redacted list, please? We've got 28 windows to replace; transitioning from wood to vinyl or composite. Would prefer almond/beige color, but that seems to be a hard option to come by. We have 4 quotes: Anderson and Pella (both overpriced and out of our budget), Thompson Creek, and Window Nation. The latter two are in the same ballpark price-wise. We live in Maryland (DC suburbs) and are wondering who else we should think about. Not totally convinced we've found the right match.
[Site Editor Answers]No problem Dave!
Thompson Creek Price ListGood morning, I have been reading the advice and what an eye opener! We just recently (as last night) got a contract with Thompson Creek for 21 windows and 2 sliders (one is tempered) and it will cost us $30,792 down from $51,000 plus a 40% discount according to them. Is this a reasonable price? Or do I need to get try to get more bids? I have until Friday to back out of the contract.
[Site Editor Answers]Maria, Thompson Creek is a good window, but paying $1350 per window strikes me as way too much -- unless there is something about your project that warrants that high per window cost. So I would suggest that you keep that bid in the background and continue your search until we find a quality window from a quality company at a better price point. I'll send you my list.
TCW 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.
[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.

TC vs Window UniverseHi Dane, Great advice and website. Thanks for doing it. I’ve got two quotes for 11 double hungs (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?
[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 vs PellaI 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 Windows Reviews In VirginiaHi 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 prices I've gotten so far are:
[Site Editor Answers]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 Answers]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 Windows ReviewsI feel pretty certain that you only review nationally available products, but curious to know if you have any info or opinions on Thompson Creek.
[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.
