Windsor Windows Reviews | New Dimensions SeriesThe New Dimensions Classic is the company’s vinyl window series. This name can get a little confusing because some people will refer to it as the New Dimensions and others as the Classic. Same window. I might give this series a 6 out of 10.
Windsor Windows Reviews ClassicHi Dane, I came across your posts on forums and need your advice. We are about to replace 21 windows in Austin Texas. We've looked at Anlin Del Mar windows, Anlin panoramic, AMSCO artisan, AMSCO Hampton and are now looking at Windsor Classic. Amsco Windows Reviews
[Site Editor's Answer]Kris, I like the Anlin for sure! I might keep looking for other options though, I'm not sure the Amsco or the Windsor make my cut :)
Windsor Cost QuoteHi, I have 14 or 16 windows to replace depending on how you count them. windows in my home with vinyl double pane. By the way, one company counted 14 and the other 16. Here are the quotes and I’m hoping you can advice on which window is better:
Windsor Window BidWe have quotes for Windsor, Jeldwen & Weather Shield currently, ranging from $73k to $92k out the door for 36 windows and 2 sliding doors. I've checked stats (u-factor & SHGC etc) and all are very similar. I've spent a lot of time researching, even purchased a book about buying windows off of amazon and know many of the up and downsides of extruded aluminum clad vs the other products out there. For better or worse, we have made our choice on what type of window we want.
[Website Editor Reply]Jared, I'm not sure I know enough about Windsor, Jeldwen or WeatherShield to really give you a good opinion on which would serve you best as far as aluminum clad windows. None are really on any of my preferred list. Weather Shield Windows Reviews
Windsor Windows Reviews | Pinnacle SeriesThe Pinnacle window is the company's wood clad series.
Windsor Pinnacle Windows ComplaintHi Dane, I'm in the process of installing Windsor Pinnacle aluminum wood clad sliding windows to my house.
[Website Editor Reply]David, they shouldn't be too difficult to slide so it sounds like something is wrong. Have you asked the company rep to come out and inspect them? I would first see what they have to say about it. If they don't provide you with any relief, I would begin to look at youtube.com videos to find some solutions to make them slide a little easier. At that point, I would also not buy the remaining oness from them.
Windsor Pinnacle Windows ReviewsGood evening, we are preparing to have a large palladium window replaced in our 24 year old house. The current window is cloudy and I am sure I have some
rotten wood that will need to be replaced. We are considering the Pinnacle Clad to replace our old wood window. The window consists of 4 parts. Two side windows, the rectangle unit and the half round. My question is this. Is the Pinnacle Clad a worthy window? We have been quoted a price of $3,170.00 plus $750 for installation. Your thoughts on the quality and price would be appreciated.
[Website Editor Reply]Terry, the price sounds reasonable, but honestly, custom type of work on these "elaborate" windows can vary quite a bit. You really can't tell unless you get a few bids to compare it with. That's what I'd suggest.
Windsor Windows Reviews In MichiganHi Dane, I live in Central Michigan. We have a house that a friend of mine's grandparents built new in 1980. It has all but 1 Pella window in it. They have lasted very good but we are thinking about replacing some or all of them. Wood inside with vinyl or aluminum clad exteriors. We have 3 sliding patio doors, 2 – 8' units, and 1- 6' unit. They need to go this year we can make it happen. The others could probably go another few years if need be. I am trying to figure out what to use for replacements.
[Site Editor's Answer]Joel, if you are definitely set on wood, then Windsor is a decent alternative to the Andersen and Pella. The fact of the matter is that all wood windows breakdown over time -- this is reflected in their warranty claims. I'm not the biggest fan of wood for this reason, but I tend to like Andersen. If you can be patient and find a good deal on their doors, I think you can get a good Andersen door at a decent price. Doors can really vary in cost, depending on whether its a standard or custom size so I'd price them all out and see how they compare for your measurements. The 8' and 6' sizes though should be relatively standard.
Windsor Pinnacle SeriesWere in the market for an aluminum clad window. I'm on a budget, but I still want a decent window. So far, I'm looking at Windsor, SEMCO, Marvin, and Jeld Wen. I like Semco and Marvin the best thus far. Jeld Wen and Windsor don't seem to be as smooth and have clunkier looking hardware.
[Contractor Response]The Windsor is a lower end wood window company. Their products aren't bad, but if you do want a stronger product, the Marvin is going to be the brand to go with. Excellent quality and workmanship.

Windsor Windows vs. LincolnWhat are your thoughts on Windsor or Lincoln windows?
[Website Editor Reply]Honestly, I've never been a huge wood clad window fan -- I'm assuming you are talking about wood clad since you mentioned these two companies in the same sentence. If I had to pick I'd choose Windsor over Lincoln. My real pick is always a high end vinyl window with a wood grain interior. Much less expensive and much better energy efficiency, longevity and ease of maintenance.
Windsor Windows Reviews vs Jeld WenWe're building a brand new home with a considerable number of windows and doors. I'm looking for a budget window that will last and look good in the meantime. Originally, I wanted to go with Jeld Wen, but then our builder suggested Windsor. I'm trying to find out if they are a better option than Jeld Wen?
[Contractor Response]Daisy, I'm not a huge fan of either of these brands. I'm not sure you can build a house with a cheap window that looks great and lasts a long time with no issues. I understand that that's what you want, but that's not how products work. Cheap products don't last. You should be looking for a quality mid range vinyl window. Take a look at our best windows page and look in our mid range section for brands that might be better and last longer than either Windsor or Jeld Wen.
Windsor Customer ComplaintI've looked at Windsors and from what I can tell, it's a good price, fast shipping and installation, you can get pretty much anything you want as far as options and custom windows, but the factory makes a ton of mistakes - sloppy fabrication and bad welds. As far as I'm concerned, they're fine for flipping or a rental but I don't want to live with them.
Winsor Legend Windows ReviewWindsor's Legend is a cellular PVC window. It looks great, but Windsor has some quality problems that make me hesitate to buy them. They are a great price, though, and if you're on a tight budget you could do worse.
