Milgard Windows Pricing
Explore Milgard Windows pricing range on their Styleline, Tuscany, Trinsic, Ultra and QuietLine window series. As a general rule of thumb, Milgard is in the middle of the pack for vinyl window manufacturers (their Quiet Line is quite pricy, but is probably the best soundproof window on the market).
Milgard produces solid windows that offer good performance in the mid price range. Primarily available on the west coast, they can be found in some other areas as well. They have a reputation for good windows and good customer service.

Milgard Windows Pricing :: Style Line Series
When it comes to quality vinyl windows on the west coast, Milgard is definitely part of the conversation. Their StyleLine Series is their entry level offering and is essentially a stripped down version of their middle of the road Tuscany model. The Style Line uses a narrower frame for better viewing area, but at the cost of some energy efficiency and strength.
The Style Line lacks some of the nicer features of the Tuscany, including vent stops, an upgraded locking system, and a better spacer. As I mentioned, this model will be less energy efficient, but will be price out 15% to 20% less than the Tuscany.
Bottom Line: The Milgard Style Line is a decent window for budget projects or for smaller window frames where glass space is critical. If possible, I would urge consumers to stretch into the Trinsic or Tuscany to get the better features, stronger frame and increased energy efficiency.

Milgard Windows Cost For Styleline
I live her in So Cal about four miles from the coast. I am retrofitting 1 sliding glass door and 5 windows from a Milgard rep. $10,000, which does include the install cost. Doesn't this seem excessively high?
Dan - Homeowner - from 2023
[Site Editor's Answer]
Dan, this does sounds high, especially since the Styleline series is their entry level option and considering that retrofit is the cheapest and easiest install methods around. I'd get more bids, they are going to be lower than this one, I'm sure of it.

Milgard Windows Cost vs Anlin
Hi Dane, great website there! I have 13 windows and 2 sliders (3 of the windows are large with 3 half circle types on top)
Milgard Style Line $16000
Anlin Panoramic $18100
This breaks down to $800 per window for Milgard and $900 for Anlin. I'm thinking the Anlin is far more worth the extra price?
Thank you so much!!
P.S. Wait time for Milgard is 4 months; and Anlin is 2 months
Cathy - Homeowner - from 2022
[Website Editor Answers]
Cathy, I agree with your assessment that the Anlin is the better of the two options. The Anlin bid sounds fair to me given patio sliding door prices and the large windows with the half circles.
Assuming the Anlin dealer has a solid to great reputation, and your timeline in the home is 10 years plus, then the Anlin option is definitely the route I would go.
Best of luck!

Styleline Costs
Hi Dane, got some great info from your site but I’m still confused. Looking to replace 14 windows (rest of the house was done by Lowe’s years ago but now going w/ local company)
Living Room: 2 single hung, 6 picture windows (some odd size)
Entry: 2 picture flanking door, 1 big picture above door
3 bathrooms
14 total
Quote 1:
Monteverde: $8220
Simonton: $8385
BayView: $7975
Quote 2:
Anlin Panoramic: $8364
Quote 3:
Styleline: 9 windows $5168
5 Glass inserts instead of windows: $2134
Lowe’s: Pella $8217
Southern CA tract home that we plan to stay in. Panoramic seems to be the best since the quotes are fairly close, but would love your input.
Thanks in advance!
Gayle - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Hi Gayle, I think I agree with you that the Panoramic is the best value, but they are relatively close -- the 1st and 2nd bid at least. I might make the call by comparing the two companies doing the work rather than the windows themselves, which are relatively close in quality. But I agree that if you are planning to stay in the home, then the Anlin option is the better one over the Milgard or the Simonton.

Milgard Windows Pricing Styleline
Hey Tom! Found your website, and really enjoy reading through it. Lots of great info!
I live in Phoenix, and I am researching getting new windows. 1957 house, block build, approx 10 windows. And yes, lead testing will be fun, but! I've got a few quotes, and was hoping to share them, and get some advice.
First, of course, should I go Vinyl or Fiberglass? I'm not really thinking of aluminum due to climate, but I could be wrong.
I've used the Styleline as a base vinyl model to compare bids, with one that uses Amerimax. Im looking for a good mix of energy efficiency and glass area. Are there other options I should consider? Windsor? Amsco? Milgard Tuscany?
Here's the bids so far:
Amerimax: $9400 (mostly AG3, with one or two 340 Neat for the west side)
Milgard Styleline:
Company A: $4917
Company B: $6767
Company C: $7110
Christopher - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Christopher, those three bids are all for the Milgard Styleline and they vary by that much? Obviously if you compare the $4900 bid to the $9400 bid it's a no brainer. There is no way that the Amerimax is worth 2x. The Styleline is Milgard's entry level vinyl window and not the choice I would make for my long term home. The Tuscany is the better window and worth the 15% upgrade cost. The Milgard Trinsic is the newer model and gets roughly the same energy efficiency numbers as the Tuscany, but in a slimmer frame. This might be my choice as far as the Milgard windows go.
I would also perhaps get an Anlin bid on their Catalina model. I would like this over the Milgard myself.
Anlin, Amerimax, Milgard, and Simonton are the far brands that are in your area and are worth a look. The Simonton Reflections 5500 is my go to window and is essentially the same as the Simonton 6500 series. The Amerimax bid is just so much higher than the Styleline bid that it's hard for me to give much more advice than what I've done above.
Tom - Site Editor - from 2020
Milgard Style Line Price Quote
Hi Dane I got the quote with two options with Full Frame Install:
Style Line 12 Windows NF w/Trim $12,252
Plygem Pro 200 12 Windows NF w?Trim $9,881
The Milgard is $2,370 more than the PlyGem.
I do see Milgard production facility in our state has 4.4 Stars our of Five (263 Reviews), and Plygem has 3.3 Stars out of Five (81 Reviews) on Google. Yet I see warranty, quality, and service issues on both listings.
Am assuming that the Simonton Daylight Max would be more than the Milgard even.
So would like to save that $2,370 by going with PlyGem, but don't want lousy quality either. Would you say the models quoted are of similar quality? Or should I spend the extra for Milgard, or even Simonton Daylight Max if it's comparable price?
John - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
John, I think that's about what I would expect between these two windows. The Ply Gem 200 is their entry level window and not one I would really ever recommend except for houses you were going to flip.
The Milgard Style Line is a decent window. Not great, but decent. I'd like to see the breakdown on that bid between window and labor. $1000 for a Style Line and full frame installation seems high to me.
I would think the Simonton Daylight Max would be similarly priced to the Milgard.

Rick - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Rick, the Simonton Clearview windows are just okay, they are the entry level Home Depot line of windows. I would probably give the the nod to the Milgard Styleline over the Clearview. I would prefer the Milgard Tuscany model, which is a nice step series from the Styleline.
Pella Impervia is, in my opinion, a poor choice for a fiberglass window. I would take a hard pass on this.
I’m not a huge fan of WW either.
I AM a huge fan of the ProVia windows — the Endure, Aspect and ecoLite series. Assuming you like the dealer and their price, this is the route I would go.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2019
[Rick's Reply]
I also got a quote for the same from Sandia windows. Amerimax craftsman portrait. 14K? Looks like a nice window.
Rick - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Rick, no bother at all. The Amerimax Craftsman Portrait is quite a nice window. Not on par with the ProVia Endure, but a top end mid range vinyl window. Decent price too.

Chad - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Chad, I think the Wincore 5400 is a decent mid range window, like the Milgard Styleline or Tuscany. The best value might be the Simonton 5500 for $19000. These are the three or four options I thin offer the best value.

Milgard Style Line vs. Ply Gem Builder Grade
We live in Texas and our builder has recommended Ply Gem Builder grade windows, but we've given him some push back based on what we've found.
The Milgard Style Line or Hermosa series are both local and maybe a step up from the Ply Gem Builder.
Our house needs 460 sq. ft. of windows, 14 in all. Here are the bids so far.
Ply Gem Builder Grade: $6160
Milgard Style Line: $9380
Milgard Hermosa: $10,500

Milgard Style Line Cost Quote
I live outside Santa Cruz, CA and have 28 windows that need replacing. Both quotes are from reputable companies and the reviews seem pretty close in quality. The removal and the re-installation of existing blinds come with both quotes.
Milgard Style Line: $15,000
Anlin Catalina Infinit: $22,000.
Jenny - Homeowner - from 2018
[Website Editor Answers]
Hi Jenny, I would say a better comparison is the Milgard Tuscany, which might run somewhere like $17,500. Anlin is probably the better choice, but you are right on the line here in terms of which to go for. I would see if you can lower the quotes on each and then make your decision.

Milgard Style Line Bid
I'm replacing 4 bedroom windows on quite a busy and loud street. Milgard gave me a quote — $3500 and that was for 1/4 inch and 3/16 inch glass. Two are casements with a fixed window between them. The other is a small window in the master bath.
Sharon - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
I wouldn't use the Styleline as a soundproof window myself. I don't think this is going to be a good enough window to reduce down noise. This quote also seems high to me. I'd keep getting bids if I were you. A high quality double pane window is going to be your best bet since true soundproof windows can be very expensive.

Milgard Style Line Costs
We are looking for replacement windows and have had 5 companies out to quote our project. We have 58 windows varying by casement, picture, and slider plus two sliding patio doors. The range is $70,000 for infinity by marvin - $61,000 for champion windows, $40,000 for milgard tuscany style, $37,000 for milgard style line, and $35,000 for amerimax. We live in CO so high altitude construction is a factor. The bid for milgard style-line was made based on the company rep noticing we have many smaller windows and she felt they would give us more glass over the tuscany line. So frame width seems to possibly be a factor. Marvin and Champion are pretty far out of our budget.
What is your recommendation on these three quotes and also do you have any experience with extra work replacing windows on stucco homes? One company wants us to hire a stucco company to chip out the exterior window frame about 2 inches per window. We had not been planning that type of extra work on this project and haven't even looked at quotes for fear of our budget being blown.
Brenda - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Brenda, stucco is a total bear for window replacement, unless they cut out the windows and do a retrofit window, which then means you are losing some glass area. 58 windows is a lot of windows and that's going to be a tremendous amount of stucco work and patching. The other issue with the stucco is color matching since the color of the original stucco has now faded some over the years. So you have to make a tough decision -- did you get the opinion of all five reps to see if they had a consensus? I'd keep getting bids and asking the installers how confident they are in doing a retrofit window...
I like the Tuscany over the Styleline, but I take your point about the narrower frame on the style line. I happen to like Amerimax windows -- is the bid for the Craftsman Portrait? I'd go with that window for $35K, assuming you like the look of it.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2016
Milgard Style Line Pricing
Milgard's Styline is a thinner framed, more modern looking window with uneven sightlines and more glass than the Tuscany. It doesn't have a vent lock or weep hole covers, and features an elevated locking mechanism. It is less expensive than the Tuscany (about 10%), largely because the increased glass makes it less energy efficient. It's a great choice for smaller windows openings or if you just can't afford the Tuscany.
Milgard Windows Pricing
We are seniors living in an older mobile home and have quotes to replace two large front west facing windows as the hot sun streams in late afternoon and makes the room very hot. My husband is handicapped and we live on social security so we are careful with our budget. He now spends a lot of time in this room and we need it to be more comfortable as he has multiple sclerosis and changing temperatures cause too much stress.
We have quotes from Northwest $2137 for Anlin and $1857 Monte Verde. The rep says the only difference is the warranty on the Monte Verde is not transferable
A quote from SGK Home Solutions quote for quality Milgard windows LoE3 title 24 dual pane $625 per window
Smart energy Solutions Milgard style $1620 and Plygem Pro triple pane $2050
We are tempted to go with the SGK as we have a third window which will benefit being replaced.
Your help will be appreciated. Thank you. Selma Shelton
Selma - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Response]
Hi Selma, I'm sorry to hear about your husband's condition. In terms of windows, I would agree with you that the Milgard quote from SGK for $625 per window is the best of the bunch. I would suggest the Tuscany model over the Styleline though, which should only add 10% to the price. I'm guessing that quote is for the Styleline, but I can't be sure. That low-e3 glass should keep out lots of that passive heat during the day and stay cool.
I would ask for the Tuscany quote on all 3 windows and see if the quote is in your budget. Milgard makes a good vinyl window and you should be well served as long as the installers do quality work. Best of luck to you and your husband!
Dane - Site Editor - from 2016
Milgard Windows Pricing :: Tuscany Series
The Milgard Tuscany is a decent mid range vinyl window - it's not the fanciest of window models, but it offers lots of nice features, provides good energy efficiency, operates quite nicely and looks good (not great, but good.) Plus, it usually comes in at a good price point, in fact, it's one of the windows that I often recommend to friends and family on the west coast that are looking for a mid range vinyl window.
The Tuscany Series offers several nice upgrades from the Styleline, including an upgraded lock, vent stops, a wider spacer and higher quality screen. Expect to pay around 20% more per window for the Tuscany over the Styleline.
The one feature I don't like about the Tuscany model is the pocket sill, which drains water through the frame and out the weep holes at the bottom. I don't have a problem with the design for mild to dry climates like Califronia, but it can become an issue in wet environments like the Northwest. The tendency is for moisture and gunk to build up inside and become a mess over time.

Milgard Tuscany Windows Cost
Hi Dane, I am looking to replace 5 patio sliders and 3 windows (currently have some 30+ yr old single pane aluminum doors/windows (Guessing Milgard). We have quotes for Milguard Tuscany v400, California deluxe windows and Anlin (Malibu for doors, Del Mar for windows). Midgard was cheapest by about 2k, CDW and Anlin basically same (CDW a few hundred less then Anlin).
Looking for some expertise on best of the bunch?
Jon - Homeowner - from 2022
[Website Editor Answers]
Jon, for 5 sliders and 3 windows -- I would say that the Anlin is the best option. If you are going to be in the home for longer than say 8 to 10 years, then Anlin would be my call. Less than this and I would say the Milgard is the best option.
Dane - Website Editor - from 2022
Milgard Tuscany vs. Anlin Catalina
Dane, here is are two quotes one from a Tuscany from Milgard and one from Catalina from Anlin.

Milgard Tuscany Price vs. Simonton Daylight Max
I live in Bend, Oregon (high desert plateau climate - avg summer highs upper 80's to low 90's, avg winter lows upper 30's, but often dipping into the teens or 20's). We recently got two estimates for replacing several of our windows and would appreciate any comments you may have regarding the windows the two vendors selected and if the cost difference for the Simonton quote is worth it.
We were told by the Simonton dealer that a price increase is coming Aug 1st, so we need to make our decision tomorrow (Fri, Jul 30).
6 Simonton Daylight Max
Total: $10,405
GREAT NORTHERN WINDOWS
6 Milgard Tuscany Window
Total: $8,875
Bill - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Bill, it's either $8.8K for 6 Milgard Tuscany windows, $10.4K from Simonton Daylight Max windows? The Milgard through Great Northern by a mile. Great Northern seems to have a very good reputation with the little amount of research I did so they seem like a sensible option to me! The Milgard Tuscany is a solid window given professional installation.

Milgard vs Renewal By Andersen
Hi Dane & Tim, I came across your site while researching my Renewal by Anderson quote and it was very helpful and informative.
My take away is that RbA are overpriced in your opinion and everything I have read elsewhere tends to support that opinion.
I live in Phoenix, AZ and I'm looking for quality replacement windows for a reasonable price. I do believe in paying for quality, but not overpaying!
I have attached my quote which I would love to have your opinion on.
Some neighbors of ours recently replaced 12 windows in a similar style, same age house with Milgard vinyl windows for about $7,500, so I was shocked by the quote from RbA.
I guess my main question is are RbA's Fibrex frames really that much better than vinyl? Particularly in the AZ heat?
Any insights or advice you can give would be greatly appreciated!
Ryan - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Ryan, I would say that RBA's fibrex frame is somewhat stronger, but not nearly as much as they promote it to be. Fibrex is simply vinyl and sawdust "mixed" together in a proprietary method. A well made vinyl window should hold up in the hot Arizona heat. Take a look at two other brands besides Milgard. Anlin is one. Their Del Mar and Catalina series are quite good. And then Amerimax. Their Craftsman Portrait Series is quite good. This is where I would start to look and get a solid three bids to compare to RBA and Milgard.
Tim - Site Editor - from 2021
Milgard Tuscany Windows Cost
Hey Dane, saw your site and had two questions for you.
We are in the Bay Area, and are looking to replace 22 original steel frame single pane windows. When I told one of my friends, he almost killed me, and said to remove these windows and replace w vinyl is an affront to my house—is he just being snooty, or do you agree? The heat loss and sound issue is driving my wife and crazy.
2nd, I have two quotes. One from Anlin Del Mar reseller and one from Milgard Tuscany.
We have 8 36 x 48 single hung, 2 36 x 36 SH, 4 36 x 48 casements 2 18 x 48 SH, a massive 60 x 108 piece of glass w an geometric on top and some others of similar size. The Anlin quote was $25k, while the Milgard was $17k. I assume $8k difference we should gone Anlin? Or do you think the Anlin quote is just high?
Any insight is greatly appreciated!
Thank you.
David - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
David, new vinyl windows will be much better in terms of energy efficiency and noise. Yes, they don't have that sleek look of a steel or aluminum window. If your home is super modern looking, then your friend has a point. But most homeowners use vinyl windows because they are less expensive, last longer, and get better performance.
Your bids are tricky because $8K is a huge difference. Yes, Anlin Del Mar is the better window over the Milgard Tuscany, but 30% better...probably not. Milgard makes a sleeker window in their Trinsic model that might be of interest to you. It's a newer model that is slimmer, but is comparable to the Tuscany.
Prices are really high right now given the home improvement push so it's tough to say if those prices are fair or not. You may want to get a couple more quotes just to see what else is out there. A high end Simonton in the Reflections 5500 or the Impressions 9800 series might be an option. Also, google "amerimax windows in [city, state]" to see if there is a dealer with this brand.
I think you have a good start. Still not completely sure what the better value is though between those two bids.

Milgard Tuscany Series
Hello Dane, my wife and I are having some work done on our house, which includes replacing some windows while surrounding siding work/wood rot repair is done (two birds, one stone).
Doing 4 replacement windows; 3 on a bay (DH, Picture, DH) and a separate picture window. 24” x 60” for the DH. 48” x 60” for the bay picture. 48” x 80” for the large picture window above the door. All windows are located 2nd story above a pergola; and we are replacing the single pane windows original to the house from 1986. We may be in the house for probably another 10 years or so, if not longer.
Contractor is a window installer/wood rot repair. They had recommendations from Marvin, to Milgard, to MI; pending the customers budget. Install costs were 1,000 a piece (seems reasonable for the size and location of the windows).
I’m in the KC area and we are narrowing down on the Milgard Tuscany Series as the preferred window series based on our research. We are not looking at anything fancy, but wanted an Energy Star Cert. window (NC area). However, I’m not sure what other brands would be on par with the Milgard Tuscany series in the Midwest KC area. We definitely want to avoid MI per your reviews and other reviews we have saw; but are unsure if the Marvin brands are worth the investment cost at this point.
Curious what price you’d expect for the Tuscany series for something along these lines and what other brands on par that you could recommend.
Regards.
Jake - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Jake, tough to say what the Milgard Tuscany will run you, but usually like $300 to 400 for a standard sized window and then tack on the install cost. Is it $1000 total for the install. That's reasonable, but not $1000 a piece.
I'd get a bid from your local Zen dealer, assuming they sell the Soft-Lite brand. Marvin is a great brand, but it's pricey. Most people can't exactly afford it, and honestly a solid mid range vinyl window is usually a good bet for most homes in the U.S.
Here are other options I like...

Anlin Del Mar
Anlin Catalina
And what are your thoughts on these quotes? We live in California. This is for 21 Windows (5x Picture Windows, 3x Double Hungs, and the rest Sliders), a Sliding Door, and a French /w Bronze Handle. All include 3/16 and 1/8 (sound pack). All quoted with Anlin Slider + French.

Quote#4 (Tuscany): ~$19-20K
Thank You.
Andy - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Hi Andy, thanks for the question. So if this were my project, I would say the Catalina is the best value for your money. The Catalina is the superior window to the Daylight Max and Tuscany. The Del Mar is the better window, but I don't think it's worth the upgrade cost. I think the only way it would be for me is if this were my forever home. For a mild climate like California, I think the Catalina is a solid choice. This assumes quality installation of course.

I have 13 windows and 2 slider and one french doors. I have price quote for Anlin Catalina $17000, milgard tuscany 15000, four seasons $14000
Adam - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
For me, the Anlin Catalina at $17K is the best long term deal. The Catalina is worth the extra $2K over the Tuscany. I don't know anything about Four Seasons to make a call on this bid.
If my timeline in this house was less than 10 years, however, I would probably opt for the Milgard Tuscany. Anything over this timeline, and I'd go with the Catalina.

Milgard Tuscany Pricing Quote vs. Apex
I have one quote from Apex for 32 windows and 1 slider. The quote was for $31K. Not exaclty cheap and this was their promotional pricing. However, it $48K for Milgard windows.
Nathan - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Nathan, so you have 33 windows to replace. I am shocked that Milgard wants to charge you $48k, unless its for one of their wood clad or fiberglass clad windows. They do tend to charge alot for their exterior colors though.
Still, $31k for 33 Apex windows is pricey, although lets take out the 3.5k so that it's really $27.5K. Still pricey in my opinion (and I agree with you on their promotional pricing, although I'm sure it's effective for them).
Oregon is a tricky state for window recommendations.
I think you need one or two more bids to check against the Apex bid. What about a Simonton Reflections 5500. It's a comparable window and it might be quite a bit less. Search for a local Simonton dealer (not one through Lowes or HD.)
I'm racking my brain for another window to try. Maybe a Ply Gem Pro or Premium model from a local dealer?

Milgard Tuscany Prices
Hi Dane, I'm getting bids on 21 windows and have two that I'm considering. The first is the Anlin Del Mar at $15,988 and the second is the Milgard Tuscany at $13,300. Which bid would you say is the better of the two? Thanks in advance for all of your time and expertise.
Dale - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Hi Dale, to answer your question, the Anlin Del Mar is the better window. But $3K better? That's a tough call. I'd say this: if you're going to be in the house for 10 years or more go with the Anlin. If less than 10 years, go with the Milgard.

Milgard Tuscany Quote
We have 40 windows, all different sizes. 30 of them are retrofit, while 10 will need to be full frame replacement. Three bids, all from highly rated Yelp window companies in my area.
Anlin Delmar Bid: $38k
Milgard Tuscany: $35k (all retrofit)
Simonton Daylight Max: $47k (half full frame replacement)
Rushil - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Rushil, I think the Anlin quote is probably the best of the bunch. The Tuscany and Daylight Max are equal windows, but it sounds like the Milgard installer doesn't think you need full frame replacement on any, while the Simonton dealer thinks you need it on half. I think you need to figure out this before you move forward.
Tim - Site Editor - from 2019
Milgard Tuscany Price Quote
Hello Dane, we are replacing 8 windows (two of them 6' x 5', one 4'x5'), two half round windows above two of the large windows and a patio door.
We were given a quote of $14364 for Simonton 6500 series windows and another for roughly $2500 less for Milgard Tuscany with four of the larger windows double hung.
Without knowing the exact sizes yourself, how do these two bids, installed in area code 98335, sound?
Thank you very much for your time.
Dave - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Dave, the Simonton quote sounds high to me. I realize you have two very large windows, half round windows and a patio slider, but the bid is higher than I would expect. The Milgard Tuscany bid sounds decent fair at $11.8K. I'd much prefer that one over the Simonton quote. I'm curious if they showed you the new Trinsic series. It's a nice option for the west coast, sleek and modern looking, with the same energy efficiency numbers as the Tuscany model.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2019
[Dave's Reply]
Dane, thanks very much for responding. I was incorrect for the Tuscany quote; it was $13.8k for dbl sliders throughout and the patio door. This come with lifetime parts and labor with Home Depot and 10 year transferable warranty. Does this sound like too much? Lowes was slightly less for this Model but I dont believe the warranty is as good.
Also, there was no mention of the Trinsic series. Thanks again for your time.
Dave - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Dave, the quote sounds decent enough. I'm not a huge fan of using Home Depot, I don't think the subs they use are always the best. I'd get a bid from Milgard from a local rep instead of HD myself. I'd ask them to quote out the Tuscany and the Trinsic and insist they bring both window samples when they come out so you can see them side-by-side.

Milgard Tuscany vs. Simonton Daylight Max
We;re getting rid of 8 windows and one old and dilapidated bay window. I would like to know what you thought about the bids and quotes I have so far.
Milgard Tuscany: $12.8K
Simonton Daylight Max: $13.2K
Pella 250 for $13.K5
Nathan - Homeowner - from 2018
[Website Editor Answers]
Nathan, the bids seem high to me in the face of it. I'm assuming there is a lot of work to be done on the bay window and perhaps the installation? I would say either of the first two bids would be the way to go.

Milgard Tuscany Cost vs Anlin Del Mar Desert
Dane, Thank you for your advise. One more question. Which would you choose: Anline Del Mar Desert package at $13,533 or Milgard Tuscany for $10,500? We live in Phoenix, A.
Mary Jo - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
Mary Jo, If it were me I would probably go with the Del Mar Desert package, but I would use the Milgard quote to see how low the Anlin dealer will go. Tell him that if he can get close to the Tuscany bid, you will sign that day. See what he says and give him a few days to lower his price.

Milgard Windows Prices :: Ultra Series
The Ultra, Milgard's fiberglass window frame, is decent but often rated behind Marvin's Integrity and Infinity when looking at fiberglass. It doesn't have the curb appeal of some competitors, but it does have a great option for a real wood interior. The warranty is very good and it's a great choice if you really want fiberglass but can't quite afford the Marvins.

Milgard Windows Price vs Anlin Del Mar
Thanks Dane. Interesting. We were quoted about $700 more per door (installed, new construction) for the Anlin Del Mar Malibu double-swing french doors (quoted at $4788 per door) vs. the Milgard Ultra (quoted at $4050 per door) and the Thermatru. Therma tru were less expensive than Milgard Ultra but not much less. So the fiberglass doors were less expensive. Is that not normally the case?
So, I'm not sure about whether it's a better value to go with Anlin Vinyl unless the vinyl doors last a lot longer. Anlin does have the better warranty though...is that worth $1400.00 more? Also we live in a 1940's bungalow that does a lot of settling and I worry that vinyl french doors will be less stable in the long term...
Christina - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Very interesting. Fiberglass typically runs 30% more than vinyl so yes that is surprising. I would probably go with the Milgard Ultra door then myself. Anlin does make a good window though, better than Milgard in my opinion. You could use the Milgard doors and the Anlin windows as long as the two brands didn't bug you from a consistency point of view.

Milgard Windows vs Renewal By Andersen
I received 4 quotes for fiberglass replacement windows for 2 windows approximately 60 x60 each. They face the ocean side and the house was built in 1947. The quotes I received range widely.
First from a person who does window installation but no license $5000 for everything including moulding around my window (Milgard fiberglass) seems like it was a full window and not a replacement.
Second from local milgard installer at $6,000 for full Milgard fiberglass window but said I needed contractor to take off the siding since he felt the wood was soft ( not true since I checked the surrounding wood and there are no leaks except for the windows themselves.
Third. Renewal By Andersen window cost. Wow. Seems like the sales person knew what he was talking about when he looked at the windows when I noted that the old windows had a vertical frame (casements) that integrated into the house frame (the surrounding frame will not be replaced since integral with walls [ laster lathe walls). Said it would be covered and not show the notch where the vertical piece would be taken out but he forgot about the top of the window that is the same. Price came in at $10,500 minus potential discount making it around $8000.
Fourth was local dealer quote of $2700 (big difference) but he never took into account of the frame issue just said I could sand the frame and was a bit late getting back to me with the quote. All windows are for sliding fiberglass windows and are Milgard with the exception of the RBA that is the composite material. I wanted the best window glass rated rate sun and heat protection since this is a south west window and these old houses do not have any insulation.
I have had bad experiences with contractors before even when I thought I had good specifications, etc. I am relatively old (76) and have legal custody of 3 grandchildren so the funds are tight but I do not want major problems in the future like I have had with my siding and roof replacement that I can’t afford to fix. In other words I need help given the vastly different quotes. I do want something that will be problem free and am willing to pay a fair price for a good product. Are the RBA so much better? I read on your site that the Marvin fiberglass seems good. I really need some help since the yelp reviews on these companies seem OK. Thank you very much for your help.
Joyce- Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
Joyce, in terms of the windows themselves, Milgard makes a good fiberglass window. RBA makes a good window as well, but they are almost always quite a bit higher and not worth the price they charge.
The big issue with your project seems to be the additional work involved, i.e. removing the siding (and window) and then checking to make sure the existing frame and sill don't have any water damage that needs to be repaired before the new window can be put in.
When you remove the siding, you could use either a new construction window (which includes a nailing fin or flange around the top and side) or a replacement window. The new construction route might be the way to go as it provides a good fit and better protection from water.
Here's my problem...it's virtually impossible for me to say who of the group is going to do the best job. If you are price conscious, RBA isn't the way to go, you are paying for the advertising and marketing etc.
I think you need to find an installer (either one of the ones you have or a new one) who has a good reputation for solid and thorough work. It sounds like $4 to $5K is the right price for the work.
But you definitely want to make sure that you go with someone who isn't going to throw in the windows and gloss over any of the frame work that may need to be done. I think you need to find someone with a track record you can trust, either by using someone who firends and family has used or someone with some verifiable reviews.
Marvin fiberglass windows are also quite good, probably a step up from the Milgard. Their Infinity is the preferable to their Integrity model.

Milgard Windows Pricing :: Quiet Line Series
The Quiet Line is a specialty soundproof series made by Milgard and generally considered to be one of the best soundproof windows available. The Rolls Royce of soundproofing window options. The price is much higher than others, but they are specially designed to eliminate noise pollution. With an STC rating of 46, it is similar in noise reduction quality to glass used in recording studios, which are usually around 50-55 STC. The frame is thick and bulky to support the thicker glass. It's too expensive for a lot of homeowners, but if you have noise problems and can afford them, they can really make a difference.

John, I like the Kensington Kingston HPP bid. That looks very solid. The Zen Nirvana is a good option, but I don't think it's better than the Kingston. I like the Hermosa and the price looks right as well. The Simonton quote also looks solid. If it were me, these three would be at the top of my list -- Kensington, Milgard and Simonton. I'd go with the Zen if you don't mind the paying a bit more. More on Kensington Windows cost.

Milgard vs Window World
I have received a quote for our project from a local company (Brennan Corp.) that has been in business for 42 years and has a future with younger family members in the business that should continue well into the future. We know people that have had this company do window and door work for them on 3 separate occasions who are very happy with the quality of the work.
The window they have quoted is the Milgard Hermosa which is built nearby with Texas weather conditions in mind. https://www.milgard.com/windows/hermosa-series Although the quote is approximately $900.00 more than the Window World quote I am inclined, based on your comments regarding the Milgard product and the fact that this is a family business with dedicated installers, to go with them despite the extra cost.
Of course I would be very happy to hear any comments you may have. Thank you in advance.

Dean, sorry this took so long to get back, I've been out of town for the holidays -- the Hermosa is a good window as far as I know. $900 more for the Hermosa is SO worth it it's not even funny. No questions asked, go with the Milgard over the WW, you will save yourself alot of time, money and hassle over the next 20 years.

Milgard Windows Pricing :: Trinsic Series
The Trinsic is the newest vinyl window from this West Coast-ish manufacturer. The Trinsic is going to achieve roughly the same energy efficiency numbers as the Tuscany series. However, the Trinsic is a sleeker and more modern looking window. Currently, this series would be my pick of all of the options from Milgard as far as vinyl windows. A quality buy on the west coast at the right price.

Milgard Windows Pricing vs Anlin
We have 2 patio sliding doors and 16 windows. A Milgard installer bid out the project at $15k for the Trinsic series. Seemed like a good price, but he seemed a little fly by night for my tastes.
The next bid was from a local company on the Anlin Del Mar and this bid was for $22k.

The last bid was on the Simonton Daylight Savings Max for $15.8K

Max, I have to say that Anlin Panoramic bid is at the top of my list. I think it's worth the extra $1.8 over the Trinsic. If you're not planning to be in the home all that long, then the Milgard or Simonton bid makes more sense.

Milgard Trinsic Prices
Hi, we've received bids from 2 reputable installers on replacing a sliding glass door and 10 windows in our Tucson home - one for Anlin Del Mar and one for the Trinsic. Anlin came in at $16,000, Millgard at $11,000. Anlin seems high to me; we like the look of their windows, not sure we like them $5,000 more though! Thoughts?
- Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Hi, so the Anlin DelMar is the better of the two, but I tend to agree that the premium for the Anlin products is higher than what I would expect. Not by much, but I think the better value is probably in the Milgard Trinsic. I think if I planned to stay in my home for the next 30 years, I might consider the Anlin bid. If your timeline is a bit more unknown, then I'd probably stick with the Milgard option. Or....I'd go back to the Anlin dealer and tell him his bid is out of your price range and if he could get somewhere close to the Milgard bid, then you'd be willing to sign a work order that day...and just see what he says.

Milgard Windows Pricing Question
Hi, good afternoon! We bought an old home in the San Francisco Bay area (zipcode 94401) and are looking into replacing the existing long, narrow (6' x 3') double-hungs with similar size (standard size, not custom, if possible) casements. We are looking for a good balance between quality/durability and affordability (maximizing glass area wouldn't be bad either!) and are hoping you can give us a couple of recommendations.
Many thanks in advance!
Mariana - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Mariana, in the Bay Area, the best vinyl window out there in my opinion is made by Anlin. Their Catalina and Del Mar series are very good. Other good options in the Bay Area include Milguard Trinsic and Tuscany series, Amerimax Craftsman Portrait Series, and the Simonton Reflections 5500 series. These would be where I would start...feel free to shoot your bids over to me and I'm more than happy to provide you with my take on what you have.
Tim - Site Editor - from 2021
[Mariana's Reply]
Hi Dane, just in time: you specified vinyl windows - is there a reason for that? Thanks!
Mariana - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Mariana, vinyl windows are the most popular option on the market. They have the best warranty, energy efficiency, require no maintenance, and are the least expensive. But, you want to buy a good vinyl window. Poorly made vinyl windows are...poorly made.
Fiberglass is 30% more, although Marvin does make a very good window and they will have a dealer in the Bay Area. Expensive though. Wood clad is 100% more expensive than vinyl and doesn't last nearly as long.
Most homeowners will be best served with a vinyl window. Some homeowners have their hearts set on fiberglass or wood clad and if that's the case, you should pursue these options as well.

Milgard Windows Pricing Quote
Hello, my wife and I live in Portland Oregon. We are looking to replace some windows in our house with vinyl windows 7 single hungs. We are leaning toward a Home Depot window quote. The two windows they are offering are the Trinsic ($5379) and the Simonton 6200 ($6067)
We are familiar with Milgard, but don't really know Simonton and have had trouble finding information on specific windows from them. As a consequence we are having a hard time deciding what to do.
Any information or recommendations you could provide would be very welcome.
Jim - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Hi Jim, so the Milguard Trinsic and the Simonton 6200 are roughly similar in terms of quality and craftsmanship. I'd probably go with the Milgard Trinsic and save the money over the Simonton 6200.
I have to say that the HD quotes these days have been quite high. If this were my project, I would get a Simonton and Milgard dealer to come by and give you a quote -- they could be $1000 lower. Paying $770 per window for frankly a mid range window is, in my opinion, too much.

Milgard Windows vs Simonton
Hi Dane, I ran across your site and I found it is very helpful while I am shopping for my windows. I got several bids for the Windows but I have from nailed down to these two companies, one is from My Window & Flooring Solutions in San Jose and the other is Able Glass in Santa Clara, CA. I will be replacing 9 Windows and 1 patio door.
The quote I got from My Window & Flooring Solutions:
Milgard Tuscany: $7,065.00
Milgard Trinsic: 6,480.00 (with Glass breakage warranty as option)
Quote from Able Glass:
Simonton DayLightMax: $9,998.00
Able Glass recommended Simonton over Milgard Tuscany for my home because of the thinner frame and better glass view as this is what I have currently.
I am debating between the Milgard Trinsic and Simonton DayLightMax and don't know which would be a better window to choose from as Trinsic is fairly new product and had some negative feedback from consumers. Any insights or suggestions would be highly appreciated.
Thanks.
Maily - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Maily, I personally think the Milgard Trinsic is the better deal here. That's a big price difference -- $6.4K to $9.9K. The Daylight Max might be the slightly better window, but I don't think it's worth the premium cost they're asking. The Milgard Trinsic is where I would go for sure.

I'm in San Diego and have 21 windows and one sliding door that I need to replace. Our mild climate doesn't require really top end windows and doors, but I still want something decent.
Trinsic Option: $13,300
Simonton DaylightMax Option: $11,155
Anlin DelMar Option: $18,950

Ryan, I'd say either of the two lower cost options are going to suite your project best.

Jon, I like the look of the Milgard Trinsic more. But the Ply Gem Pro is probably on equal footing with the Trinsic from a performance perspective.
