ProVia Window Prices
Explore ProVia window prices from consumers and industry experts on the Aeris, Integra, ecoLite, Aspect, and Endure window series. ProVia is best known for their doors and actually started out as a door company. Eventually, they expanded into windows and they have a fair bit of experience with aluminum storm doors and now windows.
The company, which is headquartered in Ohio, now manufactures quality vinyl, aluminum and wood clad windows. The one knock from some contractors would be somewhat inflated prices for the quality of the window - one reason why soliciting multiple bids from local contractors can help to get more competitive pricing.

Provia Integra Windows Prices
The ProVia Integra window is a vinyl option that is available in the 200 or 300 series. The 200 is the entry level option and should be considered a mid range vinyl window option that will provide the following performance numbers in the double hung - .30 U-value, .49 visible transference and .27 SHGC.
The 300 models is nearly identical, although it has a slightly upgraded cove sash profile and more color options. The 200 and 300 use a sloped sill that is a far better design feature than the pocket sill used by companies like Alside and Window World.

Provia Aeris Windows Prices
TheProVia Aeris window can be ordered as either a wood interior and vinyl exterior or as a full vinyl window. The wood interior option is the more expensive model that is called the Wx1000. Homeowners can select from three distinct wood types - maple, oak and cherry, as well as some 30 different interior stain and color selections and five unique exterior colors.
Performance wise, the double hung will produce a .28 U-factor, .10 AI and .47 VT. The all vinyl option is known as the VT700 or VT800 - the VT800 is probably ProVia's best known window model. The two windows are virtually identical, with the 800 having one additional color selection and an upgraded cove sash profile.

ProVia Aeris vs. Vista Panorama
Hello Dane, we have 2 twin casements and we live in Virginia. Both are 58" x 58." Both will use tempered glass. Here are the quotes we have so far.
Vista Panorama: $1765. The installer has super reviews.
ProVia Aeris: $3575. Their installers seemed good, but I haven't looked at their reviews yet.
Sunrise Windows: $3631. The installer also has super reviews.
Preservation Triple Panes: $4140. Salesman was a bit pushy.

Provia Aeries Cost vs. Sunrise Restorations
Dane, thanks for all your helpful information. I used the form on your site, and linked up to an installer with great reviews. Curious as to your thoughts on the following proposal for 23 double hung windows, and 1 large picture window:
1 - Sunrise Restorations $25k
2 - Provia Aeries $31.7K
We are leaning towards the Provia Aeries because it has the wood on the inside. Is this a good window? Does the price seem reasonable? We also received a separate quote from Pella for their Lifestyle window for 47k. It is beyond our budget, but was curious if it is worth the premium. It seems like the performance is less than the Sunrise and Provia.
Thanks again for all your help.
Brendan - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Brendan, the performance numbers of the Pella Lifestyle are definitely going to be under that of the other two bids you have. So, personally I avoid wood clad windows -- only because I get soooo many consumers who are replacing their 20 year old wood windows, which are breaking down or have wood rot etc. -- the warranty on most wood windows is 20 to 25 years. I don't much stock in warranties, but I do feel like they are the company's way of telling you how long THEY think their own product will last. Now, if you are willing to oil and care for your wood windows, they can last much longer than this. So that's my buyer beware statement.
Also, check out the website -- https://www.restorationswindows.com/custom-options/ -- you can get the Restorations in a wood finish. I think it looks nearly identical to wood until you get within a foot of the window. I think it looks like a wood window with a slightly glossy finish. This would be my call if this were my home, but that upgrade would probably put the two on par cost-wise with one another...but you would get a window that should last you 40 to 50 years with great performance numbers and operation.
Having said that, the ProVia Aeris is a good window from what I've heard. But I don't hear about it all that often and have never seen it myself. The ProVia Endure is the window I deal with most.

ProVia Aspect Windows vs. Endure
I am looking to replace 15 windows, (10 double hung, 5 picture windows) and 1 patio door. Below are the quotes from 2 companies.
Company A (good reviews)
Provia Aspect window: $700 per window; total ($10,500)
Legacy 460 style 20-Gauge Smooth Steel Patio Door $4850
Company B good reviews and also a certified installer by Provia
Provia Endure window: $ 840 per window, total ($12,600)
Legacy 460 style 20-Gauge Smooth Steel Patio Door $6100
For company B, I could negotiate on the door, may be.but is the $140 price differential per window for Endure worth it? Please advise as soon as possible as I need to decide in 2 days. Glad I found this great resource.
Nyam - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Nyam, I am of the opinion that the better deal is the Aspect at $700 per window. That's a pretty solid price for both the windows and the door. Yes the Endure is the better window, but not for that price. As long as Company A has good reviews, I feel good about the windows.

Aspect Windows vs. Apex Insignia
Dane/Tim, thanks - here is what I have gotten for Ashburn Va 20147.
Power Home Improvements - $8,483 for the 23 windows.
Apex Windows - AMI Insignia 8000 ASO-A-71-01243-00001. $21,500 for the 23 windows. Double Hung, Triple pane.
C2 Operations out of Leesburg Windows using Aspect Windows. AP500 Series. $19,000 for the 23 windows. Double Hung, Double strength glass.
Any thoughts/feed back on these proposals?
Larry - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Larry, Aspect Windows $19,000 would be my first choice, then the Apex -- I looked up the reviews for the Power Home Improvements and they seem pretty poor. I would toss that bid myself.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2022
[Larry's Reply]
Dane - thanks. Is that based on the price of Apex being $21,500 vs. Aspect Windows being $19,000?
Or is based on the quality of the windows? If Apex comes down to $19,000, would that change who your first choice would be?
Larry - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
I would still take the Aspect over the Insignia, but not by much.

ProVia Aspect Cost vs. Okna 500
Hello, I am having a really hard time with this decision. We do not expect to be in our home in 5 years yet the windows are 25 years old and in need of replacement. I am down to two companies - both are well established with great reviews and recommendations.
24 windows - various shapes and sizes (1 big picture window and 2 half circle windows are really pricey!)
Quote 1 - Okna 500
Originally 33K. Talked them down to 25K
Quote 2 - Provia Aspect
20K
I know it is only a 5K difference but this is a lot of money! Any thoughts or recommendations would be appreciated.
Chris - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Chris, if I were going to be in the home for another five years only, I would definitely go with the ProVia Aspect and save yourself the $5K. Still a very good window, just not a real top tier option like The Okna 500. I would just make sure that the company doing the installation for the ProVia has a good to excellent review profile online.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2022
ProVia Aspect Price Quote
Hello Dane. We have recently received two quotes from different contractors for vinyl replacement widows. One installer wanted to install 9 double hung windows using provia aspect mid grade replacements for a total of 6,900.00. The other company wanted to install 9 Harvey classic dh windows for a total of 8,100.00, which do you feel is the better way to go?
Thanks.
James - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
James, I would say that those windows are pretty close in quality to one another. Obviously, I would be leaning towards the ProVia quote based on the price savings. However, I would look up the companies who came out to give you the bid and would compare their online reviews and ratings. This would be a big factor for me. Google "[company name] reviews" and see if there is a clear winner. Hopefully it is the ProVia dealer and your answer is clear.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2022
ProVia Aspect AP500 Cost
Hi Dane, I spent a long time on your site and got a few folks to come out and price out some windows for our house.
It will be 4 Double Hung(one company says they have to use the transom to replace the one we have. two companies say they can make a simple double hung to make up the space that the transom takes now), 1 Casement, 1 Picture, & 2 Sliders.
2 companies gave quotes for ProVia Aspect AP500 Series. One company was @ $7,800 and one was @ $7,300. They are able to make the window with the transom in to a double hung.
One company gave a quote for Okna Envirostar 800 deluxe with Heat Seal. That quote is $7,800. They say that they can not make the window with the transom in to a full double hung and must use a transom.
What other info do you need to give an opinion on which I should go with? If you don't need any more info what is your opinion on what company I should hire? The Okna and one Provia quotes are from window specialists. The other Provia quote is a general contractor that does a bit of everything. They all have really good reviews from what I have seen.
Thanks for any input you can give.
Tom - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Tom, the Okna Envirostar 800 Deluxe is the much better window over the ProVia Aspect. In fact, the Envirostar 800 Deluxe is my favorite vinyl window out there. Fair price as well, especially because the installers all come so highly recommended.

Provia Bow Windows Cost
Bill, thank you for responding. I need to replace a large (109 inch X 74 inch) bow window and 2 small fixed garage 22x28 windows. Due to the price of the bow, I'm considering replacing it with a picture window.
I have 3 bids for the bow and 2 bids for the picture windows.
BOW
$10,100 Provia
$10,600 Provia Aspect triple pane (this is the company that 1st quoted me $14K)
$8,800 Sunrise
PICTURE
$6,250 1 center window and 1 double hung or casement on each side
$2,700 Sunrise Lite 3 Slider Windows or Vinyl Kraft Legacy for $4,990
What's your opinion on the estimates.
Renee - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Renee, the Sunrise options are the best by far here. I'm actually very surprised how low those bids are compared to the others. Sunrise makes a very good vinyl window, easily comparable to the ProVia Aspect and better than the Vinyl Kraft Legacy.
As to whether you should replace the bow window with another bow or with a picture window is of course up to you. I have to say that the Sunrise 3 lite slider for $2700 option would be tough to get away from at a savings of $6,000 dollars...that's a whole other home improvement project right there!
Dane - Site Editor - from 2021
Provia Aspect Cost vs Okna 500
Hi Dane, we've got some quotes to replace 18 windows in our northern Virginia home. All contractors are well reviewed and they all have a 10 year warranty on labor. What are you thoughts on price vs value of the products?
Okna 500 for $14,074
Provia Aspect for $9,654
Sunrise (model not specified (I know minor detail)) for $13,043
Thanks.
Matt - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Matt, while the Okna 500 and the Sunrise are better than the ProVia Aspect, I'm not quite sure they are THAT much better based on the price quotes. If the company offering the ProVia has a stellar reputation, then I would have to say they would be at the top of my list. I would certainly ask them what it would cost to upgrade to the ProVia Endure, which is the step up window. That window is comparable to the Okna 500 and a bit better than the Sunrise "Classic."
By the way, that is a great price on the ProVia. Actually, given what I've seen lately, that is a good price on all the windows. If this were my forever home, I might go back to the Okna dealer and say that if he could match the Sunrise price, then I would go with him. I might also go back to the Sunrise dealer and say if he could match the ProVia price (which he won't, but he might come down some), then I would go with him. I'd see who is willing to deal since they are all good windows!

ProVia Aspect Cost vs. Zen Nirvana
Hi Dane, I received a quote for Provia Aspect double hung windows.
12 windows size 31x72, 2 windows size 31x60, and 4 transom windows of which 3 will mulled and 1 installed by itself to match. Plus removing and reinstall blinds.
Quote of $9,975
Received a bit of $10,800 for Zen Nirvana with larger window to replace transom and no extra transom.
What is your take on this?
Tks in advance for your recommendations and advice.
Paul - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Paul, both of these windows are good, and the bids are close enough to more or less make the cost a wash in my opinion. (Obviously if everything is equal I would go with the ProVia Aspect because you are saving $800...)
For me, this would come down to two factors. One, which option on the tramsoms I like better. This would tip me one way or another, unless you are good with either solution.
Two, which of the companies doing the installation had the better online reputation. This would be the biggest factor for me because I want the work done well.
Product wise, I think the two are more or less comparable, with the edge given to the Zen Nirvana (Soft-Lite Classic).=

Provia Aspect Window Prices
Hello Dave/Tim, I have been following your reviews on your site to make the best decision for my house. I need to replace 16 windows in my SF in Northern Virginia and 4 out of which are 36X75 and one picture window is ~ 42X65. I have got below bids from different installers in my area and am getting little confused as to what are my best options.
Provia Aspect (upgraded with Neopor insulation and dual tech locks) - $9995 (The installer rep is willing to do the Endure also within the same price however his argument was that there wasn’t much difference between these windows after I got those 2 upgrades. I researched on Provia’s site and his argument does make sense from the info I could gather from their website. Also Endure windows have thicker sash limiting the glass area by little bit.
I wanted to go with Endure and had almost decided to pull the trigger but then realized that their lower window has block and tackle balance which relies on Nylon cord and could be a problem with time, however Aspect has Constant Force balance on both the windows and seems like that is more durable and robust of all the balance systems in place currently)
Soft-lite Pro Series - $9920 (from different vendor - The Provia installer (above guy) said they had been doing Soft-lite in our area for last 10-15 years, but the company hasn’t made any upgrades to their windows and hence they have moved to Provia.)
Okna 500 Series - $15226
Zen Lotus Series (Soft Lite Pro series) = $12975
Window Nation Series - $1000 (Grandview)
-I am almost close to making the decision on Endure, but would appreciate your guidance. Also haven’t seen softlite pro yet, as the vendor wanted us to go to their shop to view the window. From energy efficiency numbers perspective, I think all Endure, Aspect and Soft-lite Pro are on par.
Let me know your thoughts and help me with my dilemma.
Thanks.
Atul - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Atul, I think it's fine to go with the Aspect with the upgrades, especially if you like the overall look better. Block and tackle balance vs. constant force, both work well and there is no hard fast opinions on which is better. It sounds like you like some of the features of the Aspect. I think as long as the installation quality is there, the Aspect with those upgrades is a very nice option.
I happen to like the Soft-Lite brand over ProVia for windows, but not doors. He is correct that the Pro series is an older model, but it is also tried and true. I think either the ProVia Aspect or the Soft-Lite Pro would serve you well -- again with professional and quality installation.
I wouldn't get too wrapped up in picking apart the small differences between these relatively even products. I agree that these are your two best bets (based on the price quotes.)
Tim - Site Editor - from 2020
Provia Aspect Series
Tom: thanks for the quick reply. Now comes the decision to replace all 23 windows or just replace the 4 fogged ones. We are not sure if we will sell our home or stay. Here is the quote for the Aspect.
The scope and spec of the Provia Aspect all-white double-hung windows for your home.
The discounted price for all 22 windows is $11,959.
The discounted price for less than 5 windows is $663 a unit.
Pricing includes supply, install, removal, disposal, and exterior capping.
Gil - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Gil, the price for all 22 windows sounds like the way to go to me. I don't know how old the windows are, but if I were going to replace my windows I would do it all in one fell swoop. However, I do see the logic in getting 5 swapped out and then seeing if you like their work, etc.
Tom - Site Editor - from 2020
Provia Aspect Price Quote vs. Zen Nirvana
How do the Zen Nirvana and Provia Aspect windows compare to one another? I have 15 double hungs and both the bids were $8.5K.
Harry - Homeowner - from 2018
[Site Editor's Answer]
Harry, both the ProVia Aspect and Zen Nirvana are solid vinyl windows, each made by quality window brands. The Nirvana or Soft-Lite Classic is probably the better window by a bit, but not by much. The windows are pretty darn comparable windows in my estimation.
I would switch from comparing windows to comparing installers. I would go with the window installer that you feel will do the better job for your project.

ProVia Aspect Window Costs
We are replacing 28 builder grade windows. We are in the Mid-Atlantic region. We have quotes from 2 contractors for either Provia Aspect or Okna 800 series. Both quotes are similar, around $24,000. From what I've read on this site, you seem to prefer Okna but there's not alot of info on Provia. Is it comparable?
The Okna contractor also offered the Okna step up to 1800 series for $27,000. If we go with Okna, is it worth the extra $3000 to get the top line model? I appreciate your input. Your site has been helpful. Thanks.
Carol - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
Carol, I know some about ProVia, but not a ton. They are certainly a less talked about and less used window than Okna. The ProVia Aspect isn't even their top line, the Endure Series is their top-of-the-line window, if I'm not mistaken. So based on those factors alone, I would say the Okna is going to be the one I would opt for, unless there is something else that would sway the balance to the ProVia -- incredible installation teams or something of this ilk.
In terms up upgrading to the 1800 triple pane Okna, I don't think you need to -- at that point, you are paying almost $1000 per window, which is really quite high.
The Okna 800 EnviroStar is an excellent option all around. You may want to get a bid from another company on more of a mid range vinyl window and then use that bid to see how much the Okna rep will come down on his price. Or use the ProVia bid and tell the Okna rep that the ProVia rep was willing to go down to $20K and if he was able to get close to that price, you are all ready to sign. (A little white lie that might save you a couple thousand dollars...)
Tim - Site Editor - from 2017
ProVia Aspect vs Vinylmax Edison
We are looking at the Vinlymax Edison series which I believe is a mid-range window with the "sentry system" locking hardware and the CoreTex Reinforcement. For 11 of them we are right at $4800. This is consistent with another bid for Provia Windows at $4620. This is well below the cost of the Pella 250 Series windows that are running almost $6900. We are only planning on being in the house 5 - 10 years so investing in Pella is not really an option.
We do have Champion and Renewal by Anderson scheduled to come up but I'm not getting very good vibes from either of them. Feel free to through your 2 cents worth in on any of these folks and the bids. You have way more knowledge about this than we do.
Mark - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Mark, I agree with you that your best bids are from Vinylmax and ProVia (I'm not sure which window they quote you out on, I'm assuming it's their mid range Aspect window series). Since you are only staying in the house for 10 years max, putting in a good mid range vinyl window makes a lot of sense. It's probably a toss up between Vinylmax and ProVia, although I tend to think ProVia's reputation in the window industry is a bit better than Vinylmax.
With the windows so close in quality, I would turn to the question of who do you feel between these two is going to give you the better quality installation? This is who I'd go with.

Provia Ecolite Windows Prices
The ProVia EcoLite is the company's "drop down" vinyl window from their premium Endure series. Quite a good window in its own right, but lacking a few of the bells and whistles of the Endure.

ProVia Ecolite vs. Aspect
Hello, can you give me your opinion on a quote I received to replace 6 casement windows with Provia Endure. Quote was $6500 installed. I then asked for Provia Aspect, only $20 less per window. Provia Ecolite is their budget brand but only comes in double or single hung. Price for 6 was $5500. I am in Massachusetts and these prices are outrageous to me or am I wrong and prices have gone up this much. I am getting another quote for same windows.
Fred - Homeowner - from 2021

Fred, that price is actually about what I'm seeing in many bids and I agree they are ridiculous. I'd keep looking if I were you -- there are still fair deals out there, you just have to be willing to look...here is my list of good and great windows:

ProVia Endure Windows Prices
The ProVia Endure is the company's most energy efficient vinyl window. The series comes standard with block and tackle balances, recessed locks, dual balance covers on the jamb, and a Super Spacer. It's a nice window, perhaps in the second tier of vinyl windows. All in all, a good vinyl window.
The ProVia Endure EN600 series should deliver a U-factro of .23, an SHGC around .20, and an air infiltration of .05 for the double hung window. Casements and awning windows will perform even better.

ProVia Endure Cost vs. VVytex Potomac HP
Dane, my wife and I are looking to replace 13 double-hung windows in our (100-year-old) rowhouse in Washington, DC. We've met with several companies, and narrowed it down to two pitches, both coming in at $17k to $18k: Potomac windows from Window Nation, and ProVia Endure windows from DreamHome.
We've more or less decided against Window Nation, as we really hated their high-pressure sales pitch, but before we sign anything with DreamHome, I'm wondering if we're being over-charged. We had budgeted about $1,200 per window, as that's what my dad was charged for a recent window replacement in MA, but reading your site makes me think there might be/should be room to bring this down a bit. Are we being ripped off? Or is the likelihood/guarantee of lead paint and the attendant additional safety measures where the additional cost is coming in?
Rick - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Rick, I would say the quote was too high, except that the Window Nation quote for the same job using an equally good window was in that ballpark. I would get back to DreamHome and say you loved their product but you're way over budget as it is. If they could match the WN quote, then you would be ready to sign the work order. See what they say...that or get some additional bids. I have a list of window brand options if you want to continue your search.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2022
[Rick's Reply]
Interested in what other brands to be looking at. I have a quote coming in next week from a dealer that sells Okna windows, but I expect that that's gonna be higher, given where the brand sits in the market. Other brands to look for that have high performance without costing $17k for a 13-window job?
Window Nation came in at the same price because they were willing to price-match, for what it's worth, but they were asking a little over $20k before that.

Provia Endure vs Sunrise Stadard
Hi Dane, we received two quotes for windows in the southeast PA area, which were both from reputable window companies who offer lifetime installation warranty.
1st Quote - Provia Endure with ComforTech DLA-UV glass package
18 windows (4 awnings, 3 sliders, 11 double hung) - (two sets of two existing double hungs converted to large sliders reducing total existing window count by two)
Grids on most windows
$20,168 - 4-6 month lead time
2nd Quote - Sunrise Standard with S2100a glass package
20 windows (4 awnings, 1 slider, 15 double hung)
No grids
$21,645 - 10-12 week lead time
The large difference in lead time is important to us but not a deal breaker. We are planning to remain in this house long term so we want a quality window; however, we have a number of large projects (roof, hvac, etc) that must be completed in the next few years so we need to balance quality with pricing. This pricing is more than expected. We were initially looking for a high mid-range window but are now second guessing that. Are the quotes above reasonable?
Thank you for your time and help!
Shannon - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Shannon, both of these windows are excellent. I totally get the lead time issue. I prefer the ProVia Endure, but the Sunrise is a great window. For me, it would be about the company doing the install -- how their ratings and reviews stack up against one another.
Are the quotes reasonable? I don't know, I have a hard time wrapping my head around $1K plus for a window myself. You could always get a couple more bids and see if you find a better price and/or company.

ProVia Endure Window Cost
Hi - love your site - it’s really invaluable!!! I am struggling to see if I am getting a good deal with a Provia Endure quote. We have 10 windows - 8 are 34” and 2 are 70”. We have been quoted right at $10k for the non “energy” windows i.e without the thermal reinforcements.
It feel like I should be getting the thermally reinforced windows and maybe even at a slightly lower cost ?
Any advise would be much appreciated.
Ian - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Ian, the ProVia Endure has been going for roughly $1K per window -- I can't see the thermal reinforcement running more than $50 per window. My advise is always to get a couple more bids to find out how they compare to the Endure quote. Then you will have a much better idea of whether your bid is fair or inflated.

Provia Endure vs. Window Nation Grandview
Dane, good evening. I just got two quotes over the last two nights for replacing 24 windows in a 1952 stone Cape Cod. The two companies we got quotes from are Window Nation and a local company George J Grove & Sons who have been in business for over 60 years.
Window Nation gave us a quote on the Grandview window for $33,500.
George Grove & Sons gave us a quote for the Provia Endure window of $30,480.
After reading this website, I feel like I'm getting hosed and don't know who to trust and hire.
I also feel after reading through this website that those windows are comparable. Is that your opinion as well?
Any insight would be great.
Bill - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Bill and Melissa, I'm not so sure I'd say you are getting hosed. Replacing your windows could involve lots of work -- especially for a home from the 1950s...but you'll really only know the fair market price if you collect a few more bids. This will tell you if your job is simple or whether it involves more work than the average window replacement project --
Of the two bids so far, I'd definitely go with the George Grove & Sons Provia Endure for $30,480. The company reviews look quite good and the ProVia Endure is a top notch window.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2022
ProVia Endure Price Quote
Dane, thank goodness we got a 3rd quote. $20,100 for 24 Endure windows, with upgraded screens and locks. Another local company that is a father/son duo that is very well known in the area.
I can't thank you enough for your website and the information provided on there. It's all about open and honest opinion and education and you did just that.
Have a great weekend.

ProVia Endure Price Quote
I received a quote 4 windows $3400 is that a fear price? Or am I getting ripped off?
Carmine - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Carmine, not necessarily. The price guide is for the "normal" window install. There can be all sorts of factors that price prices up or down. But...anything over $1000 per window raises my alarm bells. Get a couple more bids and see what the competition comes in out -- three bids would be ideal.

Please please please, let me know your thoughts!!!
Take care and I look forward to your insights.
Javier - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Javier, the best window of the bunch is the Okna 500, but not cheap. If this was your forever home, I might consider it. Windows on Washington has an excellent reputation for quality work and the Okna 500 windows and their doors are some of the best in the business. My second pick would probably be the ProVia Endure. The Aspect and ecoLite are good windows, but I think it's worth the extra $4K to get the premium Endure option (unless your timeline in the home is less than 10 years.)
The Vytex Fortis (GrandView from Window Nation) and the doors is a good option, but for the same price I think I would prefer the ProVia Endure. It might be a toss up for me, but I like the ProVia brand a bit better than Vytex -- ProVia makes an excellent door by the way...

Provia Endure EN600 Cost Quotes
Hi Dane, I have enjoyed your website a lot! I have a house in Las Vegas, NV. I currently have the original aluminum windows that came with the house in the late 1990s, so plan to replace them with new energy efficient windows. I have a total of 9 windows in my house. I received the following bids for windows. Which do you think is the best option to go with?
Brand Series Cost Type
Alside Fairfield 80 $ 6,425.23 Retrofit
Simonton Daylight Max $ 6,980.00 Retrofit
Simonton Daylight Max $ 7,170.00 Retrofit
Alside Mezzo $ 7,352.00 Retrofit
Wincor 5400 $ 8,575.51 Retrofit
Wincore 7700 S (double pane) $ 9,727.16 Retrofit

Marvin Infinity $ 17,644.00 Full replacement
Simonton Daylight Max $ 18,200.00 Full replacement
Andersen renewal $ 30,362.00 Retrofit
Thanks!
Gordon - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Gordon, that is quite a few bids you have there -- amazing how the range is from $6.4K to $30K for the same job! Assuming you are staying in your home long term and assuming the reputation and quality of the installation company is good to great, I would go with the Provia Endure EN600 for $11.3K. This is an excellent windows. It sounds like most of the bids were retrofit, so I'm assuming this is probably the way to go.
If you aren't necessarily staying in the home long term, then I would opt for the Simonton Daylight Max retrofit or the Alside Mezzo retrofit bid (I would decide between these two based on which company doing the work and the better ratings and reputation.) I think these windows are fine if you are going to be leaving in 8 to 10 years.

ProVia Endure Windows
Hey Dane, Just wanted to follow up, had a rep out from one of the companies that came from your site and he quoted me just under $25k for 36 dual pane double hung and 2 dual pane picture ProVia Endure windows. Seems like a pretty decent deal at just under $650 installed.
Thoughts?
I am going to need to send you a gift card for dinner for helping me out of my mess!
Dave - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Dave, that is an excellent deal given todays crazy prices. Just make sure the installation company has good reviews. The ProVia Endure is a very good window and $650 per window is pre-COVID pricing so that's fantastic. No need for the gift card, I make money when you fill out the form so you already gave me a gift card! Again, just make sure the install company is good. Congratulations (and knock on wood so i don't jinx anything...)

Tyrone, I have to say I like the least expensive bid of the bunch. The Provia Endure is an excellent window. I think I might rather have the ProVia Endure in my home over the standard Sunrise. Plus it is thousands less. Assuming the company doing the install with the ProVia enjoys a good reputation, this is the direction I would go myself...

Lynne - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Lynne, this is tricky for me because the price difference that you’re looking at here is what I would expect for these three different windows. All of your options are good though, so that should set your mind at ease.
The Sunrise Restorations is one of the best windows out there and if this were my forever home, this is probably what I would go with. If I were staying in the home for 10 years, I would probably opt for the Amerimax Master Grande option.
I would look for the company that has the best reviews/reputation as another place to differentiate your options. This may complicate your decision, but it’s an important consideration.

ProVia Endure Windows Cost
I eliminated Pella quote for 250 series
And just have 3 bids left to decide on & would love your opinion
For 5 windows pocket installation:
$2748 - midway hawthorne (alliance) u-value .27; air filtration .12
$3373 - provia endure u-value.27, air filtration.05
$4547 - polaris ultraweld u-value .27, air filtration .01
I see you can't beat polaris air filtration but wondering how much difference will it make when majority of windows have already been replace by seller & look like industry standard & i dnt hv reason to replace them.
Im leaning towards provia, but not sure how much of a difference is .12 vs .05
Let me know ur thoughts on which bid looks better value
Thanks so much.
Karla - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Karla, my take on your bids is that your gut is right -- the ProVia Endure is the best value of the bunch. The UltraWeld is a great window and yes unbeatable in the air infiltration, but the ProVia Endure is still a top tier window in my opinion. I think that price point is right for 5 windows with pocket installation. A nice price and a great product.

What do you think of the bids from the two additional companies and their products? I will be checking with Zen windows in Kansas City, also. The bids are so different and the windows are so hard for me to compare. I need something that will last and it is affordable.
Your knowledge and advice is greatly appreciated. Thank you so much!
Steve - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Steve, this is your best bid by far. The Cornerstone Home Improvement using the ProVia Endure for $5462.
TheProVia Endure is a very good window. Better than the Soft-Lite Classic, not as good as the Sunrise Restorations.
I did a quick search on Cornerstone Home Improvement KC reviews and they look like they get some pretty stellar reviews.
I think you're getting closer!

ProVia Endure Bay Window
Thanks for the elucidation! I overlooked one of the estimates ( because I didn't much care for the owner/representative) . Stromberg Windows and Doors will do 2 3x pane bay windows for $10K. 'Provia Endure' . Ever heard of them?
Larry - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Larry, the ProVia Endure is a very nice vinyl window. In my top 20 for sure. Based on the other prices you received, this quote looks great. Certainly worth an extra $1000 over the Simonton 6200.
I checked very briefly and Stromberg Windows and Doors seemed to get very high reviews. Do your due diligence, but from what I am seeing online, they are a quality outfit.

Provia EN600 Series Costs
Hi Dane- We're replacing 5 windows and got a quote for 3 double hung, 1 awning, and 1 slider. All Provia EN600 series. The quote came back at $6800 for the 5 windows. I really like this company as they've treated us well in the past and do really good work. Last year they did a full replacement on 6 picture windows (Marvin Infinity) for 15K. They were a pleasure to work with and give lifetime transferable warranty on their work in addition to Provia and Marvin warranties.
But now that I'm reading through your comments section I'm thinking I'm way over paying for these windows. It's looks like the average installation for Provia EN600 series in the comments section is around $650/window. Is that just inserts or is that full replacement? Our quote is for full replacement not inserts. I tried calling another window company that sells Provia in the area, but they only do Provia inserts and would not quote us on full replacement.
Am I paying too much?
Thanks.
Cary - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Cary, my notion is that you are paying too much. Full frame replacement can be quite expensive though, so it's a bit tough to say definitively that you are pay over market price. My suggestion would be to go out and get some apples to apples bids. The ProVia Endure is an excellent window and I think your price per window is close to market, but very possibly over.
Dane - Site Editor - from 2020

Hey Dane, I have Window Depot of Kansas City offering me Provia Endura Windows for what I think is a decent price. It's 11 windows (9 double hung & 2 Sliders) for $650 per window with removal and installation.

Joe - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Joe, that is a very fair price for the ProVia Endure. Assuming the company has a good reputation and online reviews, this is a solid route. The ProVia Endure is a very good window.

Was wondering if this appears reasonable in your view.
Thanks

ProVia En600 Quote Cost
Hi again, we looked into all the brands you recommended. Since we need to buy wholesale it narrowed the field down quite a bit. The two finalists for our 31 windows are:
Okna 500 $14,000
ProVia En600 $21,000
We saw the Okna windows in person yesterday and I liked them a lot. My husband wants to know what the catch is on the Oknas and why they’re cheaper if they’re better. Any thoughts you can offer are greatly appreciated.
Erin - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Erin, the Okna 500 and the ProVia En600 are pretty comparable windows. Honestly, if I were choosing between these two, I would pick the Okna 500 every day of the week. The ProVia Endure is awesome though. In this case, there is really no choice. Why is the Okna cheaper -- because window dealers are free to charge whatever they want....and consumers are free to pick the cheaper one :)
Btw, that's a smoking dealer on the Okna 500! It's actually not a good price on the ProVia, but a fantastic price on the Okna. Good for you.

ProVia Endure Pricing
Dane, another question on the window project. Got ProVia Endure down to about 680 per window with lots of tempered glass for 20 windows
Another contractor gave me estimate to replace aluminum clad wood sashes and repair rot. Price is around 400 for new wood sash, low e366 glass, aluminum cladding, and spot repair. Painting will be required on the aluminum clad to match house and inside to protect the wood.
Our plan is 7-10 years, maybe longer in the house. I would prefer to pay once for the window work, wether new or sash replace.
What is your experience with just doing sash replacements like this? I dont want to save 280.00 only to have to redo things again later or deal with maintenance issues?
Advice is appreciated
Jel - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Jel, If the contractor is experienced with sash replacement then yes. It all depends on the quality of the sashes and frames. It's too tricky for me to say without taking a closer look at it. I wish I had a better answer for you.

We live in Maryland and are replacing 14 double hungs and a single picture window in our townhome in Maryland. I've collected four estimates per your advice. I'd love some help sorting through them.
Simonton PerfeXion: $8,650
Simonton Reflection 5500L: $9,050
Provia Endure EN600 601: $10,946
Soft-Lite Classic: $13,559
Thank you.

[Site Editor's Answer]
Brielle, you have quite a number of good bids there. The Simonton Perfexion comes in three different models, but since you have a bid on the Simonton Reflection 5500L for just $500 more, this would be my selection between these two. However, the ProVia Endure is an excellent window and well worth the extra $2000. This would be my pick over the others, assuming the instillation of the windows is the same.

Jim, the ProVia Endure is the better designed window. I'd spend the extra $25 per window for sure.

Provia Endure Window Pricing
We're replacing 6 double hung windows, 1 casement and one three window double hung fixed frame double hung combo. These are my two bids and I was curious which one you'd suggest I go with.
Viwinco Cambridge: $5100
Provia Endure: $4500
Steve - Homeowner - from 2018
[Site Editor's Answer]
Steve, even if the two windows were the same price, the ProVia Endure would be the preferred window over the Viwinco Cambridge in my opinion.

Provia Endure Window Costs
Replacing 20 windows on our renovation project. Here are the two bids we have so far.
Provia Endure: $12,000
Bill Haynes Company Ultra Elite 9000: $12,500
Jane - Homeowner - from 2018
[Site Editor's Answer]
Jane, I'd go with the ProVia Endure, which is a great window. I don't anything about the Bill Haynes Company, nor about the Ultra Elite 9000 window.

ProVia Endure or OKNA 600 Eco-Pro
I have two bids -- the PROVIA Endure and the OKNA Eco-Pro 600 series. 6 windows are large, 8 are medium, and 10 are medium to odd shaped. 26 windows in total. Lots of installation issues that need working out.
Provia Endure: $19,490
OKNA Series 600: $20,544
Mary - Homeowner - from 2018
[Site Editor's Answer]
Mary, both bids seem pretty solid if the installation work is extensive. I would probably be inclined to go with the Okna over the ProVia, but it would be close.

Provia Endure vs Marvin Infinity
We have a 100+year old farmhouse (western PA) with close to or original wood windows that need to be replaced. We have 19 windows and have the following quotes (all over the board)
Window World: $10k
Provia Endure: $18-19k approximate and will get final bid next week (they're the "salesman" type people that come out twice)
Marvin Infinity replacements (with the everwood) $24.5 before upgrades (probably an additional $3-4k to get the metal fixtures and higher visibility screens in the few windows we want and tempered glass in a few windows, but if we don't worry about the screens I will want the metal fixtures which is an additional $1.7 k at least.
All of them look like wood but none are (the Marvin are stainable so we can get a better match to our interior frame, but the others are close). Window world are obviously the cheapest, but the warranty is really good. They don't come with metal fixtures even as an upgrade and I can just tell they aren't terribly good quality.
The ProVia Endure is (relatively) new but is supposed to be their most energy efficient yet.
The installers of the higher two are supposed to be really good as far as our companies in this area are concerned.
Anyone have any opinions for me?
Leah - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Leah, Window World sells either the Alside Excalibur or the Xact 1650 (I think this is the model) -- both of which are poor windows in my opinion. They will cost you more money and headaches in the long run. The warranty doesn't really mean much to be quite honest with you, not after 8 or 9 years, which is when most of the problems start.
ProVia makes a good window and I agree with you about the energy efficiency. I like this option, especially given the quality installation/reputation they offer.
The Marvin Infinity is a very nice fiberglass window, however it is also quite a bit more expensive -- not surprising.
I think those are your two choices, ProVia or Marvin. You just have to decide whether the Marvin is worth the extra money. If it were me, I would see if I could get the ProVia rep (or Marvin rep) to come down on their price to sweeten the deal and then I'd pull the trigger.

Provia Aluminum Windows Prices
The ProVia storm window is considered one of the better aluminum storm windows and is essentially an insert that is placed on the outside of the existing window. (In some cases, homeowners may choose to place them on the inside of the existing window.) They offer three profiles, including a slider, a picture window or a double-hung triple track . Their storms can be ordered in 16 color options and are quite well made and constructed. Compare the ProVia storm series to Larsen storm window prices.

Provia Door Prices
ProVia Doors Cost
Hello, looking at a ProVia fiberglass door (36 inch)with sidelights and level 8 privacy glass. New quality , too. All new hardware and wood trim. Custom build is more expensive, I know, yet…does estimate of $14k seem reasonable?
Thanks.
Ron - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Ron, $14K for a door is very expensive. Custom builds though can REALLY jump up in cost. I would keep searching, especially if you are talking about a specific sized door as some companies standard are other companies customs, if that makes sense.
My top picks for patio doors would include the Soft-Lite Kingsroyal, ProVia Endure, Sunrise Patio Doors, Okna Elegante, and Kensington HPP Sliding Patio Door.

ProVia Window Costs vs. Alside
Hi Dane, saw your posts on windows and really appreciated them. I have quotes on Provia windows and also Alside Mezzo.
My situation: My windows are 30 years old. They are ready to be replaced, though I don’t want to sell an organ to purchase them. I don’t anticipate I will live in my home over 10 years, although one never knows. If I sell my home, I will need to pay for replacement windows either way.
I don’t want to purchase cheap windows, although I don’t feel I need top of the line either. One preference I do have is that I would like them to match my siding which is a clay color versus being the standard white, although in the interior I would like them to be white.
Price is my main factor as I had 19 windows that I need to replace and a quote for Mezzo for $12,500 and a quote from Provia for 17 windows for $24,000.
Thoughts?
Thank you so much as all of this shopping and the dollar amounts are a bit overwhelming!
Ann - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Ann, I understand your concerns. Prices are pretty crazy during this particular economic cycle so there is always that to factor in. I think the best way to optimize your chances of receiving a fair price is to get three more bids to compare to the two you already have. The Mezzo bid sounds like about what I would expect from them and the ProVia bid sounds quite high to me.
To that end, here is my list of good and great windows: contact Dane for his window list.]

ProVia vs. Okna 500
Hi Tim, I’m having trouble deciding on a window. I need 7 windows replaced, I want something that is going to last and be efficient in a triple pane. My sister has mastic windows in her house that was installed in 1993 still work great. I have looked at Okna 500, Provia, Simonton, Alslide. Bids range from 5800 to 6200. What do you recommend and what is a fair price for what I’m looking for? Thank you
Michael - Homeowner - from 2018
[Site Editor's Answer]
Michael, the Okna is the best of the bunch. Then ProVia (but that depends on the actual window series from them), then Simonton (but again that depends on the actual window series). I'm not a huge fan of Alside for the most part, but there again they make lots of different window models.
The prices are all pretty similar so I'm assuming that's your fair market price. So for me its the Okna 500, which is really a great vinyl window.
Now, let's see if we can't drop that price a bit.
