Vytex Window Prices
Vytex window prices range from the mid to higher end of the cost of vinyl windows. Vytex is considered a good manufacturer in the vinyl market, but not necessarily a top manufacturer such as Okna or Soft-Lite. Vytex is probably a slight step up from say Simonton.

Vytex Georgetown Windows Prices
The Vytex Georgetown series is the company's entry level vinyl window that delivers a U factor of 0.30 and air infiltration of .09 with their standard glass package (both decent numbers for an entry level window.) It uses a sloped sill (much preferred to a pocket or capture sill), along with a Duralite spacer. The downside on the window is a less robust main frame than on their better windows, single strength glass, and a cheaper lock.
All in all, the Vytex Georgetown is not bad for an entry level window, but the Fortis and Potomac-hp series from Vytex are much preferred. On the West Coast, this might be comparable to the Styleline from Milgard Windows.

Vytex Mid Grade Price Quote
Ok just finished with a window nation salesman. For 19 windows (there vytex mid grade can remember model number) $23k
They popped up on your site after using your estimator so I gave them a call.

I'd say it's an okay first bid. Expensive for a mid grade vinyl window -- keep collecting a few more bids to see whether their bid is actually fair market price or overpriced. I'm inclined to say it's overpriced though...

Vytex Georgetown vs. Earthwise
Hi Dane, I'm looking to replace 21 windows in Columbia, MD (17 double hung and 4 casement).
I had presidential exteriors come over and give a quote and three hours later they priced the job at $20,500 for their Vytex Georgetown model. ($18,500 if I agreed on the spot)
Weather master seems to be popular in Maryland so I will be reaching out for a quote for their Earthwise window line.
Is there anyone else I should contact or a particular window to look for? I'm looking for a medium quality vinyl.
Tina - Homeowner - from 2022
[Website Editor Answers]
Tina, the Vytex Georgetown series is a good window, but I would definitely get a few more bids before you pull the trigger. $1K plus for the Vytex Georgetown seems quite high to me. Let's see how the Earthwise bid comes in at and then go from there.

Kenton, I would say this is the bid price I’ve been seeing as of late from Window Nation, but I don’t particularly think of it as a great deal. If this were my project, I would pocket this bid and collect several others for comparison.

Working with your quote form now. Thanks. I did get Windows Nation to come down to 17900. What are you seeing a project around this size going for now?

Kenton, the $17.9K actually strikes me as a fair price for the project specs that you indicated…

Vytex Georgetown Series Quote
Good Morning Dane, thank you for responding to my message in such detail. I'm sure you've encountered people who have gotten fatigued trying to decide on exactly what to buy given the cost involved and all of the options. In that regard, based on what you wrote and other information I've been able to gather on Vytex windows,
I'm already leaning toward the Vytex Georgetown model, which is how Window Nation is now advertising it. While it isn't top tier, everything I've come across rates it as a solid performer, so I doubt it will be a window that starts to fail in 15 years or less, and I like the idea that it will preserve an additional 1/2 of my marble window sills. In order to respect your time, instead of sending you a bunch of bids and asking for your opinion, I'll let you comment on what's going on with my bid from Window Nation and I'll use it as a baseline against which I can weight all others.
For seven 2L sliders which includes obscured glass for the bathroom, I was quoted $9187 minus $4490 in "incentives" for a total of $4697 which is good for a week. For the Fortis model, it is $6588, which is definitely outside my budget.
There was a slight problem with this since my two windows that measure 68" wide were supposed to be in three sections at 1/4, 1/2, 1/4. The price was adjusted to $558 extra for each window totaling $1116 to change both. That does sound much too high so I'll see if I can get the $558 reduced by at least the same percent as the aforementioned "incentives".
As near as I can tell, Window Nation doesn't sell the Georgetown with an option to have it foam filled, and given the price adjustment I just mentioned, I have a feeling it'll also be on the extreme side. Would such an addition also be in the $75 to $100 range per window? Furthermore, I contacted Vytex's Headquarters to find other dealers and when I told them I was working with Window Nation they said that presented a conflict of interest and wouldn't provide any information on local dealers in Pittsburgh, so finding another company selling Vytex is proving more difficult than I thought.
I have scheduled an appointment with an Okna dealer but it is after the $4697 price expires. Based on this bid and what you know about these matters, is it likely I'll get an Okna dealer or Zen Windows (Soft-lite?) to be in the ballpark? The Simonton and Polaris are much too bulky for my taste so I've ruled them out already.
Just two quick asides. Thermo Twin is a local company that prides itself on being employee owned. In any case, their windows have an R35 rating which is far below the Georgetown's R45 and the Fortis' R50, so Thermo Twin is also out of the running. Secondly, is the window installation business really booming right now? It seems each company I've contacted claims they're running like gangbusters.
In closing, thanks so much for taking the time to respond to my inquiry. I hope you're doing well in your business model and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Take care.
John - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
John, the Georgetown is a solid performer as you said. I think you can make that work if that's what you decide to go with. Foam fills are not worth an extra $75 per window, that's too much. I believe you can fill out a very simple form on Vytex's website and find local dealers.
Window bids are impossible to tell, that's what I've learned in 25 years in the business. That's why I always say get a bunch. Sometimes those Okna bids are high and sometimes they are incredibly reasonable. It boggles the mind, but there are all kinds of issues at play that dictate how that bid comes in, some have nothing to do with your project.
The entire home improvement industry is really busy right now. Covid has everyone at their homes and looking to do home projects so bids are high. Keep looking and maybe one of those Zen series or Okna bids will be a better deal.

Vytex Georgetown Price Quote
We recently got a quoted for the Vytex Georgetown from a company called Window Nation. It included 15 double hung windows and one patio sliding door, and one horizontal sliding window.

Joe - Homeowner - from 2018

Joe, I'd say that's a pretty fair price on a decent but not great window. You might be able to haggle some on that price, just to see if it is indeed their best price.

Vytex Grandview Windows Prices
The Grandview window is typically sold by Window Nation, but made by Vytex. It isn't uncommon for a company to sell a relabeled window and in this case, the Grandview model is a good vinyl window. I wouldn't put it into the great category, but it is a solid performer and consumers can expect a .26 U-factor and .08 air infiltration rating.
The Grandview is a step down from their Fortis and Potomac-hp, but it is still a very solid vinyl window that should provide nice long term value -- depending on the price point.

Vytex Grandview Cost vs. Marvin Essential Window
Hi Dane, I hope this email finds you well. I am shopping for window and wanted run this by you after reading your website.
I live in suburb of Philadelphia and looking to replace 13 normal size windows total: 12 double hung and 1 casement. WN quoted me $18000 for Vytex Grandview yesterday including everything with install with buy 2 get 2 deal they advertised. So about $1400 per window installed.
Based on some of your recent post this seems almost outrageous given the deal. On the other hand rough estimate for same size Marvin essential was $1500 / window installed.
So my questions are 1) what do you think should be the price for Vytex Grandview 2) your recommendation on Vytex vs Marvin.
Thank you so much for your help!
Ken - Homeowner - from 2022
[Website Editor Answers]
Ken, the Vytex bid is too high. The Marvin bid is about what I would expect from them. (My own take is that there are better;) My own take is you need two to three more bids to see what else is out there and what other prices/bids you can garner. Window companies are throwing out crazy bids lately and I think saying you are collecting multiple bids let's the companies know they need to bring their best price at the initial meeting.

Vytex Grandview Window Prices
Hi Tim and Dane, my wife and I live in Maryland. We're in the process of selecting replacement windows for our 2-story colonial home which was built in 1987. We still have the original Anderson 200 Series Double-Hung windows. They've served us well, but it's time for an upgrade!
Your website has been tremendously helpful, with so much information organized in one location. Without it, it sure feels like the "wild west" trying to research replacement window options, specifications, reviews, and pricing. Thank you!
We've received a number of quotes, and would really appreciate your perspective and guidance as we make our final decision. We plan to remain in our home for the foreseeable future and are looking for a good quality window that will perform well and last.
Here are the quotes we've received for 14 Double Hung Windows:
Renewal by Anderson: $26,562
Wincore 7700S: $12,708
Vytex Potomac: $12,396
Power Home Remodeling: $11,700
Sunrise U-Glass: $10,891
Vytex Grandview: $9,596
Revere Berkshire Elite: $8,393
We've ruled out Renewal and Revere, but would appreciate your perspective on the products shaded in green. Are there any others you'd suggest we take a look at?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
Dave - Homeowner - from 2020
[Website Editor Answers]
Hi Dave, those are some solid bids. Not cheap, but a good grouping, which tells me that those mid prices are probably market value for your project. The Sunrise is the best value in my opinion. My second pick in terms of long term value would be the Vytex Potomac. However, Sunrise makes a very solid window and assuming good installation, these windows should serve you well for a long long time.
If this were my project, I would go back to the Sunrise dealer and tell him your budget for this project was $10,000 and ask if there is anyway he could get down to that price. If he can, tell him you are all ready to sign the work order and that you are flexible on project date. See what he says....

Vytex Grandview Bid

It comes standard with a true welded slope sill, injected foam sash, a Duralite spacer, and mortised sill wall. Expect a U-factor of 0.26, 0.53 on visible transmittance, 0.29 SHGC, .04 air infiltration, and a DP R-50 rating - all very impressive numbers. The Fortis is one of my picks for

Vytex Fortis Windows Cost
Dane, here are the estimates I got for 25 windows:
MI Window Bid - $19,500
Softlite Nirvana Bid - $17,000
Simonton 5500 Bid - $16,600
Vytex Fortis Bid - $16,000
Insigna Window Bid - $26,000 (triple pane, they don't make double pane)
Out of 25 windows, 11 of them need bottom sashes to be tempered glass per code cause they are less than 18" off the floor. MI and Vytex Fortis pricing included the tempered glasses for 11 windows, but others did not even mention that tempered glasses are needed so they might now aware of code guidelines.
Sri - Homeowner - from 2022

Sri, my first choice in these would be the Vytex Fortis for $16,000 and includes the tempered glass. Excellent deal if the installation company is reputable.

Please advise on this product an price.
Thank you.
Adrienne - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Adrienne, great window, not such a great price. Definitely look for some more bids to find out why that bid is so much. The job may be complicated, but even so, that is a hefty per window quote. You will notice the Vytex Fortis is listed in my great category below, but I'm not convinced you should be paying over $1000 per window. But, again, you might have lots of work involved, so the additional bids will provide a framework to understand the fair market price of your project.

Vytex Fortis Windows Cost
Hi Dane, I was so glad to find your site. Navigating the world of replacement windows can be a bit overwhelming. We have 3 quotes so far.
Window Nation offered Great Lakes Comfort Smart windows with grids - 16 windows installed $12,990
Clearview offered Okna 800 windows with grids - 16 windows installed $13,900
Clearview offered Okna 500 windows with grids - 16 windows installed $11,765
We are getting one more quote from BGE Home for the Vytex Fortis window.
Can you provide input on which quote seems to be a better value? Is the Vytex Fortis of comparable quality to the other 3 windows?
If you were to rank the windows I've mentioned from best window on down how would you rank them? Many thanks for any input you can provide!
Tresa - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Tresa, the Vytex Fortis is probably equal to the Okna 500, which is quite a bit better than the Great Lakes Comfort Smart series. Your lowest bid with the Okna 500 right now offers the best value. The 800 is a nice upgrade if you can afford it, but not necessary in my opinion. The Okna 500 is a fantastic window and one that I would have in my own home.

Hi Dane and Tim, I've been looking over your website this past week and love the information you provide! I could really use your expertise in choosing my windows.
Here's my pickle:
Three companies have offered three different windows for roughly the same price.
Window Nation is offering us Great Lakes Harbor Light
Windows Express is offering Berkshire Elite
American Windows & Siding of VA is offering Vytex Fortis.
I'm having trouble comparing these brands. Is there a better window out of these options? I live in Maryland and plan to stay in the home for the next 5-10 years.

Hi Dane, looking for some assistance on final window decision, location SouthWest PA. Moving in 5-7 years. Live on windy hill so focused on AI #s. Asked for mid to lower mid range window options, and willing to consider better models for a 10-15% increase in cost if better quality/technology. Specified range of $400-550/window as target range. Hoped to make decision this week as I have already spent too many hours researching suppliers and installers … way too many choices! (and I like choices)
I have 18 white vinyl builder-grade windows to replace. 8 DH with grids/screens, 8 DH with screens, 2 hoppers with screens. All suppliers A rated through Angies List and BBB.

Window universe Revere Berkshire elite 2 $9400 (Mezzo copy with block and tackle lifting), lifetime warranty (parts)
Weatherseal Alside Mezzo $9500, lifetime warranty transferrable (parts)
Zen Nirvana $10310, lifetime warranty (parts)
Local company 1 Alside Mezzo $10000, lifetime warranty (parts), 3 years labor

Local company 2 Alside Mezzo $8400, lifetime warranty (parts), 2 years labor
Alside Fusion $7800, 20 year non-transferrable warranty
Local company 3 Alside Mezzo $7000, lifetime warranty (parts), 5 years labor
Tried finding installers of Vytex, Okna, provia without success. Mfr websites are poor for guiding you to local dealers without providing all my info and then getting bombarded by contractor calls for next 3 months.
What do you think?
Thanks!
Paul - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Paul, my three selections in order would be as follows:
The Vytex Fortis $11000, lifetime warranty (parts), 3 years labor, followed by the Zen Nirvana $10310, lifetime warranty (parts) and finally the Alside Mezzo $7000, lifetime warranty (parts), 5 years labor.
The Alside Mezzo selection would bump to the top if your time in the home is 7 years or less. If this is your long term home, then I'd go with the Vytex Fortis or the Zen Nirvana.

Vytex Fortis Pricing vs. Zen Nirvana
Hey guys, I appreciate all your insight and the reviews/comparisons you provide. We are shopping for new windows in the Cincinnati area and I believe we have it narrowed down to 2 brands/manufacturers after several different quotes and a few painful demonstrations.
There are 18 total windows to be replaced - 16 double hung and 2 4x4 picture windows. We received a quote for the Vytex Fortis that came in $8600 for windows, installation, and removal. We also received a quote from Zen Nirvana for $9500 for windows, installation, and removal. Both have full lifetime, transferable warranties. Based on specs and price the Vytex seems like the better option, but I haven't been able to find much information around a parent company. I know that the Zen is a Soft-lite product which comes with a very good reputation.
Derek - Homeowner - from 2017
[Site Editor's Answer]
Derek, but of those quotes look very solid, nice price point on each (although I would still see if there is wiggle room to save yourself some additional money.) Vytex is a smaller company out of Maryland, but pretty well respected in the industry. I think the Vytex Fortis quote is the better one. A lower air infiltration number and equal in terms of U-factor and design pressure (I'm not completely sure on this last one). Plus it's the cheaper of the two. The Soft-Lite Classic is a good window to be sure, but I think the Fortis is the better of the two at a lower price point. Assuming you like the Vytex rep and/or company installing the windows, I think that's your winner.

Vytec Potomac hp Windows Cost Quote
Hello. Window nation just quoted me $17k for 14 double hung Vytec Potomac hp windows and a sliding glass patio door. Can you tell me if this is a good deal?
Thank you for your time.

Lashia, that's a good price from what I'm seeing lately. The Vytex Potomac-hp is on of the best windows out there and patio doors can be pricey. I'm not saying you shouldn't find a couple more bids to compare it to, but I think that is a very solid bid -- especially if the Window Nation branch you are having install it has good to great ratings/reviews. If you would like some additional bids, I can give you some suggestions of brands to look at...

Vytek Potomac vs. ProVia Endure
Thanks Dane- these are all our quotes we received. Would love your opinion on the best option now that we have all the quotes. We want to minimize glass loss but also want to have a good quality window. I’m including the Andersen and Pella lifestyle quotes in here so hopefully it may help others but we aren’t going with them.
This is for 27 windows- 3 picture, 1 sliding 2 casement and 21 double hung.

Leslie, my pick here is the Potomac-hp for $23.5K. Second is the ProVia Endure for $24.7K. Both of these are truly excellent windows and based on the price quotes you have here, these seem to be the best value of the bunch --

Vytex Window Double Hung Cost
What is the cost of a vytex window double hung 47.5x 23.5? From low to high, or average cost… I am under contract but was told I am being snookered!
Margaret - Homeowner - from 2022
[Website Editor Answers]
Margaret, it really depends on what series window you are being quoted on. For instance, the premium Vytex Ptomac HP should run perhaps $500 to $700 for that sized window installed. Truth be told, you need a number of bids to actually know the true market price of your project -- there are so many factors that go into pricing that it is difficult to drill down on a per window price without a few bids.

Vytex Potomac Price Quote
Hi Dane, your website has been tremendously helpful in our replacement window search process. Thank you for all the good information.
Some of the best brands recommended by your site (Okna, Softlight, Sunrise) are not available in my area, so I settled on Vytex Potomac. I got a quote of $10k for 10 double-hung windows. Is this a reasonable price? I don't have much room for negotiation as this is the only Vytex dealer in my area. I just want to make sure that I'm not getting ripped off.
Your input is greatly appreciated. Thanks.
Best.
Sophie - Homeowner - from 2021
[Site Editor's Answer]
Sophie, while I can't say for certain that this is a good price, this is about the price I'm seeing as of late. Much higher than normal is my honest answer. To that end, here is my list of good and great windows if you wanted to see if one or two of these brands are available in your area. The Vytex Potomac-hp is a very good window though and I think this is definitely a bid to strongly consider.

Vytex Potomac HP Price Quote
Dane, my project involves replacing 16 casement windows (6-single, 6-double, and 4-triple), 3 awning windows, and a sliding patio door. All quotes involve custom exterior color, wood-look interior.
Company A – Sun-light Imperial LS (no patio door on quote); pocket install - $30k
Company B – Okna 700; pocket install - $55k
Company C – Sunrise Restoration; full frame install - $45k
Company D – Vytex Potomac HP; pocket install - $35k
I have already eliminated Renewal by Anderson and Revere.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Pat - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Pat, hi, great quality quotes all around. So the Soft-Lite Imperial LS quote is a really good one. Let's put the patio door at $3000 and put the total bid at $33K. The Vytex Potomac HP is an excellent window/door and you have that at $35K.
The Restoration is an excellent window as well and they are charging $10 for the full replacement. That's the big question here -- pocket install or full frame? Since three of the four are suggesting pocket installs, I'm guessing this is the way to go. You lose some glass area, but it saves you $10K.
Not knowing anything about the installation companies, I'd go with the Imperial LS, the Potomac HP, and then the Restoration bid. The Okna quote looks too high to me.
However, because the quality of the windows are all so close, if this were my project, I'd be basing my decision on which company was going to do the best job on the install.

Billy, wow you have out done yourself on the bids. Good for you. What an array of prices! The lowest three bids are excellent. The VYtex Potomac hp is a great window, but hard to compete with that Okna 500 bid.

Vytex Potomac HP Window Costs
Hello, I just received a quote for the Vytex Potomac HP replacement windows. I have 16 windows and the proposed amount was roughly $8750 making each window about $546. Removal of old windows, spray foam, caulking, ect. Is included in this price. I was wondering what you thought about this price and also the Potomac HP series. We do plan on staying in our home long term.
Dave - Homeowner - from 2018
[Website Editor Answers]
Dave, honestly that's a really good price on the Potomac-hp window. The Potomac-hp is a top tier window that I would typically expect to go for $600 to $750 for normal replacement. $550 is a very competitive price. Assuming the company doing the install has a good reputation, I say go for it! Especially since you guys are staying there long term.

We have fifteen casements that need to be replaced. I have three pretty solid bids, but can't seem to figure out which is the best one.

Simonton Reflections 5500 Series: $10,995

Peter, the Vytex Potomac series is the best value of the three. I'd avoid the Reliabilt 3900 series.

[Site Editor's Answer]
Gertrude, of the bids you have, the two I like most are the Vytex Potomac hp: $565 and Soft-Lite Pro: $615. In fact, I would rate the Vytex Potomac hp as the best of the bunch and the price is one of the lowest. I'd say this is the clear winner in my book!

Vytex Potomoc Costs
Hi, have the following quote: 11 windows
Okna 500 series deluxe - 5200
Vytex Fortis- 5450
Okna 800 deluxe- 5850
Vytex Potomac- 5850
All pricing includes installation and debris removal.
Wonder what you think of the Vytex vs Okna and the value of the upgrades of each. Thanks very much. Learned a lot on this site.
Dave - Homeowner - from 2016
[Site Editor's Answer]
Dave, the Vytex Potomac is is very good window, but the Okna 800 Deluxe is the clear winner. The Okna 500 is also very good. The Fortis is at the bottom of this grouping, but still not a bad window. The 800 though is the way to go and that's a very good price to boot!

Vytex Titan Windows Prices

Vytex Titan Cost Quote
I just had a quote on the Vytex Titan. 18 windows for a little over $13,000. 4 of the 18 are actually 2 double windows, that salesman said are welded together. Also included are "GRIDS".
He said wherever I choose to buy my windows to make sure they are sealed at all corners as well as without coated metal as it tends to rust quickly. Lots of other info given but it was somewhat confusing. Does this sound reasonable and a good product for a replacement window estimate?
Deecee - Homeowner - from 2019
[Site Editor's Answer]
Deecee, I've actually never heard of the Vytex Titan window. The company offers three windows, the Potomac-hp, the Fortis and the Georgetown series. If you call up the Vytex rep and ask them which model the Titan is (I'm guessing it's one of these models, but simply a relabel). It's possible that there are some minor tweaks to the Titan that separates it from one of these three standard window series. If you can tell me which model it is, I can tell you if the $13K is a decent price.
I'll say this though, you should get a couple more bids from local companies in order to truly know if the Vytex bid is competitive. There are too many unknowns with one bid. Three or four will give the proper comparison to really look at pricing and winnow out any outliers (there are always one or two that are just too expensive for what you're getting).

[Site Editor's Answer]
Shafi, that's a pretty decent bid price on the face of it -- The Vytex Fortis is a very good window -- I wouldn't say it's the best estimate price I've ever heard of, but its definitely in the ballpark, especially if the instation company has a good to great reputation. I'd still probably get two more bids to compare it to--
