Jeld Wen vs Milgard Windows
Jeld Wen vs Milgard Windows - do these two well known brands stack up on company structure, what they sell, how they market, and what they cost. Let's take a closer look.
Bottom Line: Both Jeld Wen and Milgard were founded on the West Coast (Oregon and Arizona, respectively). Jeld Wen is the much bigger and much more well known nationally. I would give the nudge to Milgard in terms of overall reputation - only because Jeld Wen's vinyl windows are more budget focused over Milgards. Jeld Wen does a great job with doors though, where Milgard doesn't necessarily excel in this sector.

What They Sell
Jeld Wen sells vinyl, wood clad and aluminum windows. While their vinyl windows are considered builder grade, their wood clad and aluminum windows are considered to be good quality. Their wood-clad series are treated with an auralast that allows them to carry a lifetime warranty (unique in the window business). While their wood and aluminum options are certainly not top tier, they are nonetheless decent to good quality.
Milgard sells four different vinyl window lines: their entry level Styleline, mid range Tuscany and Trinsic series, and their premium Homemaker series. The company is best known for the Tuscany and Trinsic series. (Click to explore the Milgard Trinsic vs Tuscany.)
