Marvin either Ultimate's (downside is expensive) or Integrity by Marvin. Andersen depending on the series would be in the top 5 but not near the top. What do you want the windows to look like, what stile of window, what type of material; do you want the window made from, what are you looking for in a window?

Good advice above. For a wood interior I love the Marvin options. If elite performance is on the top of your list premium vinyl should be a consideration as well... The place to start would be as MWM said to decide what you want your window to look like, your priorities for the project, etc and go from there.

Thanks for the replies! We definitely want good vinyl, double hung windows. With it being a new house, quality is very important. Energy efficiency is next important, thinking possibly argon gas between the panes. We are considering a grid pattern in the glass in some windows and would like input on blinds inside the windows as well.
Overall, I want good windows that are going to last a long time (the windows in my parents 26 y/o house are in great condition and want the same for my house).

If you are thinking vinyl, the often discussed and highly regarded brands are Okna, Soft-Lite, Sunrise, and HiMark.

Each of them have new construction options and can be shipped to just about any location.

Windowsonwashington, which of those brands are the best quality? What would you put in your home?

My home is not due for windows just yet but I did put the Okna window in my Aunt's home.

She loves them and I wanted her to have what I think is the best in her home.

I'd agree with windows on Washington regarding the top choices. They are all in the same top tier of quality and performance so you won't go wrong with any of them, but I also personally favor the okna/HiMark. I do have them in my own home :)

This is what I have to say to you sir....
