Don Young windows?

16 years ago

Has anyone any experience with Don Young windows? We have started pricing new windows and the company that did our siding uses mainly Don Young windows. I have never heard of them before.

We got an estimate from Statewide for windows and their windows were between $800 and $1000 installed. That seemed very high to me. They were Quantum2.

I'm pretty sure the Quantunm 2 windows are made by Kensington. The price quoted seems a little high $800 to $1000.. I would definitely get other prices. Also check out there ratings on the NFRC site...Here is a link to the

Call back the salesman and find out the manufacture,model so you can confirm the numbers he gave you....

We received a quote yesterday on 21 double hung Kensington windows double pane, low E and Argon at less than $500 ea. Your quoted price seems rather high.
I'm in MA.

When I built our new home in East Texas two years ago I heavily researched windows and determined that Don Young offered the best quality-to-cost ratio. Because they are local I went to the factory, toured the showroom and asked a myriad of questions before purchasing. Their windows are of exceptional quality with outstanding thermal properties and have far exceeded our expectations. The fit of every component is flawless and they perform admirably in keeping our home cool in summer and warm in winter. For example: Because our downstairs Central Air is not yet installed, we were forced to cool 1600 square feet with a 6,000 BTU window unit (small bedroom size). I expected it to cool one room but was amazed to find it could maintain the entire floor at a comfortable temperature, in spite of a wall of windows on the western exposure that gets the full impact of afternoon sun. I can't comment on the cost per unit you are referring to because so much depends on size, styling, and component choices, but I don't believe you'll find a better buy in windows, anywhere.

I have been representing Don Young windows for over a year now in the Houston area. I have competed against the big box folks as well as a host of other mfg's. Don Young isn't perfect (who is) but I always got my issues resolved to my (I hold a higher standard than most clients) satisfaction. They stand behind their product with lifetime warranties. I am also blessed with fabulous installers. Last but not least, price hasn't been an issue in winning deals.

Statewide is always going to be one of the higher priced options. You can do much better, both in price and quality of workmanship.

Don Young makes a good vinyl window, mid-grade in my opinion. If you're looking for a premium grade product, Sunrise is available in most of Texas.

My question is why does Kevin256 dig up a 5 year old post, or did I miss something?
