| We went with our builder today to look at windows. His brother is a regional repair guy for Windsor Windows and speaks highly of them (he's not in our region, so he's not cashing in from that) They use Windsor Windows almost exclusively in their builds here. They also tout that they are locally built (we're in Des Moines, Iowa) But then again we have Pella and Jeld Wen nearby so that isn't a huge selling point to me. The major building center that we were at spoke very highly of Windsor also. Sounds great, but as I look on here and online I see many negative comments on them. Have they improved? Are their vinyl better than their wood? (One of the most common issues I see is wood rot, so if we do vinyl this perhaps is a non-issue) It sounds like Marvin is the gold standard in windows, and I would be interested in getting a price on them, but budget is always an issue too. We're looking at approx 30 double hung windows. We're leaning towards vinyl.
There seems to be SO MANY window companies it is driving me crazy trying to figure it all out.
I told the building center and the builer that I would be researching Windsor and get back to them.
Thanks for any input! |

| We will be using Windsor Windows in our new home. We're doing extruded aluminum clad windows, so I don't know anything about vinyl. We looked at allthe major brands. The Marvin and Kolbe & Kolbe were very nice but a bit out of our price range. |

I have Winsor windows in my house and have had bad luck with them. They are 11 years old and must be replaced.
I know 3 other people with the same alum clad windows, they all replaced there window after 10 years. Thats why there cheap, you get what you pay for. |

| Are they Windsor windows? If so, I would start with them. If not, I would try the following. http://www.strybuc.com/ https://www.blainewindow.com//index.cfm? |
