Replacement Vinyl Window Brands
 
My wife and I are trying to make a decision on replacement windows to
put into a 100 year old house we're buying. Our research is showing
there's ton's of windows companies out there. Has anyone heard of or
have reccomendations for any of the following brands:

- Newpro
- Mastic
- National Vinyl
- Diamond
- Vermont Vinyl
- Park Avenue

Any input would be appreciated.

Consumer Reports online worth reading, worth the price of admission,
before spending thousands and finding the brand you picked condenses at
a lower temp than your old Andersons. I bought Pellas Pro line , I
should have stuck to Andersons.

Many other factors and ratings go into a good window.

None of the above. Save yourself the aggravation and go with Andersen. The
reason many companies are more successful than others is because their quality
is better, so they don't spend a ton of money fending off unhappy customers.
That said, consider Pella. Their window performance on some of my properties
has been very good indeeed. YMMV.

Any thoughts on Milgard, like how they stack up against Andersen?

Faced with the same issue, I went with Eagle (www.eaglewindow.com). A true
divided lite, double hung, tilt-in sash.

I looked for a long time as I'm replacing some original windows (some 16 over
2) in a 130yr old Victorian on the Registry.

Also, less expensive than Anderson.

Regards,
Joe
