Replacement Windows Pay for Them-self

[Fly Rod]

I was in the home building industry for 35 years, Pella SU@#S. Anderson gives you 20 years no questions ask when and if the window or sliding door fails and they will send you the replacement to your door.

As far as vinyl replacement windows, you can not beat the Harvey vinly replacement or their wood interior model. I had installed over 2,000 vinyl replacement windows from Harvey and never had a call back.

Even tho I'm a wood window person, being from the old school you can not beat vinyl, is final.

Mike, I hate to tell you, but I am one of a number of local contractors who will not even install Pella windows. Here's why...
There are two houses on the Neck here, one new construction, one a total rehab, different contractors. Both are oceanfront, both had multiple windows fail in a matter of weeks. Pella said it was installer error. Pella had their installer replace them at contractors' cost. Both had failures again. Both are in court fighting Pella. Both houses have had Marvins installed. Pella just won't stand by their warranty, or their product. Furthermore, their awning window is their casement turned sideways, no change of operator position.... I know their regional rep too. Local guy, striper fisherman. But no help when problems arise. Always throwing contractors under the bus.
That said; their sliders and storm doors are good.
