Windows Remodeling Design Dilemma

Replacement windows: Pella, Marvin, Lincoln or Andersen?

6 years ago

I am remodeling a home in Central Texas and replacing the 38 windows. Have looked at Pella Lifestyle and Impervia; like the look of the former but the price of the Impervia. Have been told to stay away from vinyl in the summer heat here and go with fiberglass but also know there are lots of vinyl windows that others say do fine. Curious how others feel about the Pella/Marvin/Andersen comparison; contractor is pushing Lincoln but have heard not so great things about quality on them. Thank you!

Pella and Lincoln are not good choices period, in any series. What Andersen and or Marvin lines are you looking at> What type of windows, double hungs, casements, etc? What style house? What do you want the interiors to look like? Don Young aluminum gets good reviews in Tx.
