Provue windows reviews

All good windows and it sounds like the installation companies are solid. I am waiting to hear about Sunrise issues with the acquisiton by MI, but so far I haven't heard of any I know that they have been in the door business for many years, but their replacement window reviews that I have read, seems "mixed" for this product. I like the contractor Home Craft , as they have done quality work for us windows, roof, etc. We had Home Craft install replacement windows in the front of our house about 8 years ago, and I had them install Andersen wood windows, but am looking for something more reasonable for the back, but that is also reliable.

I know that the OKNA series is not a bad product, but I don't want to spend 20K for 6 standard double hung, 4 small bathroom windows, and a sliding glass door. I would put the ProVia Endure window on par with the Okna I would definitely have the ProVia Endure in my home. I have a sunroom that has heating and cooler. It faces the west and 3 sides are exposed to outside.

I have 12 windows in that room. Thanks for the advice. Tim - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Tim, yes the krypton will help with your energy efficiency. If this is your forever home, do it. If not, skip it. I think that's as honest an opinion as I can offer. My sister and I are replacing windows in a home we recently purchased together.

We had six different companies come to quote. Big sticker shock! After looking at your site, we scheduled 6 quote from a company noted on your site in reviews from S. Wisconsin - Home Sealed Exteriors. They are the 2nd company to quote composite windows, the rest were vinyl.

Without know what window they offered and what price, I'm kind of limited in saying what's fair or not. I'm assuming the composite from Home Sealed is on the Okna Starmark, a very good window. Did he give you a quote on the Okna model?

I'm curious where that would come in at I think they are the Thermal Weld Collection as that is the catalog he left us. Lesli - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Lesli, I agree that your bid prices are expensive as heck for 14 windows and a patio sliding door. You are going with some high quality windows, but still Are you doing new construction windows everywhere?

I do agree that ProVia as a brand is not in that top echelon, but Not as good as the Okna, Soft-Lite and Sunrise windows though. If its the ProVia Endure and the Okna Starmark or Okna or and they are close in price, then the Okna is probably the better deal.

Of course, the company doing the work is hugely important. Let me know when you find out more. This time there are 26 windows sizes in prior email. Wood, vinyl, composite? We live in SE Wisconsin. Do you have a top 5 brand? Thank you for your input and assistance. I high quality vinyl window is just fine for most homes in the U. Good luck at the showroom, maybe it will put some things into better perspective. Lesli - Homeowner - from ProVia Endure vs.

Pella Hi Dane and Tim, I am replacing the 28 original, contractor grade wood windows in my year-old house and the leading candidates right now are the ProVia Endure and the Pella The Pella seems to have a more narrow frame therefore more glass, which looks better but are they equivalent in technical areas like light transmission, insulating properties, and durability?

Any observations are welcome. Don - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Don, the ProVia Endure is in my top 15 windows in terms of quality, fit, tolerance, craftsmanship, and energy efficiency.

The Pella isn't even in my top The two just can't compare Go with the ProVia Endure if you want to maximize your long term value. Replace 22 windows of which 12 are double hung, 1 large casement picture window, 4 halfmoon, and 5 casement small windows. Should I be concerned? On the Okna's I dont think I am getting a great deal.

The Provia appears to be the best bang for my buck. Thanks in advance for your help. Tim, forgot to mention the Sunrise is the Ultra U - Plus 2 Peter - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Peter, first of all, let me say that is one of the most impressive list of windows in one quote grouping I've seen in a long time.

All of those windows are great. Yes, the obvious best bang for the buck is the ProVia Endure -- that's a great deal. If this were my project, I would have a tough time getting away from the ProVia bid, assuming the company doing the install had a good reputation.

The Sunrise Restorations would be my second pick for sure, again with the caveat that the install company was solid. I need to replace one casement, four double casements, two sliders and one picture window. The company offering Sunrise said the line was either Vanguard or Restoration. Both the companies that do Sunrise and Provia have reasonable on-line recommendations.

The company that does Sunrise just does doors and windows. The company offering Provia does all types of home remodeling I have to get a roof too ugghh.

Thoughts on which line of window is better or on whether I am better off using a company that focuses on windows only? Sunrise is the better overall brand over the ProVia when it comes to windows. Doors are a different story, but Sunrise is a big quality brand and the Restorations is one of the best windows on the market.

Personally, I like using a company that just does windows because that's what they do. That's where their expertise lies and they know the brands and the little tweaks that may be required better than any. We need full frame replacement windows — 12 total. Looking at double hung for all Which would you go with or would you suggest we consider a different window completely. Between the two, the ProVia Endure would be my pick for sure.

I don't hear a ton about Lindsay so I'm much more comfortable and knowledgeable about ProVia. However, it is by no means out of the ballpark. Since you have already received three bids and they seemed to all be around that price tag, I'm assuming that's the going rate. So you can either continue to get more bids and see what else is out there or you can go with one of these. If you go with the latter, I'd suggest the ProVia assuming the installation companies were equal in quality and strength.

I am looking into replacing the 26yr old wood windows and patio door in my home in the Twin Cities area of MN. I secured quotes for: 1 - White exterior, wood lam interior. Sunrise I believe this to be Classic or Standard. Dealer just called them Sunrise windows. It was a double pane quote and the triple pane option for the Softlite and Provia were still lower.

Gap widened even more when I compare double pane to double pane. The Softlite and Provia windows are quoted by the same dealer. I originally contacted them for a quote on the Softlite, and they quoted both the Softlite and Provia for me and tell me both are good windows. They are not pushing for me to go either way, so I feel they are just giving me options although they did say that they felt the Provia patio door was better than the Softlite From reading reviews on your site and others, I get the impression that the Softlite is considered a better window than the Provia, although the energy ratings to me look pretty equal.

Especially on the TLA triple pane. For instance on the 58x53 2-lite - the Softlite triple shows. I actually like the VT of the Provia better as. I could use the solar help heating in the fall, winter, spring months. So I did not think that was enough gain to justify losing Ufactor. We did like the screens on the Softlite better, and probably like the look of the Softlite a little better overall. But we like the look and build of the Provia patio door better than the Softlite, and the Provia window frames are slightly thinner than the Softlite which we liked.

So we would get a little more glass area with the Provia. And as I mentioned I think there are positives in regards to the Energy ratings of the Provia over the Softlite. So there are pluses and minuses to each.

Both windows have lifetime warranties which I think are similar in what they cover. I am looking for a window that will blend in with our existing woodwork, provide reasonable energy efficiency, and that will hold up for many years.

The Softlite is not close at all unfortunately. So I had intended to go with the Provia triple pane being the quoted cost difference between triple and double glass was minimal. The dealer recommended to me that even if I went with double pane for the windows they still recommended triple pane for the patio door regardless. Granted the comment was from back in But he stated that "They do a pretty nice job on the double-hung Endure offering, but that same line in casements is an engineering blunder.

I'm not a fan of that whole Duceuninck extrusion platform. So what are your thoughts on Endure casements and patio doors? Do you have an opinion on how they are engineered? Have you heard from anyone else if they were happy or unhappy with their Endure casements or patio doors? Should I be concerned about these comments? Or do I ignore them being they are really really old? Everything else I have read on the Endure line has been positive.

The installer who quoted me tells me both are quality windows Softlite and Provia. So my inclination is to ignore these comments. But most reviews and comments I see on the Endure product is for double hung windows.

So I thought I would email and get your thoughts on the casements and patio door specifically. Also, have I acquired enough quotes? If not, do you have another high quality window you would recommend? I have read that Okna windows are not distributed in MN so I think they are out. I do not even know what other window I would have quoted if I were to request additional quotes.

I feel like I have acquired quotes for 3 quality vinyl windows from what I have read doing my research. But I would not be opposed to securing additional quotes if there is another quality window line you could recommend. Of the options I have had quoted, what would you recommend? Or should I really keep looking?

And does the pricing I have received so far look about where it should be in your opinion? It is hard to find pricing comparisons online for casements as most postings are for double hung windows.

Thank you for any input you could provide. Greg - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Greg, you have definitely acquired three high quality quotes.

I don't agree with the ProVia Endure casement comment, I think they make a very nice casement myself. It's like deciding between a Mercedes and BMW, both great brands and very good craftsmanship. I think the differences in the look, color, and features of the windows would be more personal more than anything else.

If this were my project, I would divot from window to installer. This is a big part of any project in case something should go wrong. Spend some time here and I think your answer will become more clear. Good for you for getting such fantastic bids to begin with! Sunrise Omega 12 Dear Dane: I am currently deciding on new window for my home.

I live in Minnesota and need 7 windows. My home backs up to a busy highway and so what I am most interested in besides energy efficiency is a window with the greatest sound proofing. Could please suggest to me what you believe would be the best window for what I am looking for. Different glass thicknesses block out different sound frequencies and often times lower sounds, such as loud trucks etc. Please note: glass is only going to do so much for soundproofing. The biggest factor is the gap between the panes of glass, but these actual soundproof windows can be very pricey.

I think the quality frame, laminated glass, and dissimilar pane thicknesses should go a long ways to blocking out noises though. The ProVia Endure is an excellent window. Not looking for top of the line windows just a good replacement. Your response will be greatly appreciated. We are in Wisconsin. Kathy - Homeowner - from [Site Editor's Answer] Kathy, first of all great job collecting all of your bids, that's step one. You are a first, I've never seen a bid higher than one from Renewal.

I did do some checking and it looks like Valley Brook is a custom labeled Soft-Light Pro series window. Interestingly, I would rate the ProVia Endure window as the better window between these two options. I would definitely rate your ProVia Endure bid as the best of the bunch. I would only consider the Window World bid if you plan to be in the house less than 7 years. The Marvin Integrity would be my second pick, but the ProVia Endure is the better window than the Integrity in my opinion.

Let me know what you end up going with! Do they typically have any wiggle room you think? Will be asking both for references too. Appreciate all your knowledge and comments. Both window brands cost the same. But is the softlite the better window? Warrantys look the same. What window wins for you? If glass area is a big issue for you, go with the ProVia Endure—its a very good window. Certainly the company doing the work should be a factor as well.

I would choose the one with the better reputation, online reviews, etc. Basically you have two very good options in front of you. Sounds good. The same company is offering both windows. I feel good about the company. I'm leaning towards the Softlite. I like the interior vinyl wood color of the Softlite better. Slocomb Series Hey guys, we live in south eastern PA so experience the full range of weather hot summer, cold winters.

We are doing a 27 window whole house replacement project and have the following quotes. We're torn between which way to go and we're wondering if the quality of the windows themselves might help with the decision. Slocomb Series, UF 0. Thanks in advance for your help! The Slocomb is not a bad window at all, but the Endure is the better window in my opinon.

I'd like to see that price a bit lower. I'd ask them to match the Slocomb price and if they did that then you're ready to go. Much appreciated! I did get the ProVia guy to come down a bit, not all the way down to the Slocomb price but I'm more comfortable with him as an installer so am ok paying a little bit more.

Also, both quotes include a number of oversized windows and a large picture window with a half moon which is why both quotes appear on the surface to be on the high side. Tom - Homeowner - from ProVia Endure vs. Marvin Integrity Good Afternoon, we are replacing 4 Pella wood clad casement windows that are 30 years old and beyond repair.

I have looked at fiberglass windows as a replacement so I don't have to worry about the maintenance needed with wood. I didn't like the seals or the thin hinge system on the Pella fiberglass windows and I didn't like the Fibrex saw dust and PVC mixture of the Anderson windows and the Marvin fiberglass were quite a bit more than the Pella fiberglass.

The Milgard were even more. Of all the fiberglass the Marvin Integrity were my first choice. I was told that a vinyl window made by ProVia, the Encore, would be a good choice instead of fiberglass.

Simply answer the questions below and we will show you the perfect replacement windows for your home at the best prices. ProVia State Route 39 Sugarcreek, OH Window Types: ProVia offers windows in the following styles: awning , casement, slider, double hung, bay , bow , hopper, picture, garden, storm, and architectural shapes.

If this were my project though, I would make the decison on the installation company, not the product itself. Products are so close and both are very good. I don't know anything about this brand. These are for my basement so that I can remodel my downstairs. Any input would be wonderful! I would put it in my top 15 vinyl window list. Assuming you have solid installation, you should be well served by this window. Editor John M. Provia Endure Windows Complaint I recently had the Provia Endure window replacements installed; one slider, four double hung, and patio doors to replace my 26 year old drafty wooden windows.

Today is a windy cold spring day, and unfortunately these new windows are just as drafty. The seals around each window at the locks and at the bottom of the windows do not stand up for quality windows.

One additional note the metal clad corners of the windows are rough and uneven. Poor quality poor workmanship would not recommend these windows to anyone. I rate the quality as a one and if I had to do it again would go with a different company. Carolyn - Homeowner - April, Website Editor's Answer Carolyn, have you have the installation company come back and look at them. They obviously should not be drafty. It sounds like a poor install job. I would insist the company come back and eliminate the draftiness.

Editor John - March, ProVia Endure vs. Pella We have received three quotes for 24 windows and would like any feedback on which is the best route to take? The Pella bid is crazy. Milgard Tuscany is a solid mid range window and the Ultra is a good fiberglass window. The ProVia Endure is topping my list for sure, but you might want a couple more bids to see if that price range makes sense.

Wincore Hello--I have the option of the Wincore slider windows or the Provia Endure series. Which would you recommend? I live in Western PA and these would all be sliders on the front of the house. Both very good windows, but for me the Provia Endure is the clear winner in this head to head match up.
