Help Choosing Marvin Integrity or Sunrise Restorations
Comments (8)The Sunrise " restorations" is going to be a much better performer in terms of energy efficiency and air tightness than the marvin; its evident by the ratings on each window. As far as doors, the Provia is more expensive for a reason, its built/ designed much better than the Thermatru. Provia is known as one of a hand full of elite doors. thermatru is more of just an average type product. The thermatru steel doors are garbage in my opinion. Provia is well worth the extra cost. In 10 years, you will be glad you did. This post was edited by mmarse1 on Sat, Apr 5, 14 at 10:25...See MoreRestorations by Sunrise, Integrity/Marvin, Jeld Wen, Andersen
Comments (12)I wouldn't dismiss the well respected local "handyman". You'll most likjely get a better job from this guy than you will with a large window company. They might send a large crew of inexperienced laborers with one experienced guy overseeing the job. The larger company will most likely be significantly more expensive than the local guy too. Most experienced contractors would consider window installation as handyman work anyways. I can buy a nice window at the local lumber yard and you'll get all the benefits of the warranty. In my area you'll rarely see homeowners using "window specialists". They simply jack up the price of the window as well as the installation. They need to cover all their advertising, salesman's salaries, and executive bonuses somehow.... Don't get to hung up on the performance numbers. If you like the look of the Anderson or Marvin and you're saving a nice sum over the Sunrise, buy what you like. It's like comparing an ugly car that is more expensive over the car you like because the "better" car gets 27.8 mpg, while the one you want gets 27.7 mpg. I just looked up the Sunrise "authorised dealers/installers" in my area. Looks to me from their sites that they are nothing more than small "handyman contractors"....See MoreOkna vs Sunrise vs Marvin
Comments (2)I'd concur with the gentleman that you spoke with. The Okna 500 compares favorably with all of the other options that you've seen, and offers a great value. The Verde is a great window as well, but the Okna will best it both thermally and structurally (better u-value and air infiltration). On white windows surrounded by dark trim, that is really going to be a personal decision. In my experience, if someone is open to the idea and does not object to even the thought of it, they typically end up loving it as it can really brighten up the room/windows....See MoreReplacements - Integrity or Infinity from Marvin, or Sunrise Vanguard
Comments (2)Thanks, HomeSealed, for the reply. I contacted the two companies that gave me full replacement pricing and they only want to do the job as full replacements. Basically, my pricing for 14 openings: 3 sliding glass doors (72x82), 7 gliders (3 - 72x 55; 4 - 72 x 55), 1 72x72 picture window, and 3 double hung (avg 30x50) is around $20- 21.5K. This includes installation, and new wood trim inside and out. I would have to stain the trim myself. Is this reasonable? Will the wood portion of the "wood-ultrex" hold up better over time than traditional wood windows (like my current ones?)....See MoreRelated Professionals
