Andersen Series 400 or Series 100
Comments (33)Sam Goh, Most dealers would be happy to sell to you even if they are hours away. But how much are you saving for that hassle? The local dealer is less likely to help you out with any problems if you left the area to make your purchase. That one small change you want to make after the fact might be $200 from your local dealer, but $800 if the other dealer has to make the drive to you. Same with Home Depot-do you think HD is going to help you at all if you need help later? If it's an appliance that will wear out in 5 yr anyway, that's one thing. When it's a part of your house that will be there for decades, I'd be glad to pay even a few thousand more from a reputable dealer that will be there for the minor problems. If you have ~60 windows, just keep in mind that it will be exponentially more expensive for you if you have to change them all out in 5-10 yr because they're junk... Just my $0.02, hope you can find a good solution that works well for you....See MoreAny opinions on Integrity (by Marvin) windows?
Comments (9)The Marvin Integrity line consists of two very different pultruded fiberglass windows: Wood-Ultrex and All-Ultrex. Which one did you decide to use? What "bells and whistles" were lacking? What kind of supplier did you use? My favorite window supplier sells Marvin and Andersen. I've been dealing with his company for 40 years and no other supplier has ever matched his price and he knows the products well so I have learned to rely on his advice. I recently asked him if Marvin Integrity windows would be a savings over Andersen 400 windows. He said the Integrity Wood-Ultrix (fiberglass clad wood frame and sash) and the Andersen 400 Woodwright (PVC clad wood frame and Fibrex clad wood sash) double-hungs would be comparable in price. He said the Integrity All-Ultrix (no wood) was not of sufficient quality (as did the regional Marvin rep). The Andersen 400 Tilt-Wash double-hung was the next choice for about $100 less but it has a PCV compression jamb that makes it difficult to tilt the sash and the sash finish is an epoxy paint instead of a Fibrex cladding. The biggest savings would be to use the Andersen 100 all-fibrex (no wood) series that was about $200 cheaper but was a single-hung, didn't tilt and had a 3 1/4" deep frame similar to vinyl windows. This research is not exhaustive but I don't know where I would go to get better information, certainly not he internet....See Morequaker vs anderson 100 series
Comments (45)I live in the Hamptons and my husband is a premier build, building multi-million dollar homes. His father was and my father were both GC's. All 3 would prefer installing an Andersen every time over the window architects spec. today. If there isn't an issue with the cost, lead time, install issues or the functionality, there is usually some sort of issue that ensues not too many years down the road. The look is important, I get it, but functionality rules. Here in East Hampton, NY the local color use Andersen on their homes. Hands down the favorite....See Morenew construction need help with picking out windows
Comments (79)Its not the OP who will see legal issues...its the modular company who had their architect sign off on the plans that will get sued in the end. Even in Yankee Barn attempts to go after the OP, the OP can turn around and go after the modular company. Since it sounded like OP was already planning to change the plans and was in the early stages I doubt Yankee Barn would go after OP. At this point either the plans were changed heavily or OP could hire a contractor to finish off the inside of the house and avoid showing the town building department as much as possible. I doubt Yankee Barns legal team would waste funds to take someone to court over an online discussion board. If OP had to pay for plans in the first place...its highly likely that the modular company contacted Yankee Barns architect and bought them. Its 2018 and with websites like this i doubt a modular company would risk it....See Moremillworkman
