Comments (4)Not sure where in MD you are located, but Windows on Washington may serve your area. Great guy, and he sells "installed" or DIY. On product, for wood the big 3 makers are all pretty decent. (although I only like the Designer series in Pella). Some people like that screen, others don't. I installed one for my parents several years ago, and the bug thing is overblown by competitors with the interior screen. If you want bang for the buck, vinyl can't be beat. They'll generally offer superior performance numbers as well. My favorite is the okna/Himark offering, with a .26 u value, and .06 air infiltration rating. The latter is unheard of as sliding doors go. Sunrise and Softlite have nice offerings as well....See MorePella Proline vs. Jeld Wen Siteline EX
Comments (37)I'd be interested if the quotes for the windows are from window dealers that are installing them. Those companies charge crazy prices for installation, and the homeowner has no clue as to the competency of the installation crew. IMO, the only way to go is to have a trusted finish carpenter measure and install windows and the contractor will be buying the windows from a builders supply company at a significant discount to what an average homeowner will pay for the same window. The most important aspect of the whole process is the quality of the installation. Lousy windows installed by a conscientious pro will last longer than top dollar windows installed by a schmuck. Any work done on a house that will come in contact with water had better done by the book or you'll be in a world of misery....See MoreJeld-Wen Sliding 4 Panel Patio Door
Comments (5)Jeld Wen vinyl or wood? They have three series of wood. So which are you looking at? Facing west, you are going to get hammered in the winter as well. Just make sure you ask for their highest DP rated door and be sure to use Cardinal 366 for maximum sun protection....See MoreElectronic / Keyless locks for a multipoint locking Jeld-Wen door
Comments (100)UPDATE from JW support via email: Good morning Chad, My name is Michaeline, I am a supervisor in Customer Experience for JELD-WEN. Thank you for taking the time to offer your feedback and suggestions on how we can improve our product. JELD-WEN at this time does not offer smart lock or keyless entry options.

They may be able to advise a smart lock or keyless entry system that would be compatible with your product. I understand you would like to connect over the phone. Please let me know a time and day that works best for you. I am in the Eastern Time Zone, my hours are 8-5 PM EST. Is -------------- the best number to contact you? Please feel free to use this email chain to contact me directly at any time in regards to this inquiry. Thank you, Michaeline Spencer I CUSTOMER EXPERIENCE SUPERVISOR JELD-WEN, Inc. Phone: 888-594-3578 Web: www.jeld-wen.com/en-us/support Email: customerserviceus@jeldwen.com Please consider the environment before printing this email MY RESPONSE: Yes, that is the correct number, I’ll be available whenever you call. So far I can’t recommend anything about your product or customer service, change my mind. Thanks, Chad I received a call from "Michaeline" @7:20AM CST today and she couldn't be more pompous or dismissive of any comment other than JW is infallible by not acknowledging there is any issue. Worst customer service experience I've ever had. This company is terrible and I hope they go bankrupt. I told her I would do everything in my power as a consumer make that so by steering others away from their proudly antiquated company. However, I learned from my reseller that Ashland Hardware Systems - https://www.ashlandhardware.com - makes their hardware so I may see what they say, but am expecting more of the same since their website isn't even HTTPS. I am pretty defeated at the moment....See MoreWindows on Washington Ltd
