I agree with the comments above. Good choice for a window with a real wood interior. Well built, good company.

We have both Marvin Integrity and Ultimate. Ultimate line (all wood) looks a mile better but given the huge price difference we're happy with our integrities.

We had marvin wood windows installed in our house 20 years ago. They lasted 5 and had to have them all replaced. The wood joints were not glued properly and they fell apart.

We, also, had trouble with Marvin windows. All (4) slider and 6 window glass showed the suction cup marks and, of course, the marks were between the two layers so couldn’t be wiped away.….Marvin did replace, no problem there, but, what a mess to patch and repaint...

Did they replace the windows for you Kathi? I have to imagine that the 10 year warranty should have covered that back then. I think they have been 10 year warranted for about 20-30 years at this point.

+1. I can't say that I've ever heard of Marvin denying a valid warranty claim. Certainly every manufacturer makes mistakes and those can be a pitb as it sounds like Judy's case is, but the better manufacturers have fewer mistakes and stand behind making them right. This is the category that Marvin fits into in my experience.

No. They offered a discount on new windows. We went with Renewal by Anderson and haven't had a minutes worry.

I just talked with my husband and Holy guacamole. We've been in this house 26 years! Whoops. Time flies. So 26 years ago we had Marvin windows in our new house. After about 5-6 years we had to have them replaced.

The joints were not glued properly and the windows rotted inside and out. We had to have some of the supporting structures under the windows replaced because of the leaking and rotting. Marvin was less than helpful and said this was not covered. I just wanted them gone. So I researched and found Renewal by Anderson. It was a rather new product and my husband was a little hesitant, but I talked him into them. We have double hung windows and they were pricey...~1K per window and we had 35 of them!! But no problems in the 20 years we have had them. And we have the wood on the inside.

I realize it was 20 years ago at this point, but what was their rationale for just offering a discount vs. replacing what sounds like a warranty failure at a 5-6 year mark on what should be a 10 year warranty.

We've installed two integrity casement windows and a slider, and will gradually do the rest of the house. First one has been in about 4 years.

Love them, no issues at all. Strongly recommend ordering the wood interior painted white, as they don't offer a primed option. You can then easily paint them the shade you need. (Just realized, this doesn't apply if you're going for the stained wood interior look! But if you will be painting, it's a good idea)

I really don't remember what the rationale was. I just wanted to be rid of them and Marvin. I did not want any replacements made by them.
