Loewen is the best of what you have listed. I know the Loewen dealer in Huntsville. Loewen makes really good stuff, but its pricey. Burt Dale owns the Marvin distributorship in Huntsville and he is also pricey. Pella in you market use to be Frank Day, but he sold out to a company in Indiana I think. Rumor has it, they are a train wreck. The Loewen dealer in your market is relatively new. Loewen practically pulled out of there when the market went bad. The current dealer runs pretty lean and I doubt they will have nearly as much of a mark-up as Marvin (Dale inc). Windsor is not a quality product. Its mid-level builder grade. The sales rep is pushing it for a reason. Could be they get higher margin/commission. Could be the manufacture is paying a spiff directly to the sales rep (not uncommon). Weather Shield use to be a good product when the old man was still running it. His sons took over and pretty much gutted the quality control. When Ed Schield still ran it, they made good stuff. I think Ed is still alive but not active in the day to day operations. Give Loewen a call. I would use them on my projects, but they are made in Canada and if I need parts this time of year I'm pretty much out of luck until they thaw out. I they had planned on building a plant/warehouse in South Carolina before the recession hit just to address the issue of weather delays and service, but I don't know if that ever happened.

Hi jodied, It has been 2 years since you installed your Windsor Pinnacle windows. Are you still happy with them?? I am considering having Windsor throughout my house and want to make sure this is not a mistake!! Any feedback you can offer will be welcome! Thanks

Equanimity - So as to balance this conversation, let me tell you a little bit about Windsor Windows & Doors. Contrary to the comments from a few frequent forum posters, there are many architects, builders and professionals throughout the country who like and repeatedly recommend our products. Windsor windows and doors have been installed in some of the most magnificent homes throughout North America, including the Bighorn Ski Chalet at Revelstoke, British Columbia, which was named the Best Ski Chalet in the World in 2014. Windsor started as a small, custom window company in Des Moines, Iowa in 1946, and has been a part of Woodgrain Millwork -- a family-owned company and one of the largest millwork operations today -- since 1987. Our relationship with Woodgrain is one of the reasons we are able to offer one of the best values in the industry. Through the years Windsor has continually evaluated and improved our products. We strive to be easy to do business with through open, honest communication with our customers, accountability for our actions, and by conducting business in a respectable manner. Our mission is to deliver exceptional value through the relentless improvement of our people, processes, and products. Our windows and doors meet the same rigorous standards set by independent testing companies as other window manufacturers that display the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) sticker, and meet or exceed the specifications put forth by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). For more information, I invite you to check out our Houzz Ideabooks and Projects that feature work from builders, architects, and designers across North America.

Hello Millworkman - If you have not yet seen our Director of Sales' message to you on a different thread (https://www.houzz.com/activities/user/srenke70), I encourage you to reach out to him. As he mentions, "we strive for continual improvement with the goal of providing the best windows and doors for homeowners’ budgets. We take all comments about our products very seriously, and I’ve noticed that you seem to have had a bad experience with Windsor in the past. As a long-time millwork man, myself, I invite you to give me a call so I can gain a better understanding of your experiences and hopefully show how we have addressed those issues. Please call me at 1-800-218-6186 and ask to speak to Scott Renke, Director of Sales. I value your input and look forward to your call." Windsor windows and doors have been installed in some of the most magnificent homes throughout North America, including the Bighorn Ski Chalet at Revelstoke, British Columbia -- voted World's Best Ski Chalet 2013-2015. This and many other projects by highly respected builders and architects speak to the quality of our products and our focus on customer service. Most importantly, our windows and doors meet the same rigorous standards set by independent testing companies as other window manufacturers that display the American Architectural Manufacturers Association (AAMA) sticker, and meet or exceed the specifications put forth by the National Fenestration Rating Council (NFRC). Again, I encourage you to reach out to Scott and have a one-on-one conversation.
