I also liked the ideal majestic window. My pricing was somewhat close to the OP ( $535 per) My question is this: Ideal also offer the platinum 3000 which another window dealer uses about 45 minutes from us. Is it worth a look? How does it compare to majestic and what about the standard windows by Ideal? Im getting mostly double hung windows and 3 casements, how are their casements?

The ideal majestic is nicer than the platinum in my opinion. It has a nicer sill wall and the exterior is definitely nicer. The performance numbers are somewhat similar but the majestic would have to be my choice. The majestic double hung is very nice looking and so is their casement. Their casement is built real well. Altlough casements are usually more expensive than double hungs.

The regular windows by Ideal are only average at best and not worth considering if you can get the majestic series.

Thank you.

we are also looking at this particular window. It looks like a very strong window and is certainly the most attractive window we saw. The window also has a nice looking lock that serves as both a lock and tilt latch which seems really neat. We are ready to move forward with the Majestic window by Ideal. We have 20 double hung windows in double pane with basic white interior and exterior. the company offering this window gave us a price of $11,400 for a replacement install. This price includes everything -installation, full clean up, and sealing. Does this sound about right?

thank you

Your quote looks good to me based on what i have seen over the years. The Majestic Window is indeed very good looking with a nice interior design. It also has very good energy efficient ratings. It has a touch of elegance to it in my opinion as well. You should be very happy with your choice.

the Ideal Majestic is Ideal’s best window by far.

I have been looking at Majestic Window Ultra Tite, however I have been reading that they use a surface 4 Low-E which, I understand, will cause condensation. I have no idea what that is, but that is what I am reading. I am also trying to find an installer for Okna Windows. The one company I did reach out to had an unreasonable time frame (6 months) to complete the work once it was started. I need 8 double hung windows. I would appreciate a name of someone who sells/installs Okna Windows. location is Philly.

Thank you

If you are near Philly, call Wayne or Greg at The Window Nerd. They seem to be pretty squared away and good folks.

The Ideal Majestic is a very good window, i like it alot. its a very nice looking window and installs very well. That window ( double hung ) is usually priced about $575 - $600 per window since the price increases that every manufacturer implemented this past year. Casement window may be a tad more.

If you want grids between the glass add another $48 per window.

also, the Majestic is NOT the “ultra tite” . The Majestic is much higher quality than the Ideal ultra tite and its a totally different window. The surfact 4 low E is only one of Ideals glass packages and only used in certain situations. The Ideal “ Majestic series” has some very good glass packages.

hopefully Majestic finallly gets a new patio door.

Would the surface 4 low-e package be OK in Maryland? I know it drops the CR factor alot. The other glass options without that coating they offer use intercept spacer not the superspacer. I want the superspacer but you can only get it with the surface 4 package.

The Majestic doesnt use the standard intercept , they use Ultracept which is an all stainless spacer. its a good spacer. Keep in mind prices for windows as well as all other home improvement related product have gone up substantially this past year and we are about to see more price increases. Its due to supply issues, demand, and general inflation. Its getting crazy. Once prices go up, they never come down so lock in prices while you can.

Which one of these glass packages would you recommend for Maryland and why? Im leaning towards the 2 in the middle. I like the superspacer but im not so sure about the surface 4 low e.

I had a highly recommended company stop by yesterday with the Ideal Majestic series window. I thought it looked very nice especially compared to some of the other window brands. We were quoted with their Energy Green package. The air leakage rating was very good at .02 which was better than the other brands by far. We did see Soft Lite and they had an equally good air leakage rating on their Elite LS series.

We were quoted $6800 for 10 double hung majestic windows. The soft lite elite LS was $7400 for 10 replacement windows. We are leaning towards the majestic as of now. Care to opine?

$6800 for 10 double hung replacement windows ( Majestic ) is very good pricing and so is the Soft Lite pricing. They are both very good windows. The Soft Lite LS is an exellent window and I think that window is pretty sharp looking. Pricing for windows, doors, fencing, wood, furniture has gone through the roof this year hence all the price increases. There will be more increases to come from what I have been told.

Can someone help me answer my question please?

I have received quotes from various vendors and one of the windows we saw was the “Majestic Window“ from Ideal. Evidently its an exclusive series made for certain dealers. It is a nice window and seems well designed and so forth. However, we were quoted $7600 for 10 double hung replacement windows all in white with double pane glass. Does this seem like normal pricing? The dealer did tell us that the industry is facing ” inflation issues”.

Prices have certainly increased the last 2 years. That's a really fair price.

Agree, its good pricing and the majestic is a good window. Some of the pricing I see from 3 years ago was actually low for that time and you will certainly never see those prices again. Labor also went up big time.

I was quoted about $900 per double hung for Majestic installed. I am assuming this is the going rate due to price increases but wanted to check. Also, anyone recommend full screens over half? Thanks

Majestic is a good window.

Whats better? Half screen or full screen? One is not better than the other. That said, a full screen will cost more.

We decided to get one more estimate and saw the Ideal "majestic" window. Looks like a nice window while the energy efficiency numbers were good as well. I was priced about $780 per window. Im guessing thats in a normal range for 2024?

The majestic is nice. $780 is very good pricing. Its probably a basic install and no grids?

Yes William, no grids. Thank you!

Hello Julia. Seems like a fair price. What area are you located?

Seems awfully low tbh, but certainly not high.
