Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

Pella by far in my opinon is best. Service, quality,etc.
I work with both and there is no doubt in my mind Pella is the better of the two.

Alside does have a transferable warranty and also has in house service available in many areas. A question for you . If you lock the windows and lift up or down on them how much play do they have? Can you see daylight at the top or bottom? Alside had a problem in manufacturing sahes to narrow in hei...

YOUR installers didnt want to or were not capable of or paid enough t o change a header to accomodate the doors. I will give them credit for saying no way only if the exterior is brick or block. If your width is at least 72 inches or 61 inches for a 5 foot door then a simple sill drop should have be...

Call Alside direct do not tell them you got a bid from ww. Ask to buy sheffields and have them install them with factory trained and approved installers. It may cost $200 more but the problem is solved and you will be happy or have a direct contact with the source and a better service dept. If they ...

You say how bad a silverline with the anderson logo is but you still will install a therma junk by pella and defend it. I guess you can defend it because Lowes pays you too. Silverline is twice the window therma junk is and what happened to " Even a cheap window installed properly is better tha...

easy day for the installer!!!! simple wood pop out windows. chisel the stops from the outside, install from the outside and wrap exterior with coil. it doesnt get much better than this. 10 windows 6 hours 3 guys tops.

If you do you did not shim properly. 4) Did you lay a b...

They almost sound like old Pella windows. Steel frames with wood clad interiors. If they are you must remove the whole window to the studs. Also do not throw the hardware away if they are Pella. Put it on E bay I have heard people desire these items. Might not be true but I'm jus sayin. Send a pictu...

caulk the cap to the stucco. Cant believe this wasnt already done.
Bet he said he back caulked it so it wouldnt look ugly. you might as well hang 3 straws with a sign that says LEAK HERE.

The last five I replaced was 6 months ago. They were leaking at the gaskets where the jambs were attached at the bottom corners. Also the recycled exterior trim looked horrible and should have been replaced by the installer. They didnt even remove the shutters to caulk down the sides of the coil. (s...

Your swiggle seal, mechanical frame, over priced, inferior product is out dated and its days are numbered. OH and by the way the discount for putting the sign in the customers yard for life is so tacky and absurd. I cant believe people still fall for it. If they said heck no youd still give them the...
