Provia Aspect or Sunrise Standard?

#1 Post by LMVA »

We've narrowed down the estimates for replacing 16 double hung windows on our home in Northern Virginia. We've been quoted $14,400 for ProVia Aspect windows and $12,250 for Sunrise Windows - the Standard version. Both of the companies that will install the windows have good reputations and have been in the business for 25+ years. Are these windows comparable? Is one window better than the other for my area?

Thanks in advance for any advice

Sunrise is better in my opinion. I feel the design in better and the sashes operate nicer in double hung units. The locks, tilts, and weatherstripping is nicer too.

+1.

Anything but the Sunrise Essentials and yes, in that comparison, it is the better window.

I don't know what Sunrise did with the Essential platform regarding it's name, but I think it's been killed off and rightfully so. I think that "drop" window is now a MI entry level window and it's just as horrible from what one of my larger Sunrise New England colleagues told me.

I'll agree that the Sunrise is better and is good(I'm not a big fan of the Provia window), although I wouldn't put the standard Sunrise in the top tier of performers either.

More importantly, the PRO above me may serve your area (Windows on Washington), and if they do, I couldn't recommend another company more highly. Excellence from top to bottom over there.

I second the recommendation to speak with Windows on Washington before making a final decision. You won’t find a better company to do business with in your area. They offer a line of vinyl windows that are superior to the ones you’ve seen so far.

Eric is pretty much legend here . You’d be crazy not to throw him in the mix.
