Certainteed to BF Rich Or United ComparisonI'm in New Jersey, on the hunt for replacement windows. What I need are a double slider, 2 picture window replacements, 4 casements and a 9' patio door. I've looked at a number of windows like CertainTeed Bryn Mawrs, Series 700 from United Window and Door, and BF Rich, receiving quotes from each. There isn't much of a difference between each quote, and the warranties and features are pretty similar too. With that, I can't seem to decide on which one to go with now. There's just not enough info out there for me to make an informed decision.
So many things really depend on who the installer is. Now that MI makes CertainTeed, I wouldn't recommend it. I'm not very familiar with BF Rich and while United is average, it's not terrible.
3 Quotes To ConsiderI'm on the lookout for a good product ro replae 12 double hungs and convert 2 windows to a bay. My search has gotten me 3 quotes so far. Two of them (Alside Excalibur and United 4800s) were about the same price, while the Crystal Series 200 quote was around half of what the other offered. I can make a final decision because I don't know enough about them, the differences or which one comes better recommended. When I talked to the United rep, they said that they don't nail their windows in but use shims and caps. Does that make a difference and is it better? I like the warranty on the Excaliburs and I don't have much on the Crystals, but such a low price makes me wary of them.
My work has made me pretty familiar with all kinds of windows like Sunrise, Simonton, Soft-Lite, OKNA and Gorell. Each come with varying window series: premium, standard and bargain. If you come across prices that are really different when you get quotes, it's likely that they aren't in the same lines. I would compare features first to see what quality your dealing with before taking the pricing into account. Honestly, I don't recommend any of the brands you're looking at to you or anyone. |
