Most Expensive Window Brands
Okna Starmark 900 (Composite Frame): The Okna Starmark is a composite frame that is a bit thicker than most, although it has pretty nice sitelines.There are installers who feel that the frame's bulkiness takes away from the viewable glass area. Minus the bulky frame, it is one of the very best performing windows on the market. Are Okna window costs worth $1100 each - absolutely.
Target Price Installed: $1100
Renewal By Andersen (Composite Frame): Homeowners can expect to pay $1200 to $2500 per window fully installed. RBA is a franchise, meaning that you are not buying from Andersen, you are buying from the individual RBA distributor or owner. During the presentation, the price might start out at $2000 per window plus, but will come down significantly if you sign with them today. Are Renewal By Andersen window costs worth $1800 each - kinda doubtful.
Target Price Installed: $1800
Marvin Ultimate (Aluminum Clad): The Ultimate series is Marvin's high end custom wood window line that is regarded by many installers as one of the best wood window options on the market. The Ultimate series themselves are extremely nice look and homeowners can select from Douglas Fir, Pine, Cherry, Mahogany and White Oak. Each window can be customized and upgraded so the price below could go well above the $1000 mark with some nice upgrades. Are Marvin windows cost per window worth $2000 each - probably.
Target Price Installed: $2000
Andersen 400 Series (Wood Clad): Andersen 400 Series are an upgrade from their 200 Series. It offers betters craftsmanship and is available in more sizes, colors and options. This series is also available in two models; the Woodwright and the Tilt-Wash. The Tilt-Wash uses the same PPG Flexicron finish on the sash, but has a better sill design than the 200 version. The Woodwright uses the same sill and frame that's on the Tilt Wash, but uses their fibrex finish on the sash, considered a much better feature than the PPG Flexicron option. The Woodwright is only available in a limited numbers of colors. Many contractors put the 400 Woodwright at the top of the list of Andersen products. Is the $2200 Andersen 400 series cost worth it - yes, if you are going to maintain them over the years.
Target Price Installed: $2200
Pella Designer (Wood Clad): The Designer Series is Pella's top of the line wood clad window that uses an exterior aluminum cladding. While Pella often gets panned for their vinyl windows (which is not exactly fair after they released the 150, 250 and 350 vinyl series), they have always received kudos for their gorgeous wood clad series. The Designer is one of the most expensive windows on the market today. Are Pella prices worth the $2500 for the Designer series - only if you can afford it!
Target Price Installed: $2500

Renewal by Andersen Bid
I just received a bid on 27 double hungs for new construction. But the bid came in at $123K. I thought this was sort of insane.

Billy, that is an insane bid. I would say keep looking! I have a list of quality options that I am happy to send you.

Sunrise Restoration Windows Cost
Tom, I am replacing 50 wood clads that are 24 yrs old. This includes 4 large picture windows, 6 half rounds, 6 small transom and the remainder double hung. Cream exterior and white interior with dividers.
Sunrise Restoration windows cost is 65,000. Are these the one of the most expensive windows brands?
Richard - Homeowner - from 2023
[Site Editor's Answer]
Richard, Sunrise is definitely one of the more expensive options out there, but this is in the realm of reasonable given recent prices. Whether it's the best you can do is certainly another story. If this were my project I'd continue to collect bids until I could say for sure whether this was the best deal out there.
Sunrise is also one best brand of windows you can find when it comes to vinyl.

I've just received a quote for 9 units and w sliding glass doors for $15,486. Are these expensive in your opinion?

Hi Ted, thanks for the question. In general, I'd say these are expensive. However, this is much too generic for me to give you any sort of real answer. Nine windows and a sliding glass door can range in price from $6000 to $20,000. I would need to know the type of windows you're talking about, the sizes, the upgrades, the brand, the features, components etc. In terms of the sliding glass door, there's a huge difference in price between custom sizes and standard sizes, the actual size you need, the brand, the features, and components.
However, let's say for the sake of argument that the sliding glass door you're looking at is $2000, which would bring the price down to $13,500 for the remaining nine windows. Unless they're of significant size, you're playing quite a bit per window. This price point is what I would expect for Renewal by Andersen Window Costs, which typically bids out their projects at a very high per windows cost.
My advice to you would be to get 2 to 3 more bids from local companies in your area in order to understand whether the bid price is way too high or is the market price for the specific requirements of your project. This is really the only way you were going to find out whether the bid you have is on point or is simply too expensive.

They said their windows were Anlin Del Mar from American Vision. Do you think the price is reasonable? Your advice is greatly appreciated!

Jennifer, it does sound a bit high to me, but not unusually high. I really think you need a few more bids to determine if it is indeed high. I would suggest finding a Milgard dealer, an Amerimax dealer, and perhaps a Simonton dealer who could quote you on the Simonton Impressions Series. Milgard Windows Prices

I would tell the Milgard and Amerimax dealers that you have a bid on the Anlin Del Mar and ask them to bid your project for their comparable window. Don't tell them the price bid you have though. Make it clear that you were uncomfortable with how high the bid is, and that you want their best quote and that you will be making your decision in the next week or so. Amerimax Windows Cost
Hopefully, you will get some lower bids than this. If you still like the Anlin window and installer, you can then take your lowest bid back to him and tell him that you are ready to go with him if he can match the lowest bid you have. I think this approach is how you find his true price floor.
