Window Nation Cost Introduction
Window Nation sells two main window and doors brands - Soft-Lite and Vytex Windows. However, unlike other companies that sell one series from each brand, Window Nation sells quite of few series of each. These include the Soft-Lite Imperial LS, Vytex Potomac HP, Vytex Addison, Vytex UltraView, Vytex BelleVue, Vytex Grandview, Soft-Lite Barrington, and Vytex Georgetown. Please note that I listed them from best to least best. Scroll down for all of our Window Nation prices and consumer cost quotes.
Bottom Line: Window Nation price points tend to be a bit high in my opinion. Also, the company does tend to get knocked for their somewhat aggressive sales tactics. However, they generally get mostly positive consumer reviews on their installation and customer service.

Grandview Double Hung Cost
Hello, we want to replace 7 windows in our townhome. A sales person from WN quoted us $7000 dollars for their Grandview double hung, half screen. However, seems to us the price of $1000 each is too expensive. So, what your thoughts on getting Pella windows from Lowe's and get it installed by their contractors.
Also, I went to the Lowes to ask about installation and they could not give me a base price, but said 1400 could be the highest they can charge for 1 window. However, seems very expensive. We want energy efficiency for the best price we can get. We are in Maryland. Thank you for the page on Window Nation Prices - great stuff for us nooks.

Bob, $1K per window is quite expensive in my opinion, but it seems to be the going rate for many windows in 2022. Also, I don't think Lowes is the call myself because I find the big box stores' subcontractors are spotty. I'd prefer to be able to google a specific company and see their cumulative reviews and ratings from potentially hundreds of past customers. Lastly, I'd suggest getting a few more bids from local companies and keeping the WN bid as a maybe.

Replacement Windows Cost 2022
Hi Tom, I love the content on your site. It is super helpful. Do you have an opinion on Bellvue windows (made by Alside) sold by Window Nation -versus- the Nirvana (from Soft-Lite's Classic Plus Line) sold by Zen Windows -versus- the Berkshire Elite sold by Window Universe?
For 25 windows of various sizes we were quoted around $21k for the Bellvue, $18.5k for Nirvana and $21k for the Revere Berkshire Elite. Specifically, the quotes are based on 22 double hung, one triple casement, one picture window and one slider. Therefore, I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you have on those product lines. Thank you again for sharing the content and your incites.
Jade - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
This is an easy answer. The $18.5k for the Soft-Lite's Classic Plus Line is the best window at the cheapest price. This is the choice I would make without question. Zen Windows tends to be a fair price option for many American consumers if they have a branch that serves your area.

I am hoping you can help. We have been working with WN for 11 windows. We installed Great Lakes comfort Smart and have had issues with the sashes being warped. However, after a year of getting replacements with the same issue, WN has agreed to replace all of our windows with a another brand.
They offered Grandview by Vytex and Envision by Softlite. On paper, the Grandview is slightly more efficient of the two, we like the exterior look (Envision has beveled exterior edge). Also, I don't want to make the same mistake 2x any guidance? Thanks.
Chris - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
Chris, I think they are pretty comparable windows myself. Furthermore, I like the soft-Lite brand more than the Vytex, but I think these are apples to apples.

Window Nations Prices
Hello Tom, I just stumbled across your website and thank you considerably for aggregating all this information. So, basically, Window Nation in Cleveland, Ohio just provided a quote for 8 Imperial LS Windows, which I understand to be decent quality, but I was put off by the "must buy now" sales tactics of an otherwise amicable salesman. After doing some research the next day, some of the things he mentioned were outright lies designed to prevent us from doing any research of our own.
In the end, we were quoted the following, but the salesman refused to break down any of the costs, preferring to just list a bunch of "package deal" numbers out on a sheet of notebook paper. However, having no experience with window pricing, I'd just like to know if it's this is a fair price. Also, I noticed the sales rep never took any actual measurements of the windows as he said the carpenter would do that part, but the sizes he quoted are somewhat overstated.
Soft-Lite Imperial LS - TOTAL PRICE (INSTALLED): $9.987.00
UPDATE: Additional details I forgot to add include. Our house was built 1919, so there is an up-charge for lead abatement and cleanup. Price includes white aluminum trim on exterior of house. Also, salesman mentioned, since we are simply swapping old vinyl replacement windows with new ones, that this installation is a simple drop-in replacement, versus needing a bunch of customization for install.
Brennan - Homeowner - from 2022
[Site Editor's Answer]
So...I would say this is a decent price...but I don't think you should take it until you've had at least two more bids. Lastly, you just never know how it's going to compare with other bids. You're in a good area to reach out to find other credible products and companies.

Average Cost For Window Nation Windows
My name is Steve and I am getting a bid on 14 WN triple pane pocket windows with full screens and tempered glass in about half. The Window Nation prices are $910 installed per window for their high end Imperial LS windows. They also pitched me the Vytex Grandview, which was $770 per. I did also get a quote from Marvin windows, but they were $1500 per for their Infinity fiberglass.
Steve - Homeowner - from 2017
Editor's Reply
Steve, the bids sound a bit high to me, although tempered glass typically adds about $100 to the cost of each window, but you indicated it was only half that needed this glass. Also, Window Nation carries good brands like the soft-Lite Imperial LS and Vytex Grandview, but they aren't usually the cheapest out there.
I would try to get an actual Soft-Lite dealer out there and see what they would charge for the Soft-Lite Classic or Pro model. Again, I like both the bids you have, but not the price tag. I think you need a couple more bids to round out your offerings. The Infinity from Marvin is a good option, but it's not $1500 installed in my opinion.

Window Nation Prices
So, I received a quote from Window Nation for a set of their recommended windows, the Imperial Pros. Window Nation was my first estimate at getting windows. Now, I liked the product that they were selling, it seemed very nice but the cost is outstanding at $25,500. Therefore, I signed the contract at the time of the sales pitch but I have until March 10th to cancel.
My gut tells me no, but it is very difficult for me to know because the contract that they provided does not give a breakdown of cost for each item. Unfortunately, I (over?) estimated the large items to try to get a breakdown of costs per double hung. Also, I have Thompson Creek coming this afternoon to give me an estimate for their product. Do you have thoughts on that company, their windows?
Here is the WN order at $25,500. I estimated my patio door to cost $3.5k. Of course, they upsold me to get laminated glass. I do not know if that is a wise investment, but I think that is why that costs so much. Finally, I estimated my half moon over fireplace to be $2k?
I estimated my foyer picture window(s) to be 3k - large box with half moon on top. That leaves 17 double hungs and 3 small basement sliders to be 17k. That averages at $850 per window which is higher than internet articles say I should be paying even on the high side. In general, I thought my estimates are over estimates and that still leaves me paying too much. I don't know where I am going wrong.

[Site Editor's Answer]
Matt, I would tend to agree with you that that bid sounds high. But I don'tknow all the project details so it's impossible for me to say that with any real certainty. I definitely think you need a couple more bids to confirm.
Window Nation has a good reputation in general, although I have seen bids that seems high to me. I don't think this is their best price and I think you can use some additional bids to start working down the price bid for them to find the lowest number they?ll go.
I don't hear much about Thompson Creek, but I feel like I've hear they use an aggressive pitch and don'talways offer the most competitive pricing. Plus, I know nothing about their windows. I'd love to get some feedback from you on what you think about them.
I would be interested to see if you could get a bid from a local company that sells some quality mid range vinyl windows to get a better fix on price. Perhaps Vytex (I know Window Nation often pitches this as their drop window), Wincore or Zen (which is a franchise that resells mid range Soft-Lite windows, although they have their own labels).
For instance, assuming no big installation requirements, I would think you could get the top end Wincore 7700 for something in the $17K to $18K range. In my gut, I think this is what you should be shooting for.
Bottom line, take your time and get some more bids to see what the real market value of your project is?

Window Nation vs Thompson Creek
Hi Tom, Thank you so much for getting back to me so quickly. That was so nice of you!! We had Thompson Creek out and were really happy with their product, warranty, and pricing. They came in at cheaper than Window Nation, had a much better and more thorough warranty, and we really liked their product. They are local here and do all their own installs. There are no subcontractors.
Also there is no fine print in their warranty like I found with Window Nation. Window Nation has in their fine print about requirements for preventative maintenance which are in separate brochures and damage must be reported within 10 days. To me, that is a little absurd. I ended up getting 26 windows and a patio door for 26,400 from Thompson Creek. Conversely, Window Nation was 25 windows and a sliding glass door for 25,600.
The Thompson Creek rep was not pushy and presented everything as transparent as possible. We saw all the numbers, it was like working directly in an Excel spreadsheet. To me, that made a lot of difference. There were other differences where I could see that the Window Nation rep was trying to hide certain things and divert attention away from specifics like the subs who install, requirements of the warranty, etc.
BTW, Thompson Creek advertises their windows at U = .28, S=.29 and air leakage at .06. So, these numbers are just a tad worse than the Imperial LS. Lastly, I can't thank you enough for writing me back so quickly and really appreciate your window nation prices and reviews page. Have a great one.

Imperial LS Series Cost
The Imperial LS uses triple weatherstripping, has a kevlar reinforcement as opposed to an aliminum version with the Pro and an air infiltration (AI) rating of .02 as opposed to .07 on the Pro. (Both of these AI numbers are very respectable.) The Imperial LS is an excellent series, but it is not cheap either.
