Gerkin Windows Reviews And Consumer Prices
Discover Gerkin windows reviews and consumer prices (updated in 2024) on the company's new construction and replacement windows and doors. The company is based out of Sioux City, Iowa and has been in business since 1932. They sell both vinyl and aluminum clad windows and doors, and are considered a quality manufacturer - albeit much more regional than say a Pella or Andersen.

Window Recommendations
Hi Tom, what do you know about Gerkin vinyl windows and how they compare to the Anlin Catalina series or some of the others you recommended?

[Site Editor's Answer]
Tim, Gerkin makes a high quality vinyl window. I would put the Comfort series on par with perhaps the Anlin Catalina. I don't hear much about Gerkin though as they tend to be pretty regional in their distribution. I would absolutely get a bid from them - my theory is to get bids from as many window companies as possible - best way to sniff out good value!

Gerkin Windows Reviews
I've always found Gerkins to be a durable and solid window with good ratings. They are reasonably priced, they make both aluminum and vinyl windows, but they don't have a wide variety of features and colors to choose from. That being said, I think these windows are a great choice for any property.

Gerkin Windows vs Marvin
Marvin Windows are my top choice, but they are expensive and there aren't any dealers in my area. So I started looking at other options, including Gorell and Jeld-Wen but they seemed too flimsy. So I started to consider Gerkin and overall I am impressed. They are durable with good AI numbers and they are visually appealing. Another advantage is that they are slightly more affordable than the others so I think my decision has been made.

Gerkin vs Milgards
Gerkin and Milgard are a top quality option in the Arizona area. Here aluminum windows are the best option and both of these window companies offer great products and customer service. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend either of these to my clients.

Vinyl vs Aluminum
I am busy doing some research on the Gerkin brand for my home in Kansas. I like their aluminum windows are sturdy with reinforced frames and their vinyl options seem to be the middle to higher end of the market with low-e glass and insulation. So far I am pretty impressed.
[Update]
"Well we went ahead with Gerkin and I had them installed six months ago, they look really good. I am impressed with their customer service and the fact there is a real person on the other end of the line. The only problem I had was one of the screens was bent, but they sorted that out for me.

Choosing Replacement Windows
Who would have thought choosing a replacement window would be such a difficult task, I am completely torn between Gerkin and Hayfields. They both have their advantages with the Gerkins offering low air infiltration and the Hayfield offering a sturdier window and a better warranty. When it comes to price and quality they are pretty much the same, so I am still stuck on which is best for my home.

Vinyl Options
Vinyl is more popular these days, making it difficult to find quality aluminum windows. Gerkins aluminum series are pretty decent even though they don't have a wide range of options available. They have a quality sill support and low air infiltration, the rates are anywhere from .01 to .04 rated according to the window you have chosen.
