United Windows vs Pella
Hi Tom, here is a quick breakdown. These are quotes for 7 windows replacement in a townhouse in Brooklyn NY. Let me know if you need anything else. Thanks for your United Windows reviews and pricing page - learning quite a bit that hopefully saves me money down the road.
Lowes: $10,900 Pella 150 Series
Window Repair NYC: $5962 United Windows Aluminum or $5230 United Windows Vinyl
Pella: $16,800 Pella 250
Home Depot: $7225 Simonton 6500 or $5567 Ply Gem 5100 Window
Windows We Are: $9000 Majestic series.

[Site Editor's Answer]
Ted, for me the best option here is the $9000 for the Ideal Majestic. My second pick would by the HD Simonton 6500 for $7225. Both of these windows are very solid. I much prefer the Ideal Majestic, but if you plan to be in the home for less than 10 years, then the Simonton option might be the best cost saver. Actually, the Ply Gem 5100 series for $5567 might be the best call for a timeline under 8 years. The United Windows aren't all that great to be honest, but if this were a house flip, I might consider this option.

New Jersey Replacement Windows
Can someone shed some light on which is the right choice for my replacement project in New Jersey? I have obtained quotes on United 700 series, BF Rich and the CertainTeed Bryn Mawrs for a double slider, two picture windows, four casements and a nine foot patio door. I have reviewed the quotes but they look very similar, they all offer similar features and warranties which has left me unsure on where to go from here.

I must admit I am not very keen on the CertainTeed windows which are now made by MI. United is a middle of the range window and I don't know that much about BF Rich. What I can tell you is that a lot will depend on your contractor.

I have only used CertainTeed once and that was due to a customer requesting them specifically and I'll never use them again. I can recommend United, they are popular in New Jersey and are durable windows. In fact they are what I have used on my own home.

United Windows vs Alside
I am replacing the windows in my home and so far have two estimates, one is on the Alside Excalibur and the other from United Windows. I really don't know much about windows so am struggling between the two. There isn't even much of a difference in price to help with my decision.
Aimeee - Homeowner - 2018
[Response]
Personally I would not recommend either of those. United is slightly better than Alside, but neither are considered as quality windows. The Excalibur's have a really bad reputation, they leak and have a poor design. If you don't want to end up spending money in the near future on new windows, I would recommend you have a look at Gorell, Okna and SoftLite Imperial LS.

Which Is The Better Option
I am in the process of replacing fourteen windows and have been shopping around and have a number of quotes. Basically there are three that are standing out, but I don't know which to go with. The one quote is for Eclipse, the salesman assured me they are quality windows and are considered the best choice, but when I did an online search I found a lot of complaints and overall there was a lot of negativity about these windows.
What I did find is that Okna seem to be the favored choice, but I wasn't overly impressed with their sales man who wasn't very clued up when I asked him questions about these windows. The final quote is for Horizon windows and from what I have read they seem to be in the middle, with some people loving them and others hating them. The three quotes, including the one from United, were similar in price, so I would really appreciate some advice on which one is the one I should go with.
Jason - Consumer - from 2016
[Installer Response]
I would say without a doubt, go with Okna. Horizons are manufactured by BF Rich and are considered average when it comes to replacement windows, where the Eclipse is actually manufactured by United and is considered their high end range. I would also recommend reading our United windows reviews webpage for consumer reviews.
