Jeff Ludy, you are an outstanding speaker...very interesting & honest...your videos are very informative and fun to watch.
Thank you for watching!
Jeff - my wife and i have 38 windows to replace so its a huge project. I have been completing a ton of research on windows and just pleased to have obtained all the information that we need from your videos. We love that your not just pushing 1 or 2 brands, but you give your perspective on every window. This has helped us narrow our search from the andersen to the marvin. Although we live in Pittsburgh, we wish you had your business here and we would sign a contract with you ASAP. Thanks for the information.
Thank you for watching and your comment. I am confident you're on the right track!
By the way, I started a website to help people locate a great window company near them. We may have someone in your area. Please visit TheWindowExperts.com
I think this Marvin Ultimate is a winner! Thanks for the demo!!!
Great product!
I’ve been investigating all major brands and Marvin is a good window.
Great video!
I have a 1940 home and I've had these windows priced in the Bay Area, CA. here's my question: one contractor insists that installing a new construction is the way to go because he can weatherproof better AND he claims the installation of a replacement window (same model) will give us a smaller glazed area because it is replacement instead of new construction. Is that true?
That is correct.
Looking at whole house window replacement (13 windows). How does this compare to the Marvin infinity? Which would you choose? Thanks.
They are not the same. The Ultimate is a wood window with aluminum exterior. The Infinity is all fiberglass with an Everwood interior option.
Hi Jeff, could you please make a video about the marvin elevate series? I'm really interested on that product.
Thanks for the information in all your videos.
Yes, it's on our list. We will do that soon. Thank you for watching
Would you ever consider reviewing the Marvin modern series? There’s practically nothing out there for it except install videos.
Good idea
It really is an ultimate window! ❤
Will the pine warp overtime compared to a hardwood like Mahogany?
As long as it stays dry it'll be fine.
I really appreciate all your videos and have watched a good many of them. I would come in and have you guys do my windows but I am in Minneapolis and that seems like a bit of a drive, do you know of any good window shops in the Minneapolis area? Also in your opinion who makes the best wood casement window?
Thank you for watching. You can email our office, I think we know somebody in your area that we can recommend.

Hi Jeff, can you please make a video discussing marvin signature modern and if anything else competes with it in the looks and finish? I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Good idea. I need to get my hands on one first.. I'll look into this.
@@HoustonWindowExperts thank you! There isn’t much information about that line except Marvin’s own videos.
I've noticed.
Here on the west coast, These modern Windows have a lead time of 26-28 weeks!! And majority contractors are telling me that Marvin is prioritizing only its “elite” dealers at this time and it will be a while before these are available for other installers. And surprisingly, I have found only one Marvin installer in the area. Marvin’s rep also confirmed that in the bay area, they only have suppliers and that I’d have to get my own installer. Finding just an installer for Marvin is even harder because no one seems to “just” install windows. All installers I have spoken to so far do the installation only if you buy the windows from them as well. Compared to Anderson or Milgard this is a very different experience for me.
I'm sorry to hear you're having those issues. I can understand why that is the case because there are very few Marvin dealers in comparison to milgard dealers. Since Marvin is a more expensive product, many window installers are not comfortable installing those products without factory experience. Give them a little more control over the market and that sense.
what is a best curtain window (Wall to WAll) and tuck it in kind of set up
I'd say that Fleetwood is the very best but a few other companies do a fair job also.
How would you compare Marvin ultimate series with Windsor Pinnacle ? The Windsor looks more like a true wood window but it is priced with the elevate... Both the Windsor seem to have the same sash to bottom meeting method. (not sure how to technically call it). Windsor has a consealed jambliner, seems to have cleaner weather stripping yet some how The Windsor Pinnacle is not energy star rated. so weird. Also a lot of hate on the internet for Windsor.
Hi, in my opinion, marvin ultimate is a notch above but at a price. Ignore the hate on the web, it's there for every brand.
@@HoustonWindowExperts hey thank you for your reply .
That makes sense.! Small notch 30-40% more...
For the same price . What do you think of elevate vs pinnacle ? Doesn't seem like a comparison
Windsor for sure in that case.
Jeff congratulations for having best windows and doors channel on TH-cam! Love it
Thank you!
Jeff, how do Marvin windows compare to Fleetwood price, quality and value wise? Looking at Coastline or elevate glider by Marvin vs Fleetwood slider 530 T series. Windows will be 36x60
They are completely different materials and styles. Fleetwood will cost more, for sure.
Is this Ultimate Double Hung G2?
Yes it is.
@@HoustonWindowExperts and what is G2? how does a Ultimate Double Hung G2 differ from Ultimate Wood Double Hung?
Jeff thank you for all of your videos! They've been incredibly helpful as we shop for windows for our home. If I lived in Texas I would certainly buy from you. We're deciding between the Marvin Ultimate and Marvin Elevate and weighing whether the extra cost for the Ultimate is worth it. Aside from the Ultimate's features like the nice lock on the more historic depth and proportions, how do you think the exterior fiberglass will hold up (especially with a dark color) as opposed to the extruded aluminum cladding? We will eventually be buying French Doors as well so that is a consideration between the two lines.
Thank you for watching and your question. Any of the choices you mentioned will be great and hold up very well in the sun. It's more about aesthetics at that point.
Good luck.
Are there storm windows then too?
If you're referring to a window that is installed over the existing window, they do not offer that. The only storm windows they offer are windows that are designed to be in hurricane rated areas that require storm resistant windows. It is a full window unit, not an add-on.
In your opinion what is the most durable window manufacture in the world
Yikes... It depends on the application.
@@HoustonWindowExperts anti-burglary windows, long last, high technology of assambling
Pella
@@HoustonWindowExperts thank you
Sure
Hi there! I wish you were near me, but if i may pick your brain, What brand would you go for a patio sliding door, most importantly, what do you suggest for 72 inch wide 36 inch half round to go over patio slider? Marvin in all fiberglass is 700 dollars cheaper than their elevate series. seems like the radius half circle is very expensive to do in wood. Thanks.
@bardia fiberglass can't be bent and that's why they had to go with their wood series product. If you want everything to match you will need to fork out the dough.... ;(
Otherwise, consider a ultra-premium vinyl product. Look for Windsor, Amsco, Sunrise or any other brand that's very well made.
@@HoustonWindowExperts thank you for the suggestions, im not set on marvin.(its just a dream). I was thinking high end like provia. Unfortunately we don't have those brands near me. The dealers are just installers, so they won't sell to me. thoughts on provia? I know you don't carry it. But im sure there is a reason why you don't. Any reason? Are the other brands you carry better in your opinion? Every thing does seem to be 50 dollars+- from each other at this point.
I see.... Provia makes doors. I'm assuming their windows are great.
