Very Good Review. I live in the Atlanta area and just signed with window world. My home was built in 1996 and has aluminum windows and 8 out of 13 experiencing seal failure. I am replacing all of my windows with the 4000 series as well as a patio door. Your view was exactly what I needed to see.
Our home was built in 1953 and we'll be getting 18 new windows and a sliding door installed from Window World in a few weeks. It's going to be wonderful for us.
I just bought window world windows, they will be installed in a few months. Hope it goes well. Most of the stuff i've seen has been fairly encouraging.
If you want the worst caulking job on your windows hire window world. They also do not hold up their end in the warranty. They did the sloppiest caulking job on my windows then didn't make it right. I will warn you please do your research!
Sounds like a Windows World sponsored review; who else would have their advertising on the first page and such a professional video with such a positive pitch...
Why so negative? It's fun to get all your windows done and he sounds really happy to have the new windows. I know a lot of people who get into home renovations. My brother-in-law would be doing the same thing!
Steve White I put in Window World Windows on my previous home about 3 years ago and am looking to do so again at my new home I was very happy with the product and the process and price.
I find it amusing when mentioned that the old windows are builder grade, yes any home built has builder grade, but what you bought is considered builder grade in today's market...Window World windows are made by a company who puts their name on it...it's a low cost window option like what you buy at a hardware store...but if your happy your happy...
@@abigailarizmendi1261 hi, yes exactly...I work for a company that only offers high performance windows...WW windows are of builder/consumer grade...that are mass produced by a manufacturer that pumps them out for multiple window companies and puts their name on it...do not shop bottom line or you'll get exactly what you paid for...know who your doing business with, warranty disclosure, are they using subcontractors, what's the installation method...etc...WW is the Walmart of Window's...if you want the best performance window get the Provia Endure window...made by Omish & Menanite's out of Sugar creek Ohio...best made window I've ever seen & not the most expensive... they've won the Energy Star partner of the year award 13 times since 2002, and were chosen again for 2020... Just Google Provia.com or look up Provia windows on TH-cam. Good luck.
Why are you on every window world video talking shit?? Saying the same thing on literally every window world video. What did they do to hurt your feelings so bad?
@@55Mrcry Louis you are dead on, I sell windows too and yes Allside makes window worlds junk, they just spend a crap load of money to market themselves and it gets people to call, vinyl is vinyl but yes ProVia makes better products by far but I only sell true composite frames since plastic just doesn’t stand up in direct sun near as long.
@@joereeder I have a block home in the Tampa Bay area and recently received a quote for hurricane impact vinyl 2 lite double sliding windows from WW. The sales rep told me they use Wincore windows (which do not meet Miami-Dade code, but will pass inspection for my area) and CWS for the patio sliders. WW was less than their competitor's selling PGT and Simonton windows. PGT is very popular throughout FL, but they don't make double sliders. Not sure about Simonton as I was quoted for the StormBreaker Plus and was told both ends open, but my proposal says single slider. All the sales reps have said vinyl frame is better than aluminum. My house currently has non-impact aluminum single hung windows. Which frame do you think is better? I do not live near any water, but do get a lot of sun as my house is on the corner. Also, I haven't been able to find much info on Wincore windows. Do you know anything about them?
I would go with a good thermally broken aluminum window in a heartbeat if I could. Strong, doesn't expand as much as vinyl, and almost as thin as your old windows. I've heard that vinyl can even transmit more sound than aluminum in some cases. I prefer sideload sashes myself as they restrict less viewing area, are a little more energy efficient, and a little more secure. Leave it to the government to impose so many restrictions that most people have practically no choice but to buy ugly vinyl windows that look like cheap storm windows and have to be replaced more frequently.
Thanks, I am having a different franchise install some windows on my house. I heard they use a window made by a company called MI which is builders grade (low end). I am glad to hear your windows are holding up. That is somewhat reassuring to me. All of my research and reviews I read before I signed the contract stated they used Alside Windows which would be better than MI products.
@@keithfillinger3182 most Window World windows are Alside windows. The WW 4000 is the same as the old Alside Excalibur, which I now believe is the Alside Fusion
@@djtejas63 I believe Window World switched to MI Windows specifically the 1650 hundred series. All of the window spec's between Window World and MI windows were identical. I also had a few of the Window World 6000 Windows installed on my house. The frames and sashes on my windows were all narrow profile. My windows definitely did not have that and also looked like the MI 1650 series. I know they used to use windows made by AMI (maker of Alside). I have heard several other people mention they switched. All of my research prior to having Window World install windows on my house lead me to believe they used Alside windows. I only found out about the change after my windows were installed. I had Window World install a few windows on my house as an emergency repair. They were the worst windows I have ever seen. They were drafty, difficult to open, and just did not even look good as far as attention to details. My windows were so drafty that I had to caulk them shut. I do not have any idea as to how they got their Energy Star rating. They were that bad. I replaced them with windows made by Sunrise. The windows are a night and day difference.
Sorry to spoil the party but all vinyl windows are builder grade, vinyl is vinyl. Wait till the 1-5 pm sun beats on them for 8-10 yrs, huge chance of seal failures because vinyl is 7x weaker than the glass. Vinyl doesn’t have a decay or insulation concern, it has a stability issue which turns in a durability issue over the yrs. I sell windows for a living and see these issues daily, 80+ % of all the windows in our dumpsters are “limited” lifetime warranty vinyls. Plastic locks, aluminum spacers with a screw holding in your argon which was used in the late 80’s. Glass manufactures have moved on to vacuum sealed stainless steel spacers since 93 but not in inexpensive vinyl, only in higher end quality products. Now having said of this if I was flipping homes or wanted a cheap fix if I was selling in a 5 yr or less timeframe then I could see doing this, maybe.
What windows do you suggest? Looking to replace large windows in my old farmhouse. Are there quality windows I can get from home depot or lowes? Wife wants to go with window world because they're cheap, I don't because, well they're too cheap lol
@@haydengooding5124 short answer is yes you could buy any of Andersen’s retail windows at Home Depot, most of the problems will be the install which is why I’d never recommend a box store to buy your windows unless you know a good contractor you can hire whose been doing windows for yrs to do your install. I’f I was you I would go to Andersen.com and search for location on local Andersen resale locals and then look to see what local company has authorized certified Andersen installers. Their products have 7 lines or levels of quality and features. 100, 200, 400, 400 woodriight, renewal by Andersen, a-series & e-series. I listed the lines in order of quality build and features, they’re all available at any third party authorized Andersen dealer except renewal by Andersen are franchises that sell direct exclusive products in composite and are a really great product but not cheap but if you plan to stay in the home for a while might be a viable option as they have great financing options to afford their products. In the end all of these even the 100 series are light yrs ahead of any vinyl only windows and on the lower end are still price competitive
@@joereeder thank you for the info. The windows in my house are old, I mean really old. Hand poured glass, storm/winter windows when it gets cold, they're obviously wood, shakey in the tracks, and very thin single pane. I live in NY so I think anything would be an upgrade. My biggest issue is the windows are big. 7 of them are 33x65 and that's really looking expensive. What series/line would you personally suggest? Looking for something to obviously last a long time and have good insulating ability. I do have multiple reputable window installers in my area, so I will not be having any box stores do the install.
@@haydengooding5124 the best overall value in my opinion is the Andersen 400 series woodwright window, it’s a solid ponderosa pine window with the fibrex composite exterior, the 100 series is just too cheaply made and the 200 series can’t be custom sized and the regular 400 like the 200 has a vinyl clad exterior which is way less durable in the long term. You can get the smartsun glass which all of Andersen’s windows are purchased with insulated glass by Cardinal glass industries which sells to even the cheapest companies but only in non-insulated sheets only, Andersen let’s the glass experts seal it with stainless steel which is reimbursed 150% back to Andersen if one fails in 20 yrs, just the best company and best way to buy a great frame, glass and window features. You can get a pre-finished white interior with 7 different exterior colors if you choose. I’ve see everything out there and these are great overall products if installed correctly and really great for that climate. I do historic district stuff all the time and Andersen does really well for anything to fit these older homes needs

I installed Window World windows in my house last year, very happy so far.
Hi! How are your WW windows doing after 8 years? I'm going to change my windows and WW is one of the candidate.
@@DeepActually definitely worth the money, very happy with them.
@@armydlguy they will fail within 4-6 years...
please post a review
I cant complain they replaced our old single panes from 1966. Did a wonderful job, not one issue since new in 2012
please post a review

I'm pretty sure you've replaced those replacement vinyl windows by now, especially if you live in Florida.
Sounds like a Windows World sponsored review; who else would have their advertising on the first page and such a professional video with such a positive pitch...
Some one happy with their purchase.
Not only was it not sponsored, I paid $5074 for them to be installed.
I love the video!!!! really good info how many windows did you have installed

How did they install the windows? Do they just sit in the existing window pocket? How did they cover up the gap on the inside and outside?
window is smaller than opening... spray home and trim covers opening excess
Foam wrap....trim kit on the outside....industrial grade caulk!
If you want the worst caulking job you will ever find then hire window world!! You get what u pay for

No issues what so ever. Still look the same as day one.

Keith Fillinger I think it depends on the area of the country the window is sold. Here in Texas, they are identical to Alside windows.
Omg I couldn't handle the gum smacking while this guy talks. Edit that out!
Have you had any problems with color fade...or any other issues since uploading this?
fade is warranty
They only offer a 10-year fade warranty because they paint the acrylic on The sun will eventually eat it up.
this guy works for window world, so obvious. I also worked for window world. don't anymore. wonder why......
FYI Window World resells the windows made by M I. They are not well made at all. Start saving your money to buy a good window in the next 5 years.
that is NOT an MI window in the video....get informed!!!!
Got est. To much money.
