We just had Pella out to our home and bought the Impervia windows. The sample looked so great compared to our old windows. Our old windows were vinyl, builder grade, and lasted about 20 years (which is great). The color of the glass in the Impervia windows was more of a green/gray color and we did notice that difference. We are having six windows replaced. Two of the window are fixed (one of which has a "dome" shape at the top) and the other four are single hung. All have grids on the inside, however, we did not get grids on the "dome" part as we thought that would look more modern (we did get grids on the lower part of this window as this window is considered two windows). The total cost was $16,500. They wanted half up front and the remainder upon completion. We did not finance and they gave us the cash "discount." We put it all on our credit card with no additional fees. Lead time is about eight weeks.

Jeff, I have some feedback that may be useful on owning these windows in Texas. I’ve had them for two years in black, and they have been great for the most part. They still look mostly new after cleaning. One piece of advice I have is to get the glass spotless if you’re going to clean them. I gave them a “quick clean” one day and left some slight streaks on the outside. The sun baked them in and now I can’t get those streaks out. Another small thing that annoys me is the cheap plastic pull tab on the screens. One summer in the west Texas sun and they all disintegrated. I called pella and they sent me more tabs to install. I was frustrated that they expected me to do it myself after paying 5 figures for brand new windows 6 months before. I didn’t bother because they will just disintegrate again. So getting the screens out is slightly more difficult than it should be, but overall that’s a small thing.

I have watched every single video of yours and I think you and your wife seem like great people and I would hire you in a heartbeat if you only lived closer!!! When it comes to windows, your videos are the best information I’ve seen on-line yet. I live in PA where we get cold winters. We live in an old farm house which was remodeled 20 years ago with Anderson windows. My husband and I have not been pleased with the Anderson product and want to try a different line. To say the least I am getting confused. The Marvin Ultimate looked appealing to me especially when you said they are made in Minnesota and they know what they are doing when it comes to cold weather. But, I thought that aluminum was not energy efficient and that fiberglass was better? Which Marvin window is most energy efficient for cold weather? I just watched your video on Pella Impervia and because it is a fiberglass/composite I am asking if this would be the better choice? Thanks so much, Vonnie

Thank you for watching all my videos! then Marvin window video that you watch was describing a wood window that had an aluminum exterior. Wood windows are also very good at insulating.

Hey Jeff, love all your videos. I still watch them even after buying replacement windows. I ended up buying all new Pella Impervia replacement windows. The installer went around, measured and never gave any concerns. After install, I asked them why they are sticking out so far from the window trim and they said they're sealed and won't leak. After Googling, they seem to have done a insert replacement rather than a full jamb replacement. They ensure me that they won't leak. But just after our first rain storm, the window glass had so much rain on them from constant dripping, I can tell they'll always be dirty. At least our old aluminum windows were flush with the trim and the flashing above deflected the dripping rain out away. I read through my install contract and it doesn't specify insert or full replacement. What are your thoughts on a window protruding almost a half inch past the siding and trim board around the exterior window? I'd have to either buy thicker trim or do you think they're trying to get away with poor planning? Please advise

@@HoustonWindowExperts “Color Change It is important to note that fiberglass is not as bright as conventional glass windows, but fading of the original color of the glass is a prominent issue on fiberglass windows. Homeowners are having a hard time keeping the outside panel from fading. Fiberglass is sensitive to ultraviolet (UV) light and will fade if exposed to Ultraviolet light rays for a long time. To maintain the window’s original appearance, a long-lasting external coating is required. If you live in a warm environment, consider installing fiberglass windows on walls that aren’t exposed to direct sunlight. Another downside of fiberglass windows is their color variations. They are typically tinted rather than gel-coated because they are designed to last longer. So if you want colored windows other than black or transparent to match your house design, search for other alternatives such as colored and reflective glass.” todayshomeowner.com/windows/guides/fiberglass-windows-problems/

The 350 is discontinued but the Pella Impervia is an excellent product that would give you the performance you need for New York weather. It does have the option of a foam-filled frame for additional insulation.

@@HoustonWindowExperts Given the Pella 350 is discontinued, are the Pella 250 any good? Separately, what's your thoughts on Marvin Infinity compared to Pella Impervia?

All of Pella vinyl windows use the exact same ingredients. They are just different extrusions for different applications. You would be happy with any of their Vinyl products. I like both of the fiberglass products available from Pella and Marvin. That would be a tough call. In this case, the installer would be the deciding factor.

A better choice than Pella would be plastic wrap and duct tape. They are terrible windows. Every window in my house leaks and the customer service is terrible. No remorse. No help. They have done considerable damage to my house because of leaking windows. Check out the class action suit and the reviews. Positive ones are new, and the people haven't noticed them leaking yet.

Are the pella and Anderson windows that are sold in Home Depot and lows the same quality as the ones you sell?
@HoustonWindowExperts2 жыл бұрын
Some of the products they offer are. Many are not and they also limit them to certain sizes and may not allow for customization. When buying a replacement window you will want to be able to get the custom sizes and a qualified installer. Check out JeffsList.com to see if we know of a great window company near you.
