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
@HoustonWindowExperts 3 жыл бұрын
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. The reason for the aluminum on the outside is so that it will withstand harsh weather and not rot. Marvin also makes a fiberglass product, you should check it out. I personally like the looks of the Pella impervia much better. It looks more luxurious in my opinion. Stay tuned for more videos soon!

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.

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

Anytime they install them like they did on your project, it was their way of saving time which equals saving money for them. It's too bad that they did not do things the best way possible. The only other reason I can see them doing that would be if there was something on the inside of the house that prevented them from coming in further. Do you have plantation shutters?

I hate to hear that. Sometimes it's the installer who creates function issues. We never hear that o the units we've installed. I'd look into why that's happening and consult with Pella to see what can be done. If there is a showroom nearby, go check out their samples and see if they are better.

Hey Jeff, thank you for the review. I found that almost every PRO on Houzz forum is advising against Pella and running from it like a plague, especially 250 and Impervia.. I am really confused by your positive review 🤔

I think that everyone, including myself, has a bias based on their experience. Pella makes windows that end up in many different distribution chains. If they end up in the hands of a company that does not deal with Windows exclusively, sometimes the complications and installing a quality product or overlooked. We have had no issues whatsoever with the Pella products. The minor issues we've had, have been quickly and easily resolved.

@@HoustonWindowExperts I think that personal experience aspect complicates the decision process for those spending lots of time online reading and watching reviews .. especially first time homeowners like me. For example, some of those pros mention that Impervia build quality is subpar and looks cheap compared to Marvin Essential which they consider superior

They must have a financial bias. I sell both and have a preference towards the Pella because of it's looks, fit, finish, and customer service.

You don’t see the accessory groove. It has an accessory in it.

You are correct, when there is an accessory in the groove. However, not every project requires an accessory.

I would be interested to hear your thoughts on the change to impervia 2.0. Much of what you like was not the case a short time ago.

Nothing about the maintenance required to keep the fiberglass warranty from being voided??? Their warranty is voided if you don’t paint them every year! It’s like having to paint my fiberglass boat every year. Definitely not into getting on a ladder to paint all 18 windows in my home every year for rest of my life. 😄
