First the best answer is simple, there is no one best company in the country that can claim to make the best replacement windows. Best is a subjective statement and is in the eyes of the beholder. Each company is best at something and not on some - hence the presence of strengths and weaknesses. Keep this in mind as I mention a few companies below.

Here is a list of top companies that have been mentioned by a number of people in a survey I undertook some time ago.

1. Pellas: people loved the fact that they are quicker than most. They mostly do wood i.e. they make a vinyl line that is quite pleasant. They have also been around for a long time. However some people tend to think Pellas is over priced.

2. CertainTeed: was selected because it makes good windows.

3. Marvin: Are simply good at what they do. They can do sash replacements that look like original windows. Also have energy efficient windows.

4. Andersons: they have equipment that enables them to make real clear coated glass

5. Hurd: They make efficient glass especially for the north and south

6. Wincore Windows: These were selected because they are very knowledgeable about windows.

7. Alside: they offer factory installations and provide good customer support.

Other than these there are other responses that came up when I asked about who makes the best replacement windows. These were not as prominently mentioned but they showed up in my list: Simonton, Softlite, Traco, Xact and Park Avenue windows.

Most of these best replacement window companies have representation all over the country and one branch can perform better than the other. So before you pick any of them you need to learn more about them especially about the one in your area.
