I had a client that had a house full of Pellas that where 25 years old. Nothing wrong with them just old and not as good as the new ones. So he wanted to update them with new Pellas right up until I gave him the quote that is.
I have another client that has a house full of Anderson windows He had 4 fail and wanted new ones had him sold on Pellas right up to the point of ordering them. Then when I went to order them we took a look around and noticed that every window in his house is rotten and he needs to replace them all. All of them are Anderson clad windows apparently about 20 years ago they had a problem with the way they put the cladding on and it lets the water in instead of keeping it out. When you look at the Anderson's if they still have a seam in the cladding to the out side of the sill stay far away from them.
I will tell you that the absolute best French door I have ever put in (over the past 25 years) was an Anderson.
All most every window company has the best window. They all have the worst one two. It's all in what grade you go for.
Also if you are not hooked up with a contractor for the Pellas and you go that route shoot me an email I might be able to get a few bucks off on them for you.
