I live in a townhouse and wanted to replace the four single-pane aluminum windows that were installed when the townhouse was built more than 30 years ago. When standing next to these old windows, you could feel the heat during the summer and cold in winter. Very energy inefficient.
I looked at the various types of windows and spoke with different contractors. I had heard of Marvin windows (and the quality) but thought they would be too expensive for what I was looking for. I happen to see Renaissance Windows and Doors at a Houston home show and decided to compare them to other windows seen at the home show. WOWHAT A DIFFERENCE! There was a huge difference in quality with Marvin Integrity windows compared with other windows I saw. I was impressed.
After getting estimates from all of the contractors, I chose Renaissance and Marvin Integrity, because of the overall quality of the windows and installation from reviews and referrals. Sure, the windows were a bit pricy. But I found especially with Renaissance, you get what you pay for. I had the windows installed last spring. The installation went like clockwork and the installers kept everything clean. I cant feel the heat or cold when standing next to or touching the window. My electricity bill is now much lower.
