Alside Windows Prices
Alside windows prices range from $450 to $850 fully installed, depending on the upgrades, options and who you buy the window from. Alside has been around for over six decades and manufactures a number of vinyl windows that range from low end vinyl windows like the Excalibur to very solid mid range vinyl window models such as the Ultramaxx.
Alside has a bit of a mixed reputation in the industry, depending on who you ask and which window you ask them about. Their detractors say the company uses shoddy design and construction, as evidenced by their use of the snap in window sill for most, but not all, of their windows use (the Sheffield and Mezzo do not use this pocket sill). A fair number of window installers and industry experts feel that this is a poor overall design (a welded sloped sill is the preferred design choice, but is more expensive to manufacture). These same industry experts have also pointed to inconsistencies in the batch production
There are other contractors and industry experts who feel that Alside makes a decent vinyl replacement window (with the exception of the Excalibur). Alside offers a limited lifetime warranty on most of their windows and the newer models such as the Mezzo will be transferrable to the next homeowner. I'm not the biggest fan of Alside Windows, but the Mezzo and the Ultramaxx are decent windows, assuming the replacement window cost is competitive.

Alside Windows Cost
While our window installation cost calculator provides accurate ballpark pricing, it can never take into account all of the factors that come into play when a company bids out your project. Nonetheless, these price estimators are a great place to start.
Alside offers a lifetime limited warranty on their vinyl windows that protects against material and workmanship defects on the mainframe and sash. It also provides a lifetime warranty on all moving parts, the fiberglass screen and frame, as well as the insulated glass unit. For the first year, Alside will cover the labor costs of replacing or repairing the windows, after that the homeowner is responsible for the cost of the labor.
Alside Windows Warranty Information
The warranty is transferrable, although the company offers a prorated schedule to subsequent owners as to the percentage cost that they will offer. Exclusions and limitations exist, so we urge consumers to read the entire warranty prior to purchase.

The Alside Mezzo vinyl window is the newest vinyl window option from the company. The company sells the Mezzo model by far more than any of their other window lines. When you think of Alside vinyl windows, it pretty much comes down to the Mezzo.

The Ultramaxx from Alside is one of the company's higher end vinyl windows. It still gets mixed reviews from installers, mainly because of the snap in sill, which many consider an inherent design flaw. The Ultramaxx is considered the one window in the Alside lineup that homeowners should consider if the price point is right. I tend to agree with this opinion.

The Excalibur was the entry level vinyl window from Alside that was a popular, but unimpressive, model. It used to be the model that Window World sold for their "famous" $189 special - see all Window World prices here.

The Sheffield was a step up from the Excalibur, but wasn't a top rated vinyl window by any means. The Alside Sheffield was an obsolete window at this point.

I have received a bid for ProVia EcoLite windows for 8 windows and an Alside Promenade patio door for $6228 - installed. I am in Louisville Colorado. What is your opinion of these products and pricing?
Reta, the ProVia EcoLite window is a good mid range vinyl window. I would have it in my home. I'm sort of 50/50 on the Alside doors. Incidentally, ProVia makes excellent doors, that's where the company got their start. You may want to have them give you a quote on their patio doors just to see how they compare.
I have a nicer home with wood windows where some need replaced. I'm looking at Alside Mezzo and Stanek vinyl windows. I have no idea how to shop for replacement windows. Are these two quality? How do they compare? Should I stay with wood? Is there a better option that would be more fitting for a home valued around $300K? My zip code is 44060. Thank you for any guidance.
Laurie, I would say that the Alside Mezzo is a middle of the road vinyl window. I like the Stanek better, I would put that in the high end of the mid range vinyl window market. I would definitely recommend making the jump from wood to vinyl, unless you HAVE TO HAVE wood for aesthetics reasons. A quality vinyl window makes so much more sense for most homeowners -- price, warranty, maintenance, performance.

In terms of pricing, I think the quote is very fair. I would suggest getting two more just to see what else is out there. You may be able to use a lower quote to go back to the rep who gave you theProvia bid and see if he will match it. Nothing like a little competition to drive down the bid price :)
Alside and Amerimax windows should have companies in your area that carry these brands. These would be comparable to the ProVia/Alside bid you have.

I would get a couple more bids if I were you -- see if local companies carry Okna, Sunrise, Soft-Lite, Zen, Polaris, or even to see what Wallside windows cost. Feel free to shoot me the bid price, series, and project price and I can weigh in on what I think is your best option.
