Milgard Windows vs Andersen - which of these companies wins head-to-head? Let's check it out.

Milgard Windows And Doors - Milgard is a West Coast based company that has been around for over 75 years. They run six factories and manufactures 6 to 7 separate window models or series. Their two most popular series are the Tuscany and the Trinsic, both mid range vinyl windows. The company sells their products through local companies, who then sell directly to consumers. They also sell to larger builders and developers, looking to put in cost-effective vinyl windows in larger residential and commercial projects.

Reputation - Milgard has a reputation that is decent to pretty solid I would say. In the industry, they sell a lot of their entry-level vinyl series to large builders, which overtime affects the overall reputation of the company itself.

Andersen Windows And Doors - The company has been around for over 100 years and is based in the state of Minnesota. The company does not make all that many window and door series - 4 in total, although they also have a franchise called Renewal by Anderson. The company is best known for making premium wood windows and doors. The company also makes a 100 composite series that they sell in all of the Home Depot stores. Anderson sells through local companies, through contractors and builders, and through the Home Depot big box stores.

Reputation - AWD enjoys one of the better reputations in the industry, especially for a large scale operation such as they run. They are known for their high-quality wood clad doors and windows. Their sister company, Renewal, has a slightly less exulted reputation in the industry. Because the Renewal composite series tends to be very costly, it does create a lot of Renewal consumer complaints, that certainly affect their overall reputation.

Milgard Brand Score: 7.0 (out of 10)

Andersen Brand Score: 8.5 (out of 10)
