"I replaced two large windows and two sliding glass doors. There were a lot of factors that went into my decision, and now that I've had my windows for about 2 years, I have some additional comments. First, price. Zen windows doesn't advertise, and they're not available in stores like Home Depot and Lowes. They also don't have that annoying high pressure salesman that is constantly leaving notes on your door like Anderson Windows. They don't do those things, which means they don't have to pay for those things, which means those costs aren't rolled into your costs, which means your costs are lower. Zen windows were among the lowest priced of all the ones I explored. Second, value. What is price, without value? Zen runs three different tiers, the top tier being an excellent triple pane window with insulating foam-filled frames, and they were STILL less expensive than competitors. Less than HALF the price of Andersen Windows. They offer a LIFETIME warranty, and free replacement. Someone breaks your window to get in your house? you get a free window. A dog goes through the window? A kid throws a baseball? Crazy sideways hail storm? You get a free window. But it's more than Zen windows. Zen actually sells windows from a large nationwide brand. I think it's "Softlite", but don't quote me. Anyway, their windows actually ALSO have a lifetime warranty through the manufacture. Zen windows goes out of business, but your window fails? You STILL get a free window. Next, my experience. I went with the triple pane windows, because they come with the foam-filled frames and were only like $50 more per window. But I went with the double pane sliding glass doors, because they would have been like $500 more per door. All in all, the new windows and doors are awesome, and I would totally buy them again. I only had three or four complaints or problems. 1-Their installer actually ordered the wrong sliding glass door for one of my applications. Instead of opening from left to right, and having a door in the corner of the bedroom, it would have opened from right to left. The door would have been behind the bed, and you would have had to step over an HVAC grate to use the door. Instead of offering a solution, the installer himself said "Well, is it ok? Can we just leave it?" NO! No you may not. But don't let this story deter you. The owner himself was more than apologetic. He knew that it wasn't ok, and never even hesitated. He rush-ordered the correct door, and knocked $50 off the total price. In the end, no issue. 2-SUPER tight seals. One of my sliding glass doors (not the one noted above) has a super tight seal. So much so that, when you're opening it, it doesn't open smoothly. About halfway, it hits extra friction and will get stuck. Then you have to give it extra oomph to open or close it. They said that it would loosen up over time, but 2 years later, it's still the same. This is both a good thing (great seals, great weather resistance) and a bad thing (difficult to use) so it speaks in both directions here. 3-mm off in size. One window is just a HAIR too big. I mean really, like 1-2 mm too wide. When you close both sides, the mechanism that locks the window doesn't line up perfectly, so it can be difficult to latch. It almost takes two people: one to pull with all their strength, the other to push the other window and close the latch. Almost. I'm exaggerating a little, but it's still an issue. 4-Cracked drywall. When the installation was done, there was a tiny crack about an inch long in the drywall over one installation. I was able to seal it with a couple coats of paint, so it's kind of another non-issue, but one I wanted to point out. These are the reasons I gave them a "B" for quality, but everything else is "A+" quality, and I recommend them to all of my friends."
