PGT Windows Cost And Quotes
PGT Custom Windows And Doors is a Venice, Florida based manufacturer of both impact and non impact windows and patio doors. The company has been in business since 1980 and is well known throughout the state for their quality products and most especially their impact windows. Scroll down for a basic description of each series, along with ratings, consumer reviews and PGT windows cost on each.
The company sells three main product lines, including the WinGuard, EnergyVue, and ClassicVue Max series. While PGT keeps things relatively simple with their 3 series, there individual naming series is confusing. Under each fo their series we have included the styles offered, along with the rather confusing “number” that they use to label their windows. Hopefully, hits makes sense.

Winguard PGT SH 5500 Vinyl vs Apex Insignia
Hi there, looking for either single or double hung windows -- one of my windows is a big picture window that is going to be expensive. So far, I have received three bids from local companies and I have no idea what to do. As an aside, I felt very comfortable with each of these companies - there was no high pressure sales from them and I thought their salesperson was pleasant.
We live in Tampa Florida and we are replacing the original aluminum single-pane, single hung windows from the early 1990s. All of the price quotes below are broken up into the total price quote and the installation cost involved with each.
West Coast Windows Bid
PGT SH 5500 Vinyl
Project Bid: $13.8K ($3K installation)
Carrollwood Window & Door Bid
PGT SH 5400 Vinyl
Project Bid: $7.7K ($1.65K installation)
Apex Window Bid
Insignia DH Vinyl
Project Bid: $10.8K ($3.8K installation)

Don, those are very different bid prices. First off, I do really like the PGT SH 5500 and 5400 series, as well as the Apex Insignia options. All good quality windows. The price difference between Carrollwood and West Coast is crazy. I wouldn't be able to pull the trigger on the West Coast bid myself.
However, I don't love Carrollwood's online reviews all that much either. If they could convince me that their installation quality is top notch, then I would pull the trigger for them. If not, I'd go with the Apex option.

WinGuard Replacement Windows Question
We're replacing just 5 total windows and are upgrading from non impact to impact windows due to the codes here in Florida. upgrade to impact windows here on the coast of Florida. Currently, I am debating between Custom Window Systems and PGT WinGuard. Pricing wise, they are very close to one another with the WinGuard coming in at $1635 a piece for the CA5540 casement and CWS at $1615 each for the Hurricane Guard casement.

Pamela, both CWS and PGT are well regarded impact window manufacturers in the state of Florida. Quality wise, they are very close with the edge in my opinion going to PGT (I also prefer their overall look to CWS). For me, this would have to come down to the installation company that will do the work. You have two strong products that are very close in quality and price. Now, you need to do the installation company comparison. By the way, the price points for each seem quite fair.

PGT Windows Cost Impact Quote
Bill, we've been considering replacing our windows and doors and upgrading to impact. So we live here in Naples Florida and live approx. a mile and a half from the beach and have received three price / project quotes on the following: 12 windows, 4 sliding windows, and 2 entry doors. So happy to have found your site and I really appreciate you taking the time to help us out.
ES Elite Impact Windows $45K
PGT Winguard CA5540 And Sliding Doors $95K
Renewal By Anderson Impact Windows: $132K

[Site Editor's Answer]
Jason, whoa, those are three amazingly different price points. ES Windows doesn't get the best reviews, but if you could convince me that's their installation team would do a good job, then this would be my call. Basically, I'm having a hard time wrapping my head around paying $96K to PGT for 16 replacement impact windows and two sliding doors. The Renewal By Andersen prices quote is even crazier and I didn't even consider this option as it is so expensive.

Winguard 5500 Series Impact Windows
Bill, love to hear your thoughts on the following: This is on 14 impact windows that we are upgrading from non-impact.
WeatherTite Impact Windows: $25,817
PGT 5500 Impact Windows: $21,618
Does this seems like a total ripoff. So I'm leaning toward going with the PGT 5500 over the WeatherTite option. What say you?
Anne - Homeowner - from 2023
[Site Editor's Answer]
Anne, I totally agree with you on the PGT vs WeatherTite windows. Both companies do manufacture quality impact windows, but I would probably rate PGT slightly better overall than WeatherTite. So the fact that PGT is less expensive makes this an easy decision. Best of luck on the project and thanks for using our service!

ClassicVue Sliding Glass Door Pricing
Hey Bill, I've been reading lots of your reviews and pricing, which has been invaluable as we weed through this very difficult process and one that I DO NOT want to go through ever again. At any rate, we are looking to replace two 6 foot patio sliders and an 8 foot patio slider for our home outside of Tampa. We've gotten three bids and don't have any idea which of these is the best deal. Could you give us your take? Thanks. We filled out your form and this is what we got -- I think PGT and CWS are both considered good windows right?
CWS Comfort Shield Glass Door Prices: $12.2K
PGT ClassicVue Glass Door Prices: $8.1K
Window World Align Glass Door Prices: $6.8K

[Site Editor's Answer]
Deborah, happy to help out and thank you for filling out the form -- this does help us provide free advice so thank you. The best option in my opinion is the PGT ClassicVue series. This is a very good patio slider and offers more value in my estimation than either of the other two options. In fact, I would say that the ClassicVue is as good or better than either the CWS Comfort Shield or the Align series. This would be my goto in this match up. Please let me know if you have any additional questions! All the best.

CWS Aria vs
Hi, we're going to replace 2 patio sliders and 12 windows for our home in the Northeastern section of Florida. Up to this point we have bids on Custom Window Systems using their Aria series picture windows and MI 1615 series slider doors. This bid is $11,575. Our other option is for the PGT ClassicVue picture windows and the same series patio sliding doors. This bid is for $12,925.
So my question for you is which window / door combination is the better move here? Thanks in advance for all that you do for hapless homeowners like myself.
Jessie - Homeowner - from 2020
[Site Editor's Answer]
Jessie, I definitely think the PGT project quote is my first choice.While both CWS and PGT both make very good windows and doors, I'm not sure I can say the same thing for MI Windows. I guess I'm a little confused why the company that gave you a bid didn't just go with CWS patio sliders as well. Seems odd to me.
And yes, the PGT bid is more expensive, but I think the delta is minimal compared with the added long term value and ROI that you hopefully will receive. Finally, I would love to see one or two more bids as another data point, but with what you have right now, I like the PGT over the CWS / MI option. Best of luck on your upcoming project.
