• Warranty Limitations
• Premium Price Point
• High Installation Cost

Limited Warranty 

One downside of JELD-WEN is their limited warranty, which, while comprehensive, has received mixed reviews from customers regarding ease of filing claims. They offer a limited lifetime warranty on vinyl windows, a 20-year warranty on glass, and varying coverage for wood and aluminum-clad products, with their AuraLast® wood product protection for 20 years against rot and termites. However, the warranty excludes normal wear and tear and improper installation.

Premium Price Point 

Compared to other window manufacturers, JELD-WEN windows tend to be on the pricier side, especially for wood and custom models. While the quality and energy efficiency may justify the cost for many, budget-conscious homeowners may find these windows less affordable than alternatives like vinyl-only brands.

The average cost of JELD-WEN windows are between $150 to $950 per window depending on material, window type, size, customization options, and installation fees. Below is a general breakdown of the costs:

• Vinyl Windows: $300 to $700 per window (including installation)
• Wood Windows: $700 to $1,200 per window (including installation)
• Aluminum-Clad Wood Windows: $900 to $1,500 per window (including installation)
• Custom or Specialty Windows: Prices can exceed $2,000 per window, depending on the design and materials

Since these prices are averages, it is important to note that cost can fluctuate depending on your geographic location, window size, and the specific dealer or installer. Additionally, the installation costs can add around $100 to $500 per window, depending on labor rates and job complexity.

High Installation Cost

While JELD-WEN provides an extensive network of dealers and certified installers, the cost of installation can vary widely depending on your location and the complexity of the job. Improper installation can also affect the performance and longevity of the windows, so it’s essential to ensure you hire a qualified installer.
