In this part of the video, the speaker reviews Window World and provides insights into the company’s operations and offerings for 2024. Window World, established in 1995 in Wilmington, North Carolina, aimed to sell affordable vinyl windows nationwide. Now with over 200 franchises, the branches independently operate and may carry different windows despite similar labeling, like the Window World 3000, 4000, or 6000 Series. A key point is the importance of knowing the exact window model being purchased, given the relabeling practice. Additionally, the speaker advises consumers to check local online reviews for quality installation services. Window World does not manufacture its own windows; instead, it sells rebadged products from other manufacturers.

In this segment of the video, the speaker discusses Window World’s products and pricing strategies in the vinyl window industry. They note that Window World offers various brands, primarily builder-grade vinyl windows, but their 6000 series, often the Alside Ultramax, is considered a decent mid-tier option. Recently, some branches have started selling Simonton Windows, viewed as an upgrade. The company often advertises a low teaser price, but additional features like screens, Low-E glass, and foam-filled frames increase the final cost. The speaker advises getting multiple bids from different companies to compare prices, window features, and company reputations. They conclude that Window World’s lower-end windows may not provide a good long-term investment despite a lifetime warranty and suggest that their premium windows are worth considering if priced competitively.
