Review: Pella Windows Vs. ThermaLast

Before you choose a replacement window, make sure you’ll feel good about it for years. Energy efficiency, appearance, and cost all matter. Pella windows are definitely beautiful. But what about the other two features?

 A good looking window won’t do you any good if it’s costing you money on your energy bill or if it’s a lot of work to maintain. Both the Pella 250 Series and ThermaLast double hung windows perform well in these areas. But there is only one clear winner.

Pella 250 windows offer some protection from the sun, just not as much as we do.

ThermaLast Windows from Windows & Doors by the Men with Tools are simply the best energy efficient windows you can find. Even the National Fenestration Rating Council says so!

The Bottom Line: We set the standard for energy efficient double pane windows. Our exclusive ThermaLast windows can save you between 7-50% on your energy bill.

 These numbers are on the conservative side. But here’s a glimpse at how much money you could be saving on your annual electricity and heating bills by switching to ThermaLast!

Window Style and Appearance

The Pella 250 Series is a popular choice for vinyl windows. The classic style of window is beautiful. But if you prefer the look of wood windows, your options are extremely limited.

 You can try the Pella Lifestyle Series. But the aluminum-clad wood won’t perform like vinyl.

With us, you get the best of both worlds. ThermaLast is available in a gorgeous molding that resembles wood-grain. They provide better insulation than wood and still look great.

The Pella 250 Series, or ThermaLast?

It’s always going to be up to you to choose the best windows for your needs. But what would you rather have; a window that will only last you a limited time or one that lasts a lifetime? 

 Pella makes a great window. But it will only last you about 15-30 years with limited energy efficiency and an even more limiting warranty.

 ThermaLast from Windows & Doors by The Men with Tools lasts up to 50 years. If you have any issues with wear and tear or glass breakage, we’ll fix it free of charge. Our lifetime warranty even applies if you break your windows by accident.

 We offer the most energy efficient window you’ll find on the market.

 When you choose ThermaLast, you could cut your energy bill by as much as half!

 That means you’ll get some of the best return on your investment out of any other home improvement project you might take on, now or in the future. Do Pella windows offer you that same sense of satisfaction?

 If you’re looking for a beautiful window that’s reliable and long-lasting, ThermaLast is your best bet. Our ThermaLast windows are energy efficient, have a great warranty, and come available with virtually endless design options. 

 Get started on your window replacement right away with our no money down financing.

 We’d love an opportunity to show you everything ThermaLast windows have to offer. You can only get them from Windows & Doors by The Men With Tools!

Window Installation

A Window is Only as Good as The Company Installing It

Even the best window in Staten Island & New Jersey will fail if it’s poorly installed. It’s not a matter of if, but when. And when will be sooner than later if your window installer cuts corners and uses second-rate materials.

We’re just as picky about the installation as we are about what window brands we sell. From our Exclusive Thermal Break 60 Installation System to paying our top-notch installers much more than the industry average, we do everything in our power to ensure you receive a world-class installation. It’s why we protect your investment with a TRUE Lifetime Warranty on labor, materials… and even homeowner mishaps!

A Reputation You Can Trust

On time, courteous, respectful and friendly crew. Addressed any concerns that I had in a professional manner. Great price. Quality product and high quality clean workmanship. This is the type of service that is very hard to come by today. Highly recommended!

Mike T.

Finally, a company I can trust! Thank you so much for your impeccable work and awesome attitude. It’s so greatly appreciated. One thing I can say with certainty, you can sleep well knowing that your job will be handled by professionals. John, you rock!

Lily Z.

From the getgo the salesperson was on time, knowledgeable and friendly. The crew who came to put in my new window were professional and cleaned up before they left. The window I chose is beautiful. No hot or cold air penetrating this window.

Catherine A.

Yes! Found exactly what I was looking for. Needed it very quickly. They were very cooperative and helpful even with my immediate need. The product was promised and delivered on time! I found their selection terrific and their customer service top notch.

Dennis M.

John and his crew were absolutely amazing. You always have reservations when hiring someone but those concerns were quickly allayed once I met John. I had two entry doors changed and I couldn't be happier with the work. I intend to use them again...

Frank G.

This company is amazing. I searched all of NJ for a replacement window company and got three quotes which were ridiculous. I found The Men With Tools on Google and gave it a shot. Not only were they cheaper but their work was amazing. Highly recommend.

Shelly R.

On more than one occasion, members of their staff have gone above and beyond to deliver exceptional customer service, from rushing a re-order to providing product samples. Their work ethics are outstanding and I highly recommend them to all our clients.
