It’s been great. The only problem we had was that one of the locks wasn’t lining up. When we notified LePage the owner of the company (or one of the main guys at least) came to Bed Stuy himself to fix it.

I thought that LePage was less $ than Marvin. We were told that it’s the same quality but because LePage doesn’t put as much money into marketing, they are able to keep costs down and pass that along to the consumer. Perhaps that has changed.

I’d also recommend S&E Building Supply. They were the ones who turned us on to LePage.

Please tell me about your experiance with LePage. Considering LePage and Marvin, prices are about the same. Hard time finding any reveiws on LePage

Back in 05/6 the salesman at Modern Way said they were flying off the shelf, very popular with a lot of the new construction in PS, so it might be a good time to ask how they’re performing….

Oh, I bounced it off Brownstoner twice already.

4th and…Pacific? Dean?
LaPage is in Canada, right?
I used Bonneville windows for replacement back in 05/6 and at the time I was trying to save even more $ than Marvin and used their bottom of the line. Seemed like a good alternative, and they were…but in retrospect I should have compared the features more closely and probably used the top of the line instead, which if I remember correctly, would have still been cheaper than Marvin.
Better bounce it off Brownstoner…I’m sure someone has had a really bad experience, which is worth listening to I guess…

When I went to research Bonneville, I found out that the original Bonneville family was forced out of the company a few years ago and started Le Page. So Le Page IS Bonneville! But Bonneville is still Bonneville, only new owners.

What lumber yard on 4th?

The lumberyard on 4th Avenue used to rep them, don’t know if they still do.
Cheaper than Marvin, can be wood inside/alum outside. Best to go with their top of the line I think…

I also have craptastic vinyl windows that leak so badly it seems just as effective to leave them wide open. Ugh. Priced out some replacements but wasn’t sold on anything for that kind of money. Hoping you find exactly the right thing so I can copy. 🙂

I’ll invite you to the deck building party. 😉

Love your discoveries. Envious of all the great discoveries and projects on your plate, but never of the costs involved. Still dreaming of the shoe bathtub.

Can’t wait to hear more about this window project.
