After months of delays, our Milgard windows finally showed up yesterday. Gotta say, despite the frustrating wait, the quality is pretty impressive. Curious if anyone else had a similar experience where the wait actually paid off in the end?
Glad to hear the quality turned out solid after all that waiting. I've installed quite a few Milgard windows over the years, and while they're generally reliable, I wouldn't always say the long wait necessarily translates into better quality. Sometimes delays are just supply chain hiccups or logistical issues rather than extra care or craftsmanship.
Had a client last year who waited nearly four months for their order—similar situation to yours. When the windows finally arrived, they were good, but honestly not noticeably better than another client's set that arrived in just three weeks. So, while it's great your patience paid off this time, I'd caution against assuming delays automatically mean higher quality. Glad it worked out for you though...enjoy the new windows!
That's interesting to hear, actually...I just got my Milgard windows installed after a pretty long wait too. Honestly, I was starting to worry if they'd ever show up, haha. But now that they're in, I'm relieved—definitely solid quality, but yeah, probably just supply chain stuff rather than extra craftsmanship.
Glad you finally got yours installed—I remember when I ordered Milgard windows a couple years back, it was a similar story. Took forever to arrive, and I was convinced they'd forgotten about me entirely. But honestly, once they were in, I wasn't totally blown away. Don't get me wrong, they're decent windows and all, but I didn't feel like the quality justified the long wait or the premium price tag. Maybe it's just me being picky after doing so many DIY projects, but I've installed other brands that felt just as sturdy and arrived quicker.
Funny enough, my neighbor went with a lesser-known brand around the same time, and his windows showed up weeks earlier. We joked about it a bit—he got to enjoy his new windows while I was still staring at plywood covers. Anyway, glad you're happy with yours though...maybe Milgard stepped up their game since then.
