Harvey Building Products owns Northeast Building Products. Harvey purchased Northeast in 2018 which continues a trend we’ve seen of consolidation of the smaller window manufacturers. Harvey also owns Soft-Lite windows.

Yes. We have heard from readers that some Power salesmen have told them that Power “makes their own windows”. This is not true. Power Home Remodeling purchases windows from Northeast Building Products.

They’re perfectly fine but unremarkable. Northeast Building Products uses a range of features that are available to many or even most window manufacturers. The efficiency ratings are very comparable to ratings you’d see from many other manufacturers.

The pricing for windows from Northeast Building Products will vary greatly depending on the dealer who is selling you the windows. Some of the companies selling Northeast windows will use high pressure sales tactics to try to inflate the prices and then offer you a super special deal if you sign today. This is almost never a good deal. It is a strategy designed to separate you from your money. It is our advice to never buy from companies who use sales tactics like this.

The warranty on windows from Northeast Building Products is decent, but it’s not as good as you’ll see from other manufacturers. For example, they only cover stress cracks in the glass for 90 days and there is no coverage at all for accidental glass breakage or labor. This can be a big issue if you have problems with your windows shortly after installation.

Most windows from Northeast Building Products are custom made so it will take time for the windows to be made and delivered for installation. We would expect to see these windows in 4 weeks or so but lead-times will vary throughout the year. You should ask your dealer about the current lead times if you’re thinking of buying these windows.

No. We’ve heard from customers that salesmen from Power Home Remodeling often claim that they make their own windows, but that is not true. Power sells windows from Northeast Building Products. These windows have perfectly normal ratings and you can typically find comparable options for a lower cost without the sales gimmicks.

Yes. Windows from Northeast Building Products are often sold through high priced dealers. That means you’ll often hear about super special pricing that is only good today along with other popular window sales gimmicks.

The windows themselves are perfectly fine, but unremarkable. You can often find other options that will have similar performance for a much better price from a company that won’t try to manipulate you with sales gimmicks.

Yes, but they’re not more efficient than options available from many other manufacturers. It’s been a little while since I was doing in-home sales, but I remember talking with customers who had received quotes for Northeast windows. The customers had often been told that these were super special windows that were head and shoulders better than anything else out there. That’s just not the case.

Sashlite was a strange spacer system used in some replacement windows. It was touted as being fantastic, but it was very problematic. Northeast Building Products used this spacer for some time, but it appears they have moved away from it. Another company, Accuweld, used the sashlite spacer for a time before they went bankrupt. If someone suggests a window with sashlite we would suggest looking elsewhere.
