We are in the process of building a new house, and the GC has given us a choice between JELD-WEN and Krestmark windows. I had never heard of Krestmark before, but he said he has used them before and his clients have been happy with them. The cost delta is about $10 less per window than the JELD-WEN. Has anyone had any experience with Krestmark?
As always, I appreciate any thoughts – this is a great forum!

This may not be helpful, but my house is full of Jeld-Wen's and they seem to be doing quite well. For $10 a window, why risk it?
Thanks for the responses, gents. I made the call on the JELD-WENS....
The choice seems obvious but may be a sales tactic aimed at focusing your decision on the window choice rather than the price. It shoudn't be difficult to get suggested retail for the JELD-WENS off their web site. I would begin there.
JELDWen does have a good rep
But, they are also the overall owners of a lot of brand names as a company. some are better than JW and some are so-so.
So, be sure when he is talking JW, that it is the actuall JW you would be getting.
I never heard of the other before, but that doesn't mean they aren't good.
