Default STATEWIDE Windows (also vs. other brands)


Okay I can add more to the Statewide discussion. I received a bid of
22,000 for nine windows and a slider and yes it was the big 3 hour
discussion and all of the cheap sales tricks. Going as far as to state
that vinal windows deteriate and fall out because they flex. I
called a friend that is a glazer and has done window installation for
25 years and he has never even heard of this happening. After I told
the company no to their windows I received another call and was told
that the commercial division of Statewide could give me a deal at a
much discounted price. I agreed to a 5 minute meeting, I was told
that I would be given the quote, but the sales rep had to come out and
reconfirm the measurements. When the rep arrived she started to get
all of her Statewide materials out of her car, I told her I only needed
the quote and that I would not listen to another sales pitch. I also
informed her that I was not satisfied with Statewides sales practices.
Being quite rude was the only way that I received the quote of 14,000,
but double paned windows not the triple pained. I told her that I
would not accept that bid and told her that I would not put Statewide
windows in my house. She called her supervisor and told him what I had
said and I thought I was done with Statewide....until today, when they
called again asking for a second appointment with the commercial
division!!! I responded by telling them that if they called again I
would be contacting the attorney general. Just run away from
Statewide, I am totally conviced this is a company that preys on
peoples fears and ignorance about the vinal window market. I just hope
more people learn the truth about this horrible company.
