I have noticed the quality has improved and reputation is gaining. Don't know where you live, climate, needs, single windows or a whole house full. Always asked if the product will be installed by a factory trained contractor or one approved by the company. With a poor install; the warranty ain't worth a flip. |

With a poor install; the warranty ain't worth a flip. I don't know about that. I bought a whole bunch of Simonton windows from the local Norandex-Reynolds dealer. Installed them myself. No one checked my work. 2 years later the upper sash of one window went foggy. I called Simonton, gave them the serial number of the window and a week later I had a new sash which popped right into place. No questions asked. Well, actually there was one question asked: "What's the serial number of the sash." I don't know what kind of problem would cause them to send someone to check my installation, but a foggy sash certainly wasn't an issue. |

I don't know what kind of problem would cause them to send someone to check my installation, but a foggy sash certainly wasn't an issue. I was trying to make the point that if the window installed, develops operation problems, not following mfr. directions - a warranty claim may be denied. A cracked, foggy sash may not be related to the actual install. By factory trained installers I mean folks that have visited to factory, receive some training and are familiar with the requirement in installation of that product. Best to ask up front, so you would know. I've seen installers that worked on piece work. Like $15.00 per window. AND you get a $15.00 install. Don't know now but 10 years ago Certainteed (sp) and Andersen still wanted factory trained installers's. |
