Discussion Board Forum for Vinyl Windows

The company is located in Martinsville, VA and has been established for a long time. Is anyone familiar with the quality of their replacement windows? In particular, I am looking for comments on the Nuweld II from homeowners and contractors alike.

Thanks

I am still looking for a recommended installer. I spoke to one recently that comes highly recommended that just replaced all of his windows and siding. He is suggesting to me to consider pvc legacy windows by Spec-Trim. They are a manufacturer in Midlothian, Virginia. They do have a website by the s...

Can anyone tell me the quality/performance of West Windows manufactured in Martinsville, VA? I know of two people that are satisfied with their double hung replacements, low e/argon and internal grids that were installed about 5 years ago in the Roanoke, VA area. I just looked at the website and als...

I will ask not only for samples, but, if he has done jobs in my area with these windows- will seek references. He also told me that they use superspacer as well.

thanks again

I haven't seen one for a few years but they used spiral balance iirc and the sashes didn't fit the frame very well, lots of play between them. I didn't care much for the overall appearance of the window either...

I have a contractor that wants to give me an estimate on windows made by RJT Industries in Northern Virginia. Does anyone know anything about this company and the quality of their windows and customer service? I will be looking at replacement windows with low E, argon, doublehung and grids in betwee...

I still haven't had the windows installed yet, but, thought I would share some costs for Darryl and Samantha in the Richmond area. I am replacing two picture windows (bay windows) with a double hung on either side and 14 more double hung windows. Estimated total cost for windows (double pane interna...

Thank you WindDoze for your information relating to Lansing and Windjammer. I am reassured that others are buying from Lansing- corporate is here in Richmond, VA and no BBB dings. I am going forward with the Windjammer 80 series (Atrium 8700). If anyone is interested in my opinion as a consumer once...

Window Novice, I am the Midlothian poster, Wishing you well on your windows- lots of constructive comments here to your posts. Thought I would pass on that I called Regal and wasn't impressed with the pitch....then I talked to several people that have had quotes from Regal on various home improvemen...

Window Novice, [quote="window novice"]Anyone had any dealings with Kemp Windows & Siding in Richmond VA. They are the only Schuco dealer here in Richmond. I really liked the Schuco window but am a little leary of Kemp. I don't believe they've been in business over 3-4 years. I've check...

I am probably beating an old thread somewhere..sorry about that.
However, I am looking for opinions on Atrium 8700, 8500 and 8300 series.
My installer deals only with one particular distributor and they sell these windows under the private label of Windjammer.

Thanks

Bill, Thanks for your post regarding Survivor. Your response is the first of someone knowing about Survivor. Can you elaborate on why the windows are low end? Performance? Aesthetics? longevity? I have single pane glass now with storms on a 30 year old home. Looking to cover some wood rot and get be...

[quote="kcolney"]BKA Thanks for the information. I will look at the Simonton. as my neighbor has those windows. Interesting story though, the owner of the company that did his windows is now opening up his own Window World Franchise- I wasn't too impressed with their sales staff nor their ...

[quote="cjohnston22"]Looking for advice on which windows to buy. I live in Northern Virginia. Below are my options so far. All would have grids in between the panes. I have been told all are double pane, low e argon, energy star rated: Ted Lansing Corp (North Carolina), Windjammer Series 6...

KColney, I am researching right now also. I have 20 windows and I think you are on the money unless you are getting triple pane glass in which case you are doing even better in my opinion. My contractor is asking for $50 a window to remove single pane and install new replacement pocket window. I am ...
