Re: Simonton 5500 vs Champion
I would be interested in the complaints you heard about Champion. SNIP! Thanks.... The wife discovered enough complaints about their customer service to warrant almost $3K more for the Simonton windows. My specific issue was the pocket sills and how they will collect "stuff" and the need ...

Re: SGHC .25 to .19 what is the difference
What is not known is the range of error in those measurements. That .06 could easily be within the +/- in the range.

Re: Simonton 5500 vs Champion
Champion got the boot by my wife after she discovered a big load of complaints. They were not against the local guy, but I think it's pretty bad mojo for a company to piss off so many folks and reflects a bad attitude. I located a Simonton reseller who is primarily a commercial installer/contractor....

Simonton 5500 vs Champion
I've complicated this choice a bit further after dropping the idea of Newtown-Slocomb. There is simply not enough information to justify the purchase. No matter where I look - no posting - no nothing. So an easier comparison is Champion vs. Simonton 5500. The Champion is foam-filled and I've read th...

Newtown Slocomb Windows
I am getting ready to buy and have looked at four different suppliers. Of the four, Champion and Newtown-Slocomb emerged as "winners". Between these two, Champion is almost twice as expensive and although Champion offers after sale extras, I'd rather just have a good price on the windows. ...

Why you won't get my business . . .
I recently was quoted by a salesman on some windows. To his credit, he did not pull any sleazy stuff. However, he won't be getting my business. Why? 1. Never provided "the numbers" from the Energy Star label. It was not attached to the sample window. He had to really search on the web to l...
