Simonton Impact-Resistent Windows Reviews

Windows still leak after three replacements!

Overall

Rated 1 out of 5

We purchased 10 Simonton double hung and mulled twin double hung windows.  They were affordable, easy to clean, and look good.  The problems started from day one with the windows.  We were in the home stretch of our dairy barn renovation, turning it into a house, and had all the sheet rock up and painting almost 100% completed.  We decided to go down to our almost completed house during a bad storm to see how everything was going.  We found that 6 of our windows were pooring with water all over our new and freshly painting sheet rock.  The four windows that weren't leaking were sheltered by the porch.  Needless to say we spent every rainy night at our house...

Simonton vinyl windows- Poor

Overall

Rated 1 out of 5

Just purchased several Simonton vinyl new construction windows to replace my old one's. Went through a big expense to replace almost all in my home. Let me say that these are cheap garbage and were a downgrade from my old one's that were 20 years old. The pivot point hardware in the track is about as durable as a peice of duct-tape. You take the window out one time and they are so fragile that they don't function properly after you put the window back in. (They bind and twist easily or bend or break). Also, air comes right up the tracks where the window slides up and down. So forget energy efficiency. Wish I would have kept my old one's or chose a different brand. I made my decision to buy...

I recently replaced a Simonton window with a defective seal.  The order was placed through Sibco of Dayton.  The Sibco personnel were very helpful in insuring that the correct product part was ordered and notifying me within a week that the product was received.  I was able to replace the window in ~5 minutes with no prior understanding of its mechanism. I was very impressed with the design and engineering of the casement window.  As stated the installation was simple and easy. The tolerance of the new replacement was very tight and required no adjustment for a smooth operation and tight seal.I am eager to recommend the product which is apparently backed up with a sincere warranty.  This is an exellent example of American business.

Safe and secure for cleaning and.... oh yeah, HURRICANES!

I've never been excited about windows until I had my double hung impact windows put in last year. They are not only easy on the eyes and noise barriers,  I have a sense of security that I didn't have with regular glass windows. Thieves can't break these windows nor can hurricane debris. If we leave for vacation or have a storm coming, I have one less thing to worry about.

The double hung windows have a feature that lets you tilt the windows inward so you can clean both sides very easily. No more ladders on the outside of the house to climb to clean the windows on the second story.

 I have had a few problems with the bottom sash coming off the track so the window can't lock. Fortunately, Simonton has very effecient customer service. I have called them twice and within minutes they have solved my problems with no hassle.

 Impact windows are generally expensive and these are no exception but feeling safe, quiet and secure with easier cleaning is definitely worth it to me.

These windows are great!

I really love my Simonton windows.  From the start, we noticed a difference in our electric bill.  Plus, they help to reduce noise.  I also love the fact that I can open them from the top-means my cats cannot knock out the screens like they did with our 25+ year old windows. 

Best replacement window on market

Simonton Windows are very good and have a great reputation. Distribution is not the best though. Delivery is quick. Price is a little higher than most. Easy to install. EnergyStar rated so you can get a tax deduction this year. Colors are limited as are the interior finishes. GOod value over all.

Customer service is AWFUL...Rude and unhelpful!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Huge problem with condensation/ice. Was told it was our home and refused to send someone to look at the newly installed windows. Asked for advice on lowering condensation. Was told to open doors (it's 10 degrees here) and keep blinds open at night! Ridiculous. Avoid Simonton for the customer service! Once they have your money, their gone! 

CHALKING DO NOT BUY

WE built a house on Emerald Isle. N.C.  We installed SIMONTON WINDOWS.The windows are now what they say is (CHALKING) Below each window there are white lines running down the bottom of all the windows. They say this is not a manufacturing defect but is part of the vinyl weathering process. I have drove all over the island,I have not seen (CHALKING) on any other house. Would not recommend SIMONTON WINDOWS unless you want white lines running down the side of YOUR HOME.

Wish I'd done it sooner.

We replaced all of our aluminium, single pane, sliding windows in our 1967 ranch style house.  We chose Simonton for their appearance, price and value, after shopping big box stores, and 3 other replacement companys.  Simonton was the best, hands down. Relacing our windows was the single best improvement we've made to our home.  The windows operate smoothly, fit perfectly and do a wonderful job of keeping out noise, drafts and heat transfer.  I like the lifetime replacement guarantee.
