Replacement windows made by Simonton continue to be customer favorites year after year. They get high marks for their quality, energy efficiency, and beauty. Homeowners love the many options with Simonton windows—from cosmetic options to those that contribute to their performance.
Simonton Windows have also received top industry awards in recent years. In 2023 alone, their windows were named “Best Vinyl Window Replacement” by US News & World Report, “Best Window Brand” by home improvement guru Bob Vila, “Best Vinyl Window Replacement” by Architectural Digest, and “Best Budget” windows by Better Home & Garden.
Simonton offers multiple lines of replacement windows, including their popular Madeira and DaylightMax lines. The Madeira line of Simonton windows has a wide-frame design that is suitable for homes with classic styling. The DaylightMax windows by Simonton have slim frames that look great in more modern homes.
You really can’t go wrong with Simonton windows for your home—that is, unless you hire the wrong person or company to install them.
Custom Exchange is a Simonton Window Dealer in Pleasanton, California, selling and installing Simonton windows and patio doors throughout the East Bay area. Owner Michal Kuron had this to say about Simonton window installation: “Simonton windows are great products, but just like all windows, their performance is highly dependent on proper installation. You want to work with a company that trains their installers specifically in window installation, as opposed to a general contracting company that does all types of home improvement projects. Window installation is a specialty skill, so you don’t want just anyone to do it in your home.”
If Simonton windows are not properly installed, it can affect the windows’ insulating abilities. In other words, homeowners may not experience the energy savings they were hoping for by installing new, energy-efficient windows.
Improper installation can also void the product warranty. Simonton windows and patio doors come with a comprehensive warranty, which covers the windows against defects for as long as the original purchaser of the windows owns the home. However, if a homeowner makes a warranty claim and it is determined that the windows were not installed properly by a professional, Simonton will likely not cover it, and the homeowner will have to pay for the repair or replacement of the defective window out of their own pocket.
If you choose to have Simonton windows installed in your home, make sure they are installed by professionals. Only purchase Simonton windows from companies that have their own team of professional installers and that stand behind their work, as opposed to companies that outsource the installation of the windows they sell.
