Simonton Windows Reviews
Simonton is considered by many to produce good windows and replacement windows. JD power and Associates has rated Simonton #1 by in the past for Customer Satisfaction. With the Simonton product line, there does not seem to be much complaint about the following: Simonton 5500, Low-e, argon filled, fully welded, full screen window.
One knock on their products is the vinyl window welds, which many installers consider to be ugly. Some contractors and installers have also had issues with the strength of these Simonton welds.

I remodeld my house 5 years ago and used Simonton 50/50 windows, maybe 14 in all. I did all of the work myself (I’m not a contractor but have quite a bit of experience with home improvement projects). About half of the windows get exposure to a fair amount of rain and wind, so it was important that the windows didn’t leak etc. To date, none of the windows have leaked water or air and we have had no issues with them. They are your run-of-the-mill Simonton windows – double pane, double hung windows, no uv coating or argon/krypton fills. I read these forums and am astounding by how many people have leaks or drafts and it seems like it must be installation related.

In the beginning 2010, I purchased 8 Simonton replacement windows and had them installed by a licensed contractor (who was city approved, whatever that means). The windows were large Simonton Prism Platinum, triple paned with foam insulation and super spacers. I had problems within a month of installation — on all of the larger casement windows, I can’t get the window to open unless I physically move it. The vinyl frame twists enough in warm weather that the locking mechanism won’t open — any hotter and the whole window is locked up and can’t be budged. I’ve had seals blown, pop out — it’s a nightmare. It just feels like the entire window assembly is a joke! The contractor won’t return my calls because he obivously doesn’t want to deal with it (or his share in the problems). Simonton doesn’t even take customer calls so they are no help to me.

I live in Southern California and sell fifteen different types of windows so I get to see how the brands stack up year after year. I think Simonton offers the best value for warranty, price and features – I particularly like the Super Spacers they use. I also like Milgard windows for the most part, but dislike the fact that they have no window warranty covering glass breakage and think their rollers are horrible.

I am very confused by consumers who say that their Simonton windows have air and water gushing in after they put in their windows. Completely confused! Do people check the replacement window contractors reputation and credentials before letting them into their homes? I work at a building supply company here in Northern Pennsylvania – we carry Simontons, along with a number of other brands. The weather in this area is pretty extreme, from cold weather below 0 in the winters to well into the 90s in the summers. I’ve never had a major issue on any Simontons. That’s not to say I haven’t had customer complaints, but they were all taken care of by Simonton. The fact is there are customers who complain about everything – some justified, others laughable. We’ve sold well of 200K in Simonton windows this year alone and I haven’t had to squabble with them over anything that’s come up. I’m impressed with the quality of their windows and they take care of problems that come up. As to whether to “buy” their high rating in JD Power & Associates, it is awarded for customer satisfaction, which is really just a survey of customers, I don’t see how it can be suspect…
