We have had our Simenton Windows for over 10 years and I would plead with anyone thinking of buying ANY Simenton product to beware. We have had Simenton Reps here 3 times and they find nothing faulty, but when the wind blows you can hold a candle to the window and watch it flicker. We have excellent insulation and we go through approx. 275 gal of propane EVER month in the winter. I would caution anyone to STAY AWAY FROM SIMENTON!!!!

No help form them with Simenton either. Once you buy them they do not care

The window was even better than the sales consultant said it was going to be. I'm very impressed with the quality of this window.

The home depot did a terrific job. They were the 3rd company to come over and give a quote. they werent the cheapest but after weighing all that they had to offer I decided it was the best move with their great warranties. The installers were professional and very very clean.

We recently replaced most of the single-pane aluminum windows on our SoCal stucco home with the Simonton 6500's. They look great. More than that, they cut down the noise from the outside almost completely and they retain the heat. One room has 2 outside walls with large windows. I used to have to keep that room closed off for loss of heat. I was pleasantly surprised this winter to find that room is now as warm as the rst of the house.

We have had them for a year now and are VERY pleased. There is a huge decrease in air leakage from outside when the windows are closed. Where ever possible, we put in casements and some are quite large. The cranking mechanism works very well and we love the increased airflow. Aesthetically, we are very pleased with look of the imitation wood grain on the interior. Our only (minor) "disappointment" is that we could only get white for the exterior finish; since there is no other white on the exterior of our home, we would have preferred a darker finish.

James Gay (company owner) and one assistant replaced 16 windows in less than two days, working on only a couple windows at a time. I have seen companies that remove all windows before installing any of the replacements; I much prefer James Gay's approach. The work proceeded in a very orderly, neat & clean manner. The exterior sealing was EXCELLENT and the finished product looks great, both outside and inside. The window interiors have stained woodwork and NO damage was done to any of it. I think this is the best contractor job I have ever had done.
Price Information
$8500 for 16 windows, 10 large (32x54) main floor & basement, 5 medium-sized 2nd floor and 1 basement hopper

I love the look of the window...not that bright white that most replacement dpanes are painted. The windows have changed the look of my 1959 quaint home, for the better. I would like to thank this website for the helpful info they provided and opinions on the different companies that I considered. I considered Kensington, Pella, Windowmart and ended up going with Simonton.

I really appreciated the fact that HD has their own hired HD employees that do the install. They hired one of the best local crew of installers and made them HD Employees. HD changed they way they do replacement, in that they don't just get a 3rd party to do the install, but rather they have actual HD installers. The install went smooth, they got her at 9 and had all the windows removed, cleaned and had the new ones installed around 5pm. I was impressed with the install and the fit of the windows.
Price Information
I shopped around...got a quote by Pella for a single pane for 14 windows for $8600. My windows measurements for the 14 windows range from 36x60x96 on some and 36x56x92 with my largest window being 72x60x132 and my smallest being 35x35x70. I got a quote for Kensington Kingston windows and after some www research found that it is Kensington's budget window...still a great window. However, for $9k I decided to keep looking. This local company also had a window from Windowmart in Arkansas. I was not too impressed with that company and their website for $7200. I then got a quote from HD on their Simonton windows for $9600. I ended up going with them as I could not pass up on Simonton's top model for HD and could rely on HD to still be around in 25 years as these windows have a lifetime transferable warranty. I got a gift card for $100 back, a 1.9% loan from the city and a $133 rebate from my gas company for getting the windows. I bit the bullet and decided to go for it...as they were all basically quoting me the same price. I live in Austin, Texas and it gets hot down here for Summer and we have the sun out probably 225 days if not more out and shining.

Windows are ok, could be better, probably slightly better than Home Depot or Lowes windows. Definitely not better than Harvey which are slightly cheaper.

Really bad installation, Home Depot sent some guys who seemed like very nice, but who cares when the work is bad ? They were clean and everything, but didnt put any insulation around the windows. I saw that and mentioned it to the guy and he goes, "its not necessary". I paid about $3000 more than a good local installer, i was clearly ripped off. I could have done a better install. They guys were in a real hurry, there was like a 1-2mm gap all around most windows, caulking was bad, holes and draft all over the place. I told them, sent another guy who was lazy to insulate and had just caulked more and left. Dont use Home Depot, just get a local contractor, get the Simonton/Harvey windows from local/nearest store and have them installed. Nobody really cares if you go with this kind of large corporation.
