Response to so many emails:
Several months back, When I introduced Schuco windows to several of these sites... it was to bring recognition to a great product and a great investment that I was fortunate to come across years ago. I receive so many positive responses from new homeowners and new dealers... a win/win. With greater noteability and popularity, comes greater expectations.
On that note, every window manufacturer experiences some bad press through a few of their dealers... Schuco is no exception. There are poor reps in every line of business and through every window manufacturer that practice price gouging, high-pressure sales and bogus discounts. That does not, and should not diminish the quality or efforts of the manufacturer.
My suggestion, although it is tough to teach an old dog a new trick... take away his bone... and you will be surprised at what he can learn to love. The elimination or conversion of those dealers... will only happen through the education and efforts of CONSUMERS. I suspect that this site gets thousands of hits per week nationally... use that to help yourself and others. That is what makes resources like this invaluable.
I for one, as well as most of the pros, have convictions due to knowledge of products, but this doesn't mean we also endorse or recommend just anyone who sells them. There are a few that hurt the entire industry... and there are those that take pleasure in unplugging their cord.
Seek selection... Seek service. There is no need to sacrifice one for the other. I'll continue to help if I am able. Good Luck.

Schuco Lover!!!!!! JK
FenX speaks with great wisdom. For I am one of those stubborn ass dog's that's to old to jump and fetch the stick!!!!
I still always keep my eyes and ears open to anyone of interest. I feel I can always learn from anyone no matter if they are in the trade or just a customers child. Talk to your friends and family. Do some research on products and the distributor. If you ever take it in the rear post it here and tell the world what happened. That way people will know who's good and who's got issues. Be fair and understanding about things that happen. It's a trade with many obstacles and problems. Sometimes even we the so called experts go into melt down mode!! This is the time of the year when it's Hellfire and Brimstone!!! SO be patient with your order and don't let it get your dander up. We do the best we can to make you happy with your choice!!!
BEFORE WE MELT!!!!!
Good Post Fen!!!
