I have a friend who is considering Vinyl Replcement Windows. Locally, we have Thompson Creek Windows, in the DC/MD/VA area. I’ve never used them, and I was wondering if anyone has had any experiences with them – good or bad.
I know that vinyl windows can be hit or miss. My sister had a local company install a house-full and in less than 5 years there were problem: argon gas leakage; moisture, and fogging. The manufacturer refused to honor their warranty; a couple of trips to General District Court; lots of bad feelings all around, but she was able to re-coup her money. This time she purchased Marvin Integrity and I installed them over the following Spring. Problems solved. Great windows. You get what you pay for.
I recomended, to my friend to go with Marvin or similar high quality window but the budget isn’t there. Besides, she wants a local company if there are any problems. So, if anyone has any information on Thompson Creek I’d appreciate the feedback.
Thanks in advance,
Steve
