One of the best ways to improve the look of your home, increase its resale value, and reduce energy bills is to get new vinyl replacement windows.Opinions may vary on which window manufacturer is the best, and most homeowners spend very little time learning the differences between each brand of windows.As a Colorado Springs window contractor who has partnered with Simonton Windows for nearly 20 years, I can see why this company has such a great reputation among homeowners. In addition to making the highest quality vinyl replacement windows, Simonton also makes a long-term commitment to their customers. Their fully transferrable “Lifetime Warranty” covers the glass seal, glass breakage, screen tears, the window frame and all parts. Your Colorado Springs window contractor can explain what Simonton’s NFRC and AAMA certification means, but these acronyms represent the highest standard of window craftsmanship.One reason the company has earned such high marks in the window industry is that every window is hand-tested for optimum performance in Simonton’s on-site state-of-the art testing laboratories. As a Colorado Springs window contractor, the series I exclusively sell at Heart House Creations is the Simonton 9800 series window. This particular series delivers unsurpassed value to my customers and offers the following features.
