Champion Windows

The product is good, but the customer service is beyond awful. I have called and left 3 messages over the past 13 weeks (I waited the 10 weeks they said it would take them to build the replacement window) and have yet to receive a return call from Shannon. They claim to have a lifetime warranty, but if you cannot contact anyone, it is useless. I would NOT recommend anyone use this company for any purpose.

I called champion windows and door and set an appointment, and they came out in less than 24hrs to do my custom door estimate. And they sent great sales guys, Paul K and Juan G, and they showed and explained the company and quality of the doors and were very honest and upfront about pricing and warranties. And very curtesy and kind. I highly recommend.

I've been shopping around for windows and ended up getting ahold of champion. I was assisted by Juan to choose the right windows for my home, he was exceptional at helping me learn about the quality product Champion offers. Their product is so well made they have a lifetime warranty! They were able to get me set up to have my windows replaced at a price I was happy with and worked for me. It is very likely that I do more business with champion in the future.

Never Again Beware,
We started the install of our windows and slider over a year ago March 2nd 2024 and the installation is still not complete. The windows and installers showed up started tearing out the windows and slider to only find out several windows and the slider were not correct. For some reason unknown the project manager told the installers to keep going and install windows and slider even though they were not correct. The project manager than told me they would order new replacements that day and swap them out when they come in. Well months later the slider and part of the windows come in and again the slider was wrong again but was swapped out again and windows installed incorrectly because they didn't have all the material's for the windows but the installers thought it would be smart to screw them together damaging the windows in the process. Now we have to place another order months and i mean months i get a call saying they need to come out and inspect the project to see what needs to be ordered. Wait didn't we order everything months ago. Champion sends someone out goes over the install and what's wrong and says he needs to send a report. Months later they call and say they need to do another inspection for some reason, same person comes out same list again and sends another report. So everything is on order, months go by now everything comes in buts its damaged and has to be reordered. My new windows have bowed in the middle the sash bows approx 1/4" from end to middle to end and look horrible. We cant use the slider because of the install. Windows were never sealed on the bottom, Champion window person has seen this quality of the windows are below builder grade in my opinion. But to throw salt in the wounds be sure to pay for everything even when the job is not complete. Champion Windows has by far been the worst company i have ever had to deal with. I would suggest do your homework read true reviews for your area and be diligent on getting what you pay for for. Good Luck you will need it

We contracted with Champion in April 2023 for an 18'x18' sunroom addition to our home to replace a screened porch and patio of the same area. They started the work in late November 2023, and the project was riddled with problems. The greatest problem was that after Champion jack-hammered out our existing 18’x18’ cement pad, the put in the helical supports that the county mandated, and they they poured the flooring for the sunroom without getting permission from the county. So they had to then jack-hammer out another 18’x18’ cement pad so that the county could inspect the helical supports, and once approved, Champion then poured the floor for the 2nd time. The project was finally completed in April 2024 and shortly thereafter we started to notice small cracks in our tile flooring in the adjacent family room and kitchen. But then winter set in, and we experienced some very cold temperatures for this region, those small cracks really started expanding and growing in length. Once crack is now about 20’ length. We lived in this brand new house for 6.5 yrs without any flooring problems whatsoever. Champion then came in and did serious jack-hammering TWICE and then the problems with the flooring began. Champion is now trying to say that their jack-hammering had no effect on our flooring and that the house is built on soil that is somehow compromised, although there is no evidence to that effect. As of this writing, we are still trying to get Champion to agree to pay for the flooring repairs without having to take legal action, but so far it looks like the remedy will be through the courts. The angst caused to my wife during 5 months disruption to our lives while Champion built the sunroom and now this issue about the damage done by Champion to our flooring has really taken the joy out of getting the sunroom. For the premium price we paid Champion (they were the most expensive of the 4 companies we got quotes from), it turned out to be a very bad experience and if we had to do it all over again, we would not go with Champion.

Todd Yates was an amazing Sales Representative with a inviting personality that was unlike most “Salesman” we’ve dealt with in other Company transactions. There was no pressure but answered our questions when we asked for his opinion with past experiences. The entire process was very pleasant and he represented the company well with sharing their credibility. We look forward to seeing our new double front doors!

This company has several communication issues. First I had an appt for my door to be measured at 10 am. On the day of the appointment, I received a text at 930 and an email that my appt was now between Noon and 4pm. I decided I would run some errands and when went to leave the contractor was here at 10:00 to measure the door as originally scheduled. I told him that they had notified me of the change but they Never told him. He didn't remove the trim from around the door to measure properly because when the installer showed up months later with the new door and after removing the trim around the door and rechecking, he told me that the door he brought was too short. I had told and showed the salesman that the door I was replacing had extra trim inside the opening and the salesman assurred me that the new door would eliminate this, but the door that was incorrectly measured would still require this extra trim because the saleman Never mentioned this to the representative who took the measurements. The installer apologized and remeasured the door correctly and I had to wait sever weeks for Champion to remake my door and take another day off from work and of course they don't offer any form of compensation to their customers for their own mistakes, just Sorry for the inconvenience. The door was Finally installed yesterday and thankfully I had the same installer who had remeasured the door correctly and he did a Great job. Today I received both a text and an email informing me that my door had been received by my local office and I would soon be contacted to schedule an installation appointment, remember this is After my door had already been installed. I called four different phone numbers to speak to someone and after holding for almost 30 min, I left my call back number. Then coincidently I received an email asking me how I liked my experience with Champion, and that I should leave a review. These doors are not cheap, mine was $15,000, but with the measuring mistakes and the costs of sending the installer here twice with his truck (85 miles away) I can now see why their prices are much higher than local home improvement stores including the cost of installation. My neighbors really like my new front door but agreed that a company this big should have better communication with their customers and their reps should know how to measure correctly the first time.

I had all of my windows replaced by Champion. I ordered them in August 2024. The initial install was in November 2024 but some windows arrived broken or the wrong size and the the instal of those took place early this year. Two of the large windows, one in the bedroom and one in the dining room, have been tweaked, had balancers replaced and frames replaced and they still do not operate meaning those two rooms are still in limbo with the furnishings moved away and sheets hanging over them. They are double hung and they can only be partially opened or closed and only with EXTREME effort. I have contacted the local office, the regional manager and the main office trying to get someone out here to discuss options but I can't get anyone from the company to respond. This was a very expensive project and lack of communication and failure of the company to follow-up and make good on their product has spurred me to warn others of the company. The windows that work are great but having two major windows that don't operate is unacceptable. Proceed with caution if you are considering windows from Champion.

Todd Yates showed up for our appointment very punctually, five minutes early actually. He was very thorough with every aspect of the project from products available with their warranties, demonstrations of their products compared to competitors and even step by step of how the project would take place. Our project is very sizable and took over two hours to discuss but no complaints from us. He was very easy to get along with and hid nothing from us. All around a great guy and a great consultation.

Update 4/8/2025
I received this picture from my neighbor that more of the siding has fallen off. See last picture taken April 2025

Update 6/19/2024
They came out to fix the hanging soffit but did not address the trim that blew off or was not finished. No one was answering my requests for months. We have hired another company to have it done correct. Attached pictures.

Update 5/16/24
It's been 11 months since I signed the contract and they finally finished the windows. Siding is still falling off the third time and they said they cannot be out to fix it for 6 weeks. Beware....most of the reviews are on the salesperson and not the job.

Based on my experience.
The salesperson “Rob” will tell you they are quality and that he will be there at installation to make sure everything goes ok but he never shows up and will not call back.
There is a pile of paperwork aft 3-hour sales call and you will not read all of it unless you take 4 hours.
“Rob” will explain the warranty and have you sign it. He will not leave it and they will not sign it.
“Rob” will make like they are rated the best but take a look at the BBB. They are rated F.
You will not be told when the installation is and they will not call you when you ask.
The contract you sign has you making payments of 60% of the total and you will still not be told when the installation is.
They will call you to make these payments and they will hound you like a collection agency.
When you do make payments on their portal, they will call like they never received them and ask you to prove it by giving them a confirmation number.
When you call no one will call you back.
They always point to the contract you signed and hold you to it. It’s all about them, not you. Customer service is not in their manual.
When they do show up the crew sill have no supervision. They will leave oil from their truck in your driveway, drop trash all over your yard and leave it and the siding will come off twice within a week.
Their “premium quality vinyl siding” comes from Carter Lumber.
I had to get on the roof and clean the debris out of the gutters and pick it up off the ground.
When they do fix it, they will ask for you to sign a statement that the job is complete.
Make sure you get the warranty they never gave back after you signed it. They will not sign it.
Don’t expect them to do anything custom, different, or special when they install windows or siding. The salesperson “Rob” will promise you anything, but the crew does not speak English very well and is a third party installer.
No one has ever apologized for their calls not returned, constant calls for more money or incompetent non supervised job. They will only call you when they need money or signatures for completion.
They just installed the windows and one of them in the front of the house came broken with a sticker on it. They never called me after the installer left. This picture says it all.
