Ellison Windows Reviews
My windows are 18 and I'm not after a freebee just a fix. The # sticker is gone and the window itself measures 25 and 1 eight wide by 18 and 3/8 tall. That is the bottom sash. I have a sales order of 00933414. Thanks for your help.

Cletus, even if you could find out who made the window, you will probably be hard pressed to get the manufacturer to fix your 18 year old window units. Unfortunately, that's the usual truth in cases like this.
I would suggest this -- go on craigslist or yelp and look for a local window repair person. Call them up and ask for a free estimate on fixing the glass or whatever it is that needs fixing.
In half the cases they will come out and take a look -- then you can pepper them with any questions you may have etc. In the other half of cases, they will give you a price quote over the phone.
This is probably the cheapest and easiest fix for your problem.

Cletus, if Ellison made the window, use the link here and find the nearest distributor and call them up and ask about replacement parts.
Good luck!

Ellison Windows Warranty
Hi. Our house was custom-built in 1999 and the builder installed Ellison 1100 windows throughout.
Several have failed with fogging between the panes. Would they still be under warranty 17 years later?
I can't find any reasonable contact info for warranty info on the web so any help from you will be appreciated. We live about 25 miles from San Antonio TX. Thanks.

Nunya, warranties can be tricky after so much time. I really don't know if you have any relief under the original warranty. I would google "ellison windows san antonio" and see what comes up. If you find a local company that sells ellison, call them up and ask for a bid for replacement windows.
I wouldn't mention the issue, just let them come out -- once they are there, ask them all the questions you want. If you can't find anyone with a simple google search, try calling the company headquarters and ask if they have any reps that service your area. Again, I wouldn't anything until they arrive.
That's what I would do first!

Ellison Replacement Windows
We are adding on a room to our home and our contractor is doing all the windows and framing and doors and he has suggested that we use Ellison windows. I can't seem to find much information online about them and was wondering if anyone had any opinions on the quality of their products and services.

I've used Ellison windows for several projects and this is what I found, they offer a pretty basic vinyl window that tends to be more boxy than other window brands I've used. I would say that they're more of a builder grade window than a real quality replacement window. They aren't bad by any means, but I would recommend looking at Simonton and Milgard and seen how their prices compare to the quote that your contractor gives you on the Ellison window.

Ellison Atrium Windows
We bought Ellison new construction windows for our remodeled home and our contractor told us that they are actually made by Atrium. So far, three of the transom windows have started to bow up towards the top frame and I have to assume that this is a manufacturing defect. The company, however, says that they will replace the windows themselves, but refuse to pay for the labor portion, even though they admit it's a manufacturing error. The contractor has tried to get in touch with the local wrap and iron out this issue, but now is even having a hard time getting a hold of the rep, who is obviously ducking him.

In terms of the quality of Atrium Windows, they really are like all the other companies out there. They have an economy or entry-level window, a midgrade window, and a premium or high-end window line. The premium windows from Adrian I think are very good they're very well-made are strong and they're durable. There mid range windows are okay and the lower end or builder great windows are cheap and flimsy. If you purchased this entry-level window, that's no surprise to me that you're having issues with the windows Boeing, although a smaller transom window that is a little bit surprising to me. Also, typically window companies will only cover the labor portion of a replacement window for a year or two years after the windows are installed. My notion is that your windows have been installed for longer than this time and you will have to pay for the replacement cost. This is unfortunate, but typically the warranty does spell this out in some detail so it's one of those cases of buyer beware. At the end of the day, consumers need to purchase quality windows if they want something that is going to last.

Ellison Windows vs Harvey
I have used and installed both Ellison and Harvey windows in the past. In terms of overall looks and specs, I prefer Harvey to Ellison. However, I really like the balancing system on the Ellison windows better. Several times in the past I've had to deal with Ellison and they have always was resolved my issues quite nicely. Their factory reps seem to go out of their way to provide helpful advice. I have never had to deal with any issues from Harvey so I can't speak to that.
