The company uses Schwinco and the quote was $9600.
[Website Editor Reply]Patrick, that price sounds high, but Max Guard does seem to get good reviews and Schwinco does seem to be a good window. I'd get a couple more bids and see where you're at after that.
Shwinco Windows ComplaintsDane, we ordered Shwinco windows from Forcefield Hurricane Protection 2/19/2022. At that time we were told it would be 12-14 weeks. This was acceptable to us since we were replacing all the windows. Well 14 weeks passed and we were told Shwinco was behind on production because of COVID and it would be 14-16 weeks. We 12 of the 13 window arrive and installed but we are missing the balasters in 3 windows and the transom window. Have you had any complaints on their service? Our contractor is at the mercy of Shwinco.
[Website Editor Reply]Bryan, I haven't had complaints about Shwinco windows and doors, but I have been hearing about them more often as of late. My notion is they are ramping up production on the residential side -- maybe they are going through some growing pains. I will post the complaint for other consumers. Do let me know if they are thorough about resolving the issue as I would love to post any follow up for consumers.
Shwinco Windows ReviewWow, meeting with and learning about new windows can be mind boggling for many shoppers.
[Website Editor Reply]Bill, I hear very little about Shwinco, but from the little I have seen, they make a great window. I think a 20% cost increase over PGT probably is about right. I think the big piece of the puzzle is finding an installer who sells and installs lots of Shwinco nad likes the brand — and has a great reputation.
Shwinco Dominator 9000 vs. Wincore StormforceHello Dane, thank you for taking my question. What in your opinion is a better hurricane window for my house in Melbourne Florida. Shwinco Dominator 9000 -series single hung or Stormforce by Wincore 8800 double hung. I am replacing 24 windows and the shwinco are about $4000 more but it is not making sense to me. I hope you can help me on this. Thank you.
[Website Editor Reply]Georges, I think both of these impact windows are quite good. I don't know as much about the Shwinco Dominator 9000, but I did take a look at the features and performance, and I was impressed. If this were my project, I would probably make the decision less on the products (which are comparable in my estimation) and switch to looking at the company doing the work. Google both companies and look at the aggregation of ratings and reviews as a basis for how you can expect the installation to go.
Schwinco Impact Windows vs PGTHello Dave, I am needing your opinion on hurricane impact windows. The more researching and reading I do the more confused I become. I was thrilled to find your sight during my online time. I live in southwest Florida and would like to replace our single pane PGT windows with impact windows. I have always been a DIY person because I have been burnt by contractors and have little faith in any of them especially in my area.
[Site Editor's Answer]Randy, I don't hear all that much about Schwinco, but they seem generally decent from the little I know. I put little reliance on warranties because they rarely cover labor costs, which accounts for roughly 35% of the total project cost (unless you are doing DIY of course.) I would think the Schwinco impact windows and doors would be fine IF the installation was thorough and exact.
Shwinco Impact WindowsI am looking at getting impact single hung windows, slider door and french door. I’m getting quotes from several companies.
[Site Editor's Answer]Shelly, my top picks for storm/impact windows and doors include the Soft-Lite Armor Impact Series, Sunrise Coastal Series, Soft-Lite Barcelona Impact Series, Stanek UltraExtreme Series, PGT WinGuard Series, the Simonton Stormbreaker Series nad the CWS Windpact Series. These are the impact series I would take a close look at if they are available in your area.
Shwinco vs PGT WindowsLooking to get windows, we live in Florida and it seems these are the two options we have to choose from based on quotes from multiple companies. I am being told Shwinco is the way to go over PGT but was hoping for one more opinion. Any advice would be helpful. Thank you.
[Website Editor Reply]Michelle, I don't hear much about Shwinco. PGT windows has a good reputation and would be my choice over the Shwinco. PGT and CWS are the two options I hear about the most (with generally positive reviews) in Florida.
Shwinco Impact WindowsHi Dane, Thanks again for all of your insights. Today we had another dealer in for a quote. They sell CWS and Shwinco. I hadn't heard of Shwinco before and when I search for them online, there isn't much information on them regarding reviews or customer experiences. Are you familiar with them? the sales guy put them above Simonton and CWS. Shwinco doesn't make a large slider, so the dealer would sell us a CWS door, which other dealers did not seem to like.
[Website Editor Reply]Paul, I had never heard of Shwinco, but did a bit of checking and they seem to make a pretty decent impact window. However, when I google shwinco impact window reviews, for instance, I find them mentioned once in a houzz forum. That's it. If they are better than Simonton, why in the history of the company are they mention SO FEW times on any of the applicable forums? It's a red flag for me.
