I had the chance to tour their facility and see how they make their windows. I was very impressed by their technology, their attention to detail and the finished products.

I have noticed that a lot of times once a window leaves a manufacturer's facility, these windows can end up in one of a couple places. They can end up in the hands of a qualified installer who understands how to properly measure and install windows and in those cases it is rare that things ever fail. On the other hand, you could send the same window to a poor quality installer and get considerably different outcomes.

In fact, I would venture to say that it is likely that most of the complaints people have about bad windows is really rooted in a bad installation. I mean, think about it- If I played golf and I stink at it, using Tiger Wood's clubs would not make me a pro! Likewise, if you give me the best golf clubs in the world and give Tiger a rental set, he'd still spank me on the course. (Most bad golfers blame the clubs... It's not the club, it's you, Buddy!)

I guess what I am saying is that when people have a complaint about their windows you need to cut some slack to the window manufacturer before you bash them. It could very well be a bad installation.

How do I know this? I sell and install windows for a living. Our company installs over 6,000 windows each year. We get at least 3 or 4 people calling us every day who had a bad window installation and are asking if we can fix it for them. It is almost always the installer and rarely the window. Some people may disagree with me and I can respect that. All I am saying is that it's really easy to ruin a good window if you are a bad installer and I know that Amsco makes good windows because we install about 100 of them each week! Just my $.02.
