If this dealer doesn't install in your area, I'm sure they can lead you in the right direction.

Weldon's Windows is out of Charlotte. They did my Schuco windows, they are at www.weldonswindows.com. Very nice guys, very good follow-through. They can give you the info of someone closer if there is someone closer. You can tell them "the doc" gave you their info via the forum.

How long ago did you install your Schuco windows? I have received a hefty quote and I am trying to get a feel for a competitive price. I have seen a range from 580 to 1200 per window installed. I have about 18 windows to install.

I paid right at $580/hole two months ago. I was not charged extra for krypton gas in some of the windows, but this is a decision of the distributor not the manufacturer. I had 26 or 28 windows, including 3 sliders and two half-rounds (which counted separately). Only one window arrived with a defective ballast, and the company replaced the entire window without quibble, rather than replacing the one part. The quote, which was a hard quote, included locking screens, outside vinyl wrap, and repairing any wood rot etc (there wasn't any).

I'd contact the Schuco branch at

Ask them who the closest dealer is.

Hi folks - I came across this while googling Schuco. I work for Schuco in Newington, CT. where the windows are manufactured. It sounds like for the most part, everyone is happy with the products. I would be happy to steer any of you in the right direction as far as contacts and dealers. Feel free to email me at the address shown, any time.

Do I even want to look into how much Schuco windows cost? I just bought my first house and it still has the origional windows from 1973. I would like to replace them with something high quality but am afraid that these might be out of my price range. I am in Columbia, SC so maybe I should just email Dave.

Shuco is a good window, but it may not be the window for you. Compare the features and benefits of other quality windows. Compare installation crews, warranties, prices. You can often find a high quality window with Low E glass for less than $400 installed.

Other mfgr's that compete with Shuco are:
Great Lakes Window
Simonton
Vista
Uniframe
Champion

That's only a few of hundreds of quality windows.

If wood replacements interest you, check out the Trimline offering.

The only advice I can give is that be careful. We are a group of at least 23 (we hear that there may be as many as 30-40 of us!) BURNED Schuco by NuView customers in the Metro DC area.

And what is particularly distressing is that Schuco was aware that this dealer was up to financial games for MONTHS and MONTHS, and yet continued to endorse them as their "exclusive" dealer.

Schuco does not appear to have any standards when it comes to selecting dealers (though they were very careful to protect themselves by requring payment in full up front! I should add!), and when their chosen exclusive dealer walks off with thousands of customer dollars, Schuco tells us, "not our problem!"
