"Dear (Member Name), We understand your frustration, but according to state and federal law, warranties are between the purchaser and the warrantor. In your case, the warrantor is the Stanek Vinyl Windows Corporation. To be clear, Great Day Improvements did not purchase the Stanek Vinyl Windows Corporation. We merely purchased machinery, the trade name Stanek Windows and several other assets of the company after they stopped doing business. All liabilities (payables, warranties, stock redemptions, etc.) of the Stanek Vinyl Windows Corporation are the responsibility of that corporation. Great Day Improvements understands the law and is in compliance with all state and federal laws regarding warranties. We understand the challenges created to consumers with the closing of any company, especially those who face loss of warranty benefits. We stand behind our Great Day Improvements product and labor warranty. Outside of the law and our legal responsibility, Great Day Improvements has offered to help customers of the Stanek Vinyl Windows Corporation and service the former company’s windows at the lowest possible prices. To schedule service for your windows, please call 216-341-7700. Thank you, Great Day Improvements, LLC"
"Stanek Vinyl Window Company, LLC, the company you purchased windows from, no longer manufactures, sells or installs windows. Great Day Improvements, LLC acquired the operating assets of Stanek under a secured party asset sale on January 9, 2013. Great Day Improvements, the same company that manufactures the legendary Patio Enclosures brand sunrooms, now also produces the Stanek product in its state- of-the art facility in Macedonia, Ohio. While Great Day Improvements is under no legal obligation to assume the warranty claims for any past Stanek Vinyl Window Company customers, service can still be performed on existing windows at a reasonable cost. Please call our service department for more detailed information. We understand that the window business is extremely competitive and you have many choices as it pertains to windows and other home improvements. We are confident you will find our costs very fair and our professional staff exceptionally knowledgeable. For additional information about the company, visit GreatDayImprovements.com"

"Just for clarification, our records indicate that no services were performed by Stanek Windows on this customer's home other than a free quotation. We appreciate the opportunity to quote the job, and thank you for the feedback."
After the sale, Doug was very attentive to assure the delivery and installation was done on schedule. The installation process went very well. The installers arrived, removed the old windows and installed the new windows. The old (original) windows had hardware that I wanted to keep. The installers removed all the hardware for me.
The transom windows were replaced during a renovation project. Because of the tight timing, Doug Lippett worked very hard to have the windows delivered and installed on schedule. This took a lot of his time to ask the factory to speed up the window building process.
Other contractors have noticed the doors installed by Stanek. I have gotten a few comments about how well the doors were installed, and, door installation is not an easy thing to do - especially in an old house.
"Member, There must be something else going on here...??? Our livelyhood is based on showcasing our products and quoting jobs to bring in new business. We would have absolutely no reason not to respond back to you on a quote. We are reachable thru our phones, showrooms and website. What might be happening as expressed by other people is that they are logging onto a bogus "pay per click" website thinking they are reaching Stanek Windows because part of ther link contained the word "Stanek", when in reality this information never reaches us and goes to some unrelated third party. This has become a problem for many industries and we regret that this is occurring. Please contact us directly at 216-341-7700 or 1-800-4-STANEK or stanekwindows.com, and we will set up a free estimate at your convenience today. Thank you for your understanding."

"Thank you for giving Stanek Windows the opportunity to quote the job. As mentioned, Stanek representatives will bring samples to your home to showcase products and explain differences so that you have a complete understanding of product and installation. We will also recommend that you tour our factory and visit our showroom to get even better understanding. There is no shortage of window competitors in our market. Price ranges and quality levels vary greatly. We recommend that you compare us to our cometitors for price and quality. Please visit stanekwindows.com to learn more."
The window installers do a good job of putting down protective cloths and vacuuming up after installation, so that is a big plus. The repair folks need to do the same, as there were shavings/trimmings afterwards and I picked up a splinter in my foot.
With each set of windows we have purchased (we purchase 3 to 5 windows in each set), we have had issues with installation. The first set was a bowed sash and lower sill, and poor operation. Stanek was prompt with the repair, but could not do much, as they did not want to put a screw through the bottom of the sill for fear of allowing a water leak. The operation was fixed and has been good since the repair. The window evened out over time, so no obvious bowing now.
The second set of windows had screws in each of the sills and many of the screws were above the level of the sill. Stanek, again, was prompt in the repair and seated the screws and caulked so water could not get in. I was worried about a long term maintenance item, but they have held up for about 4 years without a problem and perform quite well.
With this set of windows, the vinyl sashes were scratched from the factory. I called our salesman about 10-minutes after the installers left to complain. Stanek was again very prompt in coming out to look at the windows and attempt a repair. However the scratches were too deep, so they could not repair - we speculated with the service person that the raw materials or manf. process was causing the problem. About a week later, Stanek replaced the vinyl on our lower sashes. The replacement sashes still have some scratches, but less frequent and more minor so we are ok with them. I polished/buffed some of the scratches out on one side, so may polish/buff the others out of the top and bottom sashes - but I hate to spend the effort on a new product that was quite expensive Our previous windows were not scratched like these. We have also noted a few bubbles in the glass on these new windows, along with some glass shards inside the window sticking to the interior film - they're small, but noticeable on a clean window in the sun. We may have Stanek come out to look at these.
- Overall the newest set of windows turned out ok and have made a huge difference in the room. - We believe they are worth the investment.
- - The windows perform quite well and are of solid construction.
- - Stanek is very responsive to any issues and we are confident that they will make things correct in the end.
We still have four big windows to replace, so would we use Stanek again? The answer is a maybe - we would have to be confident that the new windows would not have the scratches/defects of our last set. Fortunately this will be a few years off, until we can save up more for the final four.
UPDATE - Stanek very promptly and curtously replaced the lower sashes on all three windows. These were in much better shape. I still think that they need to check their quality control at the manf. facility. You might want to inspect the windows before they pull out the old ones.
