    Alert:

    “BBB files indicate a pattern of complaints for Champion Windows and Home Exteriors.  Complaints allege customer service issues, including but not limited to, failures to return customer calls, set and keep appointments and honor warranty work in a timely manner. 

    Response from Champion Windows & Home Exteriors: 

    "There are reasons Champion has been in business since 1953 and proudly services over two million consumers.  There are also obvious reasons why this past year has been very different than others.  As the one nationwide provider that sells, manufacturers, installs and warranties its products through 100% company-owned locations, the impacts of Covid caused major backlogs to our supply chain and wreaked havoc on our workforce that cannot work remotely, particularly factory workers, operations, service techs and installers.  We want consumers to know that initiatives are underway to demonstrate we’re committed to improving our service levels, completing jobs as soon as possible and honoring our warranty.”

      Resolved
      I signed an agreement with Rob C****** from ********** OH Champion location on 11/26/23 to install a screened in porch. Gave them over$21200. I have heard multiple excuses about why they have yet to start my job or better yet why after 19 weeks they haven’t even submitted the proper paperwork to get a building permit. They have been sent two letters with the exact same request from Lucas county building permits that they need more info on the footings they are to install and they submitted the exact same drawings without any new information, on the footings to get the permits issued. I have copies of both the that Lucas county sent them. In having two conversations with Lucas county this is normal for champion. I have attempted multiple times to get Rob to keep me updated and virtually nothing. Their contract calls for this to be completed within 14-16 weeks and it’s been 19 weeks. We have saved for a couple years to have this room installed and we were looking forward to using the room this spring but we have little hope that this room will be started any time soon. It is totally unacceptable that a company this large can treat people like this.

      My husband and I purchased a bay window in February of 2023. The window was installed in June of 2023 and had major defects on the exterior as well as the window not opening because the crank wasn't working properly. We received a window with paint chipping in multiple areas when Colorbond is supposed to have a lifetime warranty. We then started the process of getting the window replaced and that is where the nightmare really began. We have never been treated this way by a company in our lives. We were told we had unrealistic expectations by the installation manager and after refusing two windows they brought as replacements because they were worse than the original we finally accepted a window they brought as a replacement at the end of February 2024.It still had some chips and we did ask for touch up paint which we still have yet to receive. The glass also has a major blemish in it as well as scratches and they are supposed to replace that. We were trying to be "realistic" as the installation manger put it and knew we were never going to get the product that was promised to us, so against our better judgement we accepted the third replacement. Now that we have had the window over a month it is not holding up to the elements at all. The Colorbond is cracking and peeling in multiple places. I can only imagine what this window will look like in a year and it is supposed to last 20+. This 1 bay window was $9,000 and when you have the nerve to ask that they provide the product you paid for they treat you like a criminal. They threatened to turn us into collections. They have never once apologized to us and continually act like we are in the wrong. We have had to take off work multiple times for them to bring the replacements and yet no remorse and no resolution. Please do not make the same mistake we did. This company is scamming hard working people and it is wrong.
