    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.”

      Service or Repair Issues
      Status:
      Resolved
      I had a Champion technician come to my house in March of 2024 to measure for a broken screen door on our Champion room. Upon this appointment, we were told that they would order this screen and I paid $295 for the screen door. We waited over 10 weeks (which was the original estimated time) and the screen was scheduled to be replaced on June 13, 2024. The morning of the 13th the technician informed me that the screen would not fit the door as it wasn't a champion door, even after their own technician measured, ordered the replacement, and I paid for it. At this point, I contacted Rachel and she stated that they would refund us for this error. A week later I received a refund of $176. I called Rachel on 6/24 and left a message. I was called on 7/1/24 by Jessica and she stated that the additional $120 would not be refunded as that is the service charge. At no point was I informed that the $295 was inclusive of a service charge and when the refund was issued I was told I would receive a FULL refund, not partial. I feel that I am owed the $120 due to the hassle and errors of this whole encounter, lack of communication from Champion and overall poor customer service. Also, $120 for a 10 minute appointment to measure a window is high for a 'service charge', when the technician did not do their job correctly. This is been a terrible showing of Champion window. We have other Champion products and I will not longer be using them for future projects or recommend to others.

      Met with Jamie C****** and signed contract and pd $5900 on May 1st. I was told they'd have the job completed within 2 months. Unfortunately, I didn't get in writing. It's now 10 weeks and they haven't even filed for a building permit. I've made 5 calls to their office starting 6-27 with a promise of a callback from Roy, Brandt, or Dan. It's now 7-12 and no callback. I want out of the contract and get my money back. I do not recommend doing business with this company.
