- - Lakewood location wouldn't sell replacement glass.
- - I was told to go to South Tacoma Glass Specialists.
- - I'm unsure about Lindsay Windows.
Today I tried to order a replacement piece of glass for one of my customers at the Lakewood, Washington location and was told that they would not sell it to me because they were too busy. I understand that I am not a large contractor and that I do not purchase large quantities of windows, but one of the things that I have enjoyed about Lindsay Windows is the support that I have received.
It was disappointing to be told that I should go to South Tacoma Glass Specialists for my replacement.
I am in the process of doing a house remodel for a customer and the job includes replacing their windows. I was planning on putting in an order with Lindsay Windows but I am uncertain if I will do that at this point.
Preferred solution: Support for purchasing replacement glass
Unfair treatment of customer
- - Lindsay windows had broken lower sashes and a scratched sliding door pane.
- - Nine months later the sashes slip and cannot be reinstalled; no assistance.
My husband and I built a new home in Grafton Wisconsin. The windows were supplied by Lindsay and the installers were a different company.
We moved into the home in September 2020 and after a week of unpacking I went to clean the windows and noticed that the lower sache of 6 or 7 windows was broken and that the stationary pane of the sliding glass door was scratched. I was told by Lindsay rep that it was my fault because I didn't open them correctly when I cleaned them I had actually called to our building expediter on the very day that I discovered the problem and still no one stood by the customer and the Lindsay rep stated to replace them would be our cost of a minimum of $1000. No one talked about going to the installer. No one assisted the customer to get this issue resolved and now 9 months later we are having issues with the lower saches now slipping out of the casing and the window coming out and we cannot get them back in correctly.
No assist from customer service.
No assist from our builder whom i would never recommend to anyone. Furious and sad.
User's recommendation: go with a different window company, Pella or Anderson who will stand by their product
Product Quality and Customer Service
- - Windows developed cracks and gaps.
- - A leak caused substantial water damage.
- - Customer service was terrible and the Seattle owner was unprofessional.
The window quality is terrible with them developing cracks and gaps. In the worst case this resulted in a massive leak causing substantial water damage.
Additionally, the customer service is terrible. The owner of the Seattle subsidiary is unprofessional and insulting.
This company does not deserve your money.
Preferred solution: Go out of business
Take your money and leave
- - I canceled an order and seek a refund.
- - Six weeks with no check.
- - AG complaint filed; 19 emails exist.
- - CC dispute filed; avoid this company.
I canceled a order. Been fighting them to get my money back.
It’s a total run around. The check is in the mail. Bunch of BS. Went to the AG’s office.
Filed a complaint. Been 6 weeks. Still no check. My cc company has filed a dispute against them.
The window company told me that the cc company paid me so they don’t have to. That is very stupid and reflects the attitude and mentality of this company. I have 19 email I can provide to prove all said. A law suit will be filed and its gonna cost them much more.
Real stupid isn’t it. PLEASE DO NOT deal with this company.
Read all reviews from all the review sites. Do not read the reviews from their site
Preferred solution: Full refund
TERRIBLE !!!!!!
- - Lindsay Pinnacle triple-pane windows were installed; installer pitched them as top-of-the-line.
- - Outer seals failed; noise is high and frost inside.
Had Lindsay Pinnacle triple pane windows installed about 2 years ago. The installer(Scamman) brought this big presentation on how good Lindsay windows are.
Complete lie. With in a few months all of the outer seals had to be replaced and the locking mechanisms had to be moved to make windows close tight. These are supposed to be the Top-of-the-Line windows. The noise level you here from the outside is awful.
Air comes through and even had frost on my window trim on the inside this past winter.
Company and installer don't care. Junk Junk Junk
DON’T USE THIS COMPANY FOR WINDOWS
- - They take your money and do not fix their mistakes.
- - They work with contractors who scam people and have rude customer service with no resolution.
They take your money, they do not fix there mistakes, they work with contractors who scam people, they have very rude customer service, they do not work towards resolution. This is a company I have paid $100k his past year to and have been treated like dirt.
Once they have the money you don't exist
- - Order took 8 months to install.
- - Glass arrived wrong or defective.
- - Lindsay visits failed; wrong glass or mis-cut.
The original order took 8 months to be installed. The windows were ordered correctly by Harley Exterior but came in with wrong or with defective glass.
The Lindsay team has been out twice to fix the glass and screens that were defective but were not able to do that because either they brought the wrong type of glass or had miss-cut glass. It is 6 months later and on the third trip out I missed them by a few minutes and they left without a phone call to say they were there. My neighbor had to let me know they were standing around. I got no where when I asked it they could come back within a few minutes it was, 'you weren't there so sad too bad', screw you for another month.
My advice is do not order from Linday Windows because even though they have a 'double lifetime warranty', it's only good if you can use it.
It's cost me 5 vacation days so far and I will have to burn another one to finally get the windows fixed.
No, we can work with you, no, sorry we missed you it's you weren't there when scheduled (10 minutes late) so you can wait 20 more days.
Harley exteriors didn't put any pressure on Lindsay windows to return right a way even though I got there it was you had an appointment-too bad. $23K worth of too bad-don't use them.
Lindsay windows very poor Qaulity
- - Four Lindsay windows installed cost over $6,000; they leak air and frost over, service was mediocre, and the buyer may pursue small claims.
We had 4 Lindsay windows installed in November of 2015 at a cost of over $6000.00 dollars. The salesman gave a great sales pitch and found a sucker.
These windows leak air terribly, wouldn't drain worth a darn and frosted over as bad as my rotted out old Pella windows. I seriously don't believe these windows are the same as the salesman's sample brought into my home. Service was mediocre at best. I will never buy another Lindsay window ever again.
Buyer beware these windows are NOT worth the money. I have more windows to replace but will not be buying anymore of these junk Lindsay windows.
I am seriously thinking about filing a small claims action against the company for the poor quality of the windows. I believed I was buying a superior window and was duped into buying a poor quality window.

Verified Reviewer |Poor water drainage, leaks air, poor quality control.
- - Limited window options.
- - One window replaced within a year due to fingerprints inside.
- - Weep holes fail and water may freeze behind siding.
Linday windows are bad! I did not have the choice of windows to be installed in my home. In less than one year, one window was replaced due to fingerprints INSIDE the window. The UV sunlight apparently develops them just like a Polaroid picture.
The second major problem is the design of their slider windows. Rains in my state will easily over work the poor weep hole design and cause flooding inside the home. As a bonus, those water channels allow water to freeze inside and allow water to go behind the siding. Builders Millwork & Windows LLC tries to push off the issue as a "homeowner" problem and wants to charge money to look at their cut-rate windows. I had to place rope caulk on the outside of the window to prevent further leaking problems.
On top of that, the seals of all the windows are failing and I'm having to tape them up like they are 40 year old sash windows. Even though these are not less than 7 year old "modern" high E windows.
If I had a choice in the matter I would have put in quality windows. But, then again you can't really trust any company in this country always spending more on marketing than on workmanship.
None of these installed windows had any labeling that you could read the brand nor type. I only found out from the Builders Millwork service tech when he came out to replace the one failed glass window.
Who's to say you can trust even a random voice like mine?
Signed, Frustrated.
- Left factory defective
Preferred solution: Perhaps a prorated money back to put towards better quality windows. I'd rather not have to deal with Builders Millwork of Sioux Falls any more than I have to.
Lindsay Windows Review
- - Terrible service; never go to them.
- - Warrenville office staff are manipulative.
- - Windows fog up and leak.

Terrible Service!!! Never go to them.
The people in the office of Warrenville are complete munipulators and just tell you what you want to hear with no action!
All there windows fog up and leak. Not worth hundreds let alone thousands.
Brand new sliding patio door is not airtight and left the factory defective
- - Expensive Lindsay 2030 door leaks air at the bottom.
- - Factory defect; missing weatherstripping; 3-week screen part wait; cannot recommend.
I just had a very expensive sliding patio door installed last week and it also leaks air. I purchased the 2030 model, which is Lindsay's best. I used a general wholesaler/contractor for the install. I paid attention during the install and as I was checking the door, I could feel air movement at the bottom. The contractor's service manager, who was at my house, also checked the door over, and agreed with me that an excessive amount of air was flowing at the bottom of the door. It felt as if the door had been left open a crack.
A Lindsay service employee had to come to my house to check the door. Apparently the door had left the factory defective; it lacked weather stripping, among other issues. The service employee applied Lindsay's version of weatherstripping, but I could still feel airflow. I was told this is "common" to patio doors, and yet when I was sold on Lindsay, I was told that it was "air tight".
I was also told that when it rains, water may "trickle" across the track, and if the rain was really heavy it could be a "torrent", but this was "normal". It was part of the Lindsay design. My old patio door was 41 years old and never once did I have water in the track.
I have to wait for three weeks for the part for the screen door. I do not consider the install of my patio door complete until I have a functioning door. The install was fine; the door is not.
I cannot in good conscience recommend this company's products. No manufacturer should be okay with allowing defective product out the door.
- Customer service - scott and terri
- Product not meeting spec
- Paid full on defective product
- No product information

Good windows. Poor screens.
- - Lindsay casement and awning windows installed; contractor was excellent.
- - Screens installed poorly; frame doesn't fit tightly and must be redone.
I had Lindsay casement & awning windows installed last fall. The contractor was excellent - no problems with the windows.
The screens, however, are a different matter. The mesh screening was installed poorly & will have to be redone. The extruded screen frame does not fit tight against the window. On the one occasion I opened the windows, the house filled with bugs.
These windows were not cheap, & the poor quality of the screens leads me to question the quality of the windows themselves. If I had it to over again, I'd have gone with a window I could open.
Any solutions?
Lindsay Slider Windows
- - Six Lindsay Slider windows installed Aug 2010; only one replaced.
- - Windows leak air and water; curtains move.
- - No compensation offered; plastic needed.
August 2010 we put in 6 Lindsay Slider windows.Had installer and sales person, even owner of company out. Contacted company a bunch of times after that.
Finally got someone to come out. They replaced 1 window. These windows are terrible. Air leaks all over.
The air leak was so bad that on one of the windows with a curtain, the curtain was moving in the air leak. We were also told that the windows met air infiltration standards to not leak but we could see water on the interior of the windows. And we have when it has rain real hard, we had water on the track inside the window. How can rain come in but not wind?
We used more gas after we put these windows in then we had used before. Do not purchase Lindsay Slider
windows. These are tilt-in windows. All they will do is either give us the other lift out sliders or we live with what we have and Buy PLastic to keep the cold out.
We had the lift out sliders before and we went to these because it was getting so hard for me to lift them out.
They will not compensate us at all.We live in Wisconsin so guess what, we have to put plastic on these new windows. Very disappointed!!!!!!!
