BM Windows is happy to report that our company is a recent recipient of the “People Love Us On Yelp” distinction. The “People Love Us On Yelp” program has been in place since 2007. Unlike badges of honor given out by some of the other referral websites out there, you don’t have to be an advertiser on Yelp in order to be recognized.

Dr. Pisupati continues, “… the …

Simonton is a well-known brand owned by a very large company (Ply Gem) that manufactures a wide range of exterior home improvement products, from siding to roofing to rain gutters. “Simonton Windows Must Be Good Because They’re So Popular” This is an assumption many consumers make—if a product is well known, it must be good. Being owned by a such a large company means that Simonton products have a powerful marketing team behind them. They do a lot of advertising, and as a result, have a lot of name recognition. In addition, their products are sold in Home Depot stores around the country, so …
