I was neither satisfied or impressed with our window installation based on the lack of information provided from the salesman, the failure to protect our interior belongings during the installation process, and the failure to correct damages caused to my existing window structures during the removal and installation process. The most serious issue with our installation was the damage caused to our existing interior window frames and surrounding wall during the removal of our current windows. There were multiple places where the interior window frames were nicked and/or dented and there were a few cracks in the paint and a couple quarter sized paint chips missing from the walls adjacent to the window frames cause by the removal of our current windows. When I asked the lead installer (who stated that he is also the Huntsville office manager), he stated that this type of damage is normal and they do not repair the damages that they cause. I was amazed and appalled by his lack of concern for the damage caused to my window frames and the surrounding paint. If this type of damage is normal, I would have expected a damage waiver prior to work being done. My next issue had to do with the lack of protection from the possibility of broken glass during the removal of our old windows. We had one window completely shatter during removal yet the installers did not provide drop clothes to catch the broken glass. They did sweep up the majority of the glass and then asked if they could borrow our vacuum to clean up the smaller shards at the end of the job. Based on not wanting them to use our high-end Dyson for their clean-up job, we declined and I borrowed a shop-vac for the clean-up. I am at a loss as to why the installers did not provide drop cloths if this is a common occurrence or why they would not have a shop-vac on hand to properly clean-up at the end of the job. Outside the window that broke, the installers cleaned up most of the broken glass from the mulched area under the window, but I continue to find small pieces of glass in the mulch. One of the windows removed was above our air conditioner and there are large broken pieces of the removed window framing inside the air conditioning unit under the cooling fan. Additionally, we found small glass shards and glass dust on our son’s comforter from the replacement of the window in his room. Again, drop cloths would have protected the interior and exterior areas around the work. In regard to the lack of information from the salesman, our salesman explained that the replacement vinyl windows would need to be installed into the current interior window frames and stated that they would extend out from the frames by about ¼ inch or so. When the windows were installed, the inner frames actual extend more than an inch inside the interior window frame, significantly reducing the size of the window glass, more than expected. During the initial sales pitch, I had asked for pictures of installed windows for visual confirmation, but the salesman stated that they did not have pictures available. Another lack of information provided had to do with the outside window framing and cladding around the installed windows. The cladding consisted of shaped sheet metal placed around the windows that is only held in place with caulking. I do not know if that is industry standard, but I am quite concerned about the longevity of sheet metal cladding held in place with caulking. There are places where the sheet metal is bent into a lip extending out over the siding on the back of the house; this sheet metal looks like it could easily be caught by the wind and torn from the single bead of caulking holding it in place. The installer stated that he is not aware of that happening to any previous jobs, but I have received previous wind damage that has torn Masonite siding from the adjacent area. I will need to find some type of epoxy to secure the sheet metal framing to the siding. My final complaint concerns additional damage to other interior belongs. One of the installers knocked a picture frame from the wall in our stairwell, breaking the glass and damaging the frame. Additionally, in my son’s room, when we took the horizontal blinds down, we laid them on the floor. One of the installers moved the blinds onto my son’s bed and created an inch long tear in his comforter. Both of these issues were noted to the installers but there they made no attempt to compensate for the damage. Again, a drop cloth would have prevented this damage along with preventing the glass that we found on his comforter. Overall, we like the functionality of the windows, but I am unsatisfied with lack of information provided by the salesman, the installation, and the installer’s lack of regard for the damage done to the window frames, the surrounding area, or our other property. After a lengthy discussion, the installers filled the damaged window frames with putty and I held back $200 of the final payment in order to have the window frames repainted and the other touch-up work repaired by another contractor who is remodeling a bathroom for us.
