      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because:  Nothing has been fixed yet.  I have sent the company and its installations manager the locations of several areas where caulking is missing.

      Email below.

       

      Hi Sarb,
      Here are the details of additional deficiencies I have found.
      The window in the master bedroom has 2 locations where there isn't caulking and cold air is coming in.  I have placed tape over these areas for now.  You can see the gaps in the images below.

      It also doesn't look like the top 2 windows in the image below above the suite entrance don't have any exterior caulking.  I am not sure if there's water ingress yet but water will seep into the building envelop if not sealed and I won't know until it molds or rots.  Please see attached close ups along with the far away image.

       




      Sincerely,



      **** ********

      Hi,

      Following is my email response to ****.

      Hi ****,
      Further to our telephone conversation, I have reviewed your email sent on Jan 3 2023, our first day back to work from the holiday season. 
      As mentioned, I got in Jan 4 2023 .. 


      I am attaching before and after installation pics for your reference.
      As you are well aware, your house is a unique spanish villa design that has existing wood windows in various custom frames. Majority of the windows were installed with " cut the flange to suit on site " . Most of the windows were pre caulked behind the brickmold flange and then installed. The interior caulking was completed at the same time. 
      There were a few windows in the house - for example the window in the basement - storage area that were unfinished and left open with no plywood / drywall etc.
      I believe those were the only windows in the house that were not caulked on the inside since they were wide open and unfinished on the inside.
      See pics for reference.


      Let me know what location of the house you are referring to along with pics that you are concerned about  ( taken from near and far of the house ) , .
      If they are leaking , please take the pics of the water egress from inside and send it my way as well.

       

      I have sent all the pics for his review .. 

       

      Regards
