    Status:
    Resolved
    I hired a company called **** windows and doors to replace 3 windows and 2 doors. After contacting with my contractor, he mentioned that I should order my bathroom window from Kent, as he needs it for December 1st, and **** windows wont be ready until January. No problem, I mention it to **** window, and use their professional measurements, which were very clear to the KENT store in Dartmouth Baker Dr. I show him the measurements from **** window to the guy that orders windows at Kent, and was clear about which one were which, and then went on my way to pay, as I trusted that the guy. He mentioned it was final as it is a custom product, which makes total sense. So I paid, and 4-5 weeks later I pick up my window. I thought it was quite big, but I took it home. After taking many measurements and stressing about it for hours, I realized that the guy used the exterior measurements for the interior of the window and in fact it is too big. Now it delays the works I was supposed to get done, and I may have to resolve to not install a new one at this point, as the contractor start December 1st, and needed it for that time. Anyway, I contacted Kent customer service, on the 20th of October at 00:21 AM. And ever since I never ever got an answer from them. This is unacceptable, this is a mistake from their employee and they should take ownership of it.

    Kent consumer drive Saint John NB Paid _$3700+ in July for sidelight...door..frame unit and installation...... Installed on 11 Oct 2022. Phoned Kent's early next morning with many concerns...door had light showing entire length (which allowed cold air into my home) gap as wide as 2 inches in parts.....top door not lined up ...bolt missing from hinge... screw coming out ..door squeaked like haunted house....not locking correctly.. wooden jamb not flat against walk which installer pointed out before he left ...etc... Everytime someone looked at it saw more problems....wood jamb long cracks in it and bottom hinge coming away from jamb. Kent's dragged it out for 6 weeks although sent pictures of problems..called 3 managers..etc. nothing was done.... Then, supposedly someone kicked my new door putting 2 small dents in it so Kents used this to break the warranty and refused to even put weather stripping on.....they never installed the mailslot I paid as part of original order...they did NOTHING. In Dec..I learnt that installer also did not fill the space outside under the door sill which means water can build up and rot my house. Kent's is not reliable...not honest...and to date nothing has been done and I'm out $3700 ..there are more flaws but too many to add here. I will never use Kent's again.
