  We have been in communication with you throughout this entire process with detailed notes on timeline updates. COVID has really changed the way suppliers, manufacturers, and such operate. We experience the same frustration on our end with delays. We do our best to provide the best customer service and to keep our customers informed throughout the process. Unfortunately, the specific window you ordered has been on back order for quite some time. In addition to being on back order, we have had to re-order it three times due to our high standards. When the window arrives to our warehouse, we do a thorough inspection to verify the quality and if it does not meet our expectations, we have to re-order. Great news though, we have received your window in our warehouse, and it is in perfect condition this time. Looks like we have already scheduled a date for installation with you for this week. Hope you enjoy your beautiful new windows for many years to come!

  On June 24, 2022 a representative from Home Town Contractors (Brandon, I believe his name was) came out to give me a quote on new windows for our home. I was told when I scheduled the appointment that it would only take 1 1/2 hours (set for 1pm) which was fine because I had a 5pm appointment that evening. I informed him that I was getting 3 quotes and I would be the one making the decision since my husband has Parkinson's and does not comprehend things. Brandon was here for over 6 hours and instead of leaving like he was told to do he completed paperwork with my husband to buy his windows. So when I got home all the paperwork was done (using probably misinformation since my husband has NO clue what our income is on disability). I was told it was a done deal but we could do the windows in 2 sections. Cost was over $20K. So we agreed to do the non custom windows first and when paid off then the custom. December (week prior to Christmas) windows were installed. Kitchen nook 5 windows leak in tracks but company says I am imaging it or it is coming from other source. They write in their computer it is fixed since I am the only one who feels the cold etc. They placed foam in tracks but still leaks. Feb was told by Wes that he, the representative from window manufacturer, Mike and Jordan would come out. I have yet to hear anything from them and I can guarantee if I call they will feed me more bs and their computer says issue is fixed. I have checked with neighbors who have this type of window and they do not have this issue at all. If it is coming from another source why can they NOT come out with a thermal gun and PROVE that it is NOT their windows. We have to wear a jacket in the nook if we are sitting in the area. As for Green Sky if I had NOT released the money at that specific time, I would loose financing. They take advantage of people with mental disabilities, on limited income, think they are 100% right & customer wrong, do NOT fix issues.

  (September) They destroyed my window sensors back in July. I’ve been emailing regularly, calling, and they even showed up in person. Their employees lied about destroying the sensors. I have video surveillance in my home that shows everything that happened. (October): The company still has not reimbursed me the $414 for the window sensors. They gave me the option to take a check or have them pay *** directly. I chose to have them pay me directly. They’re now refusing to cut the check. I spoke with WES who is the person who initially offered the check. He told me accounting does not want to cut the check. I asked who I can talk to in accounting. He said “Hannah.” I asked if I could talk to her. He said she has no say in what happens. I then asked who did. Wes said that he himself had the final say and that it’s in the company policy to pay *** directly. I asked to see the policy. He said “No, I don’t have to show you anything.” I then said “if it’s in the policy like you say then I’d like to see it.” He then sarcastically said “do you want my employee handbook as well? I don’t legally have to show you anything.” Wes was extremely rude and combative. He says the phone conversations are recorded which I’m hoping is true so the company can review them.

  It is standard in our industry that alarm system components have to be reinstalled by professional alarm system companies. We spoke with Taylor and agreed to pay the *** directly for the 3 window contacts we removed during install. The invoice provided to us was for a system upgrade that was not completed. As we stated in multiple conversations with Taylor, we are willing to pay for the 3 window contacts to the alarm company at time of installation. We hope you enjoy your new windows.

  I am rejecting this response because:
  

  *** will not allow a bypass to the security system without my password. Please also respond to the declined transaction from your business. 

  
  Sincerely,
