In May of this year we ordered hurricane doors and windows for our house in ************** cost $50,000 from Home Owners Alliance, ********************. The salesman *** ****** showed us a video of what he claimed was their product holding back a foot of Water during Hurricane *** in ***********************. Fl We were impressed and sold on their product. We felt confident and safe. Hurricane ****** came. We got a glancing blow, other areas like ******** Key got hit hard. There was water but little wind ************************ said 45 mph max here for ******. We found 2 inches of dirty water had come in. We started pushing water out and were surprised to see the water was running out under their doorsill. The ***** did not appear to be caulked same issue living room and bedroom. There was a huge mess with all floor coverings. some personals and lower part of walls ruined Calls to ***, we got the run around. Eventually they sent a crew headed by *****, a Senior Tec who was also the original Installation Team Leader. While at our house ***** apologized several times saying by oversight the doors were never caulked. He spent a lot of time doing the caulk work. Later, probably to protect his job he told the bosses the caulk washed away. That is ludicrous and not true. We have had boats go through hurricanes and never saw caulk washed away At the time of Repair ***** said that their units 2.5 inch sill would have held back most or all of the 2 water if it had been caulked properly Fortunately, insurance and savings paid for much. However, the disruption, upsetment and mess that went on for months as well as a serious diabetic foot infection from the polluted water. where the result of their products failure I have asked repeatedly for them at least to cover the insurance deductible $5000. We trusted them, felt we were in good hands and our ask for help a run around full of insults fand half-truths.Business Response

Dear BBB General Counsel & Ms. ******************* have written a response to Mr. ***** ******** as of yesterday. we first spoke in late December when he presented his issue to us. They agreed to a recorded call to ensure compliance to the matter.
i will share my response to them from yesterday directly to you both **** Z General Counsel and Ms. *********** at the BBB. it will be email to you directly.
In Short they are surrounded by water and were hit by the two Hurricanes badly which is unfortunate. I have tried to explain numerous times in our conversation our contract does not cover acts of God which it states includes Hurricanes of course.
That is an insurance issue and as my Insurance agent stated your homes are not submarines they are not waterproof for winds hitting your home with winds and water for over six hours.
I have also copied our outside council in the matter to review as well for fairness for everyone.
In my recorded call which they allowed they admitted that for three months from install it rained and they never had an issue, until the hurricane. This is an issue where they are on a writing campaign to make us pay for their deductible to cover all their insurance damage which we unequivocally feel is unjust.
I ask the BBB to review the letter I am sending today and review the call first. I only ask for fairness and proper review.
Regards

I am rejecting this response because: Our home was damaged due to an Over sold and Improperly Installed window and door system, from HPA.We had bought a bay window previously through *** ******, of HPA. Concerned over Hurricanes here in ******* we contacted him about replacing all our windows and doors with Hurricane ones. *** showed us a video on his phone, of their product, it showed water about a foot and a half high holding back storm water from hurricane *** in ***********************. We were sold and entered into a contract to replace all doors and windows. We were extremely happy and felt confident from what was shown that we were safe and no additional measures, like sandbags, would ever be required.
A crew, led by ***** installed the product. Subsequent to that 2 or 3 times, small crews came and did stucco and some additional caulking on windows. Apparently no one was directed to caulk the *****. At that time we incorrectly assumed that the ***** had been correctly caulked underneath at the time of installation. Still, We were very happy and felt we had chosen the right company to protect our home. Hurricane ****** came. There was surge here but no high winds or waves the national weather service showed maximum gust here at 45mph. . We are 17 miles from the **************, which was hit hard by ******. That was not us, the storm was far less severe where we live at the dead end of a canal in a fully developed residential area. miles from the *************** Refer to the attached Tax Appraisers Map of our location.
We had stayed at a motel for the storm as we had no idea how severe it would be. It did not seem severe there which was 2 miles from out house. On our return we found water in all parts of the house and indications that 2 inches came in from marks on the walls.. Carpet, laminate flooring drywall were all damaged and required removal and replacement. Two inches of water can do a lot of damage, causing upsetment and expense.
In our initial cleanup we were pushing the water out of the kitchen and bedroom through the sliding doors HOA had installed. We were shocked to see the water was flowing out feely under the ***** of those doors. We called HOA and got the run around with no help or explanation. I contacted *** ****** and he gave me the name of a woman , Alyssa Phone X1045, at HOA to call. ****** said she would send a their best crew to evaluate and fix. She said that there had been a less desirable crew set to come , but was cancelling them so ******* crew could come. The cancelled crew showed up anyway unannounced we we weren't home. They did nothing
******* crew came. ***** told us that the ***** had never been caulked due to an oversight on the companies part. He apologized several times. He and his crew spend the day properly caulking the product. These doors have a sill and tracks that are 2.5 inches high. He said that properly caulked they would have held back all or most of that 2 inches of water that came in. Later, to protect his job, ***** changed the story that the storm washed the caulk away. There never was any caulk, that is ludicrous I understand him changing his tune as he was the one responsible for the installation.
All the damage was caused by an Over Sold, Improperly Installed product. Insurance , savings and hundreds of hours of work by my wife and myself. (we are in our mid 70s) fixed our house. Due to their oversold, improperly installed doors, they are directly responsible for all the damage, but all we ask is for them to pay the $5,000 deductible.

Dear Sir,
We have submitted evidence from your public ******** account to the ******************** to review.
The screenshots we sent show a very different view of your thoughts on HPA, I quote from you about "10 inches of storm surge to your neighbors from hurricane ****** you stated "the expensive hurricane windows and doors ***** insisted on saved us."
You also discussed and made comparisons with your neighbors on how ****** caused damage you made comparisons with your neighbor ****. you know contact with us does not warranty acts of god, Hurricanes etc. you signed that your whole home was affected by the Hurricane as you stated in your posts we submitted to the BBB. The caulking with ***** was a he said back and forth as it had caulking that as he stated could have had damage from the ********* know very well the water came in from multiple places and again HPA does not warranty Hurricane damage. Your Insurance does. With the public posts and telephone call you allowed us to record where you admitted you had no issues until the Hurricane. We stand firm on our end with proof of the fact you complimented us on the post we pointed out you are looking for someone to cover your deductible which is not a proper for HPA. Your previous text messages i would also share if needed with the BBB to show you were attempting an unjust push to us to pay for this, which we deem unfair in every way. sending a draft letter to my text if we don't agree can only be viewed as a way to push for something unfairly as you have already done with the BBB as noted. I have asked them to attach the public posts.

I am rejecting this response because: Your product was oversold and never properly installed,resulting in 2 inches of dirty storm water, from Hurricane ******, entering our home doing extensive damage and causing months of stress for us.
We reached out to you for help after the flood. Finally,after a frustrating number of calls and emails you sent a crew. The crew was headed by *****, the same man who was in charge of the initial installation.While here ***** apologized multiple times for the oversights that allowed the ***** to go uncaulked. Later, probably at managements direction, to protect his job, and to cover liability, his story turned around 180 degrees.
My video file showing the failed door ***** was too large for BBB, but here is a link to my face book page showing the failed *************** wife is dumping water in the kitchen and you can see the water flowing under your door ***** that where never caulked.
**************************************************************
I had hoped in an act of good faith that your company would cover our insurance deductible. It is a small amount considering we suffered nearly $100,000 in damage and 4 months disruption in our home, from your incomplete installation of the door *****.
An incomplete installation is not an act of god
Hurricane Hellene, preceded ****** by two weeks and did considerable damage in our area. Despite what we originally thought, its flood waters did not reach the doors. We thought it did but that was incorrect. Your doors were never a savior to us, only a curse,

We signed a Contract with Home Performance Alliance on July ******* For Eleven Hurricane Windows and One Hurricane Triple Sliding Glass Door at a cost of $41,846.00 At which time I told them that I did NOT want my Electric Hurricane Shutters removed.Installation was 9/12/24 After installation there was a s**** left under the Electric Hurricane Shutter over the slider and this caused it to get stuck and now it no longer works. I removed the s**** and tried again but the shutter will not come down I tried to do it manually this did not work either. They did not put all the brakets they removed back up on the bed room hurricane window.A Major concerns is that the center window in one room has a crack from bottom right to top left I was told this is not covered by warranty because it's only the outside pane and that does not matter. These are NEW WINDOWS it matters to me. Pictures were sent to the company.After installation there were several things that were not comleted so another person was going to come to complete the project. They had stated they would wash and clean all windows after installation. They did not. When the windows were completed We the home owner could NOT lock the window they came back and made adjustments. After the adjustments were made If I opened a window the window would not close because the adjustment s**** were in the way and that prevented me from closing the windows I tightened the screws to close the window now I am back to not being able to lock the windows easily. Sliding doors would also not lock again they just losened screws. If I am lucky enough to get someone on the phone after, what they called "completed installation" I get no answers only a promise of a call back in 24 to 48 hours which does not come.Business Response

Dear Ms. ***** ********:
First after reading your complaint I got with ****** **** our Service Manager and he updated me that he spoke to you and put in a Warranty claim with Wincore for a replacement sash.
You agreed to a tentative date of 2/27/25 to replace.
****** told you he would respond to the electronic shutter. We read your comments about the shutter and its in a gray area as we first dont know what really happened with the screw, as its written in the contract that the customer is responsible to remove all items that could hinder the installation like shades or shutters.
To show good citizenship on the BBB and to you personally we would have our special HPA Tech ***** look at your shutter and most likely be able to fix it.
We do want to show the BBB that even though we were never paid in full we are willing to do these services. You still have a balance of $3,000.00 which we are gracefully showing you we will work together to assist you and be paid the balance to ensure your Warranty is active.
We will reach out to you again this week with Mr. ***************** you

In July 2024 two sliders were incorrectly installed the first time, causing water damage to the living room and bedroom flooring plus additional expense to hire ServPro to dry and treat flooring against mold.Additionally I had to replace my flooring due to water damage caused by improper installation by Home Performance Alliance . I spent an additional $8,400 to fix their inadequate installation.I left numerous messages and e mails with **** *., Director of Operations, to which he never responded. I am looking for HPA to reimburse me for the additional money I spent to make my condo livable again.

Dear Ms. ******************* spoke to our Director of ******************* and we reviewed your original call date in August of 2024. I understand you were out of the country Had had someone staying at your home.
I asked if the two sliders in questions had leaked before the Hurricane? you stated the first inspection did not pass some additional work needed to be done.
The reality is just because it fails the inspection doesn't necessarily mean its the root cause of the problem you had with leaks. We know quite a few people had leaks and damage with the Hurricane and also did your tenant do everything correct to ensure the windows were closed correctly. Perhaps he did but you see everything must be looked into and researched, you cant just put the blame for an issue on a particular job until we have all the facts which we promise you we will. We will work together to work towards a resolution and cause. But we ask to hold your blame until all the facts are in.
Thank you in advance we will be in touch next week.

I am rejecting this response because:I have owned my condo since April 2022, and did not have any issue with water leaking into my home from any storms since that time and prior to this install.
I owned my condo during some of the storms the first and second year of my ownership and can testify that I had no issues with water penetrating into my condo ( as I had friends who checked on my condo during storms when I was not present). We also know how to properly close a slider door.
July 23, 2024 was the initial installation of two patio sliders and 3 windows by Home Performance Alliance ( HPA).
August 4, 2024 rain water seeped into my condo because of improper caulking ( there was no caulking on the threshold and jambs). **** ***** who was present and resides at my condo, contacted HPA regarding the water issue and forwarded videos and fotos to HPA.
August 6, 2024 I called HPA spoke to **** who said he would forward this issue to **** ***** and address the issue asap. I was out of the country at that time with sporadic access to phone and e mail and authorized **** ***** , who resides in my condo, to spearhead this situation and speak on my behalf.
August 7, 2024 **** ( after consulting with me) , hired ServPro who pulled flooring and did remediation in my condo to address the water issue for my cost of $4,721.37.
my flooring remained pulled out until we knew that this issue was resolved.
August 18, 2024 City of ************* Inspector red tagged the job due to wrong threshold installation, ( it was too short ).
August 22, 2024 HPA sent out ***** to install a higher riser and after he left, **** noticed that part of it was not attached at all and was flopping or moving around.
August 27, 2024 I called HPA and was unable to speak with **** ***** at two separate times.
August 28, 2024 water seeped in again . I sent an email to **** ***** regarding the issue to which he never responded . I wanted to speak with him to resolve this issue asap.
August 29, 2024 video was sent to HPA by **** *****.
September 2, 2024, Labor Day, HPA came to take out the two sliders including frames, caulked them properly ( as it should have been done originally) and reinstalled them. There was no caulking when the sliders were pulled out . After installation, water was sprayed forcefully against the window sliders and NO water came into the condo once the installation was done correctly.
I and **** have all fotos and videos of this timeline and what happened when. What I wrote is a shortened recap of the facts.
I had to install new flooring in my living area due to the water damage at my cost for the flooring is $ 3,639.18.
I would like to be reimbursed for the two expenses I incurred ( $4,721.37 plus $3,639.18 = $8,360.55) caused by the improper installation of the two patio sliders.
fotos, videos and receipts will be forwarded when requested.

Dear ***** **********:
I addressed your BBB complaint directly with Mr. ****** He has already been working to research all your statements. We are reviewing all the parties who took part i the project and working to have all the facts so we can mediate an amicable resolution for you.
**** needs to speak to the installers and service in order to be able to resolve.
To be able to be able to answer to your statements takes time its not a quick answer to follow-up your rejection on the BBB. That back and forth will not solve a factual inquiry.
We have contacted our BBB *** that we request time to investigate your claim properly. There is no need to reject until we have a chance to properly respond to work towards a solution. as we are committed to resolve.

I am rejecting this response because:
I have two options according to BBB:1) to accept your response which means that BBB will close out my complaint OR
2) to reject your response which means that the complaint remains open
I choose #2 until this complaint is resolved.
Two more issues I just discovered :
1) The living room glass slider door does not lock. The locking mechanism is stiff and cant be locked.
2) The screens for the two patio sliders do not lock at all. The locking mechanism is non existent .
I would like this fixed asap.
I also want to come to an amicable agreement with your company if possible. I understand it takes time and I have given your company ample time and have been more than understanding and will allow you additional time to handle this situation. As I stated before , I had NO water seeping into my condo PRIOR to your installation , with any prior rain events. If the installation was done correctly we would not be in this predicament.

They did sent someone to fix an issue with the locks on the sliders, and that is all they did so far.

Dear Ms. ******************* apologize for the delay I wanted to review everything with our Operations Director to get insight on the specific details of the matter.
As you know we sent our service team out take care of your other service issues as we needed to address your assertions of the leak you described and the hurricane that damaged your home.
As I stated there is no way for HPA to know if your renter (as you were in ****** at the time) had the sliders closed correctly or if anything else was parlayed into your leaks. **** ***** our Operations Director informed me when our crew was there working you had other contractors at the home working on your outside area by the sliding glass doors. Could they have caused an issue? we don't know. .
Also you brought up the sill riser on the inspection. ****** **** our Service manager specifically stated that the sill risers main function is to maintain wind control so the glass stays in place. it was not as you maintained for the water issue you brought up.
I can firsthand also interject during the last Hurricane in *************** my double doors which never leaked water came in for me it was tile not wood. When the Insurance adjuster came to my home he stated that from an intense Hurricane type storm you will get leaks you never had. he stated to me "Your home is not a submarine" it leaks even concrete can have moisture enter from the smallest crack in the foundation or from the smallest seam between two windows.
Ms. ********** we value you as a customer and will do whatever we can to assist you. but we can not take responsibility for a Hurricane force wind that damaged your floor in some way, There are two many gray areas and too may options that could have caused the issue.
To the BBB we stand on this answer but we are always open to a mediated discussion between both parties if needed. Our response today is from extensive research and meeting with Operations to fully answer Ms. **************** .

In response to my complaint #******** filed on 1/8/25: Home Performance Alliances last response is unsatisfactory as they blame others as opposed to taking responsibility for their below par job. As I stated previously I have an exact time line of what took place, including video and fotos. They installed my windows on 7-23-24, the two patio sliders facing the water leaked on 8-4-24. If in fact the storm was so bad, the bedroom window facing the water should have leaked as well it it didnt. On 8-28-24 there was a rainstorm, not a hurricane, at which time my two patio sliders leaked again. When Home Performance Alliance came on 9-2-24 they had to take the two patio sliders completely out and it was then that **** *****, my friend, who was present at that tu e, noticed that they had NOT BEEN CAULKED during the initial install, and there was NO SEALER present . **** brought it up to ***** the installer and he concurred. Water was sprayed heavily on the outside of both sliders and no water came in. In addition when the City of ************* inspector came he failed the job because the riser that was installed was for an indoor door and was not the correct height for an outdoor water facing patio slider . The video that I have shows water coming in from the properly CLOSED slider. The argument that perhaps the slider was closed incorrectly does not have a leg to stand on. The further comment from Home Alliance that work was being done on my patio floor doesnt make sense since that job was simply to reseal the surface of the patio, no more and no less. I request for full reimbursement of my expenses to put my condo back in order . I am not asking to be reimbursed for the $32,000 I paid for my windows. If nothing happens with this request I will have my attorney proceed. ***** ********** Cell ************Business Response

Complaint: 22783160I do not accept the latest response from the business since they are transferring the blame to an uninvolved party, ( the patio workers hired by my HOA who do not do anything with window install).
The issue remains that if Home Performance Alliance would have done a proper job at the very beginning I would not have had to deal with the multiple problems that arose after.
The two sliders in question were installed incorrectly with no caulking. At that time the patio project for our building had not started. Furthermore its up to the window installers to apply the proper caulking , etc, NOT the patio crew that had nothing to do with installation.
Look, we can go back and forth with this complaint forever. I request that Home Performance Alliance take responsibility for their actions and do the right thing for me, their customer. I paid them $32,000 for them to do a proper job from beginning to end, including installation. I never expected a company to give me this much run around for a problem they caused by improper installation.
With the original windows ( the old windows), I never had water pouring in from a storm, hurricane or heavy rain event. This whole mess happened because of the improper installation. If Home Performance Alliance has a problem they need to assert themselves with the installers they hired to do my installation.
I am prepared to have my attorney send them a letter of intent to proceed legally.
I stand firm on this and I am done with this back and forth that does not amount to anything.

Dear Ms.**********,
In fairness to seeking an understanding of the situation I am sending you text messages between you and our Operations Director, The Installer **** **** and you.
For security purposes I did not post it on the BBB portal but I am sharing it with our BBB Representative so we can have further discussion to see our point of view and yours as well. (Check your email)
We do appreciate you as a customer, but we ask for you to understand when a Hurricane Hits its not a regular issue and our Warranty does not cover Hurricane damage on Terms and Conditions. We are open for discussion but at the same time we must present all the facts to consider. We stand by the text that the *********** were indeed there when we were which contradicts your recent statement on the BBB.
Please review the text messages below which highlight the *********** as you recently responded to on your recent BBB rejection. (see your email for the text messages between you, our Installer and Operations)
Id like to clarify that the sliders were installed in full compliance with industry standards, except for the caulking. In our communications, you pointed out that there was a specific type of caulking that needed to be used, and we acknowledge the importance of this detail. Based on your request, we made every effort to obtain the required caulk from your patio installers.
During the installation process, the groundskeeper provided us with the caulk that was intended for the windows and informed us that they would handle the caulking for the patio door as requested by the condo board. We understand this situation may have been confusing, and we sincerely wish we could have completed the work ourselves to ensure everything was done to your satisfaction.
Ultimately,we were directed to let the groundskeeper take charge of this particular aspect of the project, following the *** guidelines. We truly appreciate your patience and understanding as we navigate this matter and are committed to finding a suitable resolution that addresses your concerns.
Please understand again that Hurricane damage is not under the warranty of our terms and conditions.
Thank you we look forward to reviewing this further with you.Customer Answer

I am waiting to talk to **** ******, grounds keeper at my condo to address what the window company said in their last e mail .
The issue once again is that improper caulking was done by the window company at the initial install .
The other caulking was done by the patio people to the floor of my patio and it has nothing to do with the window install !!
I havent been label to speak with **** yet and I will keep you posted when I do.
My complaint is to remain open until final resolution .
Thank you,

Dear Ms. ************** asked ****** **** our Service Manager and ***** A. who works directly at HPA with MSFH customers to respond for you and update the BBB:
"****** and I spoke with her this morning. She mentioned that her window is extremely difficult to close. ****** attempted to schedule an appointment for as early as tomorrow but explained he will be out of the office for the week. She said she didn't have time to discuss it further, so we will reach out next week to try scheduling the appointment and resolve the window issue before submitting the final inspection with MSFH."
***** further stated to me that you just need to have your final inspection with MSFH but you need the window adjusted first.
Thank you

his past October Home Performance Alliance did a bathroom remodel at a cost of over $30.000. They put in a walk in shower that requires a glass shield to contain the water. The job was completed to my satisfaction except they never installed the glass shield. They were paid for the entire job. After weeks of calls I find they subcontracted the glass installation to Tampa Specialty Glass. I called Tampa Glass and was informed that HPA has not paid their bills and they were not doing any work for them until payment was made. I paid for the entire job and have called Home Performance almost weekly . They have not returned my calls and I can not find out the status of my job. I don't think it fair for me to be in the middle of a business dispute. I would gladly take the cost of the glass and find someone else to do the job but they will not communicate . Anything you can do to help would be greatly appreciated.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because:They are not saying if they ordered 1 or 2 windows. When the repairman came last time he said that they only sent him one window, and that he knew nothing about a second window., yet he was the one that opened second window when it broke. I need 2 new windows to correct my problem . Contrary to the service mans last visit both windows shown on my contract ( S29065) have same dimensions.

My complaint against Home Performance Alliance (HPA) is with their deceptive business practices.We were solicited by HPA to install hurricane resistant windows as part of the My Safe Florida Home Program. The program reimburses qualifying homeowners up to $10,000 of the improvement costs incurred. Although my wife and I had a mutual agreement to contract HPA for the sale and installation prior to closing, at the date of the contract signing, I advised ********** ******** HPAs representative, that I would need to wake my wife to have her sign the joint agreement. According to *** ******** there was no need to bother my wife and that I could sign her name on her behalf. Clearly, I had no legal standing to forge my wifes name on the contract but that certainly was not an issue with *** *******.The crux of my complaint is not that HPA condones forgery, but that we were advised verbally and multiple times in writing that if we had not received the My Safe Florida Home Program funds by the end of July 2024, HPA would issue us a $5,000.00 customer satisfaction check. As July 2024 passed and we had not received any funds from the My Safe Florida Home Program, I reached out to HPA regarding their $5,000 guarantee. HPA responded to my correspondence but would not deny or address the $5,000 guarantee. Clearly, HPA had no intention of honoring their ************* final correspondence was to ***** ****** on October 1, 2024. In that email to *** ******* I referenced and included copies of two emails in which HPA managers acknowledged and agreed in October 2023 and again in February 2024 that we would be issued $5,000 if we had not received the My Safe Florida Home Program funds by the end of July 2024. *** ****** did not reply to my email.If HPA had no intention of honoring their guarantee, why issue one in the first place?Business Response

2 windows were measured by Home Performance Alliance 04/05/2018 and were installed 07/16/2018. The windows came with Kevlar window *******, and s**** were prepared for the *******. The project was paid for in full, and 07/11/2019, the business claimed the project complete. I called and informed I did not actually receive yet the 2 Kevlar Window *******. I was told the company would look into it. I called every year asking for them to deliver the *******, but everybody simply said it would be looked into. I communicated today to inform the windows are still under warranty, and are in need of repair, and reminded them the ******* were never delivered. The person on the phone said to take a picture of the windows to see the issue with them, but ignored the fact that I still do not have the Kevlar *******. I am still waiting patiently, and would like the ******* that were already paid for to be delivered.Business Response

The ******* are not in our warehouse but to ensure you receive what's needed we have asked our ordering department to input the order today.
The order is active and we expect them with an eta of 4 weeks.

I am rejecting this response because: The business has suggested the Kevlar will finally be received after more than 4 years of inquiries. Since they have not yet provided a correction to the windows that were also addressed in my call to the company, I cannot confirm they have made right the situation since nothing is yet done.

We are rejecting this response because: The business has confirmed the possibility of providing the Kevlar that should have been provided years ago. We are awaiting actual receipt. We still have not been provided a claim number or any information about the windows that were installed that have strange bubbles in it. The business customer service representative took down the information about the windows, received a picture of the issue, but still did not get back with us about it. However, we may still close this out if we actually do receive one part of what we already paid for, but do not understand if anyone is going to take a look at the windows themselves (which, again, a call was made to discuss).

I am rejecting this response because: The windows that require attention were seen by a representative. The email attached to this complaint says ******* will be installed.

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. Home Performance Alliance, Inc did not contact me to inform me no one was coming. I called them to inquire about the time, and was informed the tech was not available due to a family emergency. The company is not the most responsive when you already spent money; However, no matter who answers the phone, everyone is extremely professional. The company could do more to support windows after installed instead of only being responsive before they are paid. I did have someone come and look at the windows themselves and there should be a warranty claim by now (I have heard nothing as they do not call you, you have to call them).With that written, the company is taking care of the Kevlar *******. I am hoping I will not have to return to BBB for HPA to actually take care of the windows themselves since the adjuster has come already to look at the issue, take pictures, and file that claim. However, I thank BBB for mediating.
Sincerely,
****** ******
