  I had 8 windows installed less than 10 years ago but more than 5. I called in the beginning of June because 4 of the 8 windows were leaking and 1 looks like it has been leaking for a very long time. I paid the ****** for someone to come out and make sure they are leaking. When the ***s came out on 6/24/25 to check the windows he told me the one window that was the worst was an internal leak and I said that makes no sense. He checked the other 3 windows and fixed them (as of now no leaking) and the he checked the other one again and said he found the leak. the *** told me that the window was screwed in from the top and not the sides like they usually are, he caulked it and said it should be good now. I called the company back on 7/8 because the one window is still leaking and now the others have condensation and they told me that they have notes that I talked to someone and said everything Is good and I said NO I talked to someone to pay the balance but I could I say everting is good when I didnt know if it was. They said they will call me back, I have not heard from anyone as of yet. Considering I paid the money and they window is still leaking and no one has called me back is concerning. There has to be mold or rotten wood in that window and I am fairly confident it was either installed wrong or it is a defective window. I would like this fixed asap!

  I paid thousands of dollars for a bathtub remodel and after a year, the seal around the tub and the window isn't sticking. Because of this, water has been getting under the seal and has caused mold to build up. I called the company and requested that they send someone to my house to re-seal the tub and window. They said that I can have it re-done for the cost of $125 for a partial re-caulk or $225 for a full re-caulk. I don't see why I should have to pay for anything because it's only been a year since the installation. After several phone calls and text messages back and forth, the company said it's a manufacturing issue, and the warranty expired. As far as I'm concerned, it's an installation problem. They also want to blame me for using the wrong cleaning products, which isn't the case because I have been very careful about that because I don't want to damage the gloss of the tub and walls. I'm very upset about this whole situation because I spent several thousand dollars on something that didn't even last for a year in one of the areas that matters the most, the seals. Now I'm wondering what else will go wrong. I shouldn't have to keep paying for something that has already cost me a ton of money.

  We purchased 3 doors total: 2 entry way doors and a 4-panel sliding glass door from Window Works between *********. The doors came with a twenty-five year warranty and transferable to new owners if we sold the house within that timeframe. The door handles on both entry doors are peeling/metal chipping away and the screens to the sliding glass doors do not lock properly and do not have a stopper in the middle from moving all the way left or all the way right. I called the company the week of May 12th, 2025 and they would look into the issue. They followed up with me via text on May 21st stating: "After speaking with our warranty department all we can do is touch up the door tighten and adjust the handle and paint over the marks and assess the patio door lock. Since you are outside of your 5 year labor warranty there is a $150 charge or we could provide you with a mailing address of the person who owns your warranty to which you could mail a claim to see what they can do." We were never told of the sale of Window Works to a new entity or that the 25 year warranty was void. Given that this was an existing and ongoing issue, we feel the current company needs to honor the existing warranty and that we should not have to pay to have the door handles and screen stopper be replaced.I have asked on several occasions to just mail me new door handles (which retail on ****** for $29.00) and i will install them and they repeatedly say it will take 48 hours to speak with their 'warranty and legal department'.

  Customer's installation was completed 5 years ago.  Processes for warranty claims begin with an inspection.  Services fees are applicable.  Customer has refused service fees to schedule the inspection.  We ask customer to call our customer service department if they change their mind and would like an inspection so we can determine cause and next steps in the processes.  Customer's request for free product without an inspection and without paying for shipping costs is deemed unwarranted.

  We purchased 12 windows and a sliding glass door from Window Works in 2019. The windows came with a five year warranty which is still valid until July 2025. From the initial installation, there was issues with the front windows not closing all the way and with drafts. The company came out several times to fix the windows but the problems still exist. The last time they came out on 4/12/25, they informed us the windows would need to be replaced. They also told us that the company was sold in 2021/2022 and that the new company would not honor the existing warranty. The company stated we would need to pay them $1400 to replace the windows. We were never told of the sale or that the warranty was void. Given that this was an existing and ongoing issue, we feel the current company needs to honor the existing warranty and that we should not have to pay to have the windows replaced.

  In 2022 we had windows replaced in our house. The year after installation, the bay window was having issues with condensation. A representative came and notified that the windows were not receiving enough heat and to open them on cold days. We had happily obliged and did not have any issues until this year. We had a cold spell where the temperatures were in the negative digits for approximately a week, so we kept our shutters open for the time where temperatures were well below zero. The windows started to leak, and the leaks became worse as the week progressed. A technician was dispatched on January 29th who said that the windows need to be adjusted and that he could not do a leak test due to the cold. Then on February 27th, two technicians came back to remove the windows and reseat them. After the visit my wife called and talked to Jasmine to ask about what will be done to fix the staining in the wood caused by the leaking as well as the blinds that were stained and damaged by the leaks. We were told repeatedly by several representatives of the company (Jasmine and ********) that the damage was caused by the shutters. On every contact, we have told them that this is not possible since the shutters remain open 24/7. Rather than hearing my concerns, they decided to repeat the same false narrative that it was the shutters, despite telling them that we were not doing what we were accused of doing. What we want is simple. Repaint and repair the damaged wood and reimburse us for the damaged shutters. The shutters are powered, so they have not functioned correctly since the window started to leak. The rationale for why the company claims why this is happening in invalid. If it were the shutters, you would think this would have happened in past years. The leaking is a new issue that started just this year. The shutters have been on the windows since installation, and the windows did not leak like this in previous years. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

  We conducted a service inspection on 2/27/2025 and found that the unit is working as intended. During the inspection our service technician regulated and adjusted two casement sashes. The technician explained all interior damage is caused by humidity and condensation. Informed homeowner to leave shutters open and paint. 

  On 3/6/2025 our local management team spoke with the customer explained as did our senior service technician that the shutters are collecting moisture from the air, especially if they are not regularly opened or cleaned, heavy wooden shutters can contribute to condensation on windows because they block airflow, trapping moisture near the windowpane, which then condenses on the cooler glass surface when the temperature difference between the indoor air and the window essentially the shutters are preventing proper ventilation.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The response by Window Works is puzzling.  As I have noted in my complaint and told the company multiple times,condensation is not the issue.  The shutters are also not the issue as they are left open at all times when the weather is cold, therefore receiving proper ventilation. What is not acceptable is that the windows would leak and cause this much damage.  If you had read my complaint, you would have been able to see this.  Assuming by your response that you probably did not, I will state my case again.  The leaks started this year.  It was not an issue in previous years and is more than condensation.  I can deal with condensation, but puddles of water coming from the windows and damaging my woodwork and shutters, I cannot.  If the shutters were the issue, one would think this leaking would happen every year, but it has not.  Please take responsibility for your product that damaged my property.  Its obvious that taking this all into your account the shutters are not to blame.  Attached are pictures of the damage that all happened this year.  Thank you for your consideration. 

  Sincerely,

  Original window and patio instal 08/07/2024. Techs have been out 3 times since to fix our door and windows. This last time they were here at least 5 hours and weve already had 3 window frames replaced. All of our windows still allow huge drafts, terrible condensation issues and very unhappy customers. We have ice forming on our wood trim and all over the door. Three windows that were already replaced were done so because they would not lock shut causing both huge security concerns as well as energy loss and loss of tropical fish. This company has not offered anything, not even an apology (way to late now) other than to again say we will send someone out. We have photos of our interior trim that is frosted/ frozen over, and the trim is all wet to touch so now we will have to worry about mold and mildew forming. To be told condensation is normal or that a drafty window and door is a normal amount is not comforting when you spend this much on replacements. This is clearly a bad installation process that Window Works continues to put a bandaid on. We have seen condensation on windows prior to the winter months as well as the drafts. We have both a neighbor and family member who have gotten window and door replacements who are not having any issues and their inside humidity is more then ours. Ours is sitting between 30-35% which is half of the indoor temperature and the suggest level. The **** even states our home should range in heat from ***** degrees with relative humidity between ***** %

  An inspection was completed on 1/21/25 by the manufacturer and found the windows to be properly installed. The product is working, and the installation is correct. Customer has confirmed that they are forcing card stock between the interior and exterior of the weather stripping. This continued force could ultimately cause stress to the weather stripping. Per the initial installation, the weather stripping is spaced properly to allow the windows to glide smoothly.
  
  When we spoke to the customer, they spoke of a gap between the upper and lower locks on one upstairs window, which is a new a development by the inspector on 1/21/25. This gap could only be caused by stress from either pushing or pulling on the locks as they do not seem to be aligning. It was our recommendation for the customer to unlock the ******************** and apply some force in the middle to realign the interlocks. If the customer is unable to realign the locks, we have offered to come back out for a service.

  I am rejecting this response because: we are not forcibly doing anything nor have I ever told Window Works that we forcibly put things through the window just to make a point. In fact, the only reason why I even tried to put something through the window is because of the draft that was coming through when the temperatures were in the teens, it was unbearably cold in this house and I decided to give it a try just to see what would happen, and I was shocked to see how easily a piece of carb stock could fit into the window and out to the outside, which only means that air can come back in the exact same way with terrible drafts. As far as being 40+ years old and being told that the window dont closing correctly is user error  is moronic! unfortunately the video that I have even though its only 19 seconds long cannot be uploaded to this response, but if there was a way that you could see the videos that I have taken I think it would help. You dont spend $25,000 on new windows so they can ice up so badly that if God forbid there was an emergency, your child would not be able to get out of the window because of the ice that is building up on the inside of the home. The humidity in our home is also less than most and at the low end of what is acceptable for humidity in the winter months.

  I purchased windows that came with a lifetime warranty. The windows were installed without flashing and rotted out, and ruined an interior and exterior wall of my home. I called to get replacement windows and was told they were very sorry, but since the merger they are not responsible for any warranty work. They said I could contact the former owner, via **** mail and maybe he would cover the claim.2016 Installation. $2100.00

  

  Business Response

  Date: 01/20/2025

  On 1/17/2025 our Installation Manager spoke with the customer and advised the following: 

  The wood around windows can deteriorate over time, typically after 10 years, due to prolonged moisture exposure. This can result from poor maintenance or adverse weather conditions.

  Our warranty specifically covers defects in manufacturing or materials as outlined. However,it does not cover damage resulting from the following:
  Weather-related events, such as floods, fires, or other Acts of God
  Riots, vandalism, pollutants, or building settlement issues
  Structural failures of foundations, roofs, or walls
  Excessive temperature stress on the window surface
  Improper care or maintenance
  Any events or conditions beyond the control of Window Works
  This project was installed on 2/6/2016.

  Our measure sheet indicates that we removed and replaced rotted wood.

  We have reviewed the concerns raised in the complaint regarding warranty coverage for the windows installed in 2016.

  The contract associated with this installation predates our acquisition of the company. As a result,the warranty coverage and any associated responsibilities remain with the original company owner.

  
  The customer has been provided with the necessary contact information for the former owner, who may be able to address their request.Additionally, the work requested would not have been covered under the terms of the original warranty.

  The customer has since purchased and installed new windows.

  January 29, 2024 Window Works was contacted in regard to a warranty issue from windows that have been installed through ******* Windows. I received many text messages from Window Works with updates on getting a date scheduled for repair. September 18, 2024 still no work has been done. Window Works reason is due to the 5-hour distance from their location to my location, a date cannot be scheduled. Why did Window Works take over ******* Windows if you are unable to service this area? Why can't the repair be done within a reasonable amount of time? Why can't they call another window company within my area to help them with ******* Windows warranties? Overall bad feeling about having to work with Window Works if I major issue occurs needing immediate action. I hope their service area isn't dealing with these concerns.

  I had 10 windows installed in my house April 22, 2011, by ******* Bros. Cost $11,500.00I was told I have a lifetime warranty as long as I live in my house. ******* Bros. sold out to someone else and now they will not fix or replace my windows. Warranty papers are included. They told me they will not fix or replace any window installed before 2021.

  The consumer's contract is through ******* Brothers.When we purchased ******* Brothers we did not assume warranties. The date of acquisition was 6/1/2021. There was an aggregate limit for service and warranty work for pre-acquisition customers and this amount has been met.
