    I am rejecting this response because:I am not agree with business reply. Because he asked me to pick a color for the storm door and they either ordered incorrect or received wrong product. It's not customer's fault. Please see the attached email. 

    Please let me know if you have any questions

    Sincerely,

    The exterior door that was installed by this company has experienced issues with color fainting and issue with the closing mechanism in which it does not close securely. I have contacted ***** and his team and was promised a replacement since March 2022. He does not respond neither his team

    Midwest Windows order a replacement door for this customer, once we arrived the customer did not accept the door because he stated it did not match the side panel that was installed years ago. Midwest does not make entry doors and its a warranty to claim to the manufacture. The manufacture denied the warranty claim and Midwest agreed to order a new side panel for **** from the supplier and we would eat the cost. We place the order back in August and once the side panel comes into the warehouse we will install the side panel. ************ was explained on September 19 that the door was on order and once it comes into the warehouse we would schedule ************. We have no other resolve but to wait for the order to come into the warehouse.

    I am rejecting this response because: the issue is with the whole door and not just one panel. Yes, ***** has ordered one part that when his team tried to install was completely of different color than existing door, and did not match the other existing panel that they tried to keep. See attached picture. They left the door in my garage and told me a new panel will be ordered. I have been following with ***** and his team since and they keep giving excuses for delivery and now they don't respond to my emails, phone calls, or voice mails. I even had asked for a technician from his team to come and service the current door since it is not secure and they have not responded. They don't respond to my issue. I have tried solving this in a friendly way with this business and they are not helping 

    Sincerely,

    I am rejecting this response because: Midwest team have given me installation dates that keep changing and now they don't want even to provide a date. I have issue with the door they installed and I need them to provide an installation date. You can see their customer service style and how they don't commit to resolve issues. I have been waiting for this installation since March.

    Sincerely,
