  We had all new impact windows and two new sliding doors installed in July of 2022. One window frame was cracked and both sliding glass doors have molding that was either defective or damaged from the installation. I have contacted the installer (Quality Doors and Window) and repeatedly sent emails to PGT. Quality Doors just puts it back on PGT to fix. PGT has opened ********* number since July and has not acted an any of them. Every time I contact PGT, I get is a form email from their Consumer Affairs assigning another new case number. This is absurd for any company to ignore factory defects and not respond going on 8 months.

  On 01/17/2023 PGT wrote that the case has been resolved. But it was the opposite. PGT did not even try to help solve the problem. We have 2 PGT windows which cannot be opened as the balancers or something is missing or defect.PGT wrote that nobody is serving the ****** area and we cannot get any help. My only choice is buy new windows for $ *****. In order to solve the problem we ordered all available balancers as PGT did not write on the window which balancers are needed. The window has only 3 letters PGT- nothing else on it . It is the same on the invoice, no type of window on the invoice. They clearly tell us that absolutely nobody in ****** area/ ******* will repair the windows. But they sell the windows in ******. We need the parts what they call balancers and if there are several we order them all and try to repair. Better than pay $ ***** for the new 2 windows. But PGT is denying to sell us the balancers needed for repair and just shut us down by writing " resolved".

  PGT Consumer Affairs representatives communicated with homeowner multiple times requesting documentation so that the order could be verified and parts ordered by service technician, homeowner has not provided requested information. PGT has been able to work with a service dealer that will order and replace the necessary parts per warranty for homeowner. Per the warranty, PGT will provide parts at no cost however homeowner is responsible for dealer fees as these are not a component of the product, homeowner is aware of this.

  Homeowner was informed via phone call, 3/16/2023, that service dealer would contact her and make arrangements for repairs which was agreed to. Homeowner was also provided dealer name and contact phone number should there be questions.

  I am rejecting this response because: Someone called me ***** and gave me a name of an outside company like Pana...... who would call me and repair the windows. I did not get the phone number and could not find it. The company has not called me till today. PGT told me they have the part number in their files. As far as they claim I would not have provided the part number in the past this is wrong. The customer does not know the part number of tiny parts on the side of a window as this is covered by the frame. This part number was not on the invoice and the number was not on the window. But PGT always had the number even when they refused to repair my windows and get out of the warranty time. I found the same case on this page,  I am not the only customer with this problem.

  So far my windows are not repaired and I did not get the part number as he said he gave it to an outside company.

  It is 9 days after the call of PGT now. I got no call from the outside company he talked about. Hope the repair will be done soon.

  Homeowner was provided with the name and phone number for a service dealer that was willing to perform the service work. Homeowner was notified that per their warranty, PGT would provide the parts necessary to complete the service how they would be responsible for any dealer fees such as labor, trip charge etc., as homeowner stated previously they did not want to pay these fees. The homeowner had the same parts ordered in July of 2018 however they did not provide this information nor did they recall this parts order which they did not disclose to PGT. 

  PGT has contacted the service dealer for homeowner on 3/31/2023 and requested that they schedule appointment with homeowner.

  Good afternoon, 
  The service dealer contact information is as follows:
  
       * ********* IMPACT WINDOWS & DOORS: ************
       * GLASS SERVICE UNLIMITED: ************
  
  As homeowners cannot process parts request from PGT, they are provided their PGT sales order information, attached SO #*******, which they in turn provide to the service dealer to order parts.
  The service dealer is required to inspect the product to verify parts however to do so, they charge homeowners fees, such as trip charge, labor, etc. Homeowner has stated previously that they do not want to pay these fees.
  
  We have provided all the necessary information that the homeowner needs to contact the service dealer and request a service from either of the two (2) provided at their leisure. 
  
  When responding to this email select "reply" if you have additional questions or require further information. This will allow all information to be included in your case and ensures your request is completed in a timely manner.

  We purchased PGT windows, a custom bifold window and sliders from Window Depot in May of 2022 for our home renovation. In July of 2022, we received windows and sliders, with the exception of one slider that was ordered 3 times because each time it was the wrong size. We had our contractor install all but the one, leaving our house unsecured and exposed to the elements until Oct. 2022. The following problems still stand uncorrected. 1) The risers in two windows do not function properly. The parts provided are not the correct ones according to a Window Depot technician sent out to correct some of the issues. 2) One of the windows in the garage has a crack in it. We received a replacement window, but the Window Depot technician did not know how to install it. 3) The brackets for all four of our fixed glass windows were never received. 4) The caps and brackets for 2 garage and 2 bedroom windows were not received. 5) One gasket for the bifold window is missing. 6) Brackets for the sliding windows in two rooms were never received. 7) Tracks for the screens on sliders in kitchen were never received. We sent correspondence to the following individuals in an attempt to resolve the issues. PGT representatives: ********************* (Consumer Affairs), *******************************, ***************************** and ***********************. Window Depot representatives: *********************, *******************************, ******************************* and *******************************. PGT and Window Depot both sent representatives and or technicians to help resolve some of the issues, but neither party had answers or was able to correct the problems with our windows and doors. In our 60 page correspondence it appears that PGT and Window Depot point fingers at each other for the issues; maybe it's just the old idiom "The left hand doesn't know what the right hand is doing" or worse, once you have our money your service ends. At this point, we just want the parts and products required to complete our windows and doors; we'll do the rest.

  i had a contractor install 2 windows in 2019. One of them had a problem, it won't stay open. The manufacturer came out, said the contractor needed a part, and left. The contractor said they ordered the part but it never came and the contractor abandoned the job. At that point, I contacted PGT and they ignored me. I spent months leaving messages and finally I left a BBB complaint and they responded to that. They sent someone out, but he said a different part was needed (a balance) and that he would have ******* in their corporate office order it and then he would come install it. He thought that would take 1-2 months. It's been 4, and they aren't returning my calls again! I need someone to fix this window or just install a new one. I can't keep dealing with this run around! I have attached the window stickers with the order information.

  We purchased a home in ********** and our hurricane sliders damaged in first year. They are still under warranty. I contacted distributer, Commerce Glass of **********, and installer, **** of **********. They came out, took pictures, evaluated windows and agreed they are damaged and still under warranty. It has been one year of emails and promises and doors have not been fixed. I have email chain of promises. I am afraid now, with hurricane season, that they doors are compromised and won't hold out if we are hit with hurricane. We are ocean front.

  Back in May 1, 2018 I signed a contract with ****** to replace existing ********************************************* to Dual pan Impact windows Vinyl ************** door of CGI brand manufactured by PGT ********************************************* at a contract amount of $17,166.00, which were delivered and installed by their certified installer in August 2018.Few months after installation I noticed some of windows were tight to open and was told by Lowes that since they were new so it is natural for sometime. But sometime around 2020 one of window out of 3 in a row in Living Room failed to open, followed by 2nd & 3rd in same row in next couple months. I called ****** customer service who informed me that since there warranty was for a year I will have to contact PGT direct which I did and PGT customer service emailed me names of 3 window service providers and was told that upon their determination replacement parts would be under warranty but I am liable to pay for repair charges and when I contacted them even recently it will cost me $200-300 per window to examine & replace window spring & plastic retaining clip that cost only about $20 a piece. so I decided to wait until Pandemic time was over before letting anyone enter my home.Now, yesterday when I was cleaning my master bath window ************ I had to open window but suddenly it dropped down and I almost cut my hand.. At this point I am frustrated since I know what their answer will be as PGT is not willing to responsibility to repair or replace my windows that keep failing to open due to some cheap plastic spring retaining clips worth $3 - $5 which with time gets brittle and snaps it, whereas I had paid about $1400 per window with low grade inexpensive parts.. Not sure if is it just my batch or all vinyl manufactured windows with no remorse or Liability on part of CGI/ PGT.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  I am surprised to note that as of yesterday you BBB have closed this complaint as resolved?? Which is incorrect.

  If you notice my communication with PGT/CGI I had mentioned that no one had tried to reach me to schedule a visit and correct problem even after empty promise by them including on 10/18 in their reply that they trying their best to resolve but nothing has happened so far it is just empty promises with no positive result or commitment.

   

  I understand BBB supports suppliers & businesses but this is unfair on your part since I as a consumer made a huge home improvement investment but was supplied below grade level product. Also I learned from Lowes installers who had installed windows at my home that Lowes stopped selling these windows due to too many manufacturing complaints, which should be taken seriously.

   

  Therefore, this case should be re-opened and hold PGT/CGT accountable for supplying inferior products.

  We purchased a home in DellWebb in **************. The home is six years old and when we went to have the windows cleaned we were informed by the cleaner that the seals in the sliding glass door are not good. I called the company and they will only honor the first owner and no subsequent owners. I find it hard to believe that only the first owner would be covered. How much harm do they think could be done to windows within the six year timeframe. I would like this addressed. They told me that I would have to have all the windows replaced that the seals are broken.

  Filed a warranty claim with PGT Industries reference the seals on several windows in my home leaking, causing a white fog type film to appear inside the double panes of glass. Claim was accepted, I was referred to Douglas Glass in Pinnellas County to have the repairs. Douglas Glass advised they do not do work in Hillsborough County. PGT then told me Douglas Glass was the
  only servicing dealer they have in my area and to find an independent glass company to do the work. After the independent contractor determines what is needed to do the repairs he is to contact an authorized PGT dealer to order the parts. Labor would be my responsibility. I had previously contacted two authorized PGT window company's in Hillsborough County, Southeast Windows and Glass and Carrollwood Windows and Doors, both said they would not do warranty work for PGT industries.
  
  PGT runs ads for their windows daily on TV. I seriously doubt that their sales people are telling prospective customers in Hillsborough County that they do not have anyone in the County that will do warranty work.

  I Initiated a warranty claim with PGT windows on 06/02/22. Claim was accepted within a couple of weeks. After more than three months of being referred to different glass companies, by PGT, that refused to do the warranty work, I was referred to ****************** Glass Door Repair LLC ********, **. ************ for the repairs. I paid a deposit to ****'s Glass, $811.00, on Oct. 11, 2022 which was 50% of the labor costs for the repairs, as only parts are covered by the warranty. I have contacted ****'s Glass several times and have been given various dates when the glass should arrive to them from PGT. On Oct 6, 2023 I contacted ****'s Glass and was told the glass had still not been delivered to them by PGT Windows.

  Good afternoon,

  PGT contacted ****'s Sliding Glass Door Repair regarding their service with h/o. Per this conversation, the issue is not related to PGT, the service dealer has placed an order for the necessary parts required and should be contacting the h/o directly. 

  Should the h/o have questions, they will need to speak with ****'s Sliding Glass Door Repairs' for an update on when to expect ordered parts and any further service date information.

  I am rejecting this response because: PGT is responsible for providing the glass for the repair.  ****'s Sliding Glass Door is providing the labor to replace the glass once they receive it from PGT.  I was contacted  by ****'s, a few days after I filed this complaint with the BBB and was told they would be installing the glass on Sept. 8th.  It remains to be seen if that actually occurs.

  Complaint: 17878136
  
  I am rejecting this response because:

  The installer arrived on 09/08/23 to install the windows provided by PGT.  Several of the defective windows were replaced.  The panes that PGT sent for the three windows in the front of my house were the wrong size.  This is the second time PGT has sent the wrong sized panes. The first time all but one of the panes was the wrong size.   According to the installer PGT sent the exact same sized window panes for the three front windows as the last time.  PGT was the original manufacturer of the windows and sent me the original invoice with the window sizes on it immediately after I began the warranty process.   This is clearly complete incompetence on their part.  It has taken them over six months each time to provide the window panes which is totally unacceptable.  I am once again in limbo as to whether or not my warranty issue will be resolved.

  PGT blamed the installer when you contacted them last.  This entire warranty farce that has been ongoing for over a year is PGT's responsibility.

  Replacement parts were ordered and delivered to servicing dealer, ****'s Sliding Glass Door Repair on 11/3/2023. Homeowner will need to follow up with service dealer for appointment if they have not already done so.

  Good afternoon. I spoke to the service dealer for the homeowner who states that they were on site yesterday, 12/14/2023 with homeowner to take exact measurement as well as create glass templates to correct the size order issues. These units are what are referred to as "Architectura's" and at times due to system reorders, templates are required to provide the correct size glass.

  According to service dealer there should be no issues moving forward.

  Once the information is provided to PGT, they in turn will provide the service dealer with an ETA for parts to arrive at their warehouse to complete the service.

  I am rejecting this response because:  They have provided the incorrect size glass three times despite the fact that they were the original manufacturers of the windows and had the original order form with the exact sizes of the windows.  This is entirely the fault of PGT windows not the installer.  I have been dealing with PGT since 06/01/2022 and still do not have this warranty claim resolved.  Based on how incompetent PGT has been throughout this process I have no reason to believe that the next set of window glass they send will fit.

  At this time there are no other "options" to provide homeowner. The service dealer as stated previously has taken exact measurements from the job as well as created templates withy which the glass will be manufactured.

  This order has been flagged to be inspected by the Quality Control leadership team for final approval prior to shipping to dealer.

  I am rejecting this response because: I cannot accept their response until the work is satisfactorally completed. Ive been dealing with PGT for approx 18 months trying to resolve this warranty issue. Totally unacceptable.

  As the homeowner cannot accept the response until the work is completed, PGT cannot provide any additional information as at this point it would be redundant. The product is scheduled to ship to the dealer on 2/9/2024. Once the dealer receives the product, they will contact the homeowner to schedule service

  I am rejecting this response because: Considering that this process was started over 20 months ago I would be nothing short of foolish to assume PGT is actually going to resolve this issue satisfactorily. 
  

  if they in fact ever do I will accept their apology.

  The delivery date would have been Friday, afternoon Im sure. Generally it takes a day or two for the dealers to check in all products as they receive multiple orders. Spoke to the dealer, they stated that they received the product Friday and as they are closed on the weekend, they will contact him today to schedule.
