  We were using a company year ago called skytech, and they were doing the virtual inspections for us, and they notified us that Mrs. **** permit was closed but looks like it wasn't for some reason so right now we are working to extend the permit and have it re inspect it and close it out.

  *************** send a couple of guys to look at our window July 18 2024.I have called him several times about our window. We haven't heard from *************** or the other gentleman. It seems like they don't care about unhappy customers.

  Hello, 

  I wanted to follow up regarding the recent communication with *****************. I have informed her that she has a 30-day window to raise any concerns about the installation. As per our policy, complaints regarding the product ordered cannot be accepted after four years.
  To support this, I have attached the contract that ***************** signed at the time of installation, which clearly outlines the specifications of the two windows she received. Additionally, given the size of her project, I believe it is unlikely that any details were overlooked during the installation process.

  
  Please let me know if you need any further information or assistance regarding this matter.

  Our operations team made in error in the type of permit applied for to complete this project. The error not only has caused a delay in the delivery of the finished project but also has created a customer experience that is not acceptable to our Company.

  We realize the frustration in this case and are working daily to correct the issue as soon as possible. The type of permit that is required for this project takes longer to be approved than a standard size for size window and door permit. We continue to work with the building department to address their comments and get the permit issued and work completed as quickly as possible.

  The customer has been provided with the permit number under review and the engineering documents submitted with the application. We continue to work towards the shared goal of closing this project out as contracted.

  I am rejecting this response because:

  The permitting issue has been ongoing for 8 weeks. My husband and I went to the permitting office and they explained the company had not provided the appropriate documentation needed to pass the revised permit through. After leaving that permit unresolved for two weeks ************** closed the attempt for permit revision. As far as we are aware the company has no outstanding attempt to resolve the permitting issue, nor did they provide this update to us.

  As a result of their negligence and prolonged attempt at resolution we are pursuing alternative methods of resolution. The work they completed on our home leaks, has voids, is cracking at installation joins and is generally unsafe. We have provided the company our financial position outlining a dispute for services they have not rendered as our opinion after this prolonged period of unresolved issues we perceive them to be in breach of contract.

  With small children in our home we are pursuing expedient resolution, the company has demonstrated an inability to complete and resolve the issue they have created in our home. Their communication has been lackluster, inconsistent and dishonest; our sole intent is to return our home to a safe condition to for our family (this has been our priority and the company has been disrespectful and not urgent in their resolution). 
  

  Their lack of urgency is additionally demonstrated in taking nearly 1 month to respond to this complaint and taking two weeks to file the revised permit only for it to be cancelled 12 days ago to which they have provided us no communication.

  Sincerely,

  I contacted Mr. ********************** in Palmetto in Sept, 2023 to have our windows and doors replaced with impact windows and doors. ***************** came out and we discussed our window and door needs in detail. We were to have all impact doors and windows with the back door to have a window that opened with a screen like the one we were having replaced. I placed a $6000. deposit at the beginning of Oct. When they came out in Dec. They were about to install a door with no window that opened and no screen. I told them it was supposed to be with a window and screen and to put my previous door back up. I was told it was an easy fix for them to come back and replace the window. I spoke with **** again and he said he would order the correct one. We paid another $6000. leaving a 10% balance to be pain when the work was completed. I never did hear back from them and still have the wrong door up.

  Our team uses a Final Scope of Work document which clearly outlines the products being ordered for each project. The purpose of this document is to picture and describe in detail what exactly is being ordered to avoid any disconnect in expectations at installation. For this project, the customer approved a half lite door which is pictured in the attached Final Scope of Work signed by the customer. This is the door that was ordered and installed. 

  The customers sales representative did have a conversation about the door with the customer after the installation. It was explained that we installed the correct door per the Final Scope of Work. Further, we could offer to change the glass insert in the door to the preferred style in this type of scenario, at our cost, but there is not an operating window door insert available in impact (hurricane-rated).

  We are unable to deliver the solution requested by the customer because it is not available for purchase. Additionally, we have now completed the installation of all of the products per our Final Scope of Work and have not been paid the balance of the contract amount for our services.

  I am rejecting this response because: I discussed in detail with **** my need for a window with screen in back door. The page they sent does not show my signature or initials for the door they sent in response. When they started to install the wrong door, I stopped them immediately and asked for my old door to be put back up since it was the wrong door they were installing. This was within minutes of my old door being taken down and I was told they no longer had my old door and that it would be an easy fix to take out the window and install the proper window with screen that I had discussed with **** prior to my making a payment. I was then told by **** they would order the correct door with window and screen and contact me once they received it. Instead of being contacted as promised with the proper door, I received a letter from an attorney. I don't how this place stays in business with all the scams against disabled seniors. They are very dishonest and scammers.

  I am rejecting this response because:

   

  Client ********** rejects Mr **********************'s settlement agreement based on Point 4, detailed below, the outrageously unfair removal of any installation warranty on a $114,000 window and door order/full payment.  That removal creates an incredibly lopsided agreement in Mr **********************'s favor and destroys the notion of a fair and honest settlement.
  It is unfortunate that Mr ********************** cannot compromise on a roughly $3,000 issue with a quid-pro-quo agreement.  Mr **********************'s notion to absolve itself from installation liability on glass windows and doors that can cause major bodily harm or structural damage is the furthest from a fair compromise as possible.
  
  
  4. The Parties hereby agree that Mr. ********************** shall have no liability or obligation whatsoever with respect to Contract or any of the work performed under the Contract, including, without limitation, any liability or obligation relating to warranties or repairs as a result of defective materials, products or workmanship. Parties acknowledge that the manufacturers warranty shall remain in full effect. Should the need to submit a claim under the manufacturers warranty arise, Mr. ********************** agrees to provide information to ************************ as needed to submit a warranty claim directly to PGT or through another PGT dealer.
  
  5. The Parties expressly agree and acknowledge that this Settlement Agreement represents the final set

  Mister Window follows a detailed process with every project to ensure that the customer understands the options available for each window and door and that the order matches the options chosen by the customer. The document that outlines these details is called the Final Scope of Work. It is reviewed with the customer during the field measure and signed by the customer prior to ordering any ********************* or doors. 
  
  The email that has been provided by the customer in this case was sent on 9/16/2022 to their sales representative. The response to the email was that black handles are available and there would be no additional charge for black finish as opposed to white. Our field measure was conducted on 10/13/2022, at which time the Final Scope of Work was reviewed with the customer, including notes on the handle type and finish color contemporary handles in white finish to match white sliding glass doors (see attached PDF). 
  
  Per the Final Scope of Work, the sliding glass doors for this project were ordered with contemporary white handles. When the customer indicated, during the installation, that they prefer a black finish for the handles, we offered to order the handles at our cost and install free of charge. The customer declined this offer. 
  
  We reached out to the customer directly following the filing of their BBB complaint to understand what outstanding items remained to reach the desired resolution of complaint - finishing the project. The customer indicated that replacing the white sliding glass door handles with black handles was the only remaining item to be addressed. 
  
  Mister Window offered to enter into a settlement agreement with the customer to reach the desired outcome. As part of this agreement, we would pay for the black handles and installation of the handles. The customer would agree to give up their ********************** installation warranty. In this situation, we are being asked to accept less than the full amount for our products and services. We believe it is fair to ask that the customer give up something as well. The customer declined this offer. 
  
  We are sorry to hear that the customers experience overall has been poor. Our team is always working to improve, so we appreciate feedback that we can use to do so. In response to the customers other points in the complaint: 
  
  Mr Window falsely communicated product delivery date of 11/1 (note that most products delivered 2/17 and some are still outstanding with no scheduled delivery)
  
  Estimated lead times were communicated to the customer upon signature of the contract on 8/19/2022. We received a deposit on 9/19/2022 and performed the field measure on 10/13/2022. With 13-week lead times at the time of the field measure, the customer was informed that the installation would likely take place mid to late January. The customer considered cancelling the project at that time due to the estimated delivery date but chose to continue with the project. 
  
  Mr Window falsely communicated financing (promised 100%, received 0%) 
  
  Mister Window uses a third-party financing company to offer financing plans to our customers. The process used to evaluate customer credit and issue new loans is outside of our control. To assist the customer in this case, we offered to finance the project in-house, which they selected to do. 
  
  Mr Window unlocked then entered a locked room without authorization resulting in major issues for client, including but not limited to identity theft and bank fraud
  
  The customer was not present at the first day of installation. Mister Window was not informed of any rooms that should be avoided during the installation. In this case, we had a window that was contracted to be installed in the room that was locked. The window was removed from the outside before the install team discovered that the door was locked. We entered the room to install the window and get the customers house secure for the night. 
  
  We regret that the customer has been the victim of identity theft. However, there is no indication that this was related to the activities of our installation team. The most consistent feedback we get from customers is related to the professionalism of and respect shown by our install teams in the customers home. 
  
  Mr Window accused client of breaking locks 
  
  The customer has ******************** operating control devices (****) installed, per Florida Building Code, on several windows on the second floor. Attempting to fully open the window, without first disengaging the ***** can lead to these ****s breaking. This sounds like a failure of the team to properly walk through the **** operation with the customer. ****s that were damaged have been replaced free of charge. 
  
  Mr Window installation hastily and unthoroughly done; client had to call and email to have crews come back two more times to accurately complete work
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. 
  
  crews did not clean up after installation; the egregious amount of dust left behind has caused our family to experience strong side effects similar to pollen allergies
  
  Window and door installation can create a significant amount of dust. Particularly when cutting out nail fin windows, which there were several on this project. While our team takes measures to reduce the amount of dust which enters the home and cover areas where it will collect, dust will ultimately make its way into the home during the installation process. 
  
  rooms left in state of disarray (children's bedrooms, bathrooms, office) 
  
  Customers are asked to remove blinds and clear a path to the openings for access during installation. Our installation teams can assist with this as a courtesy, but will only move furniture, blinds and other items which may limit our access, as was done in this case. 
  
  multiple poorly installed window and slider door locks 
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. 
  
  window frames dented 
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. 
  
  several screens were not installed 
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. All screens have been installed. 
  
  interior materials for windows left outside and strewn about our home
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. All materials have been installed. 
  
  curtain rod hardware materials missing 
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. 
  
  one damaged screen 
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color. All screens have been repaired.  
  
  $2200 of stucco damage caused to exterior of house (client has quote to repair) 
  
  Customer is referring to $2,200 in painting that needed performed where our teams cut out existing windows and repaired the stucco. As outlined in our Final Scope of Work, we will complete all stucco repair. The customer is responsible for touch up paint where applicable. The areas where stucco repair and painting would need to occur were also reviewed with the customer during the field measure. 
  
  As of 3/28/23, some windows are still not properly and finally installed as they are missing pieces to complete installation
  
  As of our latest contact with the customer, no items remain to be addressed other than the discrepancy related to handle color.

  *********************************

   

  Mr. Window provided an admission of guilt for many of the issues that the Client (****** and *******************************) experienced during the project. However,Mr. Window did not provide a resolution.
  
  Under ******* Law, electronic communication of agreements on a service is considered a Contract for Services Due.  The Clients email communication with *******************, VP of Sales at Mr. *********************** dated 09/16/2022,shows a clear agreement for products and services, along with ************** name,title, and company information.  The email exchange is thus a contract that precedes the more formal version sent months later. 
  The email exchange with ************** shows that the Clients preferred handle color and style would be provided at no charge to the $114,000 window and door package. 
  See below email proof examples A and B (previously provided in original complaint).  
  Therefore, the Client stands by their original request to have the mutually agreed-upon contract fulfilled and the black handles be purchased and installed at no charge.
  
  Mr. Window did not act in good faith negotiation with Client.  Trading installation liability and warranty for door handles is egregious. 
  Client has a set of sliders that are already falling out of the frame and a set of doors that is not functioning properly, so Mr. *********************** attempt to abdicate responsibility and warranty raises questions about their abilities and ethics. 
  Mr. Window also threatened the Client two times with potential liens on the clients home. That in no way is an example of good faith.
  
  Client therefore requests immediate action: 
  Return to install site to fix sliders falling out of the wall and French doors that do not function properly
  Fulfill the electronic contract agreed upon via email to install the correct handles
  
  
  Attachments:
  Sliders falling out of frame
  French Doors not functioning properly
  
  
  Example A: ******************* email to *********************************, dated 9/16/2022,confirming the black handles 'at no charge'

  Example B: ********************************* to ******************* indicating the desired product, dated 09/16/2022:

  Our field measure process continues to be improved each week. It's our goal to make sure that our customers understand what window and door options they have and they we order per their preference. The Final Scope of Work document was actually created to avoid this very type of scenario. Where multiple lines of communication or documents cause a difference between expectations and what is installed in the customers home. That's why our team spends so much time on a detailed Scope of Work and reviews this all in person with the customer before any order is placed. 

  The first page of the Final Scope of Work states "The Final Scope of Work amends the Agreement between the Customer and ********************** to reflect the final details of your project and any changes in price due to changes in the scope of work". While we understand that the customer at one time inquired about black handles, white handles are what was outlined in the Final Scope of Work and what was ordered and installed. When we do not deliver what is noted on the Final Scope of Work, any cost of reordering is our responsibility. When we are asked to reorder a product that is different than that agreed upon, then we ask to be compensated for that cost. That is what we have asked in this event.

  We visited the customers home last week to address one issue with a sliding glass door and french door operation issue that was referenced in the latest response. The photos provided of the sliding glass door cracked frame appear to be photos of drywall damage surrounding the sliding glass door. This was not something brought to our attention during our last visit. We will contact the customer to address this item and will continue to stand by our installation warranty.
