      I purchased a "whole house" with new replacement windows from Weatherseal in 2014 for my rental property located at *** ****** ******* *****, ** *****. They removed the old windows and installed the new windows which was a total of 16 windows for $7,00.00. Upon the completion of the contract, I was given a warranty. Everything has been fine until last year when the tenant (from 2015-2021) moved out and I discovered one window was broken along with several screens in other windows were torn. I've called several times to have the broken window replaced and the screens. First I was told the screens weren't covered under the warranty, then I was told the windows they installed were no longer manufactured and were they no longer in stock. They dispatched a technician who came out to check the window and he determined it was "broken." I was advised by him to call the office and they would send out a salesman to get a new replacement. Next, when I called to follow up on when were they sending out a salesman then I was told that I needed to find the serial number on the broken window and they would send it to the manufacturer to have it replaced. I called today to tell them I couldn't find a serial number on any of the windows they installed. After speaking with them today feel like they're giving me the run-around because they don't want to honor the warranty for the windows I purchased. To add insult to injury now they want to charge me a service charge to have another technician come out to check the broken window because the first technician that came no longer works there and he didn't specify/clarify what he meant by "the window was broken." I simply want the window replaced for which I have a lifetime warranty.

      JOB ADDRESS:  ***
      ******, *****, ** ***** (RENTAL PROPERTY)

      REVIEWED RECORDED PHONE CALLS WITH OFFICE/******** SUMMARIZED BELOW:

      3/16/22- Customer called because a window was broken by
      someone throwing a rock through it & 2 screens fell out of the window but
      didn’t know why because she wasn’t out of the house, it’s a rental property.  She was informed at that time the warranty does
      not cover the glass replacement because it wasn’t a manufacture defect.


      4/27/22 *** called & talked to ******** & let her
      know that the window is not under warranty because the window frame is broken
      & screen frames bent, not manufacturer defect.  Asked her to send pictures of SN so we can
      get her price to replace it.


      12/12/22- ******** called & said
      **** came out (we don’t have, nor have we had any employee named ****) &
      told her that her window was broken & that he was going to order a new
      one.  Said she was told by phone that the
      window was out of stock but would have to be ordered.  I reviewed the file & found that **** completed an inspection and note states a new window
      is needed.  I TOLD HER THAT HER WINDOWS
      WERE OUT OF WARRANTY (5 YR) EXCEPT FOR SEAL FAILURES & SHE SAID SHE HAD
      WARRANTY IN FRONT OF HER.
      I DID SCHEDULE ANOTHER SERVICE
      INSPECTION 12/22/22 @ 9-10AM ARRIVAL TIME ALTHOUGH PREVIOUS CALL ON 4/27 SHE
      WAS TOLD TO SEND PICTURES & SN SO WE COULD GET HER A PRICE TO REPLACE
      BECAUSE IT’S NOT A WARRANTY ISSUE.

      Unfortunately, the homeowner purchased windows that have a 5-year
      warranty with a lifetime seal failure warranty & the services required are
      not a seal failure, so the window is out of warranty.

       I am rejecting this response because: 1) The call made in March was about the broken window in the Kitchen window, and I filed a police report for that incident. These are two different windows Weathseal is referencing. 2) After I was advised regarding the torn screens weren't covered I had them repaired by a third party.  3) This compaint is for the window that's boken in the 2nd Bedroom facing the front of the house that I want replaced.

      Business provided pictures showing that the sash window that ******** ****** is complaining about was damaged by her TENANT and is NOT WARRANTY.  The business provided the consumer an estimate to pay for a new window sash.

       I am rejecting this response because: Not because the
      window was damaged by the tenant, that's already been stipulated as fact.


       I'm rejecting the
      response because I was never provided an estimates of the cost of the repairs for
      the window as indicated in their response.  Since I never received an
      estimate I would gladly appreciate it if I could received one if they have it
      as they claimed.


      When the Technician came out in December I was very thankful
      for the inspection, the Technician was  very professional, polite and courteous.


      After the inspection I was advised a Sales Person would
      contact me regarding getting the window replaced.  I've been waiting for
      someone to contact me since December but unfortunately I haven't  received
      a call yet. 


      The fact is the window is broken and needs replaced regardless
      if it's under warranty on not. If they would please provide me with the
      measurements of a new replacement window in the estimated and the cost to replace
      it would I would be happy to set up an appointment to have it replaced.


      Sincerely,

      Ms. ****** was provided an estimate via email and a phone message left on 2/10/23 AT 3:09PM to replace the damaged sash by her TENANT and is NOT WARRANTY. 

      We will be emailing Ms. ****** a new estimate with a price to replace the entire unit with a new unit, in addition to the price the window will require to be capped again. 

      Thank you,
