My windows and sliding patio door were originally installed January 2004 by ********* Windows. West Shore took over the company and the warranty. They have done other repair work on these windows. 2 parts on the side of one of my windows are broken and the window will not stay open. I called West Shore to have them repair the window. They stated I had to file a claim to ****** as West Shore does not carry the parts. I 've not had to this in the past. I did file the claim with ****** and they denied it. I contacted West Shore and was told to file the claim again. ****** denied it again stating the information they were given showed the window and parts were not Alside. I contacted West Shore yet again and they said they did not have my original invoice, therefore they did not have information about the parts. They told me to file another claim with ****** and gave me some measurements and dimensions to try. Again ****** denied the claim. I asked how this was going to be resolved and they were unsure. I asked if they were going to install a new window and was told that would not happen. Meanwhile I have a window under lifetime warranty that is still broken and no one seems to be able to repair itBusiness Response

While we understand ******************** frustration this is not a warranty issue with West Shore Home. **************** did not purchase her windows from us, nor did we install them. We have also never had a partnership with ******* as a manufacturer. Any warranty she would have on her windows would be through the manufacturer, *******. Even though she is not our customer we have genuinely tried to help **************** and we will continue to offer any assistance we can. We again apologize that ******* had decided not to honor their warranties.Customer Answer

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because: *******' Windows changed their name to West Shores Homes Since they changed their name they have honored their warranty many times. This occasion they told me they did not carry the parts for the windows anymore and I have to file a claim with the manufacturer, *******. I am now filing a complaint with Consumer ProtectionRegards,

On 10/10/23 I had a Westshore rep come to our house to discuss new doors. I agreed to have (3) doors total installed at the cost of $10K plus. After discussing recent financial issues with my significant other, I called on 10/16/23 to cancel or possibly postpone the job (since I was told the price quote was good for 1 year.) I was called back by a sales manager & told they would charge me a 35% cancellation fee because I was past the cancellation period! It's only been 6 days! I was never told about a cancellation period or fees. The company rep has the contract on his tablet & only highlights the parts they want you to focus on. I had my bathrooms done years ago & did not have an issue. Best believe they will NEVER get my business again. They practice predatory sales tactics. A cancellation fee after 6 days time is insane & unreasonable. I will be looking into the legalities of this fee.Business Response

Showed master shower to West Shore rep & wanted it duplicated in guest bath. After all West Shore installed the master bath! The shower pan is not the same in guest bath. Have talked to West Shore multiple times and last contact with them was told Id have to pay additional money for the pan I requested (which matches the master bath that I showed them). This is not a solution to installing the wrong shower pan!Business Response

My complaint is mostly based around the deceptive nature in the sales tactics used by the sales representative working my project. I had my project consultation on 7-15-23. When we were going over the cost of the project, ***** (the sales representative) gave me the impression that my project would be financed with the promotional offer: No money down, No payments, and 0% Interest for a year Yes, it is true that when we were submitting for finance options, he did state that I qualified for a different plan with lower interest. That was really the only detail he gave me. So I was under the impression that my interest rate was going to be 9% after the first year when the promotion rolled off. When we were going through the process to set up and accept the financing plan it was very rushed. He was swiping through his I-Pad very quickly having me sign and initial things. When I was getting a link sent to my phone again I was very rushed to just accept the link, initial, and sign. I took a picture of the project plan we had wrote up, and everything indicated 0% and no-payments. I had attempted to reach out several times. By phone and by email. Each time I was put on a hamster wheel unable to speak with a member of management or the finance team. I have not received responses to any of my emails. One time I was given a fake email address to forward my complaint to.I did speak to a ****** via phone -and she stated she was going to get in contact with a manager or finance person to reach out to me. Instead, I received a call back from ***** the very source of the issue. The only he would say is that he told me all the terms of the offer I qualified for. When I asked him why we would not have updated the project plan to reflect the new numbers he just repeated that he told me about the low monthly plan. Yes, although we reviewed a monthly payment amount and interest rate I was under the assumption that all that started after a year promoBusiness Response

We apologize to **************** for any confusion in his financing terms. **************** agreed to and signed for loan terms with a third-party lender. Both West Shore Home and the third-party lender have been in constant communication with **************** to explain any misunderstanding in his financing terms. **************** did not qualify for a no interest, no payment loan and that is why he agreed to the loan terms he currently has.Initial Complaint

On September 28, 2023, two employees from West Shore Homes installed an exterior door as scheduled. During the process of installing the door, there was damage to the interior wall behind the door. Apparently one of the employees opened the door too forcefully and the door knob made a hole in the drywall. They covered it with spackle and told me it would be okay. The next morning the spackle was cracked and the hole was visible. I had not used the door. I am disabled and live alone. I called the customer service line and left a message but I have not heard from them. I had suggested that they take some amount off of my bill or to send someone to come and fix the problem correctly. I am not able to fix the wall myself and I do not want to spend more money to pay someone else to fix the problem that they created. I am frustrated because I felt like they do not want to make it right. I had planned to use them again to replace another door but I will be using another company. The commercials on television say they will take care of their customers but it did not happen in my case.Business Response

We sincerely apologize to **************** for the breakdown in communication. At West Shore Home we always stand by our customers to ensure they have a great experience. We are more than happy to repair any drywall damage for ****************.Initial Complaint

9/18/23- Westshore homes came out to remodel by shower and bath. I was told by **** that they would wrap my tub. I was told by the contractor that it wasn't on this work order. Now they are saying they can't wrap the tub when the contractor that was there said that they can do it. I paid 13,800.00 for just my shower! If I was told upfront that they couldn't wrap the tub I wouldn't have when with they job. There was no breakdown of this price sent even though I requested it on several occasions and you still want me to pay the full price for half the work.Business Response

Complaint: ********
I am rejecting this response because:
I sent a text message to my Rep ****** on 10/6 regarding some issues I was noticing with the remodel. I told him that I would like someone in management to come out and see the issues I was having. I also sent pictures to him. As of 10/11 I still haven't heard from him regarding my text. I need these issues taken care of before they are back out to finish what was not done.
