    On September 6th, 2022 we had 2 windows and a patio door installed. On the day of the installation, the installer encountered a problem with the patio door. The outside panel of the door was bowed out and so it wouldn't close properly, and our screen door was damaged. He put these things in his notes at the end and gave us the impression that both would be replaced. A couple days later, their follow up people called us and said that the screen door would be replaced, it would take about 8 weeks, but the other door wouldn't because it was within their tolerances. They said it might take a couple weeks for it to "settle" with the house and then it should be fine. We waited 3 weeks and 2 days, and nothing has changed. The door still doesn't close in the manner it should. We have to do this work around where you push in a certain spot on the back part to get it to close all the way. So I called again, and they told me they would send out a tech to adjust it, but the soonest they can get someone here is two and a half weeks out. So this is very frustrating to me. We bought a brand new door, that doesn't close properly! We have an elderly parent that lives with us, that lets his dog out this door several times throughout the day and he is not able to close it. Which means that the door sits open until we come home to close it. It will be one day short of 6 weeks, before they plan to come out and "adjust it". I don't think it's too much to expect them to come out and make the adjustment sooner than that so we can close our door because I'm not confident that will work. So if they have to replace it, it would be another "8 weeks" for that. With the weather getting colder we cannot afford for our door not to be closed.

    I entered an agreement one year ago for ********************** replacement in ******** ( Milwaukee suburb) to replace windows, install a bay window, and replace a sliding door. They showed up 3 months ago to start the job. 2 of their employees spent 2 days on the job and did a terrible job. The windows were not fit properly as the entire window could be moved from side to side in the frame. Caulk was slobbered over the entire windows inside and out. They set up shop in ********** blowing dust and sawdust over everything; and failed to clean it up. We have repeatedly asked them to fix the mess and their response has been very poor. They won't answer phone calls to inform us as to what they intend to do. They say they will come out the next day; and they don't show up. I would be ashamed to be running a company like that.

    We have not heard from ******** Window Renewal and they have not finished the job. They last sent a worker here 3 weeks ago. They started the job 4 months ago. Needless to say that we are not at all satisfied with their effort.
