By that time I had 5 other windows going bad. The Windows Depot workers looked at the problem & they said the windows needed to be replaced. The employees told me they would notify the owners & have them call me back. I did not hear from them. For months now I have been calling and leaving messages, and no one will respond. Finally I got the receptionist (mother of the owners) and after telling her the problem she said she would let the owners know. Out of the blue, Benji Nicks, one of the owners, called me asking to sell me some health supplements. At that time he informed me that the company that made the windows for them has gone out of business. He told me they had been discussing my windows and since I was a good customer they would replace them for me. I did not hear from them again. I kept calling & getting the receptionist. Finally last November I called the receptionist & she told me they were not going to do anything about the problem. I have a contract from Windows Depot that warrants these windows as long as I live in the house. Now I am in a rut. If I replace any of the windows myself it will void the warranty contract. I can only get these windows through Windows Depot. They are refusing to replace the windows claiming the window supplier went out of business. My contract is with them and not with the window supplier. The signed warranties are with Windows Depot. They are responsible to honor the contract with me. Now all of my windows in the front, and most of the windows in the back have gone bad. I want to let people know to beware of this company, that they do not honor their contracts.
Description of Work: On 9/27/07 I hired Windows Depot USA to install what were supposed to be quality windows with a lifetime warranty. The warranty covers everything except acts of nature, such as hurricanes. The windows are 2-ply glass with argon gas between them. These windows are supposed to cut costs of energy use significantly (30%) and they have not. I even got a pledge that states a reimbursement of $500 or difference between preceeding year's fuel consumption and fuel consumption at time of installation, whichever is lower. I have not even tried to pursue that. I had all windows replaced: 10 total plus sliding glass door. A year later, I had Windows Depot install another window where they was none to add more light, for a total of 11 windows. Several months after initial installation I started having problems. 2 of the living room windows hazed over. It was explained to me that this happens when the argon gas leaks out. Windows Depot replaced these 2 windows. A year later while trimming grass I noticed the sliding glass door was cracking until it consumed the whole door. Windows Depot told me the sliding glass door was not covered under the warranty. I have a limited glass breakage warranty that states if glass should break or crack in purchased windows as long as you are the original owner, Windows Depot should provide a new sealed glass unit at no charge except for shipping & handling charges. I studied the contract & did not find any exemption for the sliding glass doors. Windows Depot & I argued about this for 4 months. Finally they agreed to replace the sliding glass doors at no cost. A year later the same thing happened. I called them & told them I would pay for the new doors, but it still took them 4 months to repair it.
