Window Replacement
I used Verdun mainly because friends had positive experiences with them. I have been disappointed at every stage.
Sales:
I received a quote 3-4 weeks prior to the green-on program being announced. Once it was announced, I followed up with the salesman saying that I wanted to move forward. He informed me that he had to remeasure. This 'remeasure' resulted in an increased price of over 1000. Meanwhile, when the installer came for final measure, he said that the sales person's remeasure was wrong and should not have affected the cost
Install: I don't believe this to be the fault of the installers, but more that Verdun is overbooking their projects. They had only two days for our project and probably needed more. The issues:
- Insulation foam sprayed all over child's room
- Insulation foam stuck all over window sill
- The size of the trim that our saleperson assured us they would have, was not actually available. This means that we need to do a ton of extra painting and mudding.
- One of the installers who was trying to mud around the trim, informed me that he had never applied mud before
- While installing trim they put a finishing nail through the side of the window frame.
- We were sent windows that did not have the correct size window trellis from our quote. This affect 6 windows in 2 openings.
- 3 windows have flashing that are were not installed correctly, so water sits on the frame instead of draining out.
- 2 windows have marks between the panes, almost like a hand print.
After Install:
I informed them of the issues soon after install. It took about 4 weeks to get new windows for the incorrect trellis. But unfortunately, one of the windows they sent was broken, and another was broken during install. I am still waiting for new windows over 4 weeks later.
Since the green-on program has been stopped, I am no doubt at the bottom of their list, since they need to rush out as many orders as possible by the new program end date of October 31.
update: I just now received a call to book an appt to replace the windows.
