Replacement Windows Discussion Board Forum

Oh my... nothing even close to that was done. These were replacement windows. So they installed all windows in a couple days. Then came back a few weeks later to rip old siding and do new siding. They ripped, then flashed around windows with bent vinyl clad aluminum...no caulking... Then applied hou...

I have to say that all this info is great and depressing at the same time. Some may say this board is BS.......but no one that answered me is expecting anything in return..so that assures me that you are all just trying to help. Thank you! If I may ask another question.. If I were to leave the wrap ...

I forgot to mention.. they used foam backing on the siding.. not the flat kind.. the kind that form fits the siding.. The cuts were not very tight as was the case with everything they did. Trying to be fair cause I gave the contractor this link. Again I will not name the company since we are still t...

The contractor said the job is done and the breeze is from a pre existing condition. All he will do is ...

So the Q2 is leftover from Kensington days??. If serious knows of the issues, why are they not fixing them before they leave factory? This goes back to the original question. ....quality control at serious windows is poor. Now as far as the Nj replacement window company that installed them... all I ...

Hello, I am a recent customer of Serious Windows. I purchased many of the Quantum 2 series recently. After the install I am sad to say that some of the windows are very poorly constructed. There seems to be a problem where the sashes join.. air comes up through the corners. For home owners who don't...
