Windows failed after four years - buy some other brand
In July 2018 I purchased a brand new Energy Star rated house, with a HERS rating of 48, from an expert builder, featuring Andersen windows. Anderson marketing literature claims a life of 20 to 40 years, for their windows. Four years later three large windows on the sunny side have failed, are leaking and damaging our home. A field rep came to look over the situation. He concluded this was not an installation issue but a product failure. The plastic frames were cracking and water was leaking in and damaging the structure and interior walls. AWC appears to be willing to replace the windows, while ignoring the reality that removal and re-installation will cost double the value of the windows themselves. Apart from the cost - am I going to have to replace the “replacement” windows again four years from now?? Anderson sells expensive windows, but their quality doesn't justify the price, the customer service sucks and their warranty is useless.
