Weather Tight Corporation 5 years of hell trying to get Weather Tight Corp. to make my windows right!! West Allis Wisconsin

WEATHER TIGHT, WEATHER TIGHT, WEATHER TIGHT,  tsk, tsk, tsk!!  My RESTORATIONS WINDOW SYSTEM installed by WEATHER TIGHT is ANYTHING BUT WEATHER TIGHT.  Because of my hiring of WEATHER TIGHT to install my RESTORATIONS windows, I have now encountered one of the worst home improvement experiences of my life.  CONSUMERS BEWARE OF WEATHER TIGHT CORP. AND RESTORATIONS WINDOW SYSTEMS. 

In 2010 I had WEATHER TIGHT CORP., 11400 W. Oklahoma Ave., West Allis install windows made by RESTORATIONS WINDOWS, 200 Enterprise Dr., Temperance, MI.  I have been experiencing problems with my RESTORATIONS windows and WEATHER TIGHT CORP. ever since.  I had 3 double hung, 1 – 25/50/25 family room window and 2 patio doors installed.  Not long after I contacted WEATHER TIGHT CORP. because I noticed air coming in between the window frames, around the locks, around the entire window, through the weep holes.  These freaking RESTORATIONS WINDOWS installed by WEATHER TIGHT CORP. were like swiss cheese.  I had spent extra money on the triple glazed units (three panes of glass) to make sure I had additional insulation in my RESTORATIONS WINDOWS.  Fat lot of good that does me when EVERYTHING else about the windows leak air.  Oh yeah, and they seem to fog up for no apparent reason also. 

I had people from WEATHER TIGHT CORP. come out and look at these windows approximately a dozen times, most of the time having to take off of work to meet them.  The following are some of the problems that the service people from WEATHER TIGHT CORP. said was happening with my RESTORATIONS WINDOWS:

Window panes wrong size

Window panes reversed in frames

Window panes upside down

Window Panes sagging

Hollow channels in frames leaking air

Air seepage through window locks

Air seepage through weep holes

Windows not interlocking

No insulation around window

These are problems diagnosed BY WEATHER TIGHT CORP. in regards to their own installations of RESTORATIONS WINDOWS.

Oh sure WEATHER TIGHT CORP. and RESTORATIONS WINDOWS have all kinds of warranty propaganda they show you when you are buying the product, all worthless when you need it.

Bottom line, after 5 years of chasing WEATHER TIGHT CORP. to fix my RESTORATIONS WINDOWS so they don’t leak air and fog up I have $13,000.00 of windows that leak and fog substantially.  WEATHER TIGHT CORP. (even though I have ALWAYS been polite and professional with them) has finally told me that they can do no more.  This even after one of their service guys said he would return to do additional insulation on the exterior (they say they have no record of that).  Well if WEATHER TIGHT CORP. can do no more to make these RESTORATIONS WINDOWS work correctly, then I want my money back.

If you can read this and still consider WEATHER TIGHT CORP. or RESTORATIONS WINDOWS for your project, then I wish you good luck….  You’re gonna need it.

Update 5/27/2015

Weather tight has replaced the windows an additional time guaranteeing it would fix the problem.  Now the air coming through the frames is so bad it will blow out a candle.  See these you tube videos:

Now Weather tight has resorted to lying to the better business bureau saying that I am being unreasonable asking that the air coming through my windows does not blow out a candle.  Also they are calling one of the rooms the windows are in a “breezeway”, not true.

They have wasted my time and money and now this stress is affecting my health.  What a freaking nightmare.
