To top off the shody workmanship, it looks as though they had Andersen windows. Probably no need for replacements. They were had.

I don't think you can tell just from the pics. Even good windows installed improperly can have water issues...and then even some top brands have defects that cause water damage.

That being said, it's still pretty funny

Well thank you for always taking issue with whatever I post. Glad to see some things never change.
I said they look like Andersen windows because they look identical to the Andersen sashes I have in my house.

I will use any and all opportunities to dump on Pella windows. They are the absolute WORST. And the company will not stand behind their product when the seals fail, which they will. Pella always claims installer error and sticks it to the homeowner or contractor. There are two new homes on Marblehead Neck that had THREE sets of Pells fail. Both homes now have Marvins, the contractor for one is holding the bag, and both homeowners are tied up in court fighting Pella corporate for $$$.
Their sliding doors, ok. Windows; absolute crap.

Marvin makes a great product but they can be $$$.

It's a shame your Pella experience has been so bad. They're a great company to work with (big customers of ours) and have worked had to keep production in the USA.

I've heard of customer support issues though, perhaps they just don't make them like they used to. My father's lasted 30 years before their first failure!
