Windows

Although the product is good as it states energy star rated, I am hoping that it is Canadian rated and not somewhere else where it is warmrer.
Ordered and installed approx. 10 wiindows, we were dissapointed that the salesman did not really spend time with us to let us know what would look best in the front of the house. We ended up with double hung windows instead of a curb appeal tyoe of window like the casement windows. Second, the installers installed the windows in a timely manner but installed the windows in a way that now we have area within the trim to hang our blinds. All in all it was not a good experience. Finally, as a customer, I called back with my concern, and no one even replied. That is not how to run a business. $5000.00 for us was a large amount.

Warning to future customers:

Beware of rebate schemes the company is using as part of their sales pitch. Don't take their word for it. Ask them questions on how to process the rebate so that you can actually get your money back.

At the time when the windows for this project were purchased, 2 or 3 windows, the home inspection would be more expensive than the rebate itself. The energy audit to receive the rebate costs $350, it's only worthwhile for a larger number of windows.

We are sorry to hear that you are having problems. The windows installed in your home are Most Efficient Energy Star that were approved by the Government Green Ontario Program. These windows are CSA approved and do not leave the factory until they are inspected. The photos that were sent by the customer to us showed condensation, which is an indication of the humidity level in the home and not a problem with windows. Slider style of windows have a bottom drainage system that is designed to redirect any water that gets in through the screen, outside of the house. It is also important that the window be closed properly. It was our understanding that the Sales Representative explained this to the client and because
we have not since been contacted by the client, we were led to believe that all issues had been solved. Please visit the following link to learn more about humidity in the home and condensation on windows - http://www.hometechwindow.com/page/condensation. Should you have any further questions, please contact
our office and ask for the service department.

Windows

We bought windows from Thermo-bilt a few years ago. Sales, installation and customer service at the time were all AWESOME!!!! We are now having serious issues with moisture in between the glass. Customer service in the last couple of years has deteriorated! They no longer provide even reasonable customer service. Phone calls and emails go unanswered. When you're spending thousands of dollars you expect that a company will live up to its warranties. Do not purchase from Thermo-Bilt unless you want to replace your windows twice, at your cost!

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.
However, we looked into our sales database and we did not find any match. Moreover, we have been using the same phone number for 20 years and answering all calls coming through.
If you have proof of bill of sale feel free to come get in touch with us and our service department will be more than happy to address all of your concerns.
Thank you.

Replacement of 10 Window

I contracted with TBWD to replace 10 windows at a cost of $12,430.00. I paid them an advance of $3,430 and the remainder was to have been paid per their contract "UPON INSTALLATION".

With deepest regret TBWD refused to install the windows until I paid them THE FULL REMAINDER AMOUNT OWING OF $9,000.00 AND TOO ONLY BY CERTIFIED CHEQUE OR MONEY ORDER. I have had several email and phone discussion with many of their staff, their Manager and even their Owner, that confirms the above and it's over 2 years and my windows have not been installed nor have they returned my money.

However, regrettably till date TBWD has not installed the windows as their demand of getting paid

Hello Don,

It looks like you have rescheduled the installation dates at least five different times. While we love to accommodate our customers, each time we arrived to complete the project, you did not permit our team to enter your home and proceed with the installation. We would love to have provided you service had you allowed us! Your windows remain in storage at our distribution warehouse since 2018.

Currently you have an outstanding cost with us, but once the invoice is cleared in full, we will gladly send your order for pick up or delivery.

If you have any further questions or need help, please feel free to contact our office at tbwcustomerservice@gmail.com or 416-756-0798.

Thank you,
Thermo Bilt Management

windows and sliding doors

I have had nothing but awful experience with this vendor. They won't support their product. They treat their customers with disdain after the sales and can't even conduct themselves in a professional manner.

Approximate cost of services:
$6,000.00
What could this company do to improve their services?
Any advice to offer fellow homeowners facing a similar project?

all our windows

we put windows on the entire house with a massive bough window in front...so far 6 of them are completely useless and a real eyesore in fact we cant see out of them.....have tried fro over 2 months to get some service on the defective products they sold us and now they are demanding $600 dollars as a service charge....we got the windows because my husband has been ill and we are close to retirement with only myself working.....it is not our fault Thermal Build put defective windows in the majority of our house ...they tried to get me to void my warranty by telling me to install the windows myself .....of course it would void my warranty and you can be sure more windows will be defective.....do yourself a favor and get your widows anywhere else as this company not only makes a poor product but don't stand by the warranty....which was the reason we dealt with them in the beginning!!!!!!!!
we will see how they deal with CTV ....cant wait to see their defective product on the news....

"Hi Roxanne, we are sorry to hear that you have not enjoyed the same positive product and service of so many other reviewers. Installing the windows yourself can save you money initially but can void the warranty. We are always happy to both install windows and provide service for our clients. Depending on the nature of the situation, there may be a cost for the service which we indicate up front, as you have seen. We are happy to still provide you service on your windows and you can contact us directly at your convenience".

Welcome to my window night mare

*My Windows went in Oct 15th they are not finished yet !!

1 The capping on 2 exterior bedroom windows incomplete;
they left the old capping on the bottom of these windows , from the original windows looks like crap work incomplete

2 Water leaking into house from living room window into the house
in 2 places. Right hand side of trim they installed is all chewed up from their installation. Where they used nail gun they did not cover with filler like they are supposed to do.

3 They dropped my bedroom window before installation, there is damage to Right upper exterior corner of window frame ,due to them dropping this window it cracked all the seams to that window and now it has moisture building up inside the window.
This window has to be removed and replaced with good window with no moisture inside

4 kitchen window was to have trim around the window! They pulled out part of the window frame.The piece of trim they put in to repair hole they made ,looks like crap and dose not even match the rest of the window(they realized after destroying original window sil that they could not put window trim in as my window frame was bigger than the trim they had! You think you would measure before you destroy something that they did not have right size to replace and they left the window not caulked around most of that window damage they did?

5 Laundry room window trim incomplete inside and caulking incomplete inside as well as outside not finished

6 Bathroom window inside they did not finish the caulking to repair the tile they damage on removal and installation of this window

7 Sliding door was supposed to be white I got a tan shade and was told I got upgraded I did not ask for this colour it dose not match the rest of the house! I was told to suck it up

8 Caulking not finished on all windows and sliding door on outside

9 Caulking in house incomplete on most of the windows

I was all so told by the installers the to EXPECT DRAUGHTS as this is an old home

Well if they had done the job properly I would not have any leaks
/ draughts

With my old windows in I had no draughts now my house is colder and I have to put my heat up higher to keep house warm

I had 8 windows and sliding door put in the installers took every short cut possible I had to constantly watch them and stop bad work from being done and that was not enough as you can see all the deficiencies they left me with and all I am getting is lip service and no work done to repair these problems

The manager came over a month ago and said all of these deficiencies would be completed.

I have been calling every week for service all I get is lip service and no completion of work and increasing heat bills because of bad workman ship.

Do not use this company if you want good work done

As of today I am still waiting for the windows to be completed .

I call every week for the last month and a half all i get is lip service and no call back
If you use this company you might as well through your money away

Approximate cost of services:
$5,980.00
