We bit the bullet and installed the new Milgard Woodclad windows in the house we are building — they are fiberglass w/ a thin fir veneer on the inside. Beautiful, BUT, we have leaking on the large windows lining our southside view. Milgard has been out several times trying to fix, to no avail.
1. Has anyone else had similar problems?
2. We are at the point we have to replace them — meaning tearing off the outside trim, surrounding cedar shingles, etc. What should we reasonably expect from Milgard — should we be demanding they do the labor and materials for the trim work?
THANKS so much.
