Effectively, there is No Warranty on these Windows

AI Highlights
  • - A $4,000 bow window has a separated plastic coating on bottom, causing water damage.
  • - Photos provided; warranty denied for missing cap stock.
ReliaBilt Windows - Effectively, there is No Warranty on these Windows

Our $4,000 bow window experienced separation of the pastic coating on the bottom surface of the bottom wood panel, allowing water to soak into the wood and discolor / create dark weak spots in the wood. We took pictures of the situation as requested.

Weeks later an email arrived that it was not covered under warranty because it was not installed with some further protective material called "cap stock". We paid Lowes to install the window, we approached them about the situation -- you guessed it. They claim "materials failure", "not their fault". Reliabilt claims "workmanship failure", "more protective material should have been installed"...

The wife and I...

WE'RE LEFT WITHOUT ANY WARRANTY OR RESOLUTION. ZERO.

User's recommendation: Avoid Lowes and Reliabilt... ZERO WARRANTY, NOT "Lifetime"

Lifetime Warranty is only 5 years

stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full stars-rating-full
AI Highlights
  • - Reliabilt 3201 Double Hung windows were purchased for two homes about 8 years ago.
  • - Five windows won’t stay up; no purchase record after 5 years.
ReliaBilt Windows - Lifetime Warranty is only 5 years

I have purchased these windows for two different houses. I am selling a house that I installed the Reliabilt 3201 Double Hung windows 8 years ago.

I have the original purchase order.

During the inspection, 5 windows do not stay up. I called to get someone to tell me how to fix or send an installer, but they said because it is more than 5 years, they have no record of my purchase.

Loss:
$200

Preferred solution: Reimbursement for having to pay an independent contractor to repair these windows.

User's recommendation: Don't buy windows from Lowes

AI Highlights
  • - One window seal broke among 13 purchased.
  • - Lowes contract promises lifetime warranty; Reliabilt won't honor without actual receipt.
  • - Customer service hung up.
ReliaBilt Windows - Windows

Seal broke in one window out of the 13 that were purchased. I have the contract with Lowes which stated a lifetime warranty; due to not having the actual receipt, Reliabilt will not stand behind their product.

I asked to speak to a supervisor and was told no, that they would tell me the exact same thing.

Then they hung up.

Not a reputable company that stands behind their product and customer service is horrible.

Pros:
  • Great windows
Cons:
  • Horrible customer service

Preferred solution: Replacement

User's recommendation: Do not purchase from ReliaBilt

Urgent Request for Replacement Bottom Track – Safety Concern

AI Highlights
  • - Bottom track is misaligned; replacement needed.
  • - Three mirrored doors cost over $1,000 and pose a safety risk; urgent replacement guidance needed.

To: Lowe's Public Relations

Subject: Urgent Request for Replacement Bottom Track Safety Concern

Dear Customer Service Department,

I purchased three mirrored closet sliding door panels (96-inch height, 100-inch wide opening with three panels) from you over a year ago from Lowe's (Reliabilt by Chaparral). Unfortunately, the bottom track has become misaligned and now needs to be replaced.

I have gone to Lowe's many times and spoken with several representatives. I also have a paper trail and supporting documentation of my attempts to resolve this issue. However, I have repeatedly been told that Lowe's does not sell or order the track separately.

These mirrored closet doors were a significant investment (over $1,000 for the three), and at this point, I am very concerned about safety. The misaligned track poses a risk, as someone could easily get hurt if the doors become unstable.

I urgently need assistance in obtaining a replacement bottom track for these three sliding doors. Please advise me on how to proceed so I can ensure the doors are safe and functional again.

Thank you very much for your prompt attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

SFarman

Loss:
$1200
Cons:
  • Are not accountable for their product

Preferred solution: Need to replace the bottom track for 3 panels bypass sliding closet door. Safety concern

Installation. Assistance on mullion strip

AI Highlights
  • - Purchased 6 Lowe's windows in Johnson City.
  • - 3-0×5-0 series 28100; Lowe's lists as 28500.
  • - The 150 mullion kits do not work on 28100.

We purchased 6 windows from Lowe's in Johnson City, 3-0×5-0 series 28100 (although Lowe's had them as 28500 on their system) and 2 series 150 mullion kits. Atrium windows say the mullion kits are theirs, but the 28100 windows are not theirs.

The kits do not work on the 28100 series windows. What mullion kits do we need to mull two twin units with 4 of the windows?

Very poor quality

AI Highlights
  • - The windows seem cheap and the reviewer would not recommend Reliabuilt.
  • - One window has two edges that are square and level and two that are not.

I am not a pro at windows, but I can read a level and square. I know they make these windows as cheap as possible, but come on!

At least check your product assembly station settings. I had to get these windows installed before the rain set in, so I was kind of stuck with what I had purchased and time. I guess it's a big issue checking the assemblies for proper lengths and square. I have 2 edges that are square and level and 2 that are not, just on 1 window.

I knew I should have finished my windows with Pella like the rest of the windows, but money dictates. I know I will never recommend Reliabuilt windows.

Loss:

Pros:
  • Look good

Preferred solution: Apology

User's recommendation: I would not. 1/2 star out of 5 rating

They suck

AI Highlights
  • - Spent $3,000 on windows that have been a nightmare.
  • - One window replaced twice; Lowe's wouldn't help.
  • - Window keeps breaking; plastic disintegrates.
ReliaBilt Windows - They suck
ReliaBilt Windows - They suck - Image 2

I spent $3,000 on these reliable windows, and they have been nothing but a nightmare. One window has been replaced twice, which was a nightmare in itself dealing with Lowe's as they did not want to work with me.

I eventually ended dealings with them and the window has continued to break and just fall into pieces. I've used replacement kits on it three times and now the plastic is just disintegrating and falling off in chunks and all the metal parts are falling out. I have rheumatoid arthritis and this window has continued to repeatedly fall on my wrists, and when the metal stripping flies out and rips your hand apart, that's fun too.

I am about to lose my mind and drive to North Carolina to remedy the situation and get a new window. I'm a single woman and now I'm trapped in my house because this is NOT secure.

Preferred solution: Two whole new windows so they match

User's recommendation: Don't even think about it

  • - The trim between the glass fell apart and molded after 2 years.
  • - It's within warranty, but Lowe's and the manufacturer said I must buy new windows to fix.

Trim between the glass fell apart and molded between the glass after 2 years. It's within warranty, but Lowe's and Manufacturer both refused to replace the windows and said I needed to buy new ones if I wanted it fixed.

AI Highlights
  • - Charged for replacements but sent construction windows.
  • - Flanges not removed; we had to cut to fit.

Contains 1 confidential file for company representatives

Renovating an apartment complex required almost 400 replacement windows. They charged us for replacement windows but sent us new construction windows instead.

We noticed this because they wouldn't even remove the flanges. We had to cut them off so the windows would fit. I sent several pictures to Mr. Rep., but nothing was done about it.

He continually blamed his boss. He never gave me his boss's phone number. He claimed he didn't know it, which is a lie! Not to mention, every shipment had either broken glass, a damaged sash, no screen, or an entire window missing.

They lack quality control.

Before we started this project, the Rep. for Reliabilt promised that they would not change the pricing. That was a lie!

The price was increased four times. This company is, by far, the worst I have ever dealt with.

Loss:
$6000
Cons:
  • Sorry in every aspect

Preferred solution: Money I have lost, believing their word!
