DO NOT USE THE WINDOW SOURCE OF ATHENS. Here is the full story.
The sales guy, Steve Coffie, was fine, but from then on - nothing but trouble.
My husband took a morning off work so the guy could measure all the windows. The guy called shortly before he was supposed to be there & said he was running late. My husband waited an hour, then was cancelled on. It was rescheduled. He canceled a 2nd time. Then he showed up without warning 1 afternoon when only my teenage daughters were home & wanted in to measure. Heck no! My husband made him leave & reschedule again. When he canceled the 3rd time I called Steve, the salesman, & demanded to speak with the manager. The owner, Tyler Smith, called me in response to my call to Steve & said he would personally come out the next day (Thur) to measure the windows & the order would go out on Friday. He promised me he would rush the order so they would be here in 3 weeks & cover the cost of the "rush", plus he promised to "make the situation right" by "sending us something" when it was all done with & "taking a little off the prince". Guess who showed up to measure on Thursday? The guy who canceled on us 3 times & was pissed I spoke to Tyler, not Tyler.
3 weeks came, 4 weeks came, 5 weeks came, at 6 weeks I made an angry phone call to Steve (the sales guy) at 8:00 a.m. sharp. He said he would get Tyler on the line & call right back. I never got a call back. 10:00 a.m. I had my husband call. Apparently, no one should have told me 3 weeks because we had special order windows that were sent out to another facility to be made. And one of them had to be sent back because it was not up to standards when it arrived to their shop. Did anyone call to let us know? Nope. So we finally get a date for our windows. They actually come early and Dalton schedules us for installation 2 days later. Fantastic! I am told the install crew will be at my house at 9:00 a.m. The crew didn't get to my house until 10:50 a.m.
Because they were so late, they did not get all the windows placed in one day & still needed access to my house on day 2; however, I was not able to take a 2nd day off work. So I had 4 men I did not know in & out of my house from 11:30-3:30 without anyone home. My oldest daughter came home from school as they were packing up to leave. When my husband & I got home later, we started checking the windows. The trim corners looked like crap. At least 2 corners on each window frame (trim) have a gap. There is caulk on the outside of the windows that did not get cleaned off. The caulking down the sides of the windows is messy & spread onto the siding of the house. (Now the house will need to be painted). It looks like crap.
AND THIS WAS THE END OF MY ORIGINAL POST on 9/21/2018. I put up reviews on The Window Source of Athen's FaceBook page, Yelp, the Better Business Bureau, my FaceBook page...
Then things got even better. On 9/21/18, in a phone call with my husband, Dalton agreed to take $700 off the final price because of all the trouble we had & have the crew come back on Sat. or Mon. to make the fixes. 1 of the installers did come on Mon & fixed everything to my husband's approval. Then comes Wed, Sept 26, 2018. Tyler Smith, the owner, has his staff member, Ashley, call my husband & tell him Tyler will only take the $700 off if I (Mary Jo) remove my negative review with the (BBB) & take down my negative review on the Window Source of Athens FaceBook page. I even got Tyler to confirm it in an email. I take down my post of the Window Source of Athens FaceBook page. BBB-Atlanta takes down my review from their page. I emailed Tyler to let him know & asked for an updated invoice.
The invoice comes back with a line that says "Discount to remove online review". Can you believe it!! I did not ask for a discount to remove my review. The discount was for all the trouble we went through & for them being a crappy company. Tyler would only agree to give it to us if I removed MY reviews. But the agreement was for ME to remove MY reviews. Specifically, the reviews I posted on BBB and the Window Source of Athens FaceBook page. The reviews I wrote in these 2 places were removed. We have paid our balance in full. We have an invoice that indicates we have "Paid in Full". They said our warranty for the windows is "in the mail". You should go read the reply he gave to my dad's review on The Window Source of Athens. Tyler lied in his response. And I put up a couple pictures to prove it. Tyler has called my husband twice, left a message once. Called me twice, left a message once. He's willing to do anything to get the reviews taken down. He wants the Yelp review removed also. It's not going to happen. I am certain this is not the first time this has happened. I think other people folded and took down their reviews. I care more about other people not having these same headaches and experiences. read more
