So, here’s the deal: we got new windows installed a couple of days back, and it’s turned into a bit of a bummer situation. About half of them have shrunk in size, and it’s seriously bumming me out. Our house is ancient, like a century old, and we had 14 Pella replacement windows and the rest were original. The new ones that replaced the oldies look pretty good – just lost a bit of glass, which is normal. But the ones that replaced the Pella ones? Oh boy, they shrank big time, like comically small.
I’m wondering if the window company goofed up by putting replacement windows inside other replacement windows without taking something out first. It would’ve been nice if they had given me a heads-up that we’d end up with two different styles in the house. Sadly, we paid up in full when they finished the job. I wasn’t around when the crew wrapped up, but my partner signed off and paid. Now, I plan to talk to the window company about this, but since it’s my first time getting new windows, I need some advice from experienced homeowners and contractors on what’s normal and what’s not.
I’ve even got some photos to show you the whole mismatched window saga. The front of the house has three sets of windows, and one of them was Pella. It sticks out like a sore thumb compared to the others – the proportions are all wonky. The kitchen sink windows are a real eyesore, with the mix of casements and a picture window. And don’t get me started on the bathroom window; it feels like I’m peering out of an airplane!
So, there you have it. I’m feeling a mix of sadness and regret every time I glance at my wonky windows. It’s a lesson learned for me – next time, I’ll be sure to double-check everything before the job’s signed off. But hey, if any of you seasoned window pros out there have any tips or insights, hit me up. I could sure use some wisdom right about now.
