GL refused to come back for the job 10/5/2022 GL tried to massage the cost of capping into extra cost when the contract stipulated that capping is in the total contract cost 10/19/2022 GL demanded $1000 + tax on top of the signed contract with 50% deposited on 10/5/2021. GL asked for the full job payment before GL would schedule any appointment 10/24/2022 We produced evidence that we made 50% deposit in 10/5/2021 for a job that is not half done in 10/19/2022 and GL had the gut to ask for extra $1000.

    Great Lakes Windows and doors! Do NOT waste your money on this company. I spent way too much on ****** work on my home. I had 9 windows and 2 doors installed and it looks like crap! I kept getting the run around when things needed to be redone because it looked like they just threw it in and the caulking was terrible. Destroyed drywall, windows were way smaller then what I had originally. Front door I love but the framing is terrible! It's not straight at all!! Front big window outside caulking is embarrassing, you can actually see it dripping from a far distance at the road looking at it. I've had neighbors come over and say wow what the hell happened here!! I should have went and spent an extra 5k with the other company but being a single mom I was going with the price that met my budget and they made it seem like they have been doing this for 20+ years LMFAO ya fooled me alright. Looks like they hired people off the streets!! Still haven't heard back from the ******* at the office as to when **** will be coming to fix the outside of my front window! They are ignoring me and took over 17k from me!
