Ply Gem Industries, Inc. Avis 5

Purchased Mastic Ovation siding for my home. Within 2 years it has faded terribly on any side the sun hits. Well over 1000sq.ft. They offer 100% warranty under 5 years. Come to read reviews of the same siding warping and fading and Ply Gem states that it is no fault of the product. They force you to pay to send them a sample then they deny your claim saying it's not covered. BUT they then make a small offer like they are doing you a favor but have to sign off that you cannot come back on them for anything. They offer the bare minimum for labor no credit to dispose and a small amount of siding. With well over 1000 sq ft damaged within 2 years they offer 400 sq ft. That won't even touch the amount that is damaged and the amount that will get worse. They ruined the value of my home and do not honor their warranty. I see many bad reviews on the other products as well and nightmare customer service. Stay clear of any Ply Gem products. You will be sorry.

So, two things, firstly Xhemial Mimic who was my first contact with Plygem directly out of Kelowna was so very helpful....listened to my concerns of failed seals on our patio doors had a site tech scheduled the very next week. Then secondly, Tyler who is their onsite tech showed up and was very very careful not to damage our floors when he removed the doors for seal repairs. He took his time, cared for our house like it was his own !!! Fantastic service from these two folks.

Thanks again TEAM!!!!

Do not purchase Ply Gem windows. They are not built to last….not even 1 year.
I have had problems with these windows since I purchased my house in 2010.
I used to be able to call the local company who installed them and they would warranty them. It was easy.

Recently I had a back window that the lock mechanism broke. You now have to fill out a ridiculous form online and take multiple pictures of each window.

I also submitted a claim for windows that are hard to closed and one that developed a spot.

After not hearing something for 1 week I called customer service. She said it will be 6-8weeks before the claim is reviewed. I said the lock is broke and I can’t secure my house. She said I should have called and told them (said nothing online about this).

It was expedited and the reviewed my claims.
They said they will ship a new lock and I will be contacted in 2 weeks to schedule an appointment. My window does not lock!

My second claim about the spot was denied. Based on the pictures she determined I “modified” the window because it’s in the up position to fit a cat door. The solid part of the window that does not move is the problem.

My third claim about the windows being hard to open/close was completely ignored.

Ply Gem has hired customer service/warranty representatives who have been taught to deny claims. There is no way to contact them other than the ridiculous warranty form.

This company does not have quality windows and their warranty is bogus.

had a deeply frustrating experience with my recent warranty claim handled by Rebecca. Despite providing all requested information and reaching out to KB Homes for clarification, the resolution was disappointing.

Despite significant effort on my part, including submitting detailed documentation and photographs, the damage was deemed not covered under warranty without a satisfactory explanation. The process felt predetermined and unresponsive to my case, which was disheartening.

The lack of transparency in the warranty policy was especially troubling. If certain damages are not covered, this should be communicated clearly from the outset rather than requesting unnecessary information. The current policy, which seems to ignore damages like glass breaks from no external forces, appears flawed and unhelpful.

As a loyal customer, this experience has significantly impacted my trust. I hope the company reviews its policy and approach to improve customer satisfaction and transparency.

Warning to others: Please stay away. This has been the worst warranty policy experience I’ve ever encountered.

I replaced all of the doors and windows in my home with Ply Gem products and I am very sorry that I did...... I have had multiple hardware failures (latches and handles) as a result of the cheap materials they use. I also have a window with a failed seal. In December of 2022, I filed separate online warranty claims for a window latch replacement and for the failed window seal. It is now the beginning of April 2023 and after multiple phone calls to Ply Gem I am not a single step closer to any kind of resolution. Every time I call and speak to someone I am told that they have a large backlog of warranty claims and that this is 'normal'! Clearly there is an issue with a company who has so many warranty claims that they cannot respond to one of them in more than 4 months! As it relates to the broken window latch, that has been a serious issue for us this past winter, as I have been unable to keep the window latched and when it rains, water is pouring through the window causing damage to my home. I have left multiple messages for Ply Gem customer service offering to pay for the new hardware if they could just send it to me, as there is no online or other source to purchase replacement hardware. No response has been received from them.
I am extremely upset that after spending the kind of money that I did on their products, they clearly have no regard for their customers and don't stand behind their products. Based on he many other negative reviews that I have read, it seems like the problem that I am experiencing is pervasive. As it appears that I will never get this resolved with Ply Gem, I am now going to refocus my time and write reviews on every possible channel on the internet so that future customers know what they are getting into when purchasing inferior Ply Gem products and inevitably having to try and deal with non-existent customer service.
