Thermatru Fiber Classic sliding Door leaking-
Comments (1)I sold TT for years and they always honored warranty issue as long as the issues were truly with the product. There are things required to do maintenance wise with any product and you really have given us no indication of what the issue with your door is....See MoreWater leak inside track of sliding patio door
Comments (12)Is the sill sloped properly? Is that exterior tile pushing the sill up and making it almost flat as it appears in the picture? If so then the water will not run off like it is designed to do?...See MoreFeeling overwhelmed with,home repair
Comments (21)" I have never seen it in nearly 40 years of my real estate career." Now I have a question. Over those 40 years,how did lenders assure themselves pre-owned homes they were lending on wasn't near falling in from termites,wasn't half burned down,didn't have irreparable foundation damage or other issues that dramatically effect's value. __________________________________________ To respond to this question by klem1 ^^^ The appraiser is the one that notes any deficiency in the collateral. This is true for conventional loans and government insured type loans (FHA/VA, USDA). The appraiser isn't quite a thorough as an inspector, but they do check the foundations, the roof, HVAC, and electrical systems and other items and put those items in the appraisal. They will even make the value subject to repair of those items prior to closing in some cases. An appraiser can explain it in more detail. The appraisal is ordered by the bank and paid for by the buyer to protect the bank from loaning against inferior collateral. The inspection is ordered and paid for by the buyer for the buyers use. If there are surprises in the inspection, we go back in and renegotiate the price and/or the repair or cancel the purchase depending on the severity of the condition discovered in the inspection. We have the inspections done long before the appraisal is completed so if there is a price or other adjustment it can be negotiated prior to the appraiser getting to the property. One more thing: if the appraiser makes the condition a repair item, then the appraiser has to come out to re-inspect that item after the repair and prior to closing and submit photos of the repair (where possible) and paperwork to the bank that s/he has inspected the item. Inspections and appraisals are two totally different things - but they do overlap in some respects because the condition of the collateral does affect value. PS: Appraisers refer to their visit as an "appraisal inspection". This could be where the confusion comes from in the post by klem1. The "appraisal inspection" is nowhere near as detailed as an inspection done by a qualified inspector. HTH....See MoreReplacing a ~96"x80" sliding glass patio door with swinging glass door
Comments (3)I agree with Fori, you are talking to the wrong sales people. For years early in my career, seems almost all I did was change out sliders to french doors. For your opening size and situation, you could use several combinations of door and sidelight combos. For example, a pair of 32" swinging french, with a 32" fixed sidelight. If your rough opening won't accept that, perhaps a 30" sidelight and/or 30" doors....See MoreJoseph Corlett, LLC
