Replacement window - was the wrong size installed?
Comments (3)at first glance it looks fine to me. the extra trim is a common upgrade with drywall returns. as far as being out of square, its very likely that the actual opening itself is out of square and by inserting the window square and plumb, it looks crooked. this happens often but after explaining this to homeowners they understand....See MoreWindows installation went wrong
Comments (3)Only one picture is shown and that does not show clearly what you are speaking of. I would suggest posting in the window forum here and include the pictures in your post not an outside link....See MoreBuilder installed wrong Window casing. Help
Comments (29)ILoveRed - Why did you hate it? I am not happy about MDF, but we are having to use some with our new build because of supply and demand, plus skyrocketing cost on the real thing. Our builder (custom build) says MDF is fine for crown, casings and moldings, but did he does not like using it on baseboards. He did say that because we are retired, and don't have children living at home, that MDF will hold up well. He says that if we had children, he would not recommend. Well, we have two grandchildren!!! All of the trim was delivered to the house last week and sitting in the garage. The MDF was on back order, as well. I need to check to see if our baseboard trim is MDF or wood. We are using the same type design and sizes of trim that we used in our previous home. I tell you, I could not tell the difference except that it was a little more flexible....See MoreWindow and door company installed wrong doors and won’t pass code!
Comments (8)As @joseph_corlett stated in his comment above, your contractor is just trying to see if he can get some money for the doors. Not only do you not owe him any money for those doors, he owes you for the cost to correct the framing (if the new door contractor is charging you extra in order to remediate his mistake). I am not licensed in Florida - but this seems pretty straight forward. If your contractor gives you any trouble, let me know and I will take a quick look at applicable laws in your jurisdiction - and provide you with some information. As an aside - obviously, this has been a very frustrating situation for you. Your frustration is shown by the way you wrote your post. You were trying to fully explain the situation quickly in order to get your post up - so, you could start receiving advice/suggestions. While the details of your situation are clear in your head, it can be difficult for some others to follow along. I understood your post, and so did some others - but, it was a bit difficult to read (not criticizing - I’ve done the same type of thing before - this is just an onservation). One thing that would make your post easier to read/understand, is if you broke it up into paragraphs. The shorter the paragraph, the better. In fact, I tend to break up my posts/comments into more paragraphs than are gramatically necessary - just to try to make them easier to follow/read. If reading your post feels like ”work” - many people will skip it. I figured that out quickly after discovering Houzz about a year ago. I was trying to figure out why some posts received so much attention, while others would barely receive any. I stuck with your post because the title conveyed a possible legal issue - and I purposely try to read these types of posts because helping with legal issues is how I try to ”give back” on Houzz in exchange for the design advice/professional opinions I’ve received (either through my own posts or through reading other users posts). If it hadn’t involved a possible legal problem, I might have skipped over it because I have a headache - and without any paragraphs, it would take extra work for me to get through it. Let me know if you wind up needing help!...See Moremillworkman
