Milgard is a great window company that stands behind their products. Don was excellent and super helpful. Couldn't ask for anyone better! Someone had messed up our window track by caulking it and he was able to remove that and restore it to its original.

In November 2017, Case# **, was open and not until December 31st were are 2 windows replaced. The actual replacement process was great but... when the Service Tech was on-site I showed him two other windows that that had the same issues. He said I had to do NOTHING and he will report and we will get new windows. On February 2nd, 2018, I entered the service request that the Service Tech should have entered Case#**. I did receive a return email and case number but it has been crickets since. Again the actual window replacement day was great but that's where it stops. Please replace my other windows.

Hi Tom - I'm so sorry to hear that the tech did not enter in your second request. I apologize for the mis-communication. I will ask the service team to call you today to fix the additional windows. Again, so sorry for the delay.

The lock on my original French doors stopped functioning. Milgard decided the best course of action was to replace the entire two door set. The replacement doors required a lot of "fine tuning" by the two service technicians, but they eventually got them to behave correctly. I am very pleased with the job they did and the overall Milgard service experience.

My window washer let me know my "foggy" window wasn't dirty but defective. Called Milgard, gave them the product # from the side of the window, and poof - a few weeks later, a sparkly perfect new pane. Only reason the service is not a 5 is that I called at the end of the service window provided to determine if they were going to make it. Would have appreciated a call letting me know they were running behind, totally understand life happens. But we all have cell phones now. :)

I called Clovis Glass who installed the big 118" window initially and they helped me file a claim, it took Milgard 4 weeks. They contacted me, scheduled an appointment, the guys came out when they said they would and in 20 minutes they were done. The installers were kind and tidy!!

I had to have my picture window in my living replaced. I went thru an independent contractor to have the work done. The first time the window was replaced we noticed a large scratch between the panes. Milgard said they would replace it and 6 weeks later they did. The problem this time was that they sent tinted glass and the order was for plain glass. Once again they said they would replace it and a month later they did.
This time when the job was done we noticed another small blemish on the window between the panes. I contacted Milgard to see what could be done. They once again said they would come out and replace the window. This meant another day of missing work and I was not willing to do that. I contacted Milgard to see if instead of replacing it again the could just give me a discount on the glass. I had not yet paid the balance of the bill to the independent contractor so I thought giving me a discount would be a sensible option. It would save them from coming out a 4th time and they would not have to waste another window. I was told they did not do this type of thing. This didn't make any sense to me but nothing I could do. My final decision was to keep the window I have but as nice as they were on the phone it left me very frustrated.

Hi Lisa - I'm so sorry to hear about your frustration. We are always looking for ways to improve and we will provide your feedback to the Service Supervisors to see if we can make changes to improve our service. Thank you for providing your feedback.

One of the locks on two casement windows was not placed in the correct location. The service technician came to our home and adjusted to the correct location. The technician was great and adjusted the lock in the correct location quickly and the problem was fixed very fast. The only item I would like Milgard to improve is the wait time for a technician to come service the windows. My available appointment took one month from the time I call about the problem.

When I was rinsing a Milgard dual pane window, water seeped in between the panes. I contacted the local glass shop about replacing it. When they found out I had been the owner who had the windows installed 18 years ago I was given the tel. number to contact Milgard since they would still replace it for free. I had forgotten that guarantee but was very pleased to hear it. It did take about 5 months before the job was completed, perhaps because I live in a rural area. An appointment a number of weeks out was set up for someone to measure and then it was several months more before another appointment for an installer to come with the new window.
While he was here, I mentioned a broken latch on the screen for my Milgard sliding door. When I had gone to the store to buy a replacement they claimed the part was no longer available. The installer looked the situation over, had a part in his truck that he was able to modify and I once again have a working latch on the screen. Most grateful. The star I would have deleted for the long time the window replacement took, is added back because of his kindly action.

My windows were missing covers and crank handles on two casement windows. Also two casement windows were making a clicking noise (rubbing metal to metal) when closing. Four casement windows were missing the child protection locks. I waited about 6 weeks to have a technician come out and he didn’t have the parts to install the child protection locks. He said he could come out in two weeks or mail me the parts in two days. I still have not seen him, or the parts. I’ve called multiple times and they can’t even seem to figure out what windows I have. Even when I give them the window serial number.

Hi Jeff - I'm sorry about the delay in receiving the parts you requested. I was able to find your service ticket on file and I'll ask the service team to get those out to you promptly. Thank you.

The first call I made was easy and the rep was very helpful. My followup call to reschedule my installation date the woman felt like she challenged me and said she was doing me a huge favor by adding on additional windows to the same claim even though the first call I made the guy said I would and should be able to do this. The first guy also said that they would check all my windows for me when the installers did come out.
One installer was very nice and the older guy seemed put out. I helped them out and moved as quick as I could to show them around as to which windows were on the order. I had intended to talk with them about another concerning slider but when they were done they were done. No asking me if everything looked good or how long I should wait or not worry til cleaning the window, etc. Plus they left there gunk ALL over the ground. Seems like they would ideally clean up after the job. They did work fast and the glass looks great but there is also no tint in the two large windows that were replaced as there was previously. I am grateful for the work that was done but seems like it was rushed and the customer service wasn't the best.

Hi Jennifer - Sorry to hear that your warranty service felt rushed. Also, if the previous glass had a tint, the replacement should have as well. Please call 1-800-Milgard to get the correct glass ordered. Thank you.

I told the technician I wanted him to look at the shutter I had installed, told him I was having the same shutters installed on all the windows. Told him I know I have two more windows that need to be repaired and I didn't want to install the shutters before the windows were repaired and could he look at them before he left, maybe they will be able to remove the windows with the shutters installed. I didn't want to change the shutter install date, but I needed to have him look. But the man repaired the one window and jetted out and I called Milgard and she said she called him 3 times with no answer. If only he could have did what I asked, look at the other windows, look how the shutter is installed so I know if I can keep my original install date or need to change it. Now I have to add another 2 weeks to the install date because he just jetted out the door.

Hello Diane - I'm so sorry to hear that the tech left without taking a look at the shutters for you. If you are unable to get this resolved on your upcoming service appointment, please let me know at social@milgard.com and I can help. Thank you.

In 1999 we made the decision to replace every window in our home with beautiful Milgard wood paneled windows. The windows had a lifetime guarantee. After nineteen years 3 windows were showing the effects of broken seals. I called Milgard to inquire about having them replaced. A representative came to our home and confirmed the need for replacements, measured the windows, ordered the new ones, and they were replaced with no questions asked. The labor and parts were totally covered. The Milgard crew were efficient, and after their work our home was left neat, and tidy.

Contacted Milgard back in 10/2017 for warranty work on 6 windows. Earliest they would send someone out was 2/2018 and then due to a recreational accident by the laborer, they rescheduled my warranty work another 3 months to 5/2018.

I needed 2 picture windows replaced after fogging and discoloration showed up between the panes. I started the process last Spring (2017). Didn't get the first window installed until the fall of 2017, after I called inquiring about what was going on. I never heard back on the second window, which was on a second story. After not hearing anything for a year, I started calling to check on things. The window was not even ordered until July 7, 2017 (even though I started the process in the spring), and STILL is NOT INSTALLED!!! They haven't scheduled it, and don't have anything planned in the future. They are "working on it". I am EXTREMELY displeased with the service, and lack of follow through. Over one year to wait to get windows replaced is absolutely UNACCEPTABLE. VERY poor, actually non- existent customer service. Disappointed to say the least... Still looking through foggy windows...

There is too much to say. Having dealt with Temecula many times, I can only say Simi feels like a different company. The experience has been terrible all the way through.

One of our windows got moisture between the panes when it rained. The technician came out with a new pane already cut and ready, but would not replace the pane because there was no discoloration or buildup between the panes. I told him that it had only happened once, but that it did leak. He said that moisture between the panes is normal, and that they are designed to let the moisture out. I didn’t believe him. I didn’t think that Milguard would want their name on a foggy window. I have our vendor “Quality Windows” working on this issue for me now.

Hi Laurie - Thanks for contacting us. Condensation can occur because of high humidity and low air exchange inside the home. The high-performance, energy efficient windows of today are designed to be air tight to reduce heat loss, which also reduces air flow and can cause condensation to form on occasion. You can find more info about this in the FAQ section of milgard.com. Thank you.

The window technicians who replaced the windows were excellent. They were well trained, personable, and efficient. The problem is the process took over 8 months. This is unconscionable. The order placed with the technician by Milgard was incomplete. As a result, when the first technician came out he only had half the windows needed to fix the problem. This caused another 2 month delay. Also, trying to reach someone to talk to was next to impossible. I never received a return call. I had to trust the email process which was a complete failure.

I had a high end Milgard French Door installed on our brand new custom home. One of the doors has major issues and rubs hard on the sill. The only way to open or close this door is with a great deal of effort. Milgard has come out on two occasions to finish the door. Both times they said that they needed another part (special hinges) and that they could not complete the repair. At this juncture my door still does not work and it's been extremely difficult to get an "expert" to replace the specialized hinges on this door. The hinges were said to have been replaced but what looks to have happened is they only tried to tighten the screws which resulted in stripped screws. Now I have a door which does not open properly and hinges with stripped screws. Not happy.

I really appreciate the life time warranty. My phone interaction and meeting with person to inspect my need for glass replacement were very positive. Unfortunately I never received a call 30 minutes prior to my appointment for replacement as promised. I had a missed call with no voicemail left, so I called back since I was expecting the Milgard call.
The person had already replaced my glass since he gained access to the house from construction workers. When I inquired why he didn't call 30 minutes prior, he said he was in the neighborhood so just stopped by. Had I not called back, I would still have been waiting around for the call. Would have appreciated better communication since I adjusted my work schedule to accommodate. I was disappointed to find out only 3 days after having the glass replaced in my bathroom that code requires it be tempered glass. While not their responsibility seems Milgard would know this.

He was professional polite, and expertise. He should be complimented. The business process needs improvement. In December I called for an appointment. the earliest was about February/March.

The service call was to address the patio door rollers. Apparently, the patio panels are so heavy they distort the aluminum track. When I called this a few years ago, I was told the track was not covered under the lifetime warranty. I had two choices, replace the frame, that mean I just rip out the stucco, find a frame, and install it or I could have a track insert overlaid onto the original track. I took the latter choice. After a few years, the doors scrapped against the top. The technician reported the patio door weight has distorted the current track. I asked the technician to have Milgard management to call me. I await a call.
When I purchased the original patio doors, Midgard did not make a plastic door frame. My other Milgard patio door is plastic and the weight are not an issue. I am requesting the original warranty. I believe the Aluminum heavy patio door is a design issue and should be covered under warranty. Does Milgard have the original frame to order? What does Milgard offer as a replacement? Please elevate this to executive management. I await a call.

I was very pleased to learn that Milgard provides a lifetime warranty for their windows for original owners. I was even more pleased to learn that every window in our house was stamped with the original sales order so Milgard knew exactly what windows needed to be replaced. I had nine windows replaced along with adjustments to a few other windows. Their customer service and on-site technicians were wonderful to work with. The only issue was the scheduled time to get the windows replaced - unfortunately, their backup was 6 months. Based on what the technician said, they've gotten through their backup and future replacements should not take that long. Thank you Milgard!

I base this review on multiple experiences dealing with Milgard over a two year period. First window failure took four tries over an eleven month period to bring and install replacement glass properly. Second failure was three out of five panes in a bay window. Technician told me there was no failure, next technician admitted there was failure, took measurements, forgot to submit the measurements. Several months later they submitted and gave me a six week out appointment. The glass delivered was the wrong thickness. I then got a three week appointment. Installation was made. That's just two events. I have another two not quite as egregious. I laugh every time I'm forever on hold waiting for a representative from service to get on the phone... listening to the recording on how great Milgard's customer service is. You have been warned, just don't get involved with this company.

Called to order replacement windows under warranty. I measured and called back to place the order. Was told the windows would be in by the following Friday and would be contacted by the installer. Waited... and then heard nothing. Called again, they said they didn't have any record of me calling the first time... transferred me to another person who was able to locate my order... but it still wasn't shipped yet. Waited another week, still not in. Called again, still not in the following week.
Six weeks later, windows were in and scheduled to be replaced. Installer came to put 19 windows in, only about 1/2 of them fit. Could my measurements be off? Of course, that's not my job. Did my neighbor have a problem too? Yes. Did they send someone to come do the measurements? Yes. Back to waiting again, another week before replacements were in again and correctly installed. Overall, the process took almost a month and a half to order 19 pieces of glass and have them installed into existing windows. They look nice, but the process to get to this point was very frustrating and discouraging to say the least.

I have a completely different opinion of the company now, and would NEVER, UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES, recommend Milgard! After 2 years of calling Milgard, having my contractor meet with them, having my framer meet with them, having the Milgard window rep for my area come out and access my window problems, after talking to Pam, talking to Cody and 2 different DiAnn's, leaving messages on Cody's and DiAnn's voicemails and not getting called back, after 2 years of having windows that have gaps in them and don't close all the way, after 2 years of higher heating and air conditioning bills because my windows don't close, they continue to ignore the problem.
In fact, the rep in my area gave up! He tried replacing the moving parts and it didn't help because of the poor design of these windows. He told me there was nothing more he could do. These windows are supposed to have a lifetime guarantee. The only guarantee I have experienced is that Milgard could care less. I have no confidence that they will address this issue! I have literally made so many phone calls to the company, that I had to start logging my calls. Milgard in fact told me that they no longer make windows like I have because they have had so many problems and because they are engineered badly, yet, they ignore the problem.

Simi Valley Office - It’s now April 25, 2018 and we are getting no resolution from Milgard. PROBLEMS; Fiberglass exterior door threshold cracking at unsupported top layer of threshold, stripped hinge adjustment screw, stripped strike plate screw and nut. Servicemen came and took pictures of the cracked threshold on 3/8/18. Photo didn’t make it to supervisor Paul ** until sometime after 4/2/18. During that service call, it was also determined that the best time to take care of the stripped screws and nut would be when the threshold is replaced.
After leaving many messages on Supervisors; Paul ** and Catherine ** answering machine, with no returned calls, I thought I’d try emailing social@milgard.com direct before emailing the company president, and, posting my complaint on the forums in an effort to work with them before blasting them all over social media. I did receive a voice message from Catherine ** on Friday 4/20/2018 4:27PM (just before I was going to post all over social media) asking me to call her. I‘ve called four times since she left that message. Still haven’t heard back from her. Since supervisors Catherine **, and Paul ** didn’t return my calls, before the social media threat, I had spoken with customer service agents; Greg, Marlie, Megan, Ana, and Brandon, just trying to find out anything!
My last conversation was with customer service agent Brandon, Friday, April 13. He said that he had to pull Paul ** out of a meeting in-order to get an answer about my threshold. Brandon returned to tell me that Paul says, “the problem was an installation error, or something to that nature, and to contact the dealer.” I installed the door. I am a Licensed, Bonded, and Insured General Contractor. I have over 40 years experience in the trades, specifically, 23 years as a Journeyman Millwright and Cabinet Maker. I have manufactured, and installed, countless doors and windows throughout the length of my career. My work is precise and my opening is plumb and true.
There is an obvious design error in my fiberglass threshold. The cause is quite simple; there is no support in-between the fiberglass layers at the Strike Plate due to the weep channel. The cause of the cracking is obvious! If there isn't any support in that area, and it flexes as much as it is while there is a tapered strike pressing against the edge of a strike plate trying to compress weather stripping, it's going to crack and or break. Which it has. I went over this with service technician Greg ** during a phone conversation on March 9th and he agreed that it was the logical conclusion as to how the crack occurred.
I’ve read a lot of the Milgard complaints on consumeraffairs.com/homeowners/milgard.html website, and also, **. THERE’S AN OBVIOUS PATTERN HERE. 1- There is always text next to the rating saying, “RESOLUTION IN PROGRESS”. From what I’ve read, there's always a, "Resolution in Progress" next to the review and complaints always receive an apology from the moderator and for the poster to send their complaint to social@milgard.com. WHICH I TRIED FIRST. Yet, more often than not, the posters that do update their complaint say that they are not getting any response and their update is worse than ever. That’s, if they updated their post at all.
At this point, and after reading so many negative reviews regarding warranty support, I have little faith Milgard will do anything regarding the problem, let alone return a phone call. I hope to update and change my review to include a positive result, but, if I don’t hear back soon I’ll send this email to a few more in the Milgard hierarchy including; Ms. Joann **, Marketing Manager, Mr. Gilberto **, Manager, Mr. Dan **, Mr. Jeff **, General Manager, Mr. Bill **, Service Manager,Ms. Kim **, Service Manager, Mr. Dean **, General Manager, Mr. Vishal Singh, Owner/President, Mr. Jim Sweeny.

The installer called to let me know when he would be there and was on time!! He removed the window and installed the new window very quickly and left no mess. He was very professional!! I highly recommend his service.

My wife reported that the repair guy was prompt, polite and completed the job with a warning not to push on the glass for 24 hours while the silicone seal set. Next day I noticed old silicone and paint chips outside the window and hardened gobs of silicone inside the window. I'm sure I can remove those with a knife or razor, but I feel like I shouldn't have to do that. Nor should I have to clean up after. The window seems fine otherwise.

Over a 10 year period we had basically a 100% failure rate on our windows. This is identical to both neighbors on each side of our house (same home builder, same windows). This wouldn't be a completely terrible experience except now they are denying warranty claims because our house was "built" in 2007, but was listed as a model for a few years before we purchased it, because there was a delay between the build and purchase date, they are claiming I'm not the "original homeowner." They also stated random and irrelevant loopholes like "the builder probably left the house without heat."

Hi James - I'm so sorry to hear about the trouble. If you purchased it from the builder, you are the original owner. Sounds like there was a bit of confusion with the rep who was helping you. Can you please email me at social@milgard.com so we can get you scheduled for service? Thank you. Milgard Social Team

We are so pleased with the way Milgard handled our 3 windows that had gotten damaged over time, looking fuzzy... couldn't clean from inside or out, as the damage was inside the window. Jesse was our service person, and he was so fast and efficient we were blown away. He came in, introduced himself and got to work. He wasn't here more than 30 minutes, and within that time, he replaced the parts that needed to be replaced, and then he was finished. Our windows look brand new, and we are so pleased. We would recommend Milgard to everyone, and we want the company to know how fast and efficient Jesse, the repairman was. Thank you... so much.

I had a stationary section of my window loose its seal and fog up. Milgard covered the repair, new window, and was free of charge with 100% warranty. From the time the claim was put in until the work was done was only a few weeks. The repair was done very well and required no further "touch up" of anything after the new window was installed. I would highly recommend Milgard to anyone purchasing windows.

Disappointed in the Denver service department. The first service agent I was told to contact never returned my calls. The second service agent did however. The second agent got the parts I needed to fix my poorly operating windows shipped to me and the local service man installed the parts and the windows seem to be working well now.
At one point I was informed that the Denver location was not in operation due to some upgrade or problem. It would have probably speed up the unreasonable time it took to get my windows "right" if someone had told me or worked it initially through a area office that was in operation. I've heard that the original person in Denver that I made calls to has been let go - Thank God but it would have been nice if who ever takes his place would follow-up with customers. Please note this does not apply to the second service rep. that I talked to - he got things taken care of in a reasonable period of time. Someone at Milgard should look at whoever originally put my windows together and make sure they are properly trained and test the windows before they are shipped. This would have saved a whole bunch of problems for me and my contractor.

Third time in about a year and a half same windows leaking. Windows installed about a year before first leaks observed. Technician seems competent and appears to take care of one problem, but leaks occur again in same windows. Third case number created about a month ago, but no further contact from company. As with past case numbers, customer needs to contact the company more than once each case to get any further response beyond creation of case number.

For the most part the project went well. The quality of the workmanship is why we came back to Puget Sound Windows and Doors. The Slider and the main picture window are perfect. One of the two doors we had installed works perfect. The other one does not work smoothly and catches when you attempt to open it. We had the Milgard Technician come out to fix it and he said really there was nothing they could do as it was adjusted as far as it would adjust. This one door is a disappointment. Everything else was great.

Love the products, Main office service people are nice and very helpful. However people who actually doing the installation/repair skills is very poor. Example: We have one window was fogged and based on product warranty, Milgard honor the replacement. However it takes 5 different tech came at different time to fix the window. 3 out of five: They brought wrong side window panel so need to come back for the right size. 2 out of five: Since it on second floor window. There is no way to climb up to replace the window (????). Again, even We love the products but We will never purchase Milgard after We went thru this type of service from the Tech.

I had 4 windows replaced, had to wait months before they could come out, but they did a great job. One recommendation I might have is that Milgard invest in e-cloths for cleaning the windows after they are installed. The young man had paper towels and spray, used plenty of paper towels, but they leave a residue of fuzz. One of the windows is on the second floor, so I asked if he could use my e-cloth window cleaning cloths and they came out sparkling with no residue. They last forever and probably would end up saving Milgard $ for spray and paper towels. www.ecloth.com I use it on mirrors, computer screens also.

Improvement needed in the area of customer engagement. Long lead time for inspecting warranty work, inspector not informed regarding solutions, customer and managers need to improve in customer follow up, scheduling commitments/ follow through need improvement, working crew showed up and decided they couldn’t complete the job so window replacements were decided upon, working crew took a week to turn in order form, still no follow up as to when the windows will be delivered. Finally, 3 months later and now that the windows will be replaced, I have to tear out all the new remodeled window trim and casings. This could have been avoided with timely communications. Lastly, I have to pay to have the labor install my replacements.

I got a call stating they would arrive, but it was 2 hours earlier that original email. They nicely went on another call and came back to my house within the original stated time frame. Pleasant and friendly workers and the window went in without a hitch. I had explained to them that the room was recently painted and to be extra careful with the area. After they left, I went upstairs to check the window and there was a ding on the window sill with a small paint chip on the floor. I would have appreciated them letting me know this happened; to leave without that explanation was a bit unprofessional and irresponsible.
