    . Buyer beware. Absolutely no support on what was supposed to be a custom window to match the existing window amount of glass. They have to use all this molding because the custom measured windows are actually stock windows and they fill it in with molding and insulation. we would’ve been better off keeping the previous sliding door & window because at least we could walk outside without tripping over the high step that we now have with this sliding door. Absolutely no help from The manufacturer Provia. This is not what we were sold or what we expected. All of the screens on the six windows we bought don’t move back-and-forth either. Extremely disappointing and a waste of our money. We could feel the cold air blowing From outside! ********* in Illinois ***************** -worst company ever to deal with. They were not honest when they sold us the Provia CUSTOM product as we were very specific about the amount of window space that we needed to have. We gave Provia an opportunity to fix the situation and they’ve done nothing. When we spoke with a customer service at Proia, she said all their windows are custom-made. I have pictures to show that there’s big gap in the patio sliding door.. these windows and sliding door that they put in have less glass than the previous windows and do not match the rest of the condominium building as required. We were very detailed when we ordered from the saying that we wanted to have at least the same amount of glass that we currently had in more if possible. We made a point of telling them we didn’t want a lot of molding around our windows and doors as that would make everything look smaller, which it does.. the screen do not move back-and-forth the windows stick and even the architect said it’s a hazard to walk over the stoop of the door entry because too high. They charged my credit card the balance without our authorization, even though we did not sign off and told them these were unacceptable. 

    The measurements that were taken for the windows and door were not taken correctly, which resulted in stock windows  which were supposed to be custom windows being placed in our home.
    We are senior citizens and hired a professional, however, they tried to scam us.  This is bad business as they ran our credit card for final balance of $5700 without authorization even though we told them throughout the installation that the windows were incorrect size.  Please help us!

    Hi ******* - 

    We're sorry to hear you're not satisfied with the products you ordered. ProVia is the manufacturer of custom, made-to-order windows and doors, and we produced the items as they were ordered from **** *****. Since we are not involved in the sales process, we are unaware of what was presented to you, the homeowner, at the time of the sale. 

    We have been in touch with ***** at **** ***** and see from email correspondence between you, that he has answered your questions and addressed your concerns regarding compliance of building codes, the village you reside in, and HOA requirements. Further concerns should also be directed to the ProVia dealer you purchased from, as we manufactured your windows and patio door based on what was ordered.

    Thank you

    On March 17, 2023 ****** ***** a subcontractor of Provia, installed a Deluxe Model **** One Lite Storm door. Shortly after installation we observed a strange foggy/hazy appearance to the glass. I reached out to the subcontractor ****** ***** and I was advised that they would reach out to Provia. Provia advised us that the glass needed to be cleaned with a mixture of water and 70% rubbing alcohol. I followed instructions but unfortunately, the glass was still foggy (not clear). It was especially bad when the sun/heat was on the storm door. I reported the issue again to ****** ***** and they ordered a replacement glass insert. The glass was installed but still the same problem. The glass was foggy/ hazy almost greasy when the sun hit the door. I reached out again and this time I was told that a tinted glass might help. The tinted glass was ordered and installed. A short while after installation and this glass also would fog up. On 09/14/2024 I once again reached out to ****** ***** and I was told that my case was assigned to a Provia field representative. I have had many back and forth conversations with the field rep however, to date no resolution. The representative said he would have to see the glass in person on a sunny day. Since September that has not happened. I did speak with the representative and I was told yet another glass replacement with tint was ordered. I was not even told that the glass was ordered. Furthermore, after 3 glass replacements I feel a better solution must be offered. It's been 2 years + dealing with this storm door glass issue. As a customer who paid just about $1,000 for the door this shouldn't be happening. I suggested to representative possibly trying a different storm door model. One without the removable glass to see if that would correct the issue. I have not received feedback on that suggestion. I know several people who have Provia storm doors but do not have this glass issue. I am hoping to get this issue resolved.

    Hi ******* -

    Thank you for reaching out and providing the details of what you've experienced so far. We apologize that this has been an ongoing issue for two years and understand how frustrating that is as a homeowner. We truly appreciate your patience and willingness to allow ProVia to work on a resolution for you. 

    Our Storm Door Customer Service Director has been in touch with the ProVia account manager in your area and will be reaching out to you soon to schedule a site visit for later this week or early next week. 

    Thank you again for your patience as we continue to try to make this situation right for you.

    I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

    Although I understand that Provia is making the effort to assist I feel that ample time has already been allotted for a resolution. Also, an account manager has already been assigned to my case. I have had several phone conversations however, a visit to our home has not happened. I was contacted by the account manager back in September. Our most recent conversation was on October 4th advising me a new glass sash was ordered (our 3rd glass).  He asked if October 14th would be ok to bring the glass and inspect our storm door. I asked what time and no response from the account manager. In my opinion this is unacceptable customer service. I sent message asking if we were rescheduling our appointment and no response either.  On October 8th I sent additional photos of the foggy glass. I recieved a response " I's it still there"  I advised no.  The fog/haze appears with direct sunlight and heat.  I understand this is a difficult problem to replicate but a new glass sash I feel will not correct the problem. Especially during summer months when the storm door fogs up terribly. There has to be a more permanent solution. Again, I understand Provia is doing there best to assist but we have been dealing with this for 2 years.  I hope we can resolve this quickly because this has also become a customer service issue now as well.

    We had a Spectrum Series Storm Door - Model 291 Full View installed in the Fall of 2023. The door worked great for the first few months. However, in the Spring of 2024 the door began to sag, going from working fine one day to requiring a significant effort to get the door to latch the next day. Due to the door not latching properly, the door swung open and was pushed by the wind, bending the bottom pull bar. This occurred in the middle of a clear day. After contacting the dealer/installer (*****) they sent out a technician who took pictures and made note of how the window frame of the storm door was no longer parallel with the interior glass. We were told that the sagging door is a defect that should be covered by the warranty. ***** reached out to Provia to make the warranty claim, which was subsequently rejected with the explanation that Provia has never had this problem before and therefore it must not be their fault. This is completely illogical and an obvious attempt to avoid honoring their warranty. We have been trying for weeks now to get this fixed, during which time the upper pull bar began pulling the interior flashing away from the wall, ruining the aluminum flashing and resulting in us having the storm door fully removed to avoid any further damage to the door and our property. I am not being unreasonable in expecting a brand-new door to maintain its shape and continue to latch properly. I received a defective product and Provia should honor their warranty.

    We had ProVia windows installed by ****** **** ****** in July 2019. In 2020 we noticed some fogginess in the windows and asked a representative from ****** to come out and inspect the windows. The fog or condensation is found in between the window panes. The ****** rep said that the vacuum seal for the windows looked like they were defective. When there is a temperature change (especially in the cold) the fogginess will appear. We have been dealing with ******, *** ****** **., and ProVia to get the window switched to new ones since 2020. ProVia rep per ******* denied the claim saying it is just condensation, but would still want them to install new windows.

    we have a purchased a house in July of 2022, there were two sliding patio doors and one 3-piece casement window that was purchased and installed by previous owner in 2020 and 2018 respectively. in summer of 2022, i noticed separation and water leakage around the casement window, i contacted the installer and got the Provia account manager involved. they came and inspected and deemed defect to be within manufacturing tolerances. fast forward 1.5 years and the aforementioned window is being replaced with a different brand at our cost. same summer (summer of 2020) i also noticed sliding patio doors catching and trim bowing on the inside of the glass, again contacted installer and the account manager and this time they said they need to see how the patio door reacts to extreme winds. since then, the problem only has gotten worst AND multiple attempts on my side to get the rep to come and see the door during high wind has fallen on deaf ears. today, i was told by Provia that i should only speak to the installer and they can not do anything for me. in short...get any other window and door besides provia, they are inferior quality with subpar costumer service. they do not stand behind their products that was installer less than 4 years ago.

    Yes, this property is not our primary residence, just like it was not primary residence for the person that we purchased the house from, it is a lake house and 80% of people on that lake live full-time somewhere else. why would it make a difference if the house is primary residence or not?!. Does that mean a patio door that was installed in 2020 should not be working properly? 

    Reading Provia’s warranty fine print, no-where there is a mention that non-primary residence will disqualify product warranty. Regardless of how non-logical that argument is to begin with 

    typical from this company to not stand behind their products for fabricated reasons. I have been at this issue for just under two years with their dealer and Provia itself, I am happy that they are sending someone to look at it because their dealer refuses to communicate regarding this issue.

    We are responding to ***** ********* dissatisfaction with ProVia's response to his initial complaint. For clarification purposes, our response should have stated "ProVia's full product warranty only applies to products installed in the primary residence of the consumer". The word full was missing and clarification of this statement follows on exactly what is and isn’t covered by the product warranty.

    We want to clarify the primary residence definition in the product warranty applicable to this complaint. The opening paragraph of the warranty itself reads, “ProVia LLC, hereinafter “ProVia”, warrants to the original consumer purchaser, that under normal use this product will be free from defects in material and workmanship for as long as the purchaser owns and lives in the single family residence, hereinafter “Home”, in which the product was installed. The details of the warranty are as follows. The highlighted text defines what type of property qualifies for the full product warranty. 

    However, the property identified in this complaint is a vacation rental property that can be rented through vacation rental sites. This property is still eligible for a warranty of product with reduced terms. This falls under the warranty’s section, NON-RESIDENTIAL & MULTI-FAMILY APPLICATIONS, which reads, “Where the structure in which the product is installed is not a single family residence occupied by the purchaser, or is owned by a public or private corporation for profit or non-profit, an unincorporated association or other business entity of any type recognized by law, a church, a school, a governmental or public authority, the time periods stated in this warranty shall be limited as follows:  Basic Window or Patio Door Unit – 5 Year (non-transferable); Hardware - 1 Year; Insulated Glass – 10 Year (glass breakage not included); Internal Blinds – 5 Year; Screens – 5 Year; and Finishes – 1 Year “. The disqualifier for this property is that it’s non-transferable for the Basic Window or Patio Door Unit.

    ProVia is still committed to working toward a resolution for the product issue outlined in the original complaint. We are sending out representatives, along with the dealer, to identify the root cause of the described problem and to determine a resolution once the inspection has taken place. The resolution doesn’t change the fact this product isn’t covered under the terms of the warranty.

    Attached with this response is a complete copy of the warranty which is applicable to the products installed on this property.

    We appreciate that you are sending this response and sending a manager and engineer to look at it.  However, when the complaint was first filed in august of 2022 with your deale* ******* ****** the house was not on any websites.  It was filed shortly after we took ownership of the home and realized there was a severe problem.  We were told by your dealer that he couldn't do anything about it until he "hears" the wind and needs to replicated in cold months.  We also have our original text messages to ******* to prove this. At that time it was not on any websites and it had never been rented.  This is a poor excuse to get out of honoring a warranty and standing behind a faulty door and faulty installation.  We had numerous phone calls with ******* and the company prior to anyone but me and my husband and child staying in the house.  Since then only family (relatives) have stayed with us.  No where in the original warranty does it state it must be your sole residence.  We have an additional home 30 minutes away and stay at both properties during the year.  Look forward to resolving this matter after meeting with your product manager and engineer.

    I had $9400 of ProVia windows installed December 14th. I choose the windows based off the description of the windows on their website and the contractor who was installing them that worked with ProVia. Provia advertise that these windows are noise reducing and can be used in industrial areas and depicts an airplane in the picture. The contractor stated they would greatly improve any noise reduction especially as the windows I had were 30 year old single pane windows. I live in a generally quiet residential street, but I hear cars on the next street and people talking loud etc and assumed it was my old single pane windows. Surely new triple pane, aspect, with upgrade windows would be better with obvious improvement? No nothing! There is no difference what so ever. It’s blatant false and misleading then they assume customers cannot afford to take them to court or do not want to spend the time dealing with all the stress but I will not pay $9400 for nothing.

    This letter is in response to BBB complaint 21137948 filed by ****** ******* regarding an issue with vinyl windows manufactured by ProVia. The complaint states that Ms. ******* assumed it was her old single pane windows allowing the sound infiltration. The complaint also indicates that the contractor stated the replacement windows would greatly improve the noise reduction. Triple pane glass does have a better sound transmittance rating than single pane glass. However, the benefit of this will only be apparent if the noise was primarily coming through the single pane glass of the original windows and that the exterior of the home is well sealed and insulated. Her statement that there is no difference whatsoever is a very telling indicator that there are other factors contributing to the sound infiltration and that the windows were not the root cause of this particular concern.

    The assumption that the noise was solely coming through the single pane glass is not an accurate assessment of sound infiltration. Windows are not the only barrier against outside noise. There are many factors that must be considered when making this assessment. What is the exterior covering of the home? Are the exterior walls well insulated? Was the perimeter of the windows insulated and sealed properly when installed? These are just a few considerations needing to be made when looking to reduce sound infiltration.

    In summary, the statements within the complaint provide proof that the sound infiltration is not just occurring through the glass on the windows. The ProVia windows installed in the home do however provide enhanced energy efficiencies over the original windows. Based on the information provided, there is no guarantee that replacing these windows again will resolve the matter due to all of the other possible contributing factors that are most likely allowing sound transmittance. We encourage Ms. ******* to have her home evaluated to determine what other steps can be taken to improve the noise concern before moving forward with any changes to her new windows.

    We want to thank **** ***** for bring this issue to ProVia's attention. A search of our records never indicated any type of a warranty complaint being filed by either **** ***** or the contractor, *** **********. We did contact ProVia's Account Manager responsible for this geographical territory and he was familiar with the initial complaint. He stated the original complaint was brought to his attention by *** ********** and they inspected the issue. It was determined to be heat distortion which is not covered under ProVia's Siding Warranty. The original siding was replaced by *** ********** changing to a different color altogether which was a darker color. According to this complaint, this same issue is happening again. This time it would be more obvious due to the darker color they changed to. ProVia's Account manager did receive a request from ProVia to look at this home a second time. He has been trying to contact *** ********** to set up a time to do the onsite inspection. *** ********** is not returning his messages to try and get an appointment set up. ProVia's Account Managers are not to perform onsite inspections without the contractor or distributor being present as well. We have also learned that *** ********** no longer carries ProVia's siding so that may play a role in their lack of a response to the appointment requests.

    ProVia's request is for **** ***** to encourage *** ********** to coordinate an appointment for an onsite inspection with ProVia's Account Manager so a determination can be made of the issue she outlines in her complaint. If determined to be a product warranty issue, ProVia will honor the terms as outlined in the warranty.

    ProVia's initial response was from information provided by our Account Manager. If we were in error on the statement about color change, we apologize since that was what our Account Manager was told. As the consumer stated in the rejection to our response to the original complaint, there is an appointment set up for representatives from *** ********** and ProVia for an onsite inspection at the home. This will lead to making a determination of the cause of the issues with the siding. Again, as stated in the initial response from ProVia, if determined to be a product warranty issue, ProVia will honor the terms as outlined in the warranty and have the problem siding replaced. The key factor remains to have a determination made of the cause.

    In November of 2019, I paid for smooth steel ProVia door, Model#******* ($3,400 for door and labor). Within the first year of installation the grid covering the glass panel began cracking at its base. Medallion, the installer (ProVia distributor), replaced the grill after receiving it from ProVia. Less than a year after this replacement, the grid began cracking again so I contacted ProVia directly, on November 7, 2022 via email, accounting the issues about the defective door. In response to my email, I talked to Kevin, a ProVia lead person, at 800-669-4711, ext. 1564, on November 8, 2022. Kevin understood the issues and promised ProVia will replace the grid and potentially redesign it so this does not become an annual problem. I agreed to the variation in the design. It has been 8 months and ProVia still has not resolved the issue with the defective door. I contacted the installer/distributor on February 8, 2023, to follow-up on the replacement, and they told me ProVia wanted to handle the grid replacement directly. There was no benefit purchasing an expensive ProVia door. I cannot enjoy this defective product. The grid never fitted flushed in the opening made for it and is not straight. The door is noisy [settling or cracking] throughout the day. The steel gets so hot on the exterior, enough to burn your skin, during the summer. I need a refund so I can purchase a door from **** ******

    This is in response to a complaint filed by Hermain ****** concerning issues with Legacy Single Entry Door manufactured by ProVia.  We would like to offer an apology for the length of time this issue has not been resolved. The heat build up between the full view storm door and Entry door is causing the external grids to bow.  In November of 2022, the offer was made to reorder glass with internal grids under warranty so that the grids will be between the Entry Door glass and the heat will no longer cause bowing. Suggestion of venting the storm door was also encouraged to reduce the potential of heat buildup.  As of February 2023, our records indicate that a representative from Medallion is still waiting to hear back from the consumer with confirmation to proceed with a reorder.  After no update was provided to ProVia, the reorder still remains on hold.  As resolution, we would like to propose that we move forward with the reorder and have a ProVia Warranty Service tech replace the glass with the internal grids option at no cost to the consumer.

    Brought an expensive Provia door with stained glass panel through M&M Construction. When delivered the deadbolt on the door, and the lock cutout on the frame didn't match. Provia made it wrong and it had to be replaced. Since then I have had M&M and/or Provia out six more times because the trim around the glass window warps and cracks from heat trapped between the inner door and storm door. Maybe they should sell this combination, but they did. I have been getting the run around. I told them I am willing to have the door replaced with a solid slab to avoid warping trim, but I'm not paying a premium for a glass window if I'm not going to end up with one.

    We understand the current frustrations you are experiencing with your Entry unit and we hope to have this resolved in a timely manner. Due to the heat build up between your storm door and Entry unit we have offered to change to a 006 panel slab and provide compensation for the difference in cost of the two units. Please inquire with M & M Home Remodeling Services for that compensation amount.  ProVia Warranty Service tech has been in communication with you(6/14) to schedule the service to replace your unit and is awaiting confirmation, tentatively scheduled for 7/21/23. 

     

    Thank you
