Home Security Company Ruined my Windows

Hi,

I had our local security company, which many of our friends who have both businesses and residences use, arm our house.

However, for the window contacts, they actually drilled holes thru the bottom sills of our windows! I believe they voided our warranty doing this.

On the NE side, where the rain pounds the house, we already have a leak- two weeks after install. The water came at such a pace that it did not drain quickly enough from the sill and was trapped (there was a little sand construction buildup) and leaked and dripped down the wall. Thankfully we had no sheetrock on yet.

I honestly never asked if they would put the contacts on the base, because there is so much info online about not doing this, and putting them on the side instead.

Does anyone else have this problem, or heard of this problem, of have any ideas?

Thank you.
