Were they the only bid that you got? Did you see a sample of the window?

Weird and disappointing. Sorry. Can you find out what paint/color they used and paint it? They look nice other than that.

We got one other bid that was much higher through a glass company that out sourced so we would be paying the contractor markup. They did not have a sample to see, but they were highly ranked and reviewed and had many photos. They just took all photos straight on so you couldn't see this. Unfortunately paint isn't a great option on vinyl. I'm not sure what is different about how they do it in the factory but in the field it is hard. Overall I think we're stuck unless we want to replace them all. I'm just telling everyone to avoid Window World- absolute worst contractor we dealt with on this project and we completely gutted the house so we dealt with a lot of different businesses.

Good to warn everyone. I believe there are some ways to paint it with proper prep…washing, sanding, drying, dusting, proper priming products…if the choice is to replace completely… worth a bit of research incase there’s a special product out there. Sorry.

Then never open😞

Good idea, too bad you weren't warned as their reputation precedes them.

Not on the jamb liners, they paint will last at all.

I'm going to try on at least a few since the worst offenders placement wise are windows that won't ever be opened- they're in an unused bathroom above a bathtub and will probably be swapped for fixed opaque windows and the tub made into a shower if we decide to use that space for more than a closet in a few years.

Looks like the screens aren't installed in these pictures? Once those are on that will make a noticeable improvement.

I'm no advocate for that company or their products, but as MWM somewhat alluded to, those areas will be treated in a simliar way on most other products and for the reasons that he mentioned.

The first photo is witb screens- the others are not. The screens help on some windows but not on others and unfortunately the worst ones are right by the front entry and the angle of the walk makes them super obvious.

I’ve looked at other companies since the issue came to light and they are at least up front with the information rather than only taking straight on photos. Most white areas are also smaller. Also worth noting that window word does paint the jams if you get the interior painted the same color so they can be painted.

They say the paint issue is an equiptment issue because theyd get too much overspray if they did that but there is overspray on every window as is

Fair points. Each window will show that a little differently based on the design, some are worse than others as you've mentioned.

I wasn't aware that Alside was painting window interiors these days. That's not a common feature across vinyl manufacturers, they generally try to avoid "friction points" of the window being painted, IE: the jambs where the weatherstripping rides.

That overspray on your interior is alarming, there's really no excuse for that.
