mw windows

08/09/2006 09:20 AM savannahbray

Do you have any current information concerning these windows? I have more than 50 mw windows in my home; the casements on the front have been replaced with new mw casements and they are AGAIN LEAKING WATER INTO MY WALLS!!! The other windows leak water and let dirt and dust blow in when there is any wind at all! I am at my wits end!

MW Window Rotting

09/26/2006 07:59 PM hunter936

I have the casement, vinyl-clad wood windows that were installed in 1998. Of my 30 windows, about 25 of these were replaced at 5 years due to leaking/rot. Warranty covered this, but I guess I'm on my own when my warranty expires in 2 years. I think they leak at the bottom where the glass and the plastic gasket meet. Any ideas on how to prevent?

Based upon my experience, I would not recommend MW - ever!

Problems with MW Windows

11/01/2006 11:48 PM missalbany92

You may contact me regarding any issues with MW Windows. I have a 3 year old house with many of the same issues I've read on this site - rotten wood interior and exterior, peeling and chipping paint, mold/mildew in walls from leak, etc. Our walls are torn out down to studs now to locate leak and we found that the windows are leaking in bottom corners. Does anyone know specific reasons for the leaks? Also, any class action plans?

You reference a 7 year warranty if I'm reading correctly. How did you get anything replaced within 5 years under warranty? I've found it no use to deal with MW corporate - they are covering up the problem and my builder is a joke.

we also have mw windows in a modular home we just purchased from Pro-built Homes in PA. The home is located in New York state.

We moved in October 2006 and have noticed water/ice build up on windows...contacted company and to-date they have done nothing for us...we are going to have replaced before they do any more damage and then sue Pro-built homes

We also have some serious problems with mw windows...we have ice/water build up on them and our contractor [Pro-built Homes, in Mifflintown, PA] have done nothing for us. They keep referring us to MW windows who sends us literaute on Anderson windows and articles on how we have too much moisture in our home. We move in this house in October 2006 and have nothing but problems with the windows. You open them to clean them and they fall right off the track and tons of water poor out of them. It's time to sue both the modular home manufacturer and MW windows.

Junk MW windows

02/10/2007 02:21 PM snookie

We just had a modular home built and moved in Oct 2006 with these mw windows...they have water/ice on them. When you try open them the silver bar slides off and the window slides out and water runs out of them. Our modular home was manufactured in Mifflintown, PA by Pro-built Homes and we live in Upstate, New York...Are you planning on suing....we are as Pro-built keeps brushing us off and MW windows has done nothing to rectify this problem...the problem will keep getting worse as this house is 3 months old and windows are always wet/soaked.
