I purchased my home 3 years ago and was told that the windows were Jeld-wen windows. Had I known that Jeld-wen bought Caradco, I would have NEVER purchased this home! I had caradco windows in my previous home and they were rotting and leaking and now in this home, I have even worse problems with the windows. When I contacted the company last year, I was told that since the home was built in 2000, that my warrante had expired and that I would be responsible for replacing the rotten windows. Now help me understand, I paid almost a million dollars for this home and now I have to pay again for the rotting, leaking windows - .......

- DON'T BUY CARADCO WINDOWS
I understand your "pain" which is like thousands of others across the USA. It appears that when Jeld-Wen purchased Caradco in 1997 from Alcoa they did not grasp the idea that their pine-made wood windows parts should be sealed, rather than primed, and when they cut the wood (sills, sashes, etc.,) to length for a particular size window it left the ends as raw exposed wood all susceptable to rot? In 2004, Jeld-Wen finally developed a process called "Auralast" which has maybe stopped this rot or rotting?
