We purchased the Alside UltraMaxx windows for our home because it was the highest quality window they offered at that time. We have had to replace nearly if not all sashes due to leaking seals which leaves permanent streaks on the glass. The Warranty Dept. has not responded to my written on line request form, will not answer the phone and will not return my calls. I give them a one star rating because it is the worst rating I can give them on this page. They deserve a negative five stars! Very poor quality, shop smart.

I am extremely unhappy with Alside's Warranty Department. We made an online claim in March 2018 for a warranty issue on a window in our home. We cannot get anyone to call us or email us back. I have called the phone number and sat on hold for hours and no one ever picks up. I left my number for a call back and have never received a call back. When this posts it says I am in Colorado however I am in Idaho...

We had our windows replaced by a professional contractor in 2012 and in May 2018 noticed that 2 of the top of the line Liberty III triple pane units were showing stains and dirt on the inner glass surfaces. Per warranty instructions submitted claim for services in writing. After 3 weeks with no response I also submitted a inquiry from their website link. It has been 1 month and no responses to either inquiry. Customer service appears to be an oxymoron for this company - I would caution anyone who is considering purchasing their inferior products.

We bought these windows for the whole house about 11 years ago. In the last 5 years these windows have started to fail. The seal is apparently defective as the inside of the double pane is getting a brown film especially near the grills. About 2 months ago I called for another replace for a failed window. After picking it up from the distributor, I opened it when I got home and found just the glass. It was not mounted in a frame. I called Alside and was told these windows were discontinued. They said it was no my responsibility to find another company who would switch out the existing frame with the new glass. We paid good money for a product and company we thought we could depend...

Alside "lifetime warranty" is a joke - they will do nothing but waste your time. Do NOT waste your money on these windows.

New construction home is ten years old and five windows have all had seal failures, these windows started failing immediately. The company's warranty states that it covers this build quality issue, however when you try to get them to replace them they claim the windows are prorated and they charge you for the replacement. Inferior quality, poor construction, bogus warranty. stay away from this company its not worth having to start replacing windows every few years.
