Dear NOT A FOLSOM SNOB, We have lived in our house almost four years. We also have problems with our windows being defective, about ten, including our sliding door. At first, we thought the windows needed cleaning and then heard about other neighbors having windows replaced. By that time, it was beyond the Forecast one-year warranty program. When we contacted Forecast and the window vendor, we were advised that the windows were no charge but the installation was at our own expense. Could U tell me what happened with your process? Who was your contact at Forecast? Which window vendor? I'm curious since three neighbors on Pintail Circle filed, two of them were not charged, and the third was charged for installation. I know about the ten-year warranty but not sure who should be picking up the installation cost. Thanks in advance. Susan

I've not ever been told that the installation was my cost, I call Pacific at 924-0891. They'll need your lot number. they were just out here Wednesday. I'm having to replace a lot of the replacement windows for the same reasons, and yes there is a 10 year warranty. You've really got to keep on them, if you leave a message they probably won't return the call. I'm sure I'm their favorite customer (hehe), think I'm on window replacement #30. Best of luck

We are purchasing a home in Willowmere Subdivision (I think) does anyone know if those are Forecast Homes? If so has anyone had any problems with windows in that subdivision? Tami

Are those the homes off McAdoo? If they are, they are Forecast Homes, models are on Carter, smaller and different floor plans than the other off McAdoo.

Dear park lady,
After reading some of your quotes, I feel that you are highly missinformed. Do you have any experiance in these trades or any type of backround that would qualify you to be the voice of reason on these issues? I see many flaws in your statements. It sounds as though you are very uneducatded on the items of construction on which you comment. I also want to remind you of the agreement you electronically signed to enter this forum.

Susan and Rich -
You mentioned you noticed fading paint on your home.  That is the appearance at the start.  Then it will fade to a gray to chalky white and all appearance of the paint luster will be gone.  It is actually the paint film deteriorating from the bad stucco.  It's a combination of a bad stucco job (poor curing) and most likely no primer under the paint topcoat.  The minerals or salts in the stucco are eating away at the paint layer.  It is not acceptable to have to worry about paint on stucco for 7-10 years or more.  And if a stucco job is done right, your should get 50+ years out of it.  Forecast will try to tell you it's "natural effervescence" and temperature and climactic conditions.  No - it's shoddy and inferior work and we should not accept it.  As for the windows - check to see who installed yours - was it Pacific?  They installed most of the windows in Willow Springs and were found to have had a very large batch of windows installed that were manufactuered with defective sealant.  It is possible that Forecast is only bringing in Alliance to correct the problem because of the problems they have had with Pacific.  I would insist on full repair on their nickel - those are your consumer rights for this type of defect.  Good luck!

JESTER -
Just noticed this one - Where are you coming from?????I find your comments highly inappropriate. No vendettas on my part at all - simply my opinion and experience as a homeowner (similar experiences to others) and we are all entitled to that. Chill man, unless you are a builder employee or rep who does not like what you hear ---and you are entitled to that as well!

As far as windows are concerned, I talked to a Pacific Window employee and he states the problems with the windows is the glass is from Oregon. Not designed to withstand our high temps. I've had over 30 panels replaced and some of those 30 replaced again. My stucco is also a problem, not sure where JESTER is coming from either?
