Is $250 to repair Marvin Integrity double hung window a fair price?
Project Details
I am really disappointed with the quality of Marvin Integrity windows, which were installed in 2019. I've found that every little component, like the clips and pins, seems to be made of cheap plastic, and they are failing. The "clutch" disengaged, the weather seal frayed, and a plastic screen clip snapped off. I'm considering asking Marvin to send me the parts so I can do the repairs myself, especially since I only paid $200 for the initial installation by my contractor, and Marvin is now asking for $250 just for labor for this repair.
