if I would have known complaint sites like this exist, I never would have signed the contract to have Sears Home Improvement replace our shower doors. The sales rep who came to our home did a great selling job and he even had a photo of himself with Ty Pennington of Extreme Home Makeovers so I figured no need to research. He stated the job would take maybe a day and hopefully will be done prior to Christmas and that under no circumstances do Sears hire subcontractors. The whole project was a total nightmare from missing hardware initially then the next day when he returned with the hardware he noticed the doors and framework all being the wrong size- this was after he removed the existing doors. We were given no explanation as to what happened, why wrong size. Approximately 2 weeks later, after the holidays I was told that someone would be out to install the new shower doors and this person identified himself as a subcontractor (saying he does a number of jobs for Sears). He made mistakes like placing the "weatherstripping" piece that goes on the bottom on the top of the door causing a significant gap and we told him water would leak out and he said "no, this is how shower doors are now"...There was also a leak which Sears says was pre-existing but we both said no water ever leaked there but knew there was drywall damage. He also had to mount the doors on the wall instead of shower tiling in order for it to fit- saying that is the only way to get the job done. The doors are approximately 1 1/2" shorter than the older unit. The subcontractor had to make a return trip to correct the upside down piece and about another week passed when Sears sent out a "troubleshooter" to find out why the leak was occuring and he resiliconed different areas. AVOID THIS COMPANY, IT WAS TO BE A DAY JOB AND IT ENDED UP TAKING A MONTH. TO DATE WE STILL HAVE NO EXPLANATION BUT HAVE RECEIVED MINOR COMPENSATION FROM SEARS.
