Cedar wood solarium

We had our solarium built 12 years ago, last year it started to fail in that various minor leaks occurred. We don't know why and we did not have a good service for backing up the repair up to this moment. One glass just failed recently.

Tbe repair has been carried out and the owners have come to my house twice. It costs me $3700 and the owner is confident that we should be enjoying a leak free solarium for quite a while. If you do not see any follow up from now, it means that I have no more problem with this solarium.

Approximate cost of services:
$12,000.00

PLEASE SEE BELOW THE CONDENSED VERSION OF THE ACTUAL DIGITALLY RECORDED SERVICE HISTORY FOR THIS 14 YEAR OLD PROJECT :
Small 2nd storey sunroom bump out completed and signed off by customer on 07/27/1995.$15,500.00 paid in full /23 pcs of glass in total. SERVICE CALL for 1 broken piece of glass jan 1999. No warranty on impact related glass breakage so Service Agreement sent and executed / glass replaced 3/16/99/ customer put through home insurer due to nature of fracture. paid by insurer SERVICE CALL 10/02/2003 small leak reported. Service man to site same day / minor glazing repair ,less than 1 hour ,no warranty (8 years old) so invoice sent for 95.00 plus tax /rec'd payment 6 weeks later/SERVICE CALL 3/26/2009-customer reported ice damm/ PW inspected (no charge) and sent Service Agreement for installation of deicing cables 4/3/2009 by e mail. No reply from client so filed SERVICE CALL 7/13/2009-client suspects one failed sealed roof glass unit (10 yr manufacturer warranty on glass expired 2005) PW spoke to client via voice and e mail 7/13, 7/25 (sat), 7/28...upset that he has to pay for service at all let alone at 95.00 per hour ( one man/one truck rate )and that he has 1 piece of glass (of 23) with a failed hermetic seal after "only "14 years . Despite the fact PW neither manufactures nor warranties glass and regardless of the fact client is in possesion of our written 5 year Perma Wood Warranty certificate from inception (and refaxed at his request in 1/12/1999) stating our policy in this regard he is suggesting, well now stating, that PERMAWOOD doesnt stand behind its product. To anyone reading this ...you be the judge ,Thank you
