Thanks for your help.

Some of our Kinro windows have NEVER opened correctly and although we paid to have some of the springs and tension bars replaced they still broke! I'm not happy with them especially since we paid extra to upgrade them! ugh....

Our front door is the main culprit and I feel needs to be replaced as it's never closed just right. I adjust the screws from time to time depending on the weather and that has helped some.

We are sitting on a huge hill of granite and d.g. so we are very stable. Our crawl space isn't as deep as we'd wanted and when they set the house we couldn't change it. We can shimmey under there with some difficulty, but there's not much room and you have to go on your back.
A slab foundation would have cost us $20K! so that wasn't an option! =(

Thank you for your wisdom!! Any other suggestions are welcomed!

Sorry about the vague description. About 1/2 of the windows are great. Some of the windows are just a bit resistant to open and close. Some of the windows have had issues from day one. Had someone come from the place we purchased from and he blew me off saying I wasn't using enough pressure etc.. Knew he was not wanting to deal with the issue and didn't want him coming back, so we lived with it.
After having several windows become inoperable called a window tech out to ck it out. He knew very little of how to operate the windows even though the window company used him as a reference to call. He ordered new springs and tension bars which we paid for, and came and installed them weeks later when they arrived.
They worked for a short while and then the same issues started again. Difficulty in opening and closing. I don't mean a little, it's obvious when the window you are dealing with has issues as it opens much different than the normal ones that operate as they should. We have 3 sections to our home and they are on opposite sides of the middle section as there are only 3 windows in that section. The problem windows will go up, but the tension bar comes out (goes to the top causing us it to barely go back down and we end up not using it at all. The inards of one window came out completely and we have to prop it up if used at all. We are NOT hard on the windows as I'm sure could be surmised. We are frustrated and I've even taken the time on several occasions to fix them somewhat myself. It's a learning process, but I've been able to do it. Inevitably they do the same thing soon after.

I hope this gives insight on our issues.
Now the front door is a minor annoyance. It isn't level, as it opens up toward the wall when left open. I do adjust the screws so the top corner doesn't hit the frame when it expands or shrinks from the heat or cold. I'd like to replace it with a larger door, but would have to create a larger opening and not sure if that is doable. There is just enough space to allow for the larger door however.
I'm thinking it wasn't installed correctly as this too has been an issue from day one.
Heck our home was ready to be delivered when we noticed at the plant that there was no heater unit installed in the cabinet it fits in!! That delayed us a bit among other things.
I will say we are happy with our home for the better part, there are things we should have put our foot down on and insisted upon, but we backed down when told it wasn't needed for sure.

Thank you for your insight, it's very much appreciated!!!

If nothing else get some support and it don't take much on the outside edge every so often. It will make a huge difference in making it seem more solid also.

just a helpful FYI

I have also been pretty frustrated with the Kinro window and then I told the repair guy about it and he replaced the springs and no more problems other then if you do not hold your tongue just right it can be hard to shut the windows down all the way to lock them. And don't you just HATE the paper labels they left on them to be scraped off with razor blade!

Do not give up on getting your repairs done. We have already had a MONTH time where workers have been in our house repairing. Even next week they are coming back to put in the SECOND new vinyl floor in kitchen. This is such a pain but with as much as we paid it NEEDS to be right. They are the ones keep screwing it up.

We have also had the front door replaced once and had a little trouble with the doors closing right. It they are not shut hard they do not shut well. HATE slamming doors. And the door knobs have been replaced a couple of times too. Sigh.

I am not giving up until it is all done right.
