Northwest Shower Door - Poor Quality, Poor Service
Glass Shower Enclosure - Complaint

SEATTLE, WASHINGTON -- Northwest Shower Door installed a frameless glass shower enclosure in our home. The glass door was very bowed. They sent out the same installer to fix the problem. His solution was to insert two additional rubber gaskets between one hinge and the glass. When this was done, the door appeared less bowed but was still not straight. Furthermore, the hinge with the extra gaskets now looks wrong - the spacing is different from the other hinge and there is a visibly thick black edge of material showing at the edges of the hinge.
When we told Northwest Shower Door that we weren't happy with their solution, the owner of the business came to our house. He told me that if they had the manufacturer re-temper the glass it might get scratched in transit; if they made a new door, there was a good chance it wouldn't come out any better the second time. Instead of taking responsibility for fixing the problem, he just kept asking what we wanted him to do. I said we wanted him to fix things in a way we were satisfied with. I left the room for a minute, and when I returned he had left without settling anything.
I emailed the owner (Mr. [snip]) expressing surprise that he left in the middle of our conversation. I asked whether he intended to do anything further to address the issues we had raised, but he never responded. Later, in response to an inquiry from our credit card company, he wrote "she told him he should solve the problem. Which he did, and then he left after the conversation." That is not what happened.
Northwest Shower Door installed a faulty product and did not solve the problem in an acceptable manner. Mr.[snip] exacerbated the situation by his rudeness, then offered an inaccurate account of what transpired.

The owner made two excuses instead of coming up with a plan that might leave you satified.
I would opt for either of the solutions he suggested, and tell him you will be satisfied when you have a door that is square and not bowed. What a chowderhead.
This company in *not* BBB accredited. That may work to your advantage in filing a complaint - a non accredited company has not paid off the BBB for a fake A+ rating, a practice that is truly despicable.
From the looks of Northwest Shower Door's website, you might assume they will stay and perform favors for you in the dark of night - yet they appear to have totally failed to attempt to satisfy you. FAIL.
