I think it's like a deductible. $150 for one or seven windows replaced at the same time.

He was banging pretty hard. I was expecting broken glass.

Why is T&D mentioned? Do you have a new home? T&D is a pool installer. T&D would only deal with things associated with pool installation.

T&D does new build windows, birdcages as well as pools and concrete.

My cheap a$$ sliding doors have to have the bottom glass frame knocked off to replace the rollers. WAFU design? My old house the sliding doors were made so you could replace the rollers from the bottom of the frame without disassembling the frame structure. Quality? BS cheapest route ever TIME IMO.

I utube it. (Utube is great! Where was it when I was young and dumb? Took years for me to learn stuff, now days just google!) Found you have to knock the lower frame off with block and hammer without breaking the glass. Mine been on awhile I sure bottom frame not just going to slide off?

I took the sliding glass door out to put new rollers on and found the were in cases in the bottom frame. At least I was able to clean, lube, adjust, and got the rollers to actually roll. They make racket, but at least the door slides easily, see how long it lasts?

Call them on anything you don't like

I watched the T&D guy replace the side frame on one of my sliders. Just as you described.
