Award (how much your claim may be worth): You can receive a cash payment of up to $750 per structure containing a defective Pella window covered by the class action lawsuit settlement.
Class Action Lawsuit Settlement Case(s): Saltzman et al v. Pella Corporation et al., Case No. 06-cv-4481, U.S. District Court, Northern District of Illinois.
Company(ies):PELLA CORPORATION, PELLA WINDOWS AND DOORS INC.
Address to submit a claim form (REQUIRED):
Phone Number to call for assistance: (866) 523-6760
Details:The Pella ProLine settlement will resolve a 2006 class action lawsuit, titled Saltzman, et al. v. Pella Corp., et al., that alleges the windows contain a design defect that allows water to seep behind the aluminum cladding and cause wood rot. Many of these windows are no longer under warranty, so the class action lawsuit is hoping to remedy the losses Pella window owners suffered as well as to extend the ProLine windows’ warranty.
Pella denies any wrongdoing and maintains wood rot can be caused by many different reasons other than a defective window design, but has agreed to a class action lawsuit settlement to resolve the litigation.
Class Members of the Pella ProLine window class action settlement include all persons in the United States who are current or former owners of structures containing Pella ProLine brand casement, awning and/or transom windows (including 250 and 450 Series) manufactured by Pella Corporation between 1991 and 2006.
Class Members can receive the following benefits under the Pella ProLine class action lawsuit settlement if they have suffered past water-related damage, current water-related damage, or suffer water-related damage in the future (up to 15 years after the Date of Sale) to the finishing on the window or to other property surrounding the window:
Cash Payment: Receive up to $750 per structure that contains/contained the eligible Pella ProLine products if you file a valid Claim Form no later than July 23, 2013.
Discount/Reimbursement: If you paid for repairs made prior to December 10, 2012, you can file a Claim Form to receive certain benefits for unreimbursed repairs or replacement of the window(s), including certain discounts and cash reimbursements. Details of what you can get are covered in Section 11 of the Pella ProLine Settlement Notice.
Arbitration: If you feel you are owed more than the class action lawsuit settlement if offering, you can see payment for unreimbursed expenses by entering a court-approved arbitration process. The maximum award available in the arbitration is $6,000 per structure. Class Members will not have to prove a window defect but will have to prove that the “defect” caused the damages for which they are seeking compensation for. The deadline to apply for arbitration is July 23, 2013.
All Claim Forms and Arbitration Forms, together with supporting documentation or information, must be mailed and postmarked no later than July 23, 2013.

I joined this class action years ago, looks like something will finally happen? I have moved since I filed my claim but the settlement administrators number is disconnected and the website is gone. Does anybody know who to contact.
We have had our Pella windows since we built our home and to date they are rotting and moldy. I really think that something should be done for the poor people who bought these expensive and supposely great windows. Not only are the windows rotted and discolored but so are all our Pella sliding glass doors. Someone needs to do something!!!! No company should be able to rip off people to this extent. Have always been following the class action but how dare the court overturn the settlement. As always lawyers get richer and people get the shaft!
Bought our home in 2008 with Pella windows newly installed by previous owner. We’ve had many issues of mold/ice/frost in the winter. Now see it’s too late. What is my next step?
Why does it take so long for anything to happen with stuff like this?
We built our home in 2002 with Pella Proline windows. All of our windows are deteriorating and moldy as well. Did not know of the Class Action lawsuit that was pending. Had a Pella representative come out to assess the problem. Very disappointed in Pella as we found out that all of our windows need to be replaced. They are giving us a 35% discount on replacement to the tune of $9000.00…Makes me sick!
I emailed Lang Law Office and asked what was going on with this case. I was told I was still included in the lawsuit and it was going back to district court and to trial next year. Just wanted to share that little info. Hope it helps
