Power Home Remodeling

Description of Work: This company knocked on my door because they were "in the area" performing work, and asked if I wanted to receive an estimate for window replacement. I made an appointment for the estimator to return to my house the same day to provide an estimate. Even though I told the person who came to my door that I had an appointment later that day, he promised that the estimator would come at 3:30 p.m., and called the office to confirm this time. I then received a call saying that the estimator was running behind schedule, and that he would show up at 4:00 or 4:30. Finally, at 4:30, I received a call saying that the estimator couldn't come at all. This was an entire afternoon wasted for me as I sat around waiting for the estimator. They came to my door to solicit my interest -- it's not like I sought them out. I would have expected them to have the decency to show up at the promised time.

Description of Work: On two seperate occasions, a man would show up at my home, in the evening, as I am trying to cook dinner, or spend time with my family, and want to talk to me, saying they are doing work "down the street" and wanted to talk to us about having work done. First of all, dinner time is the worst time for someone to come unexpectedly. Second, if I needed something done around the house, I will seek out someone to do so. Why would I take the word of someone walking around, saying they work down the street. This is a terrible way to market your company.

Description of Work: This was the classic Hard Sale with bait and switch. Sales rep came out and spent over 3 hours at my home, with the majority of that being unrelated small talk while he tried to establish rapport and build my trust. They give you one absurdly high price and tell you it's good for 3 months, then give a second slightly less absurd price and tell you it's only good if you sign the contract now. They wanted $10,000 to side the front of my 2200sqft home (and 1/4 of the front is actually brick). Like a fool I agreed to the job for the "right now" price of $8800 and was told they I would have the opportunity to cancel up until the time the sales manager came out to do a final visit for confirmation of color, style, and any extras in regards to window treatments and vent covers. We were also told we could change our mind on color and style up until that next visit since no materials would be ordered until after the visit. FLAT OUT LIE. After coming to my senses, I called to cancel, citing what the sales rep (Patrick Hermann) told me. Before I was allowed to cancel, another rep had to come to my home. By this time i knew they could not be trusted and recorded the ensuing visit/conversation. I was told by this next rep that Patrick lied and (coincidently) was no longer with the company. I was also told that all materials were already ordered SPECIFICALLY for my project and that I would incur a fee, I believe it was approx 18-20%. I find it unrealistic to think that they place custom orders for materials that can not be used on other projects, especially when they "ordered" a standard color and style. | |I will say that the fee was waived after nearly 45 min of back and forth with the second rep. Never again will I entertain any lengthy sales pitch for work to be done on my home. That in and of itself is a red flag.

Description of Work: Attic Insulation, radiant barrier, new thermostat, air sealant, and a sliding glass door were installed. | |Power Home Remodeling was very professional and clean. I would highly recommend Power to all friends and family.

Description of Work: Refused to give me a quote without my wife, even though I assured them that I and I alone would make the decision. When they finally did give me a quote they gave me all kinda of reasons why the price was so high but none of them convinced me since I have done roofs myself and have many friends who do roofs.

Description of Work: Some guys were in the neighborhood cold calling. They asked me if I wanted a quote. I do need to have some roof work done, so I agreed to schedule a time for them to give me an estimate. As I was giving them my information, they requested that both my wife and I be present for the estimate. I explained to them that we are very busy, and that I would like to meet with them, instead of both of us. I further explained that we both work have a 1 year old at home. They refused to give me an estimate unless both of us were present. I found this very odd, so I declined.
