    I had a Pella slider before, and I also have Andersen, but after looking at both, I preferred the Pella door. They were very similar, but Pella offered a lifetime warranty on the workmanship and handled the installation themselves. With Andersen, I had to use an independent installer and didn’t get a lifetime warranty. The doors look very similar, but there was just something different about the Pella that I liked better.

    I got one price at the home show, and then when the salesman came to my house, he gave me a different price. I didn’t expect the home show price to be final since they hadn’t measured anything yet, but I was told I was getting a discount.

    The price the salesman gave me was actually higher than the home show price, which supposedly didn’t even include the discount. The discount itself felt gimmicky because everyone was getting it whether they went to the home show or not, and it just brought the price down to what seemed like the regular price.

    I went into the store and told them I wanted the discount I was supposed to get from the home show. Nothing happened for about two weeks. Then the sales manager called and emailed me, asking how my experience had been. So, I told the sales manager the entire story.

    When the salesman called me back, I felt he was arrogant and pompous. He said he was giving me a cash price which is an extra 4% off, but when he gave me the number, I was shocked. The store had already told me there was no price difference between paying cash or charging it.

    I told them at the store that I had received a quote for an Andersen door, and they said they wanted to meet me in the middle. But when the salesman called me, he didn’t do that. He offered me $200 off and said that was all he could do, take it or leave it. The sales manager then asked what it would take to make it work. I told her I had a price from Home Depot and wanted them to meet me halfway between that price and Pella’s price.

    I explained that I wasn’t asking them to meet me halfway to a lower price, but halfway to the price I got from the installer I wanted to use. She agreed and said she could do that because she was the sales manager, and the salesman didn’t have that authority.

    The salesman quoted me $5,200. The Andersen door I was quoted was $4,000. Pella ended up giving it to me for $4,500. So, she actually met me a little more than halfway, because the salesman was only offering $200 off. His $5,200 went down to $5,000, and halfway between $5,000 and $4,000 is $4,500. After I stopped dealing with the salesman, my experience was wonderful. I didn’t really care for him.

    I knew I wanted a six‑foot slider with the blinds on the inside. Two installers came out to do the job. They were very polite, neat, and clean. It was a hot day, so I brought a fan down for them, and they were very appreciative. They cleaned everything up and hauled everything away. Everything went well.

    I had a good experience with Pella. Everything was fantastic, and I'm happy with my door. Truthfully, I chose Pella because they were offering deferred payment and interest. That was the main reason. Master Seal didn’t even offer that. Pella offered almost a year of deferred payment and deferred interest, which was appealing to me. So, I got my door redone right away, and I’m going to pay my first payment in April, right before the interest kicks in. That is fantastic because I needed it, but I didn't have the money right then because this stuff is not cheap.

    Everything seems fine so far. Everything's been great. The installation process was very simple, and the technicians were respectful. No problems at all. The deferred payment option was fantastic. If you need work done right away and don’t have the cash, being able to pay later is appealing.

    I just needed new windows. We had a huge, old window from the 1960s that was worn out and didn’t hold heat or keep the cold out. It was very drafty. I had five new windows set up as a bow window, and it looks very nice.

    There are three windows that are solid in the middle, and the two on the outside edges are double‑hung. They open from the top or the bottom, so you don’t get air coming through. It’s a really nice combination.

    It was easy to set up an appointment. I went directly to Pella’s website and entered my information. They called me back within a couple of hours and scheduled the appointment. The representative came out, took measurements, and then sent one of the installers to double‑check everything. I liked that they made sure the measurements were accurate, since the windows had to be custom‑made to fit the space.

    They do a good job of first taking measurements and then sending an installer and a helper to re‑measure before starting construction to make sure everything is exactly right. The installation was top‑notch. The installers who did the work were really good.

    Don't bother spending extra on Pella windows for the warranty, they don't honor it. I had 2 windows break recently, the only two of many in my house that had condensation between the panes for a year or so. They claimed both breaks were from an external force, but they were in the middle of the night in a private backyard in front of a motion light that didn't go off, with no sign of impact. Their "experts" made the determination and there is nothing you can do but replace for over $900.

    The interaction with the representative from Pella was good as well as the quality of the windows. We did notice the way that the piping was done to seal the window was a little sloppy and lumpy. When we pointed it out, they made sure to fix it.

    However, after the install, we couldn't ever get ahold of them again. We had questions about doing a final inspection and they just wouldn't answer five different inquiries. The initial coordination was great. But once the project was done, we weren't as happy.

    We’ve purchased windows and doors from Pella over the years because of their price and quality. We’ve used the same company, and all of our interactions have always been good. Every time we need doors or windows, we’ve gone back to the same ones. The experience has always been pretty good, except one that’s not great. The installers are very clean and clean up after themselves. If we have any issues, they come back right away and take care of it.

    I purchased windows from Pella. I chose them because of the price, quality, and appearance. And my interaction with the representative was good. I didn’t have any problems. And the windows have been good so far, but we’re only a couple of months out. But it’s never about the window. It’s about the installation of the window. The window can be the best in the world, but if it’s not installed properly and correctly, that’s your problem.

    Pella had better value than going through a competitor, and they had a lifetime warranty on the door. The quality of the job was mostly good. The installation team was friendly enough, but they were a little bit rushed trying to get out before the end of the day. They actually left a furring strip unpainted on the bottom between the door and the tiled foyer. They did a couple of touch-ups on the painting around the door, but only because I pointed it out before they had to leave.

    We’d had some windows put in before that didn’t really stand up, so we went to Pella this time. My husband picked them because he thought it was a good window. They’re expensive, but they're wonderful windows and I’m pleased.

    While they are expensive, they do match the rest of the house. These have the grids in them because that’s what went with the house, casement windows, I guess you would call them. They have the crank on the side, and when you open them up, you can wash both sides.

    Our order was not delivered in the time frame that Pella gave. The first delay was "manufacturing" damaged the picture window and had to "go to the back of the line" so other orders would not be delayed. That is not how manufacturing works. The second delay was something else. When the (contracted installers by Pella) installed the windows, the trim split very easily when they nailed them. So now we have patched trim, it looks cheap. Some of the were windows were measured too short, so we have smaller windows with a lot of spray foam. The installers also trimmed a room we did not want the trim on, as we had custom oak trim we tried to use. Because of that, we had to go several months without trim on two windows, the kitchen and the dining room. We were told by the local dealer they didn't have any extra trim or people to finish the job.

    When the Pella service people finally came and installed the trim. I am not sure how many mitered corners the one person had done before. Throughout this whole experience I have questioned more than once why we picked Pella. As I was telling someone I feel like I was "wallsided" meaning we installed cheap smaller windows. I hope the windows themselves are worth all this. I must admit I am nervous about the pine trim pieces being so bad that we might damage them easily. I have waited more than a month since the last two windows were installed so I might better write the review.

    I recently used Pella Windows and Doors for an installation back in July. Overall, the experience was satisfactory, particularly during the consultation process, which I would rate highly. However, there was one issue that stood out. After scheduling my door installation, I saw a commercial offering a window at half price with a door purchase. I inquired about this offer, but it never materialized. Although I decided to let it go, it would have been nice to receive the discount as advertised. Regarding the product itself, the quality of the installed door has been fine, and I have no complaints in that area.

    I recently replaced my very old windows, dating back to the 1960s, with Pella Windows and Doors. The original windows were thin and significantly impacted our heating bills and comfort during winter. After some research, I chose Pella for its balance of quality and price.

    The process started with a phone call to Pella, where we directly reached out for assistance. The representative who visited us for the presentation was highly knowledgeable and attentive to our needs. We ended up purchasing 12 windows, primarily double-hungs, with one picture window and some sliding options.

    On the installation day, Pella's team clearly communicated what they would do, allowing us to make the necessary preparations. The installation process was remarkably fast.

    Once the windows were in place, I was impressed with the aesthetic improvement they provided. While I can't definitively say if they kept the house warmer, we were pleased with their appearance.

    Regarding cost, I found it reasonable for the quality delivered. Personally, while it's challenging to measure the exact impact due to the cold winter, the overall experience with the Pella windows has been satisfactory.

    I would rate my experience with Pella as 5 stars for their products and customer service, and 4 stars in terms of price.

    Florida Home Owner Keystone Heights Fl. BUY BEWARE. - I had a contract for 23 windows and two doors installed in my home. The contract was for $44,000.00. - Contract awarded in 2023. - Took 4 months before work started. - Windows are manufactured in mid west. Program management was in Orlando Fl. And Installation was in Jacksonville Fl. - Install crew #1 showed up. Could not speak English. No uniforms. Smoking eating and disorganized. Did not use install approved procedure package., did not comply with Oshua standards regulations required for lead paint, knocked holes in my plaster, left cigar and cigarette in yard, eating and talking on cell phones while working. Installed a broken window. - Director of install notified would not come out to observe, program manager would not form out to the install.

    My windows failed inspection 4 times, 5 different crews to correct bad install, mistakes and none compliance write ups. - The windows finally passed inspection in December 2024. - Manager (located in Jacksonville Fl) would never come out to the site and never compensated me for the bad install $600, by the crews which he was responsible. - I notified Corporate, Program Management in Orlando, and Program Install Manager in Jacksonville Fl. : Resulted in none of the offices responding to my complaints both written and verbal. - For $44,000 the windows may be built well only time will tell, built the install failure and lack of responsive managers and customer service resulted in an overall poor experience. Bottom line: Pella contracts out install crews which may or may not be trained, Program managers never visit work sites, crews did not speak English, scheduling and customer service was lacking.

    Our house is about 20 years old, and we’ve done a lot of remodeling. We remodeled the entire home except for the windows. The windows were old, some were cloudy, and it was time to get them replaced. We replaced about 60 windows and doors with Pella.

    They did an amazing job on the installation. They always gave me a window, but they consistently finished well ahead of schedule. I really appreciated that, because our house is exposed to the elements, whether it’s summer or winter.

    The windows were very beautiful, they looked really good. I’d recommend Pella. They’re very professional and proficient, and they do an outstanding job. They’re more reasonable than the competitor, Andersen, which is extremely expensive. But they’re good. It's a good value.

    The salesperson, unfortunately, passed away this year, which was really sad for us. He was an awesome guy who worked really well with us. He didn’t waste our time, he listened to our needs, gave a good presentation, followed up, and delivered. He was really good at what he did.

    As for the price, that’s relative because I want to save money, but windows are expensive. It’s the nature of the market and the industry. Of course, it depends on individual needs, some people might go the Home Depot route. I wanted to make sure I got a good warranty and a good brand, so I went that way.

    Ultimately, we wanted Pella because we got a quote from a different company that was way less than how much a Pella door would be, and Pella matched their price. We got a sliding door and windows from them. The consult guy was great. He wasn't gonna go until we said yes, so they came and we got a very good deal on the door. He was really informative and answered our questions. He wanted us to have a good experience with the company, and he was awesome. The guys who did the installation were great, too. They were super clean and really respectful of the rest of the house. I was most impressed with the installation because we had a funky door jamb and they worked really hard for us.

    Everything was done really efficiently. I did have to call back because we had a screw on the outside molding part that’s a little loose. The screws they used in the door frame aren’t deep enough. One of the tracks didn't really catch the wood in our door frame, so it wiggles a little bit. Also, when you slide the handle, the vinyl squeaks a little bit. That makes it sound a little cheap. In the winter as well, the blinds are a little squeaky, sounding like plastic, which I'm not the happiest with. I don't know if that's because they're not sealed. But besides that, we're happy with every one of the blinds in there. They look great and I am fully satisfied with Pella.

    I know Pella is one of the top of the line brands. I know not to buy the Pella windows at Home Depot or Lowe’s because those are already prefabbed and you have to shimmy them up to fit. I like the way they do it with the laser and everything so they fit right in the slot. The windows are very nice, and my mother loves them, too. She lives upstairs with me and she really likes them. Plus, I got a lifetime warranty on them.

    We ordered 6 Pella windows for our home. The first time they came to install the winners they left cracks in the seals. They did return. Now, as we are midway through winter, there is a stronger, colder draft than when we had our 1946 windows. I have called them repeatedly and each time I was told they would call me back with a date to come repair the draft. I have not heard back from them once. My energy bill was higher last month than it's been in the 11 years we have lived in this house. I would not rely on Pella for windows, doors or service.

    I ordered a whole 4000 sq ft house of new Pella lifestyle windows and two Pella Reserve sliding glass doors and they all came visibly damaged. Every single item from them looked like a used old damaged product they were selling to me as new. I told them I wanted a refund and to return the windows but they said they would send all new sashes.

    This took months, and still all of the new sashes are also likewise damaged, and none of this corrected the other problems with the products beyond the sashes. They are damaged/poorly made with paint peeling, grids cut too short, gashes in the wood, miter joints off, etc. Plus, they are really hard to open and shut, some make strange noises opening/shutting, and they are very drafty. Some are crooked. They keep telling me everything is fine and meets their standards, but this is not how they looked or worked in the showroom. The product quality is not what was sold to me. I’m at a loss on how to keep communicating with them. The manager they sent to my house told me that my kids and dog will damage the windows and doors anyway so it shouldn’t matter that they came damaged.

    Contracted for a $6800 front door. Was measured 3 times by two different installers. Two months later they attempted to install the door, but it was the wrong size. They ripped the trim off to determine this, causing about $100 in damages. A new door was ordered, after more extensive measurements, and another 3 months passed. This door too proved to be the wrong size, half an inch too short. They offered to caulk liberally but I passed on that, preferring an installation crew that can accurately measure a doorframe, after 5 attempts, and a door that actually fits. The door frame is still damaged from the first attempt. Pella wants a 70% cancellation fee, and the owner refuses to talk to me. I will be filing a lawsuit.

    Pella made three delivery promises and missed all three, not only failing to deliver as scheduled (while our contractor waited) but didn't even deliver the whole order. Then, before even delivering the first load, they asked for prepayment for the last load (we had already paid in advance more than half, as required). When confronted about their broken delivery promises, Pella simply referred us to their contract language. Our building project has been held up for weeks because of their failed delivery promises. Our costs have also increased as a result. While their product might be great, we would never recommend working with such an unreliable company whose only position is to fall back on their legal contract language. They should be embarrassed.

    Something to keep in mind is Pella does not warranty replacement Sashes. The replacements will take on the warranty of the original window. It is also important to know if you purchase a house with Pella windows those warranties do not transfer. If you want to replace a sash with a warranty you are out of luck. If you want to replace a sash for a series that is no longer provided (example Designer Series) you are also out of luck as they no longer manufacture discontinued series.

    If Pella can't stand behind their product over a 30 year period, I don't care that they have been in business for 100 years. Additionally, the sales representative informed me he could not honor the zero financing, which I thought was interesting because the financing is through Pella. I discussed this with Pella customer service, and they were just as confused which leads me to believe either the sales representative was misinformed or outright not telling me the truth. In either case, think twice before you engage Pella. They don't stand behind all of their products and the warranty is limited.

    I had Pella come to my home to make sure measurements for a door were correct, since my daughter was getting married in front if it, and my contractor didn't want to be responsible for any mistakes. They came, measured, we ordered the door (a French door leading out to our garden, cost thousands of dollars), the door arrived just before the wedding, and was smaller than the other doors it was supposed to match. My contractor had no choice but to install it since the wedding was upon us. We attempted to work with Pella to get some type of satisfaction but they blamed us for the mistake and that was that. I suspect different Pella showrooms have different approaches to quality - this was the Natick, MA showroom.

The builder submitted the warranty claim to Pella, who then put up numerous roadblocks to getting the repairs done. For example, they demand videos, more photos, from inside and outside, etc. The Lowes Pella rep has already been to the home and verified the defective windows!

    I chose the Pella Lifestyle window for my latest home and was very disappointed with the result. As a custom builder I had often used one of the more expensive Pella series, usually the Architect Series, and was always happy with the result. This time around I chose the Lifestyle for budgetary reasons. Sadly, this turned out to be a case of you get what you pay for. The fit and finish is not up to the standard I was accustomed to and quality control seems to have slipped in the production of the Lifestyle (unless quality control overall at Pella is not what it once was). I chose the simulated divided lite version of the Lifestyle assuming it would have a similar appearance to the Architect series - my mistake for not paying proper attention. Instead of the appropriated sized gray foam insert the Lifestyle has a skimpy bright aluminum spacer and the result looks not much better than a cheap applied grill model.

    Nice salesman came to the house. When he left, my wife and I were positive that he said the installation would happen the third week in October, but later we received notification that it would happen the third week of November. Oh well. We lived with the old windows for almost 20 years, an extra month isn't that big of a deal. On November 21st they arrived and installed all of the windows. The installers said that they would be back the next day with the inspector and would finish the job. The stickers have to remain on the windows, the screws are all exposed, etc.. Then on the 22nd we waited and waited and waited.

    Finally, I called, wondering when they were coming. The answer? They aren't coming. The inspection has to be scheduled. The workers should have never said they would be back the next day. Yada, yada, yada. So, the inspection and their coming to finish the job was yesterday, 12/2. The inspector came early in the morning. Found some screws that they didn't put in, and gave me the option of him just making a comment or failing them. I told him that they were coming at 1:30 so just a comment is fine. 1:30 came. 2:30 came. I called and was told that they would be here by 3:30. Nobody came. Nobody called.

    Today I called. They can't get anyone out until Friday morning to finish this job, and according to the woman in the Orlando office, all they can do is schedule the workers. If they don't show up then there is nothing that they can do. Horrible customer service. What reputable company just doesn't show up or call to finish the job? It is something that you hear about scammer contractors doing. I hope I never need any warranty work, because if this is how they do an install then I can only imagine what repairs would be like. Can you imagine a business model where the attitude is "I will schedule someone to come out, but if they don't let me know and I will schedule them again?"

    Pella did a great job and cleaned up, and the workmanship was very, very neat. So when we needed doors for that house, we went back to Pella. Then we sold the house and moved to Kansas and the back door of the house that I moved into was sad. I called Pella again because I knew the product was good and I wanted the same door that I had put in when we were in Arkansas.

    When we had three back doors put in the place in Arkansas, I wanted the blinds between the glass so that we could shade it out but still have sun. They went over it pretty carefully there. But when I got here, I just said, "I want that door." So, they accommodated me for that. I like the fact they come into the house and sit down with you and go over whatever you want to talk about and measure carefully. So that's how we came to get the last Pella product which I wanted what I had before.

    We had windows put in and then we had doors put in, and then I had the front door put in that had the glass panels on the side. So, we were all Pella'd out in the Arkansas house and it really helped the sale price for that because it looked very nice. And then we could say these doors are Pella doors. The drawback was the time it took the milling. Because I know they're custom-made, but we would order it in February and it'd be June before they'd be putting them in the house. To me, that was a little long, especially a couple of years ago. I know they were going through the COVID thing and there was a supply chain issue, I think, too. But when I ordered the door here, it was a little quicker but it was still 16 weeks to get from the order and half of the payment down to when the actual install went in.

    I needed new doors and the sales guy worked with my budget. There were lots of different options and I liked that the installers framed and did the trim. It was a complete door. They cleaned it up and I didn't have to get rid of my old doors which were the original ones in my trailer. They took everything. I’ve had the Pella door since summer and they shut great. There are no gaps. I got the door handles myself and the reps installed them. They don't stick and I don't have any problems opening and closing.

    My front door had been slammed so many times with my children and kicked open at one point, so it didn't shut. So when the wind blew, my door would open. You couldn't lock it or do anything. So, I'd have to put something in front of it. It's nice that they shut. Everything's all sealed and I don't see lights. I couldn't even lock the door and it’s a little safer that I can leave. I already did a new air conditioner and a new furnace. So, doors were the next option. Eventually, windows will be. The doors were a little more necessary. I wish they'd do the interior or I would have had a couple more doors done.

    I have had past contracts with people that I've asked to help me with repairs to my place, and I pay them and then they disappear. Pella couldn't get them done three months out but any time I was checking on them, they got back with me. I was a little concerned on the day of the installation because they weren't here yet and apparently, they had to go to another place to pick them up. But they showed up and the communication was there either through email or phone conversations.

We thought it was the same as what we had picked when we built our house. Hopefully, these won't have the moisture issue that our first ones did.

    Pella's salesman was very good, and the experience of having the door put in was good. The workers were great. They were excellent men to work with. But we were very disappointed to find out the door was warped after they were gone. We were a little surprised that they couldn't tell that. But we had a supervisor from Lawrence who came. He helped us in the process of ordering a completely new door. That was not a good experience at all as it took forever, but they kept their word. They followed through with it. It made me feel very good that the supervisor came back down and was here on site as they were putting in the second door to make sure everything was alright. Now we have the second door and we are very happy with it.

    However, we paid our bill quite promptly but they kept sending us a bill saying it was late or overdue. I kept calling and telling them our situation. They said not to pay the bill and wait till the second door came. They could mark their records 'cause I didn't feel like that should keep happening. Other than that, all is well and we're glad it's done.

And so, they told me I'm just gonna be on my own. I had to find somebody else. And so, I was in that process and then, all of a sudden, they thought, "Well, we can just do it another way. You can change the whole brick opening so they can..." I'm a contractor, so I could do that.

    I went ahead and started doing it myself, and then they were gonna have to eat the door, the second door. And so, they decided, "Well, if you get the bricks all redone, then we'll put it in." So I was disappointed that Phil, the salesman, came out after we've done everything and he basically said, "You're gonna have to find somebody else to do the other door." And in essence, I said, "I'll just buy the door and get it done myself," and then they decided, "Well, no, we can do that." So I was very disappointed in the salesman's job on the whole thing.

These windows were for some of our rental apartments. So, I wasn't there but for a brief time. They had two crews to handle it and they removed the old windows and put in the new ones, and then did some touch-up painting. That's the one complaint I had. On some of the windows, it was a different color trim than the others. So, I ended up with windows that are not painted the right color on the outside and the trim around the window is different than the window itself.

    The installer wasn't willing to take a few minutes and paint them correctly even though he had the right paint. He wanted to have us stop if I wanted something different than what he had on his work order and get an approval and a change order and maybe a change in cost. I'm not quite sure. So, they're still up there with one color on the window and a different color on the frame that's not right.

    Purchased a full house of windows and doors when renovating. Very disappointed with the poor manufacturing quality (glass damaged in some windows, glue runoff visible all over, mechanisms are shoddy) poor communication after installation and lack of support and accountability. Spend your money elsewhere. Pella is not what it once was or worth the cost.

    Only one of the installers, Scot, had the ability to install the windows correctly. He was very professional and the epitome of customer service. His helpers should never have been allowed to do the caulking which on the outside failed the building inspector's inspection which required all of the windows to be recaulked on the outside. The inside caulking is a mess.

    We met a gentleman at one of the festivals in Atlanta, then he came out to my house and spent some time with me and my wife explaining some options. I had a couple of Pella windows previously, and this time, we got the big double-hung windows. They have a top part and they can open from the bottom and the top. We purchased four of those. Two double windows in the front that have the cranking where the windows crank out. It was gonna be three weeks out before the windows would come in, then Pella had a two-man crew come in and do the installation within two days. They took the old ones out, put the new ones in, and then painted the framing around it and made sure everything was sealed. I was happy with the quality of the windows and the work done. If I want quality windows and installed correctly, I would use Pella again.

    We had gone to a Pella store to get things started. So, our initial contact was with a salesman in the Pella store in Timonium, Maryland. Then he dispatched somebody to come to our house to take measurements and to speak with us further. They were both very good salesmen. The guy who came out was very courteous and professional. It was a pleasant encounter. We had already decided to buy the windows, so he came over to take the measurements and to talk to us about some particulars.

    The installation was a two-day job, but most of it was done in the first day. My wife and I stayed in the house while they did their work, but they did it very quickly and professionally and I don't see any problems with their installation. The quality is very good as far as the windows functioning well and creating a tight seal and they also look very nice. I'm not fond of the handles that are used to open and close the windows. They're very awkward and you could scrape your hand on them if you're not careful. I wish I had known about that. I don't know if I could have opted for a different sort of crank, but I don't really like them, and we're stuck with it.

    The workmanship and the salesmanship were excellent. The windows are very high quality. People should go to a store as we did and try out the opening and closing to see if they like it. If they do, then it will be great. For casement windows that you crank open and shut, that's something they should take into account and decide whether it bothers them enough to look at another item or brand. I don't really care for them but to somebody else, it may not be a big deal at all.

    We recently had a large window installed, the color of the window is 1 or 2 shades darker than the moulding around the window. We notified local Pella of the problem, they asked us to send pictures twice. We have never heard back from them. Their service and installer are horrible. My advice when the window and installer arrive make sure all the colors match. If not, don’t accept the product as they did not correct the problem which is a shame since we paid over 5K for the window. Also we asked several time for a final receipt and have never received it.

    We were gonna replace windows and doors in our home and I did a little research and decided to get a quote from Pella as well as two other companies. And I felt more comfortable with Pella’s product. I'm pleased with the service. We have windows that are double-paned with the blinds inside. I live in Georgia so there's a lot of sun that comes through the house, and this way, they're filtered. I don't have to dust blinds. We did the project in phases, which was another good thing because it allowed me to manage the cost and pay as I went. For the very large deck doors, it took approximately a day for the installers to do it and just a couple of hours for the individual windows on each floor. Pella provided excellent service. I could design the installation the way I wanted it to occur so that I could pay accordingly and not be in debt because I hate bills. The quality of the product was just what I needed.

    I changed a window over the kitchen sink, which made it more picture window versus two crank windows and it added a whole different flavor to the kitchen. The convenience of having it done the way I wanted it done was worth the cost. I hear people say that Pella is more expensive than others, but they can also tell you, on the second phase of the project, there was some wear and tear on the rubber around the seal on the basement level. The installers came with the appropriate products to repair that window at no cost and it was done very well. Then, they had a tune-up where they checked all the windows that had been installed to make sure that they were wearing according to their standards. They were expensive but they were worth what I paid for. I've had a couple of neighbors come and ask because the house was built with custom wood windows and I didn't find they held their seals very well. The Pella quality is better.

    When I came back the third time, phone numbers had changed. But ultimately, I got where I needed to and Pella had the measurements. But if I had a job that was going to be the size and scope of this one, even knowing that it was over a two or three-year process, as a sales person, I would have circled back to ask if they’re ready to do this again. And had there been changes, somebody should have followed up.

    Pella is good to work with. When I built our house, I spent $7,500 on all our windows and ordered them through Lowe's. We had the Pellas put in and the windows were great, but they had a problem. The windows had wood media and vinyl-clad and it didn't work out. I heard that there was a big class action lawsuit against Pella. I never had any severe rotting though. It was just on the inside, and our other window was all together. After a few years, Pella realized what they did, so they started changing the materials that the windows are made of or construction.

    I had Pella come out seven years after our windows were in and we started noticing that there was a bit of water that was leaking around one of our windows. They came and said, "We'll give you a couple $1,000 if you take it off of a new one." We waited too long and then decided to get it done. We replaced that one window with the leak. This was a top-of-the-line, custom-made window, and with labor and installation, it costs $6,000. It's 6 feet x 12 feet, and it took a full day to do the install, but they did a good job.

    My experience with Pella was a good deal all the way around. The guys that came out were very good. They did a good job. I had three windows installed, and I am very happy with them. The price was good. I wanted a fourth window put in and it was one that was going to require a cut in the exterior and interior wall to be able to frame it to put it in. We settled on the price and the guy went away. I got an email from him saying that they wanted another 1000 bucks. I sent him an email saying, "Well, come back out and see me and we'll sort this out," and he never showed up. He never responded to my email. So, I don't know what the deal is. I was happy with the work that they did until we got to this extra 1000.

    For the first part, they were great. They were out here in a hurry. They got the job done. I've already tested all the windows. I'm very happy with it. The windows that they put in are not casement windows where you slide the window up and slide it down. It's the kind where it has a crank on it where you can crank the window open and the screen is on the inside. That's exactly what I was looking for and they did a great job on that. Now, on this other part, I'm baffled. I don't know why I've never heard from them since then, but I'm settled on the idea of, "Well, if they don't wanna hear from me, well, I don't wanna hear from them."

    I was planning on dealing with them for the rest of the windows that need to be put in, but the communication has miscrossed somewhere. You can't ever get in touch with the guy. You have to leave a message for him. He's a busy guy and I understand that, but I did send him an email to come back out and see me and I got no response from him.

    Our relationship was very good with the salesman that came out. Tanner is his name and he did very well. He was a very smart young man and seemed to know his business and I was very happy with that. The windows were already there on the three that they did. All the installation guys need to do is take the old one out and put the new one in, but that can be a complicated process, particularly when you're thinking about the prospect of water getting into the windows. So, I feel like they did a very good job for me on the three windows. I thought I had a great relationship with them.

    We’re previous Pella window owners and the quality of the previous windows we bought was very good. Also, I interviewed three companies and Pella was within the ballpark of what we could afford to spend. I went with them and they showed me what was available and told me what things cost. The presentation was great but the execution was absolutely horrible. The contractors did a terrible job and they made a mess installing the windows. When they were putting the foam in, they dripped foam down the side of the house in a few locations and they got stuff on the screens. They left a lot of trash behind and they broke something and didn't acknowledge it.

    Pella made it right and they were very responsive, though. Billy, the project manager, was awesome and he did a walkthrough with me. He actually found some stuff that I didn't even noticed. But with the quality of the windows, it's a shame that's all we could afford because they're not the best quality windows. Three sashes came from the factory damaged and quality control was really lacking, because they should have caught that. The other thing that happened that again, Pella made it right, was when we got the windows, more than half them had the wrong kind of locks on them. And the locks were the plastic ones and they're very cheesy and break very easy. If that's their newest thing and it's that cheap, it doesn't make Pella look good.

    When we were cleaning a couple weeks ago, we discovered something that seems like it's in between the glass. It looks like it's scratched up. We thought it was a streak from cleaning, but it's not. But as long as the seal is not broken, it doesn't seem like it's gonna be an issue. So, we haven't concerned ourselves with it. But again, that goes back to quality control with Pella. Also, there's a discoloration between the actual window frame and the stuff is that they put around the window. It's pretty hideous. I wouldn't not recommend Pella, but I would never recommend these windows to anybody to buy. Pella has a good reputation but I wouldn't buy these windows again.

    RUN! I had 15 replacement windows installed in 2018. I used Pella because I live in a nice home and thought I was buying the best. To start, I was not an educated consumer when I bought them (which I now regret), BUT, I had issues during install when the installer was started using warped wood to trim in the windows. I asked him why he was using it and he shrugged his shoulders and said, "This is what was there." At that time, I did reach out to Pella and they discounted the cost for me to hire another contractor to replace some trim pieces, but the REAL issue was discovered after the first hurricane came to Houston this summer.

    I have since learned that Pella did not install the windows as per the contract and I have had four contractors and three other window companies come out and have all stated that the windows are too small. The sloppy installer was supposed to put a durable plastic material around the outsides of the windows. Instead, he put WOOD and caulk - not even putting the wood under the frame of their window. (My contract called for the AZEK material and it is all wood). Needless to say, I am sure water has been entering my home for some time, but after the hurricane and a water test, I now see these areas were open like faucets into my home now causing over $12,000 in damages (probably more but I have not opened up other walls).

    Pella has come out and ADMITTED they made an error in the install, agreed to repair what was done, but stated they are not responsible for the damages. I have read their statements in the Class Action lawsuit and it seems they have not learned. I read where the lawsuit stated: Pella blamed the rotting wood on bad installation, excess moisture in the home or would deny claims “out of warranty” without disclosing the defect.

    The employee of Pella came out and KNEW there was an error but did not disclose it to me... He only admitted it once I figured it out. Then another guy came out and was looking around telling me things about my home I already knew and looking for other issues. He asked about my dehumidifier I have in the room (that has all sheetrock pulled out due to water damage) - asking how much moisture I was getting in it.. I make up he was trying to find blame in my home and not the fact that the sloppy installer put two layers of wood around my window and caulked it....

    Both men knew there was an error in Pella's install and still said it was out of warranty. I asked them to check and follow up, but have not heard from them. Their office has stopped responding to me. I have now become an educated consumer and also know that the windows they installed were too small and the sloppy installer clearly just filled in the spaces with wood. They did not make space for my $20,000 in drapes either - they protrude. I learned this week that this is also an install issue - that the window should have been pushed out more... I now am seeking to replace the windows - working with other companies. DO NOT USE PELLA.

    I bought an older house that upon buying it, I knew that there would be at least two windows and one door that would have to be replaced. I called out for some free estimates from three companies including Pella. The other two companies were a lot better than Pella, but they were more expensive. When the Pella customer service rep came out, he was very personable and down to earth. He made me feel comfortable, and I moved forward with them.

    After that, my experience with Pella has been an absolute nightmare. I put the down payment for my windows and my door in August of last year. But I did not receive all of my products and installation until June of this year. They brought the wrong door to my house. It was two inches too tall and two inches too wide. This was after I had to take off work four separate times for them to send their head of installation out to my house to measure for this door. The best part was they had taken my door off, and because of the state that my door was in, it could not be put back on. They put the door back in the frame and put two by fours around it and some foam, and I no longer had access to get out of my back door.

    I have a rescue dog. She came from a very traumatic situation, and she's leash reactive, so the whole reason we bought this house was because it had a backyard with a back door where we could let her out. We no longer had access to that. Our yards aren't fenced in so we were having to haul this dog in and out of our bedroom window onto our deck to get her outside. I was without a back door for over four months before Pella came and brought the correct door.

    I called every person within the Pella company here in North Carolina. I called their headquarters as well. But nobody offered me any kind of compensation for the fact that they destroyed my home, that they messed up my order multiple times, and that I was waiting for over a year. I tried to file with a lawyer, but unfortunately, I don't have the money to move forward with anything. I'm a teacher, and it was also upsetting to have to deal with the fact that I was having to take time off work and lose money. I had to pay for my sub so that I could be out here for the measuring, the installation and meeting with these people over 10 times. But the product they gave me was still wrong, they ruined my house, and I was out thousands of dollars. I paid over $7,000 for the product and the installation. The windows and the door open and shut but they're not high quality. I would never recommend Pella.

    I have Pella windows in the home that I recently bought. I wanted to replace them with the same type of window because I thought they were very good windows. I looked for a local dealership and found a place in Plymouth, Michigan. My experience with their home visit was wonderful. I purchased 18 sets of replacement windows. The replacement worked very well with my schedule. The installation took two days. The first day, there's a team of four men, and they got all the windows set in. The second day occurred the next week when they came back and finished the outside component. It was an amazing amount of work that they did on the first day. I'm very happy with the quality of work done. Pella products are of excellent quality and have beautiful windows.

    The presentation was very professional. They were very knowledgeable about the products and the differences in products that they offer. The installation and turnaround were good. We found a hole in their schedule, so they were able to come out and install within a couple of weeks. They tried their best to clean up as well as they could, but I did find a few nails after they left. But there was nothing too bad. I had them replace my patio door and it works great. It's been a great product so far. I would recommend them.

    I ordered my Pella windows and doors through Lowe’s - it was a sizable investment for me as they are quite expensive, not to mention they had to be specially ordered, produced, and shipped from Iowa to Florida. I wanted doors that were black on both sides and these seemed like the perfect product for what I wanted. I felt good about purchasing them figuring if they were this pricey and custom made, they should be of good quality. I was promised them in 35-45 days but they took an extra month to arrive, setting back my entire construction project. Having them be late wasn’t so much of an issue as it was that I couldn’t get anyone at the company to explain to me what was holding them up. (Part of this had to do with poor communication from Lowe’s which is not a problem with Pella but calling Pella directly wasn’t helpful).

    Everything finally arrived and was installed. I have barely had the doors up for a month and a half and they are already scratched up pretty badly. Any place along the edges of the door where they used black paint on white plastic it scrapes off or is removed when it comes in contact with the other side of the French door. And for some reason, they used white screws on black? Not sure about that decision. If the door gets dirty and I try to clean it on those edges, that also scrapes the paint off. They need to either make those pieces black to start with or figure out a better method or material to paint them with. I’ve never gotten a chance to enjoy my really expensive door without it looking bad.

    We looked at several other kinds of windows. We liked the aluminum clad wood, and the grids we had put in to make panes. So, it looked liked our old windows in our old house. The Pella rep was helpful and very good. Also, we couldn't have asked for anybody any better for the installation. We had problems and they took care of them. It's now much quieter. We live at the country. The birds don't wake me up every morning except for the crows. The windows don't feel hot when I touch them. There are good thermal panes. It was much pricier than what we had anticipated. But we were very satisfied.

    We were researching different companies and went with Pella because of the material that the panes are made of, which is a combination wood and metal. We looked at another company before we looked at Pella. Once we found that Pella made that same kind, we asked them to come and show us the kinds of windows they had, and the consultation was good. The rep, Chris, was good at explaining the different options and gave us different pricing. He brought sample windows with him, which were really good. I'm blind, so for me to be able to feel how things were gonna be, that was really important.

    The crew that were here for the window replacement were professional and courteous. It took them four days, and there was about an eight-week lead time when they would be available as well. We got double hung windows for the whole house, and they're the kind that has the panes. I have an older house, so it was to keep with the style of the colonial type windows, but the choice I made with that was the panes are inside so that it would be easy to clean. I like them very much.

    I would definitely tell people to call Pella. They're not the cheapest in the neighborhood, but they're very high quality and I'm pleased. I can't prove the amount of savings in heating and air conditioning, but I know that's gotten better. Another thing that's really important is I have less sound coming in. I live in a really quiet area but still I can't hear as much outside noise as I used to with my old windows, and with being blind, my hearing is more sensitive.

    The salesperson was awful. We signed the contract in early October and whenever I called with questions, she'd never call me back. It was very frustrating. I've got a couple other windows I probably need to replace and we're stuck with Pella's so they match everything else. If I could have put something else in it that would have looked the same, I would have. I could have saved money too. I could have put Andersen sliding doors in but they would not have matched the rest of the house.

    The only reason I had to replace those sliding doors was because the lock broke. The way Pella designed them in 1997, it couldn't be repaired. Then I can't get out of my house because Pella slides on the outside, not the inside, like everybody else's do. It was the same thing with the other windows. They couldn't repair the broken piece of glass so the whole window had to be replaced because they don't make that window anymore. Instead of spending what I would have thought a couple hundred dollars, I spent a lot of money. We did not get the consultant to follow up and do things. I had to beg. I would keep calling, leaving her messages. I would even call the service department and leave a message about the installation dates because my stuff was supposedly in. That was what they told me in December. They finally went in in March.

    The installation was wonderful. They sent a couple crews out so they could get it all done in one day. But for the three separate windows in the dining room, my brother-in-law texted me and told me it did not look right. They put them in wrong so the center one was operable, but the one on the right was not. They had to pull it all apart, but they got it done in the time. They cleaned up nicely as well. They knew we've been through hell getting to that point. The supervisor was making sure we were well taken care of.

I called and gave the representative all the info and was told I would have a quote in 10 days.

    After a month of not hearing back I called customer service again and was told they saw the request in their system but for some reason it was never sent. They told me they would re-request the quote. Well today I received the quote of $600 for a replacement grille!!! I figured it had to be a mistake so I called customer service AGAIN....and to my disbelief they confirmed the $600 for ONE window (normal size) grille.

    We replaced our windows in three separate orders, and the last installation was this past year. Pella closed down the local storefront in our area and the closest one was not quite an hour away. But it took a while to figure out that they had closed the storefront. I called the person that we had contact with but he did not reply. It took over a year to finally get Pella to give us a call back or even start to process the order. The communication was quite lacking. There were many issues with not getting calls back and getting misinformation.

    The windows finally came in. We got the top-of-the-line windows that had the screens that rolled up. But we had had issues the last two installations with the rolls not working properly and they had to replace them right away. That was something that I checked when these were installed, and they malfunctioned as well. The screens didn't stay down when you popped them in place. I called the salesperson that we had talked to and he told me that that wasn't possible, that there had been no reported cases of problems with the screens and that he had them in his home. I told them that was not correct, that when we had issues with the screens in our last installation, that the serviceperson that came out said that there had been multiple issues with the roll screens and they were recalling them. The salesperson was either not being honest with me or not informed. Either case, it was not good for a salesperson to not know.

    We had wood stain already in the room, and they were not able to match up with their stain of the windows. They came unstained. We were told that we should stain them prior to them being installed but no one gave us any instructions of how to stain them. The windows were so heavy. It was a big pane of glass. It was very unclear how to stain them before installation without opening the windows. Even when we called, no one could give us an answer. We then talked to one of the service people who had come out for something else related to the windows. He said, “That's not possible to do. I don't know why they told you to stain them because you can't stain them until they're installed.”

    There were a couple of times when they set appointments but didn't tell us that they had set an appointment for someone to come out to our house until the night before. We would get an automated message that this appointment was set and that we should be home and available. I would have canceled the order had it not been that we had other Pella windows already in that room and needed to match them.

    It was $40,000 in windows, a sizeable investment, and I wanted to have a relationship with a company that was around and established for a while. I met with Pella's salesperson who came out and a couple of others. But these were replacement windows so I was more concerned about the windows being put in properly. Pella went out on that because they come in and take the whole window out from all the way in. We came up with pricing and chose the windows. We did it in three phases because we did the whole house. The team and I worked closely and well on the scheduling, what would need to be done and how much they would take care of and how little I had to take care of.

    The house is stucco. So, they had to cut out four inches around each window to remove the window, reinstall it, and bring in the stucco people and they did all the repairs. I had to hire a painter to go around and touch up everything. It was an extensive process, but they knew what they were doing and had the right people in line. They were very conscientious about the inside, the dust and dirt, and the cleanup. I appreciated that because I live by myself. They were great.

    I was most impressed with Pella being midwest and working on their windows and testing their windows for the different zones. We have 116 degrees out here and I got these gorgeous huge windows and I don't even need window treatments on them. They're on there for privacy in some of the windows. The ones overlooking the pool are beautiful picture window glass that are stunning. Pella was fabulous.

But that didn't affect my decision. On the day of the installation, I moved most of the things away from the windows. However, the installers started at the opposite end of what I was told they would do. So, they happened to move some of the furniture. But that's fine.

    I have 13 windows in my house and I did half of them at a time because they're expensive. Derek from Pella sold me seven windows and the windows came and everything was good. They did a great job installing the windows. But then my house got broken into and the metal door in the back of my house got destroyed when they broke in. I called Derek and he said they do doors. He came out and I got a triple deadbolt door. He said it would take about a month before he could get it out to me but that he'd put a rush on it. But it took 2.5 times longer than he said it was going to. 10 weeks later, not 4, they got my door in and when they were all done installing it, the old man who installed it said all I gotta do is twist the deadbolt and all three deadbolts would lock the door.

    I was pretty sure that was not it but he said that was all I gotta do. He left and I twisted the deadbolt and there was no resistance to it. I called up Derek and he said I can't test it. When the door’s open, the dead bolts won't come out. I told him that was stupid. How do I know all three of them are working because I didn't think they were working. He said I was probably doing it wrong so he sent me a YouTube video on how to set the door. It still didn't work so I called him back. I asked him to either come out and look at it or send a repair guy out. He called me back in a few minutes and he said he could get somebody out in a week or two and that was as soon as he could do it. I asked for a supervisor's number and I talked to the guy. This was on a Thursday and he called me back on Friday saying he would have somebody out here Tuesday or Wednesday of next week.

    The repair guy came out and he said they didn't install it right and that I could check it. He opened up the door and he got it to work properly. He pulled the handle up and all three of the deadbolts came out. I told him their sales person and their general sales manager said I can't do that with that door and he said those guys don't know anything about how these things work. He fixed my door and now it works great. I sent a letter to corporate and they sent me an email back that said, “Sorry, we didn't meet your expectations for the install of your door.” That was all that they said.

And the guy who was here to install the windows realized it wouldn't fit right away, so he made arrangements for the door to be taken back to be redone. And the first installers were good. The second guy was also good, but he had a problem with the lock. It took several tries to get the lock installed and working. We even had to call him back to the house before he got far away to come get it so that it would lock, because it would not lock. Other than that, everybody was accommodating. Everything worked well once we got it squared away.

    We love the door now. It's an excellent quality door. We had another Pella sliding glass door in the back of our house, and my parents had a lot of Pella windows in a sunroom that they put on their house 30 years ago. Everything still works. So, we knew it was a quality product. We knew it was worth the price, so that's what we did. Nothing else was an option.

    Pella's product line has triple panes with grid and lines between the glass as a design requirement, and I like that they had an install team. It was a one-stop shop. I didn't have to buy the products and then find a third party contractor. I did doors with them, and I've been pleased with the quality. I paid a premium for the Pella products. I had a team of five guys for the installation. They were a little rough on my hardwood floors in the area where they demoed. So, they're built for speed, and not quality control. There were a couple warranty things with the doors that they ordered the parts and came back for.

    We love our Pella door. We love everything about Pella because we have all Pella windows and we have one front door. Last time, we didn't do a loan through Pella. This time, we did. We didn't like how it took a while for us to get the paperwork that said who we were doing the loan through. We kept getting messages from this company, and we didn't know who they were, and we didn't pay our first installment right away because we were concerned about who they were. Finally, we did get a statement that says that they were the ones that were doing the loan for us. Our biggest frustration was just not knowing. Then they said, “Well, now you owe us 880.” I said, “Well, we didn't know until now that you were the ones that we were doing the loan through.” They said, “Well, you're gonna have to pay the full amount,” which was a lot. We said, "No."

    I started sending them payments, and they never bothered us again, but that was a confusion. It took them a while to send us a statement, and so that was the biggest concern. Other than that, the doors are great. The threshold’s fine. Everything is good. When we bought our property, we already had Pella windows and doors. We were very happy with them, so we just stayed with them. We bought a very expensive door through them for our front door. Also, we had to match up our sliding glass door with our other ones because we had other ones and we didn't wanna change to a different brand because then they wouldn't match. The installations have been good. We had a lot of problem with our latch on our front door. We had the service out four times. Finally, we got that corrected. Now, the latch is solid. It was a very expensive door, so we kept at it until we finally got that fixed.

    We had another thing that took a long time. It was a piece that was a different wood than our door itself, and it didn't match and we had white specks in it. That took about three months to get resolved. Finally, it did get resolved. This was when we first got our door, and they sent out a guy who did staining and fixed it. As far as the price, it's very high. We might have tried some other companies, but we did get a good value for the price. It's on the high end, but we knew that, and we decided to continue with Pella because the product is exceptional. I like the company a lot. I feel good about what we received.

    Pella’s done two jobs for us in the last year. They put in a bay window for us. The bay window came but it didn't look like any of the joints fit together properly. It took us a couple of months for them to agree to get us a new bay window. The workman that took it off the truck looked at it and said, “This isn't much better than the one you've got,” We still have the same defects. What we did was let them do some cosmetics on the one that they installed originally. The people they did the best job they could with what they got but the quality of the bay window construction is not very good. We don't think Pella has very good quality control and manufacturing.

    Then we had a door installed with decorative window and privacy glass. We showed the installer a picture of what the specs said and he agreed that the window was missing a lot of the decorative glass. He said that he would take care of it, go back to the company and let them know. But we never heard anything. They gave us a number to call and an email address. It's like they didn't believe us. They said, “No, that's the window you ordered.” It might have been the style of window, but a lot of the panes in the window were not privacy glass. It was clear glass.

    We've been fighting with them for a couple months now to get somebody to come out and look at it. We've sent them comparison pictures, but there's no response. They don't even bother to respond to our emails or our phone calls. They just keep sending us bills, and we keep calling them up and telling them the work has not been completed to our satisfaction. Then we never hear from them again until we get the next bill. It's been very frustrating working with Pella. They're terrible with responding to customers’ problems and we don't think we’d deal with them again. If we had our choice, we’d go with Andersen even though it costs more.

    We used Pella for our basement windows when we bought our home, so when we had a front bow window that was leaking, we figured we'd stick with the same company if possible. The rep was helpful and informative, and the installers were good. They seemed efficient and on top of it. They kept the space organized, and it seems like they installed the bow window very neatly. However, we felt that the surface material on the seat board and the headboard was a little misleading in the description originally, so we called out the project manager again just to take a look.

    It was like a laminate coating over top of wood, which is not what we were expecting it to be, because we thought it was solid wood. Besides that, the window is solid, and the construction is good. It's not leaking, so that's a huge plus. We added screens on two of the windows so they could open, and that's been really nice on days when the weather is a little cooler. Overall, it's a beautiful window. It looks really nice and it's functional. It just wasn't as durable on the seat board as we were hoping. We have a toddler, so we're trying to keep him off of it as much as possible.

    This is the worst product ever! $11,000+ MISTAKE! We bought Marvin replacement windows in our previous house and loved them. Had we found sliding glass doors with room-darkening blinds enclosed within the panes of glass we would have gotten those. However, we only found them in the Pella showroom. Their salesman came, measured and promised us everything we were hoping for. The installation left us with a rough step in our bedroom that was likely to hurt one of us. After our complaining, they returned and found an acceptable solution. The blinds were extremely difficult to slide up and down. We were told they'd "break in." They never did.

    Then a haze formed within the panes of glass. No amount of washing inside or out improved this. They came to look and tried to wash the window. No improvement. They ordered replacement panes. We waited 4 months. They came and took the frames apart and replaced the glass. Here we are 5 months later and the glass is cloudy. And the blinds still don't go up and down smoothly.

    The consultation with the rep from Pella was good. We were shown windows and grids but we didn't want grids. She explained it wasn't gonna be grids but this was just an example of the window. Once we got through some of those initial questions, it was okay. We hit a snag with the installation though. When she initially quoted us, we were putting our house on the market and we explained to her what our deadline was for listing our house. And she said that was not gonna be a problem and they would be able to accommodate those dates. We placed the order, paid our money, and the next thing you know, it was two weeks later. It was delayed for maybe three weeks so we called and said we needed them to rush this. I asked if there was anything we could do and they said they would keep us posted. But we never heard anything. We had to keep calling and we were never able to change the date.

    Two days before this extended date, we got a call from Pella and they said they were gonna have to delay our windows. Somebody at the warehouse broke our big window that's going into our kitchen. They offered to send us sample windows and I can put them in our open house. The house is going is listed and the following weekend, we're gonna go live on the internet. And we didn't want those windows there because people are gonna see the old rotted windows. So we said it wasn't acceptable and we needed something done. We asked if there was some other order that they could take our windows from and what other solutions.

    I was calling and our rep was not calling us back. But the installer was. They were able to install it on the date that we were told. So once the installation happened and the crew got there, it was very quick and seamless. They cleaned up after themselves and did a great job. We’re very happy with the crew that installed the windows. We looked through them and they were great windows. They were of good quality.

    Those few weeks of not hitting the market at the right time affected our sales and we probably got less money for our house. Based on other competitors coming on in our neighborhood, had we been on the market earlier, that wouldn't have happened. So, it was a big deal. And then there was something weird about Pella charging our credit card so early. I would have thought that they would have charged our credit card closer to it. But it may have been something to do with the fact that one of them was a custom window or custom shape. They took the full payment ahead of time. That would have been a little bit harder for us to have any kind of recourse with this whole situation.

    I didn't understand Pella is a brand and they have distributors or groups that represent them. And calling one office in Gwinnett versus the office in Atlanta versus the office in Shamley, there was a little confusion on my part when I was trying to get in touch with the right people. I had to figure out the website on my own when I called the one place and they said I probably dealt with the showroom XYZ. And then I had to call the XYZ showroom and go from there.

    Had a nightmare experience with this company getting two windows replaced. The company is very disorganized and confused. I was told during sale that installation was included, but after I paid, was told over and over again that installation is not possible and I would need to pay thousands extra with other companies to bring it up to my apartment and install.

    The company also canceled two delivery dates without telling me. It was supposed to be delivered and finished within the first week of June. I was only able to convince them to deliver this week after much pleading and negotiating. They told me it was set in stone this time, but this company doesn't send out confirmation email or anything so you will be calling them to remind them for days before the actual delivery, and even then they will give you a 6 hour window and not know when the delivery will happen at all. They told me to call at 8am on the day of the delivery and they will "try to track" the driver. It's 2024, this is unacceptable.

    I thought the date was set but got a call yesterday saying the delivery was scheduled for the 25th of september, from their INSTALLATION DEPT that they had refused to give me the contact info for for MONTHS! I had already hired other companies because they had been adamant about not being able to do installation.... What a nightmare. The delivery man told me on the phone that this company has dropped the ball on a lot of other jobs as well in the tri state area. Please take it from me, use a different company!

    Quality of Pella Windows needs to be evaluated over time. We just had the windows installed. They seem cheaper made than the original 20-year-old windows that came with their home. The window seems thinner as far as the glass that they're made of. So not exactly sure how they will hold up over time and how they will do on soundproofing. As of right now I'm giving them a three just because their quality doesn't seem nearly as nice as the windows that came with their home 20 years ago and then original track type home.

    Our slider was broken and we know that the two windows we replaced were having leaking issues. They were original to the house. We contacted Pella due to their reputation. A nice and very thorough guy came out. The only issue we had later is that he had put in the slider opening on the opposite side, so instead of going one way, it went the other way. The guy that came out after him was able to look at things and fix it. Also, we had a black door, but he put down a white handle. Fortunately, the guy that came out later reviewed the order and went, “You didn't ask for a different handle, did you?” So the salesman guy made two mistakes, but he was pleasant and knew what he was talking about.

    The installers were quick, professional, and knew what they were doing. We did have one issue that we realized later. The handle for the slider on the outside got broken when they put it in, so we had to call for somebody to come out and fix that. Unfortunately, we didn't see it when the guys put it in because there was some sort of seal on there so we couldn't really open the door for three days. Overall, our experience with Pella was worth the additional price. This is very much a you-get-what-you-pay-for, so to me, it's worth it for the quality I know it is. You can find the price cheaper, but it's a quality thing. We're happy with them and we don't have any issues.

I reached out to the salesman that I'd interacted with and they never got back to me, which I found odd. It made me wonder whether I would work with that sales representative moving forward for any other projects. But the installation team made arrangements and eventually got the handle swapped out a few weeks later. It took a while, but they came and they got it replaced.
