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. Avoid Mountain View Pella in Colorado Springs.

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.

We purchased a Pella sliding door for our dining room. The original was cheap and the windows were not sealed and started to fog. So we purchased this sliding door from Lowe’s to replace the original. My complaint is that the cold wind that comes in between the two sliders during the winter is horrible! I can’t seal it off as the door is used to let the dogs out daily. I wish I would have known this prior to purchase. I probably would’ve gone with Anderson!

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.

We purchased a new home in Pueblo, CO. It has Pella windows sold by Lowe's of Pueblo installed, with a one year warranty. Several of the windows developed leaks, with condensation between the panes in the first few months. We took photos and asked the builder for a warranty repair. 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 would NOT recommend Pella windows to anyone. They are poor quality and Pella does not back their warranty.

We went through Lowe's to order a Pella custom door. After being quoted 1-3 weeks, the final door was installed 6 months later. The picture attached is how the door was presented and installed. This is after installers had previously presented 2 other doors (not as ordered). There has been no compensation from Lowes or Pella. They have sent out a paint touch up kit which my family is now responsible to paint a brand new, nearly $4,000 door.

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 built our house and the entire thing is Pella and we wanted windows to match. Our purchase had a total of 11 items. There were two doors and nine windows. Our experience was very easy. The rep came out and measured. We knew some needed to be replaced, but he checked everything over to see if there were any other problems and gave us advice on that. Then the order was made and payment was easy and then they were here.
The installation went well. The installers were here not as long as they had expected and they cleaned up after themselves well and everything looked nice. We liked the quality of the products. 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. We had a French door there and now it's a sliding door and we definitely like that a lot better. Other than that, we would not even know that there was a change because they match exactly with the old ones and with everything that's existing.

Initial interaction and customer service was fantastic. Once I signed the contract, I was not able to get a response from the salesperson. The project manager assigned to us, haven’t heard from him since the only day we met. We were told 6-8 weeks, max 10….It has been 6 months. They finally installed some of the windows 3 weeks ago which look great. I cannot yet speak to quality. Nobody can tell me when the rest will be installed.

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.

We looked at two companies and we took Pella because they were a little less money. They had a salesman come out and he did fine showing us the products and what he had to offer. It took the installers about a day to install each door. We had two different people come out and measured it and one of the doors they couldn't get to work. 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. A lot of back and forth. The job went from what should have taken a short amount of time to several months.

I needed replacements windows, and we had Pella to start with. So, I got Pella replacements. Their rep was friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. 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.

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.

Pella has quality products and I believe that they'll always stand by their word and everything that we've read regarding their products. We felt comfortable with Pella as a company that we can trust. My wife handled everything, but she did update me and tell me that they came in, they described exactly all the different options that we had, and she felt very comfortable with the experience and felt that we were getting better quality windows and that it was going to save us a good, considerable amount of money as it relates to our heating and air conditioning costs. The installation was done without me having to be there and she was very happy that they were on time as well as thorough.
We purchased the pane glass windows. They have some type of reflection that allows to repel some of the sun. I liked the look of the windows. I liked the information that I read in the brochures regarding the durability as well as the warranty. So, I'm very pleased because we had an older home and I can feel a lot of the draughts have been eliminated just by getting the new windows. My wife is very hard to please and she's what I would call the home engineer and I do all that I can to put us in a financial position that she can have everything that she wants, and when she's satisfied, then I'm happy. I can tell that she was very satisfied with the quality of the service. Everything that they explained, she understood and I was more than willing to go with it.

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.

I like the style of Pella's windows and the versatility of items that they had in paint. I like having my dual color of black on the outside and white on the inside of the windows. I got two windows. One was a kitchen window, and one was for a bedroom. Installation was seamless. I work from home, so I just moved out of whatever room they were working on, but it was quick. It was not rushed. It's reliable. Their crew came in and demoed, and then installed the window within the day. So, I was pleased about that. The quality is really good. I get many compliments on it. I most likely will use them again to outfit the rest of my home. I would suggest my friends and family to do the same.

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.

Even if not compared to the other companies that we talked to, it was just great. The whole process was really smooth.
The installation was pretty awesome too. We expected it to go more than a day just because we got an automated message telling us that we should prepare for it to be in one or two days. It was really hot at the time when the installation happened. So, I was totally expecting them to say, “Okay. We're doing so much today and then we're gonna come back for this tomorrow.” But they finished it in the same day. Everything looks amazing and the quality is just as we had been told the whole time. Now that we have the new windows, the house is a lot cooler and it's comfortable in the rooms. Before having the windows, it was impossible to go in there in the summer because it was too hot.

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 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 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.

They delayed the delivery of the original order by 3 weeks and when the shipment arrived it was missing 3 windows. Then they inform us that will be sent 2 weeks later. It's holding up the whole project as the siding and the trims and electric can't be finished. Absolutely ridiculous customer service.

I bought Pella windows for my entire home when we were renovating it. As you can imagine it was a big expense. After many years one of the grilles broke and I went to the Pella store for a replacement. They told us they don't carry grilles and we would have to call customer service to request a quote on a replacement grille. 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. I can't believe they are taking such advantage of their customers!! I will never buy another Pella item. If you go ahead and purchase anyway, good luck with customer service.

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.

We got two windows and three doors through Pella. We had a prior experience with them. Their product quality is probably the highest in the industry. The only thing is, in the beginning, I had to pull teeth from the salesman to get more detailed pricing on it. There was lack of some details on their website that I would go for. Maybe some other consumer wouldn't mind it, but there were questions that I had even looking at the website that I had to get answered once the sales rep came in. Installation went very well. They were here first thing in the morning and gone by late in the day. We talked about the installation, which windows, which doors were gonna be replaced, and how long it would take them to get it in. The thing I did like about it is they didn't disturb the interior trim during the installation.

We decided on Pella for a couple of reasons and one was that we had an 8-foot Pella slider at our previous house that we loved. Then, the brand itself and the salesman. We know the owner of the franchise but I don't have any daily connection with them. I didn't even realize they owned it until we contacted them about the windows so that was an unexpected surprise. 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. That was probably a difference between the crews. It was a great experience all the way through. I couldn't beat it. The price was more than some and less than others. But the quality probably made the difference. It was better than I expected.

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. I had six more windows scheduled to be bought from Pella but I didn't. I went with another company because Pella lied to me. I don't trust people when they do that to me one time.

We wanted a new door that had different features, and Pella was the only door that had the blinds in between the glass. We went to the store and checked in with the guy to see if we could see the door in person. And they sent someone out to the house. We talked about it. We looked at the door. We also had an additional window installed. The picture window was in bad shape, and we went ahead and replaced that at the same time. We had a problem with the door because the door was originally measured incorrectly, so they had to send the door back and get a new door. That delayed it by a couple of weeks, but it was a good job and we like the work that was done.
The door was wrong when it arrived. It wouldn't fit. 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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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! This one will say anything to get you to buy from them and the story changes once they have your money.

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.

I know Pella is a good window and I have a Pella upstairs. So, I bought from them and they worked very well. The price was super high though. I got one window and it cost me well over $24,000.

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.

When the installers came out, the handle style of the door that was installed was not what we ordered. We were trying to get it done before a party and the product that got installed for the party wasn't what we were looking for, although it still physically worked. 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. Also, I'm happy with the quality of the door.

The first installation team was excellent. But one of the windows was not sized properly and it was too small. That window was critical and it was gonna fall out if you pushed on it. So they couldn't finish that installation. We had to wait for them to come out, which was quick, to re-size the window and manufacture. Then I requested the same team to come back, but they sent two guys who were kind of bozos. We weren't happy with the second installation, but it got done.
There's a window upstairs and I couldn't get it to lock because you have to press down real hard to get the locks to catch. They're under warranty so I called Pella and the lady who answered the phone said, "Well, you waited a long time to call." I told her, "Excuse me, but I never opened the window. It's summer." We got on the lift, but then I opened it and closed it a bunch of times myself and it loosened up. Then I called back Pella and told them, "Don't bother because I got it working." But I didn't like the lady's attitude. Everybody else I spoke to over there was always nice.

When it came time to replace the windows, we got quotes from a handful of different companies. Ultimately, Pella had the product we wanted and also the pricing that was the most reasonable. We got 50 single-hung windows. From the time we placed the order to the time they were installed, one of them was a little bit longer, but that was during the pandemic. It was eight weeks. For the last set which was installed earlier this year, it was four weeks from order day to install day. On the day of install, both times were excellent. The contractors worked quickly, were very clean, respectful and efficient. When a couple of very minor issues arose with the placement of certain things, they worked it out with me in a way that made sense and didn't incur any extra charges. They were very effective and approached it from a very sensible position.
We had one minor issue with one of the seals and it wasn't even on my mind, but I mentioned it to our salesperson when he came around for the second set. He said, "Let me get someone out here to fix that," and they fixed it at no charge. I've heard horror stories from other manufacturers and one of the things that led us to Pella was hearing those other stories. We haven't had a single one of those problems with Pella. We've had stellar quality on everything. If you want an economical but high-quality products and something that will stand the test of time, Pella is a strong option to consider.

I contacted Pella, they showed up, and I walked them through all the windows that I wanted to replace. They sat down and walked me through the pricing options, whether I wanted to go with vinyl or wood windows. I let them know upfront that our goal was to get something in there that'll last a long time and that's not gonna break the bank. They knew what I wanted there. We had to move the appointment around a time or two and everybody was easy to work with. However, the installation went a little longer than they were thinking. They were thinking they'd be able to get it done in two days but it ended up taking about four. There were couple of windows that were built in to built-in desks in our basement that made it a little more difficult. But the guys that came and did it showed up on time and were super nice and respectful.
Having our Pella windows, we have peace of mind that we're not having to replace them any time soon. We had a little bit of a pest problem with bugs too and we were thinking they might be coming in through our old windows that had some areas where you could almost see daylight through them. That's gone away since we put the new windows in, which is awesome. The windows are great and really clear. I've gotten a bunch of compliments on them from our neighbors. It was what I expected for some high quality windows and the price was about exactly what I was expecting to pay. I ended up financing them and that portion was super easy as well.

I used Pella windows on a commercial project because we were working on a historic building and they had to be customized. And every window was different. The contractor had had good experience with Pella before, so I worked with them. They're not the cheapest window, but I was very impressed with the sales guy that I worked with. I liked the care that they took and the installation team. We had double hung windows, patio doors, and a fixed window put in. The last job was at my house and we live in a very old home, so the installation was very tricky because things are not always square. So it wasn't fast, but I didn't expect it to be. The installers were great, too. We had one issue with a door and it took a while to get everything resolved, but it was because there was a level of customization involved. So, I had to wait.
But when I started getting nervous about having a door that was difficult to lock, they sent somebody out to take care of that in the interim. I've been really happy with Pella, so I would feel very comfortable recommending them. I've only had their products in for a couple of months, but they look great. They're doing what we wanted them to do as far as sound and keeping the heat and cool within the house. So from an energy standpoint, they were a practical choice. Also, I do not like to purchase from one company and have a completely different company install because then the customer ends up in the middle. And no matter what I'm doing, I just want one company that is going to take responsibility for whatever happens at the house. That is worth a lot.

It was a super expensive project and the rep from Pella tried to help me come to a solution that got me the look that I wanted but not break the bank. We landed on the compromise of doing the panes in the front of the windows in the front of the house and he helped me understand that on the back of the house, I could save some money and not not have the panes in the back of the windows.
The installers did a great job. There was a gentleman who came around who had been doing this for a while and he was checking on them to make sure they were doing it right. I liked all the installers but he kind of instilled some confidence in me. I was impressed by both him and the guys that were learning from him and just the fact that they have that process in place for the younger guys to learn that way.
But when they were installing the windows, I realized I probably need the handle at the bottom and I told the guy I was rethinking that. He said he was gonna have somebody come by and show me some and they would just install them for me but that never happened. Part of that is probably because I wasn't there all the time, so they could have come by and I didn't see them. I have been meaning to follow up to see if I could still get that or too much time has gone by. Other than that, I like the quality of the windows so far.

I've known about Pella since 1968 when my parents put it in their house and in 1982, we built a house and put it full of Pella. In 2005, we replaced some fixed panels with more Pella. And recently, we had casement windows as well as arch windows installed. The timeline they gave us was correct, which was two months. But the installation was horrible.
If I was gonna replace a window, I would only cut away as much siding as I needed to. I went outside on the deck and they ripped the whole siding off the gable to replace the arch window. So, they took off 20-foot boards to replace a four-foot window. Then, on the 18-inch window, they were ripping off eight-foot boards. So, I had to spend about $400 to buy enough lumber to put back what they tore up. When it got to the last ones, I told them to quit ripping the siding off my house and to just cut enough to keep it dry and get it dried in. So, on the final two windows, which were the hardest ones to get to, they did those correctly.
We've had the service guy out five times to try to get these casements to latch in. You have to reach outside one window to pull the other one in and that's doable when you don't have screens in, but you don't have to take your screen out every time I open and close the window. So finally, the last time the installer left, he said they just needed to reset these windows, which meant they were gonna rip my siding off my house again and we're not interested in doing that. Pella has a great product but the installation crew messed the thing up. The windows are probably a little defective from the factory but the guy said they're not hung straight and that's why they won't open and close. I'm trimming out the inside so I'm gonna open it right now and see if they'll come back closed.

My boyfriend saw on our Ring camera that instead of filling a hole underneath our door, he just put something to cover it. So the cold air would still be coming in. It wasn't what was agreed upon. So I told the man, "Hey, we were supposed to have something put underneath there." He said he did that. So I stuck my finger in the hole and told him, "Sir, this is empty." Then he said, "I don't have time for this. Y'all can call back," and left. So then I had to call all the people again and about a month later, they finally completed the door. Now I'm fighting with them trying to make the payment. We owe them about 7,500 but because it took so long, they agreed to come down on the amount that we owe. But now nobody answers my calls, not the salesperson nor the operations manager. So I keep getting bills in the mail for the complete 7,500.

Pella has a good reputation and they have a storefront that's not far from where I live. I could go in and talk to somebody about the windows without them coming to my house. They didn't oversell me, which was another big factor in choosing them. They showed me what they had, and based on what I told them, they made a recommendation and I agreed to it. The installation went fine. There was one question about what happens to the window treatments that used to be there. Because I thought they took them down like the shades, they would put them back up, and they didn't, and I didn't see that in the small print. The installer was nice enough to put one shade back. But nothing was told to me about that and I don't know about such things. So, I was a little confused.
Nobody showed me how the windows come apart to clean them. I had this idea that these windows folded out or came out. Some are slider sideways and some are double-hung. I'm not sure how all that works in terms of cleaning the outside. I forgot to ask and nobody bothered to tell me how the screens come out. I have no idea. I guess they just popped out, but nobody showed me. I had to sign a bunch of stuff that they did it, that was all on a computer tablet, but nothing. Nobody followed up with, "Are you happy with your new windows?" And answer my questions. But the windows themselves are fine. They work well. I am curious about cleaning them, but I'm satisfied with the purchase.

The installers of our Pella sliding glass door were very helpful. We like the quality of the product so far. We haven't had any issues with it. It looks good and we've been happy with it. The price was a little higher than what we were wanting to spend. But it was worth it. Their online tool was easy to use.

We are extremely pleased with the quality and appearance of our new front door. It looks better than expected. The installer was fast and efficient and did quality work. The only thing that prevents me from giving this experience 5 stars is that someone failed to order the vertical piece that is part of the threshold. The installer was able to provide this piece from material on his truck, but it required painting. I had to purchase paint and paint this part of the threshold myself.

We have 18-foot ceilings and Pella finally came out with an electric battery-operated window we could use up top. I wanted it to all match. However, it took forever to get anywhere. The time frame, very slow. The rep came out and looked at stuff, and we sent it to the insurance company. It was time-consuming between the insurance and Pella. It wasn't all Pella’s fault. We waited and waited on the insurance people, and we waited and waited on Pella. It took at least a year. But the people have been very friendly and nice to work with. And the installation process was very good. The guys came out and did it once it had a date. The doors are of good quality except my garage door's seal keeps coming loose and I keep having to have it replaced. Also, it's very pricey. But it's a good product.

Between Pella and this other company, the price was not much of a difference, but it was about the availability. We told Pella what we were looking for and the rep walked through the options. After I met with the guy that could tell us about it, we made an appointment for availability and they started the installation that day. The only issue was we had just paid for our house to be cleaned and there was a lot of mess left. After that, we still had issues with the windows. The cold air still came in. Somebody came out to check the windows to see what was happening. And it turned out that they hadn't insulated the windows on the sides. So, we had to schedule for that, and they had to come back to do that.
Something happened both times, because we had it in two installments. And we still haven't completed the whole house. We still have 15 windows left. We didn't have a final inspection. And when we started noticing all the issues, that was when we started calling. We also got locked out of the house. The back door locked at one point and it wouldn't unlock. We tried to get ahold of Pella but we weren't able to get ahold of them until the next day. So, we had to call somebody to come and unlock the door. But we now have better quality windows.

We had great service. I love Pella and have recommended them to people. Windows are ridiculously expensive. However, they were all about the same price. But I Liked Pella's presentation. They put our mind at ease about the expense. They had some financing options that we were happy with. So, we chose one of those. Also, I liked Pella's congeniality. They seemed to understand that money was an issue and were mindful of that. And they were as quiet as they could be for installing windows. Everything got cleaned up.
The furniture wasn't put back to right because they had to still install the window sill. So, we kept that all separated. They came the next day, and realized that they were a quarter of an inch off so they couldn't install them. They had to get them windows recut because they were custom-sized. That took three weeks to do, which was not a big deal. The windows are gorgeous.

The window that I had in my office had a small leak in it. The current home that we purchased has Pella windows and doors and I didn't like the warranty. They came out to look at it and they said that the window was under warranty, but something wasn't. It wasn't a functional window and it led me to replace the entire window. I was a little upset. I spent $5,000 on a new window when I could've just probably fixed it. It seemed odd to me why all of it wouldn't be covered.
The price was too much, but it is what it is. Also, we wanted to stay with the same brand and we found that the service or the team was a lot better than another company. Henry was the rep who went through the products with us and he was really great. He handled all our concerns and worked with us to get us where we wanted to be as far as product and things like that. The team that worked on the installation could have done a cleaner job with the grout, though. There are areas where there's a little bit of a gap that they could have filled in. It's nothing bad but the caulk that they put in is a little bit goopy. But they worked very quickly and the quality of the windows is great.

Pella sent two people to do the installation and it went well. They kept in touch and let us know everything when they'd be coming out and called us before they showed up. We have hardwood floors in the area that it was installed in and they protected that and did a very nice job on it. They also cleaned up after themselves.

We ordered our front door in December 2023 and the initial installation was in March 2024. We decided to go top of the line because we love our home and wanted a better weather seal. We considered this an investment in the house and expected a product that was commensurate with the money we plopped down. The initial install was very disappointing and included a piece of threshold molding that was green on the end (stood out) and in no way was a high quality choice for that seemingly small but visually loud detail. Additionally at the initial installation, the screen door was not right and made a too-loud-for-what-we-are-paying noise as it opened and closed. Turns out there was a bend somewhere and the installer had to leave with the door.
I spent a significant amount of time finding someone who could help me and manage the issues we were having, but once I did, their customer service and commitment to making it right were satisfactory. Ok so now back to the second time we had someone come and try to install. Apparently they brought the same storm door back. Still bent and still made noise and now there was a sizable gap at the bottom making the seal nada, but we insisted we keep it so they would have to make a new door rather than try to fix this one again. So we wait.
The third time they come back, we finally have a storm door that closes quietly and all the way with a nice seal. Yay. Fast forward a couple days and the screen has started to come loose, so we call again to have someone come out, but they were not able to fix it...needed another part. Ordered the part. Waited some more. I think after the fifth or sixth time of having an issue and having someone come back out to fix it....we are happy with the door. Thankfully I was able to talk to someone with a pulse who managed the whole project, start to finish. So bravo to the customer service. Quality assurance may need some addition umph.

They left that heavy storm door. I had friends move it for me. But I knew that it might not fit. A couple of days after it was installed, I opened the door, and that plate where the notch goes into when you shut the door fell right off and pulled some of the chunks of wood with it.
With friends, we put it back in place with screws. For a few days while I was thinking they'd come right back out and fix it, I couldn't shut the door. I had to deadbolt it any time I went in and out because it blew open as nothing would catch it. I called Pella and they set a date for July. This was in April. There's also about half of an inch of light showing down near the bottom. Another thing is they never told me that they were giving me a bunch of smoke alarms. I had just bought a bunch of smoke alarms for $250 because I had some windows replaced by somebody else. Two weeks later after the door was in, I went in the garage and there was a box in there.

I had a sunroom, and it had a knee wall that went up about three and a half, four feet. It was screened in on two sides, and then someone just put glass in there that didn't open.

One installation was with the sliding glass doors and, once the materials were ready, I was informed that everything was ready and we selected a date. And then, the crew came and put down protective paper and kept everything in my house from getting damaged. They did the install within a day for both of the projects, which was great. I didn't have to stay in a hotel and I was able to enjoy the new products as soon as the crew finished that evening.

I was able to adjust certain things so it doesn't move so hard. I feel like if everybody went through a Pella training, that would have been a whole, whole better impression of Pella.

I got sliding glass doors and a double front door. They gave me a timeline of six weeks for the replacement but it was done a little bit before that. When they came out to do the install, while they were very nice, they struggled with the framing of the front door. But they came right back out and they took care of it and did a whole new framing on the front door. Pella is very good to work with, they stand behind their products, and the product is great quality.

When we called Pella, the salesperson was able to come out quickly and I liked him. Pella had a great selection and a nice showroom. The reps took a look and gave us some options on what would be appropriate for our style house, the price range that we were looking in, the whole process that it was gonna take and if it was a custom window, how long it was gonna take. That was in October of last year. They were very thorough and comprehensive. Then, Pella sent somebody out to measure and he did. But then, they sent somebody else out to measure. We went to the showroom to pick out exactly what we wanted and they custom-made exactly what we wanted, which was great.
We had two windows done on the side of the house, where you lift the window, and it has a screen embedded in it. So, when you close the window, you can't see the screen and when you open the window, there's a screen. Both of those were very expensive. But it's something that we wanted and we were able to get. The installation was super easy. When the window came in, they called and the crew came out for one of the windows. It was two guys for the big giant window that we had. It was a $15,000 window. Three guys got the window in and they showed us what they had done and how to use the window and the cranks. One of the latches was broken and they immediately called for a new one. Their customer service is A-plus.
We didn't get the windows in until March. There’s no draft and it is quiet. They feel very solid to me. We have aluminum on the outside so they won't rot, and wood on the inside that they custom-stained to a color that we wanted. The product is quality. They're not cheaply made and everything is custom. So, it's not just some factory already made window. Pella has great guarantees. If anything goes wrong with the window, they fix it right away. We had multiple people come out to look at things. Right now, customer service is lacking in a lot of companies and that's what sets Pella apart for me and why we paid more is for the customer service.

The presentation was very informative and clear, and the reps were not pushy. I had nine double-hung windows installed and the installers did it in one day. They did a very good job and I was very happy when I saw the windows in place. I would recommend Pella.

We love our slider from Pella. It's great. I really like it a lot. It's expensive, though. I paid $6,000 for a slider, which is a lot, but it is really nice. The installation was good, too. The installers were helpful. They did their job and they got in and got out.

I'm very much satisfied with Pella. Product-wise, everything looks good. They also followed up and updated me on the status whenever they were late or whenever something was not working. The installation went perfect, too. They did a good job. They were very clear about what exactly the customer needed. They understood the customer requirement and accordingly, they delivered the product. I will definitely, in the future, if required, go with Pella again.

We live near the airport and down the street from elementary schools, so we get a lot of noise from trucks and planes. We decided to purchase sound-canceling windows from Pella but in actuality, the windows haven't made much of a difference. They have kept the weather out and we're not feeling the cold like we did before, but the sound still comes through. Also, we were more impressed with the person who installed the windows than the person who sold them to us, because the lady who was helping us was hard to get ahold of. Then, we changed the coloring of the windows, and installer caught it and corrected it in the system for us.

Our back door was deteriorating and it needed to be replaced. We told Pella's reps what we were trying to do and they gave us the options available. So, we relied on them to provide the best design and it worked out for us to follow their lead. We knew what we wanted and they were able to provide what we were looking for. The installation people knew exactly what they were doing and they got it knocked out in the time they said they were going to get it knocked out. The only problem was that when they delivered the door, they had two different colored hardware on it. So, that was an issue that we had to work through. But Pella stepped up and took care of it for us. So far, the door seems pretty solid. It's expensive, but if you want to get something halfway decent, you're going to have to pay for it.

We had Pella windows, and they were old. We had them replaced and installation took a week. The installers were very good. They told us what they were doing, kept us informed and cleaned up their mess. I like our windows. They were very expensive, but we knew that going in. There was also a Rocky Mountain rebate and it was hard to get a final invoice. It took four phone calls to finally get something in writing that was our final invoice.

The consultant, Chase, was awesome. He answered all my questions and addressed every concern I had. We did a replacement on the foyer window. It was a crescent moon, so it was a special order and it took about five weeks till it was made to the specifications. The installation team was awesome. They cleaned up. I wanted the window to look exactly like it did and it looks absolutely better than it did before. I have been recommending Pella.

We have Pella patio doors and we're very happy with them. We've had them since we built our home in 1976 and they are still perfect. We knew they had a good product, so we called them out to purchase a big bay window. They gave a presentation and explained everything. The installers were professional and they got things done in half a day or so. We're very pleased with what they did and how they did it. The price was high, but we had other estimates from other companies and for the quality, Pella was reasonable.

Pella's rep was very professional and I bought whatever he recommended. He knew more about the windows than I did and I'd use him again. I was told that the windows I ordered would come in 90 days, then the installers screwed up a little bit when they first took them out. But they got the second one in there just fine. Also, the first one took a little bit longer than it should've, but it all worked out.

We've enjoyed Pella, and we really appreciated our local sales reps from the Nashville area, Nicole and Jonathan. They did a great job taking care of us over the years. They came down and visited with us in our house and took measurements of the windows and showed us what their product offerings are. Pella was able to work with us and do four or five double-hung windows at a time. We did it in phases, and the product didn't change between the first and last phases, which was nice.
Installation was, for the most part, good. Pella mostly contracts out to independent installers, and we had one installer over all those phases that didn't do as great a job, but then the following installer corrected some of those things. We're so happy with new our windows. They all operate really well, and they seem to be more energy-efficient. It's a really nice product.

I heard about Pella because it's so advertised, and I did some research online and saw good reviews. I chose Pella from talking to a couple of friends and doing some very light research in the area. The consultation was awesome. It was a very knowledgeable experience, and every question and concern that I had was immediately addressed. The installation was very timely too. I had experts doing the whole thing, and it was one of the most comfortable interactions that I've had with somebody in my house doing work on stuff. The whole experience was very well done, professional, and comfortable.
With the installation process, they identified what they felt to be a flaw and immediately scheduled to come out and had that fixed again. I have a good, lifelong quality product, and I enjoy it. It's better than I was hoping, and I have been recommending Pella to my friends. I also plan to use them again in the future to replace additional windows. The whole thing from start to finish was very satisfactory.

I called Pella, then they came out and did a bid. It was fast, and there was no pressure. I wasn't here for most of the install, but after I opened the door and got them in the house and they were working, it seemed to go fine. So far, I love the windows. They look much better than my old windows. Pella costs a lot, but it was cheaper than the other folks I looked at.

Horrible!!! I contracted this job with Pella out of Grand Rapids Michigan. The project manager is Sarah ph# **. She is positively a joke, I can only imagine how or why she stays employed. It is a mystery since she treats her job like an afterthought. This is a franchise not a Bona Fide Pella store owned by Pella. I paid over 30k for 4 new sliding doors by Pella. If this is the kind of work Pella does it’s shameful. The installers showed up to install the doors. However when they installed the first door it had a split in the door, they were given the wrong trim for the doors, no locks for any of the doors, the wrong colored handles.
So we waited (The official Pella response is that parts take 4-6 weeks). Now on the day to finally finish the “Pella Experience" and on which we were promised to be the first job… crickets!!!! No call, no show! When Sarah finally answered her phone, she gave us this line “oh our install team is running very late”. I thought we were first in line.

Outstanding experience from the initial assessments through follow-up after completion. Very professional and competent staff and windows look/work great. During the assessment, the staff was patient as we looked at various options and other companies. They offered a great finance plan in addition to competitive prices and discounts for two other couples in our HOA who was doing the same thing. Great value and experience all the way around and would highly recommend.

Our experience with Pella windows was very pleasant and refreshing. From Tyler the salesman to the installation crew. Everyone was pleasant and professional. The installation crew did a great job and cleaned up after. The only issue was the trash pickup. We had to cleanup glass in the driveway and road. Customer service was a 10. Again a very pleasant experience!

I picked out the 2 over 2 window sashes for all windows. I saw in the order that it was incorrect and brought it to the salesperson’s attention. He said he would “fix” it. They arrived incorrectly. I brought it to the installer’s attention immediately. He said they were easy to “switch out”. But continued installing incorrect sashes. When I spoke to the manager, he said it was my fault and I signed a contract, was unwilling to correct the mistake. I spoke to someone in customer service who also claimed it was easy to switch out but here we are today with an installer who has showed up with two handles that were never installed but none of the correct sashes. Also the custom oval light was botched and I was told after the fact that it was due to rot. If I had been told about the rot, I could have addressed it and had a contractor come to finish it. I will be contacting an attorney.

I recently had an entry door from the garage to the house installed by Pella. The contractor who did the work botched the install and packed up and left before I could examine the installation. Beside leaving a mess, the door molding color did not match the original trim, they broke the linoleum, they left big gaps between the mismatched door molding and the original wall molding, the new mismatched wall molding has cracks and gaps, hardware screws put in a bit crooked, didn’t install the dead bolt door plate, left a gap under the door that you can see the light through, left the debris laying around in the garage and outside in driveway. The Pella rep said they would make it right. Never Pella again is my new mantra. Should have listened to my inner voice and used Andersen again.
