Power Home Remodeling

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

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

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