Placed cancellation for work order 7/1/24 at 6:00am, on 7/2/24 10:26am I received a email notification that my financing was not approved. When I called to discuss further, the representative refused the ability to verify with a confirmation email the actual cancellation of the order and said that the communications via text I had gotten were only through the automated system however the email communication was indicative of a declined finance application. There should not have been any attempts to pull credit since the cancellation was placed the at the immediate first opportunity. The business should be able to confirm with email a cancellation was placed.Business response
07/28/2024
The cancellation in writing to be received in three business day is required ,As noted on the *** form.
The order has been cancelled without the form as requested .
The signed finance application was already in process and unfortunately the request was denied by the lender.
****** has no authority to remove the inquiry on the credit report .A request would need to be made directly to the assigned credit bureau .A denial letter that was sent has the information.
We are sorry we could not earn your business .

FAILURE TO PROVIDE QUALITY WINDOWS--THIS HAS BEEN GOING ON SINCE SEPTEMBER 2023--WINDOWS LEAK AIR, SNOW AND RAIN. AND WINDOWS ARE NOT FULLY INSTALLED. THEY KEEP PUTTING US OFF TO SEAL THEM UP.Business response
06/24/2024
The facts are construed .
The rusal to allow the replacements have caused a decision that the complaintent agreed to .
The windows that are installed previously will be sealed and screens installed .
No payment has been received an d none will be asked for
All attention has been made and to no avail .
To complain after agreed service was refused is disingenuous

Hansons started installation of our windows on September 27 2023. The branch mgr. **** came out and stated that the windows were faulty and said windows would need replaced. After going through fall and winter with bugs , wind, snow and water coming in thru the windows and sashs they send **** out to put weatherstrip around the windows(which did not help) This spring 2024 We were told that they would replace the windows, when the windows came the order was wrong and (not a bathroom nor 2 bedroom windows but 3 extra sunroom windows) when they installed the kitchen window it was warped and unable to open or lock it. The installer called **** to come look at it and stopped installation.. Some time later Marve from Hansons called and we discussed the problem. He wanted to finish installing the new windows, but told me he would not guarantee the windows not to have drafts or leaks. I explained the we were told when contacted Hansons that no drafts or leaks would happen. So it didn't seem like the thing to do. We paid $11,000.00 down with the rest payable when the job was completed to our satisfaction. ***** told me that he can not satisify us and the all he would do is walk away and not ask for more money. They came out to reseal windows but not completed. We have gone thru h*** for the last year--and still have leaking windows--Just give our $11,000.00.

Had ******** do our roof a few years ago, had to call them back out numerous times because it leaked. We have a lifetime warranty on all aspects of the roof. They came out over the winter, left a nail and part of the old roof sticking through my new shingles. Called they sent someone out who couldn't believe what he saw, said the roofers who did this are not roofers but a joke. He removed the nail and old roof from under new shingles and put black tar on.( It's a brown roof) Said he would put in work request and tell his boss the shingles need to be replaced. Never heard anything from ********, I have since put in two service requests that were unanswered. I didn't pay nearly $10,000. To have my roof tared because their roofers made a mistake.i want it replaced. I have pictures of the nail sticking up from under shingles and sent to ********, but it's too large to send in this complaint. The same roofers also broke.my mailbox, and refused to come back out because I gave them a one star review.Business response

It was advised they would charge me another 1000 dollars and change i advised that was fine. I was told I would be getting ****** that was ok also. Then they added permit was another 149 that was ok also, they told me they put 12 pieces of plyboard which I feel was a lie. the 1000 they changed was for that plyboard. I seen them throw 7 board in the dumper also a couple squares of roofing shingles; nails in boxes and different types of roofing papers. after all of this I took the check to them and now they won't even answer the phone.

I put money down on an order with the understanding ( and in writing) That I could cancel within 3 days if I needed to . I did have to cancel my order on day 2 and they cashed my check anyway. Now I have to fight with them to get my money back in small claims court. I am so upset with 1-800-Hansons, they have zero response to customer service. They assured me my check was on the way but it has been 3 weeks and still nothing.Business response

I contracted 1-800-Hansons to replace my roof and windows.They said they would remove and replace all the old wood from the surface of the roof after removing the old shingles. They didn't do this. They simply removed the old shingles and then put new wood over the old and added the new shingles. They then said they were going to add an additional ***** dollars to the roof total. When I complained about it and said this is not the Job I contracted for and wanted an explanation I was told this is the way it is done and they were perfectly within their rights to do the roof the way they did it and were comfortable referring the matter to their legal depth. Help! My Wife and I are retirees and have no idea how to proceed.Business response

Complaint to the Better Business Bureau On May 27, 2024, I had a scheduled appointment for a property I own. As this was the only available day that worked for me, I flew in from ******* and drove a couple of hours to be at the home for the appointment. ******* had required that I provide photos of the house through their app, which I did, uploading the images two hours prior to the scheduled meeting time.I was then called by a sales representative who informed me that there had been a mistake with the booking. I expressed my understanding of the mistake, but emphasized that I expected someone to still show up for the appointment. The representative stated that they would call the General Manager.After waiting for over an hour, I called back and spoke to another individual, who told me that they could only email the management, not directly contact them. This has resulted in a waste of my time, as I had to take time off on a holiday to accommodate this appointment.I expect a resolution to this issue, as the lack of follow-through and inability to reach management is unacceptable. Please let me know how this can be addressed.Thank you for your assistance.Sincerely,***********************Business response

November 29, 2023, I paid a deposit of $14,400 for windows and siding so Hansons would start the ordering process. They began the window installation on February 14, 2024. Two windows had broken panes and it was explained to me that they would install them as is for now because it was only one layer of glass that was cracked and they would be able to do a quick window sash exchange to replace the cracked ones as well as another window pane that had an inside seal that was all messed up. They assured me it would be a quick fix. They also brought two garage windows and one was not the correct size, so they would not install either one until the other window was there and ready to go in together. After the first set of window installers left, I noticed the inside vertical trim was cut too short on several of the windows and filled with caulk masquerading as wood. I called the same day and requested that this be corrected on the next visit. I also mentioned that there were smudges on the glass of some of the windows that was not coming off with several cleanings and I was told they would have the crew use a special cleaner to remove the glazing residue that I could not get off.. The next crew that showed up for the windows, had neither of the sashes for the cracked sunroom window / messed up inside seal (same window), and the Wrong sash for the cracked basement window. All of these needed corrections were Preceeded with pictures to avoid confusion. That was Unsuccessful. On Thursday, May 16th, 2024 ******** Scheduled an appointment for the window crew to show up between 8am and Noon. this appointment was a no show and I had to contact them to find out when their crew was coming. They told me they were not going to make it that day and would schedule me to be the First Appointment on Saturday, May 18, 2024 at 8 am. Again, no call, no show. I called to see where my crew was and asked when they would arrive. I received a text message stating they would get here between 1pm -3pm on Saturday, May 18, 2024. It was after 4 pm, so I left to attend another obligation. While enroute, I received a call from 1-800 Hansons around 4:20. pm that the crew was at my home and no one was home. I am furious, again there. was NO communication letting me know someone was going to be here on this day since the time I was told they would arrive had already expired. I have had to rearrange my life multiple times for appointments they do not show for..Business response

I ordered 6 windows, after installation I noticed they were all crooked and the screens had gaps. I had to be persistent to make them solve the issue, they replaced the most crooked screen but it didn't fix the problem. After I kept on the issue they finally send a contractor to look at it who told me all 6 windows were installed incorrectly, damaging the windows and they all needed to be completely replaced. After his report, it still took me reaching out multiple times to get them to address this. When they came out (almost 1 year after they were initially installed), one of the new windows were broken when they carried them in the house. Hours later, they left and I realized they just reinstalled the original window (one of the previously damaged ones) since they broke the new replacement, and never said anything about it to me. Also, the walls around the windows were very damaged from the multiple times the company had to come out to fix the issues before the replacements (7 times in total they came out to my house). After all of this hassle, I called the company about their contractors reinstalling the damaged window since they broke the replacement and not even telling me about it. All I wanted was the single window to be refunded since it was damaged, reinstalled, and I was never informed about that, which seems very shady. I did not want them to come back out and reinstall a new one because of the multiple issues that happened each time they came out (ie damaged walls all in bathroom around windows, dog p*** not from my yard was tracked all over my deck and they didn't attempt to clean it, time away from work that I had to be home to let them in for repairs, etc). They would only refund me half of the price and were very rude to me during the process. During the year of these issues it was always hard to get ahold of someone and it was always difficult to get them to actually address the issues. I also have picture and video proof of all the damage as well.Business response

We are sorry for the issues; A credit was accepted AND AGREED TO for the one window.
The calls are recorded, and we cannot find any of Hansons representatives being "rude" during the interaction. We did discover the customers angst that was apparent due to the claims of issued. We are sorry for any distress during the warranty process. .
If there is a claim of interior damage, please refer to the contract terms and conditions regarding submitting the claim to the homeowner's insurance for validation and resolution.
Any new warranty issues can be submitted online.

A full refund was not provided for the damaged window, only a partial refund. Also, I did not report a specific instance of a rude employee on a single call when I called to discuss my numerous concerns, however, I stated that it was extremely difficult to get the company to address my concerns or even take initiative to remedy the multiple issues/mistakes that were made by the company. It was always myself who had to take the initiative to reach out to the company when their contractors would tell me that were issues instead of the company reaching out after receiving reports from their contractors, for example, when the contractor told me that all windows had been installed incorrectly and thus damaged in the installation and needed to fully be replaced, it was myself who had to reach out more once than to get the company to address this.
