      We have had nothing but issues with this company, and have been very patient and understanding in trying to get them resolved. We purchased approximately $15k of windows/doors and had them installed with them. We had to have a door replaced soon after cause the argon gas somehow leaked out and clouded over the door. Then we were having worse draft and heating issues then before the new windows, and come to find out they never insulated around any of the new windows. Taking the trim off the outside there was visible large gaps of open space all the way around the windows. We called and they did set up a service to have a Crew out to try and properly insulate. When that crew can out the gentleman was very nice, however informed us whoever ordered our windows with the company basically had measured wrong and so our windows did not properly fit but he would do his best to insulate. He also pointed out in that visit that our two second story bedroom windows in our kids rooms where so Ill fitting that when they attempted to s**** them in they never hit anything and had one of the children leaned hard enough on the window it would have fell out and down two stories! He did what he needed and fixed this while he was on site. We then had a window break which is under warranty however I've had nothing but lack of communication front he company over the last 6 months trying to get one window pane replaced, they never have reached out to me about status, scheduling, etc I've had to make multiple calls to them over this 6 month period trying to get updates. It was found at one point my replacement was somehow lost so we had to start over and reorder it. I've just called again and she assures me the replacement is in (but again no one bothered to call me or attempt to schedule).

      Had a leak in my roof around my chimney. Service tech came out to do repairs. The repairs done were not adequate and ******** sent another person out to access the work. He said that new shingles of the proper color would be installed, the siding trim that was damaged during I itial service would be repaired. Nobody has come out to do the service as promised and numerous phone calls and online service request are being ignored. Was told that service manager or GM would DEFINATLY call the next day and no call.

      I ordered two door walls and installation of the door walls from Hansons. After nearly a year of the initial install date, they have failed to install one of the doors. Also, they appear to not care at all about my case or getting my door installed. For a year I have had to call them and help them do their job, and try to procure the parts and schedule dates for my install. I have called them week after week and month after month and spent over 6 hours on the phone with them trying to figure this out. It is the worst experience I have ever had with a company in my life. The initial door install was 11/21/2020. The Main Floor door install went OK, but the basement had issues. After installing the basement door, they tried to slide the screen into place, but it would not fit. They broke the screen trying to get it into place. They thought it was an issue with the screen (about half a year later, after breaking two more screens, they would decide that the door was installed incorrectly). This kicked off a nearly year long back and forth with Hansons, with me chasing them month after month to try to get them to fix my door and and install a screen. I am still in the middle of this mess and have not received a correctly installed doorwall. I called today and they say "the parts aren't in". 11/21/20 - Initial install and failure to install basement doorwall and screen 1/27/21 - Failed attempt to install new screen.5/24/21 - Failed attempt to install new screen.After 6/01/21 - They finally figure out its not the screen and that I need a new doorwall installed. Waiting on doorwall install.Now they have been "waiting on parts" for months. If I don't reach out to them, I never hear from them. I have to call them every few weeks and hope something changes. I paid $5412 for this service. Like I said, I have spent over 6 hours on the phone with them, over nearly a year, attempting to get the door installed. Please someone help me get this door installed. Please.

      I went with ******** about a year and a half ago for a new roof, blown insulation and new gutters. At the beginning of this month I noticed a major roof leak above the furnace and water heater. I had to contact ******** SEVERAL times before the service guy came out. He said that the pipe from the furnace through the leak needed a ****** or boot and that would be repaired my heating company. When contacting ******* Heating, I was informed that this issue is, in fact, the responsibility of the roofing company. I have contacted ******** again, SEVERAL times and have not heard back from them. The roof has a lifetime warranty. I have ceiling damage as well as wet insulation now as a result of ******** negligence. I am forced to pay for this damage that is caused by faulty workmanship by ******** when the roof was installed. PLEASE HELP!

      Better Business Bureau:

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:

      The heating and cooling company was just here.  They will not replace the furnace pipe because it will impact the shingles (different size).  Also, a general manager from ******** in Saginaw called me yesterday.  He was VERY unprofessional and quite rude.  He refused to do any further repair until the furnace pipe is replaced.  Now the heating and cooling company tell me they won't replace the pipe siting that there is no need.  He recommended more tar be applied to the area by my roofing company.  ******** told me yesterday that the pipe is "an unconventional size" and they do not have this material.

      I would like to point out a few things here.  In my 17 years in this home, the roof has never leaked above the furnace.  Secondly, there was ******************** my roof to include the area around the furnace pipe. I've NEVER been told that the furnace pipe needs to be replaced until yesterday. I was told it needed a ******.  Lastly, why would I spend thousands of dollars on a new roof and not have the pipe replaced if I was told to.  Why would ******** replace my roof in the 1st place with a bad furnace pipe?  The "gentleman" told me yesterday that he was sending this information to their legal dept.

      So due to poor workmanship and lack of integrity by NOT standing behind their supposed "Lifetime Warranty", I am left with a brand new roof that leaks above my furnace, wet blown insulation in my attic and a water damaged ceiling.

      At one point, ******** suggested to me that I submit a claim to my home owner's.

      I purchased windows to be installed and they were not installed correctly. The rotted frames were not replaced, instead some were covered up. Other windows were left with clear exposed dry rot on them. Aside from the windows installation being done incorrectly, the outside trim was not replaced either. When I attempted to resolve this with the general manager I was told they were unwilling to fix the issue and threaten to take me to court and put a lien on my home.
