My husband is 82 years old and had 2 strokes: July 2022 and Sept 2022. I am 75 years old. On June 19, 2023, ***************************, a sales rep for Renewal by Andersen, came to our home and stayed for 4 hours. All of the information that he gave ** about purchase and 0% interest loan was verbal information. On his computer, he did apply for the loan in my husband's name and the loan was opened right then. The next morning, we found out that $20,091 was taken from the GreenSky loan in my husband's name. No measurements had been taken, no materials ordered, no work done. Tuesday, June 20th, I called Renewal by Andersen and cancelled the order and asked that the $20,091 be returned. The sales rep was angry and said I did not understand. Two company representatives have called in the last 24 hours. One asked if *************************** answered all our questions. I said yes. Granted we did not know the correct questions to ask. When I asked these representatives if the money had been replaced, neither had any information about that. I have talked to GreenSky this morning, and they said they would contact Renewal by Andersen and request the money be replaced.Business Response

I recently spoke with a salesman by the name of *********************************** on Tuesday 5/23, to cancel a "$16k" job that my grandparents were signed up for. My grandparents explained to me that ******* started out telling them the cost of the windows would be $8,000. After signing up for a loan, the quote for the windows went up to $16,000. I later found out, they were approved for a $19,704.00 loan with ****% interest making the loan a total of $28,675.20 to pay off. I, contacted and explained to ******* why the job needed to be cancelled. After ******* telling me He would need to speak to my grandparents to Cancel, I explained that I was their financial POA and due to their dementia and confusion, I handle all of their finances and business. He was kind enough, so I thought, to tell me he would cancel. After obtaining my email address, he stated he will send me a cancellation receipt and I should receive it within 24 hours. He lied and I never received that confirmation of cancellation to my email. 5/26, a contractor by the name of *****, whom I attempted to have turn around after explaining I have cancelled the appointment and job, still went out to measure the windows and quoted my grandparents 19k and told them they have a few days to cancel. I left a voicemail with ******* the same day, to return my call because he never Cancelled the job. Furthermore, he sent in a loan request that was approved the same day he spoke with my grandparents about having the windows done but still explained that they could cancel the job. On 5/22, a $9,852.00 payment was made to Renewal by Andersen Windows LLC from the loan account. This type of preying on elders is unacceptable from a supposedly reputable company. I will continue to call, post and report until my cancellation receipt is sent and until this matter is rectified. I would appreciate it if my request to cancel could be met, including cancelling of this loan and the payment that was taken out!Business Response

I had the windows installed on NOV 2017. This sping i noticed mold growing on the window sill where the glass meets the fibrex material. The windows where ***** finished to match the previous windows. It does not feel like any varnish was applied over the stain. They sent a person out to look at the window and while he was here he measured the humidity level in the house. It was showing 39 percent humidity in the house. On April 25th I got a voice mail from *** from ******** windows. When I called *** back prettey much told me the mold was my fault because 39 percent humidity is too high for indoor levels.

On Wednesday 1/18/23 at approximately 6:30pm *********************** from renewal by Andersen arrived. We filled out a form online for an estimate for patio door replacement. They sent this man **** to our home. **** braced his foot on the bottom of the door then he grabbed the door, *****, jiggled, twisted and bent the current patio doors. Now the doors stick and are very difficult to open due to him bending, shaking, twisting and jiggling it. It did not have any issues opening or shutting prior to him coming. He also slammed the door shut at one point. He seemed upset that we weren't budging on signing a contract with him for the doors. We just wanted a quote/estimate. We felt extreme pressure by this man. He refused to send an estimate to our email and he stated an astronomical amount for the work/door. He came to our home wearing a ton of cologne and filled our home with the fumes as well as our belongings that now have to be placed in the garage because he sat his cologne saturated bag on our table. So we now have to throw it out. **** was very persistent with making a sale. He played You Tube videos emphasizing the supposed great quality from other customers trying to bait us into buying. Also showed us pictures on another customer that just so happened to get the same service with the same product. This was seriously a very stressful ordeal. It should've been a simple estimate and yet it turned into a *********** situation with a pushy salesman that intentionally damaged our property. He also asked where we were from and if we had received other quotes as well as what their quote was. He said it would be around 6 months before the work would even start. He was determined to make a sale before he left. When he saw he couldn't bait me, he turned to my family member and tried his tactics once again. This truly felt like we were being forced to make a decision right then and there even after telling him we needed to talk about it and that we could not afford his crazy price he still refused to stop pressuring us. We will never pay 12 thousand dollars for doors. He wouldn't stop pressuring us about giving him a good review. Maybe one of the most disturbing things about this ordeal is that the man refused to leave no matter how many times I told him we needed to end it. I would like compensated for our damaged property.Business Response

The sales appointment took place from 6:30-7:30 on 1/18. The mother and son met the sales rep at the door and were both present during the meeting. As requested by ********************************* set his bag on a table next to the door that was being discussed for replacement. When conversing about the issues they were having with their patio door, it was determined to be a metal clad hinged door with 1 active sash and 1 stationary panel, and it was allowing rain to leak in. **** proceeded to request permission to inspect the exterior, which is part of the sales appointment process, and saw that the screen was torn and very hard to operate. Note, on his way outside, *********************** cautioned him due to their deck not being stable. For his safety, he remained inside and inspected the exterior.
As the appointment came to an end, **** proceeded to outline the options, pricing, and lead times. Once *********************** heard the pricing and lead times, she was no longer interested, but the son proceeded to ask questions. Continuing to treat them as potential customers, the sales rep answered all questions with full transparency. After learning more about their personal financial situation, **** wanted to assist them with the premium costs to ensure he did his diligence on providing them a patio door that met their needs . *********************** then walked back into the kitchen and proceeded to tell **** that they had other companies look and provide pricing and lead times, which were very similar to what we were offering. Her son was still very interested in gathering more information for consideration, so he took a picture of the quote offered, $6,090. After the appointment concluded and the sales rep left, one text was sent to give our contact info and as a reminder of the post appointment survey, which is released to every customer.
We are currently in the process of scheduling a service tech to visit the home and assess the reported damage to door.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]**** did not mention in his response to the BBB how he braced his foot on the bottom of the door, grabbed, twisted, shook, and ****** it so it is now bent and sticks shut. This is reason for the BBB complaint. These other things in between are not accurate. We did not know a salesman would be sent for an estimate. We were expecting a contractor at Andersen to perform the estimate. Very misleading. ****'s bag being sat on the table was to prevent him from setting it on our new sofa. Considering, he laid his tablet on it upon entering and I had to steer him away from the sofa. **** never asked permission to do anything. Since he was right away aggressive with his sales, I wanted to advise him as quick as possible that the rain we had recently possibly made the deck unsafe but I didn't know for sure. We never volunteered any information regarding another company. My son is a young man (still teen) and was taught manners. My experience throughout life with aggressive salesman has taught me how to identify it and get out of that situation. **** playing you tube videos and trying to make the sale appealing to my son was disturbing. My son says he took a screenshot because **** refused to give an estimate. Since **** wouldn't leave, my son felt he had to take the screenshot to appeal to him and for our personal information. I had to pretend like we had an emergency so **** would take his claws out of my son. I was well aware that my son felt pressure and that he didn't want confrontation so I had to think of a way to get the man out of my home. Even then, **** would not leave. He completely ignored my request for him to end it and continued his sales videos and tactics on my son. He continually asked my son to give him a good review and even after getting him to leave, he texted my son- not me. My son had to block him because he was that uncomfortable. I guess he felt my son was an easy target because he is young, inexperienced, quiet and non confrontational. Very abusive appointment and experience on top of the damage he did and apparently isn't admitting.
Sincerely,

We stated back in our text message to *** on Friday 2/3/23 that we would like to see what value the company places on this situation.

I supplied an estimate from another company.
I will not purchase anything from Andersen. This seems like a trap. It is obsurd to think I would let Andersen ever come back to my home. Your salesman broke my door. It was functioning well opening and closing BEFORE **** physically put his foot on it, twisted, shook, and jiggled it.

In spring we signed a contract for 58k and some change with renewalbyanderson Nashville. Late November the installers arrived. Subcontractors, they damaged the windows and doors , they left work incomplete, the rear sliding glass door is installed incorrectly, coming apart and leaking water into my home. There is damage and scratches all over my home and property. Expanding foam caulking and silicone on floors walls and windows, gaps and cracks in all work. Exterior metal trim out of square and hollow so rain sounds like a drum band throughout my home. I locked the loan, renewal didn't respond to me until they discovered they couldn't get more money, their project manager stood me up twice when he was set to meet with me. Excuses and promises.

The gentleman spent approximately 30 min apologizing and trying to convince me this is not how they do business. During the call he said he would do two things immediately. The first was draft an email stating these promises he was making as I am not about to take someone's word, the second was to communicate to his cohort not to call after 2pm because I would be asleep.

*** did come by and we did review the tasks needed for completion. When it begins it will require an additional three days. While this is not ideal it was expected. However towards the end of our meeting *** brought up the financing contract through their partners at greensky. It appears the cause of this whole fiasco is a date set by the lender in which all work must be completed. I am currently awaiting a call from **** at greensky to better understand what this expired status entails. There is some pressure from *** and his company to sign an agreement renewing what I believe to be the original agreement. Both myself and my wife are extremely apprehensive about this. I hoped to hear from greensky today but did not. Monday I'll book a consultation with an attorney to seek guidance as I feel this agreement dissolves our ability to negotiate compensation. I would like to thank the BBB for their assistance in this matter.

Front door installation 1. Sales person provided inaccurate information regarding the door.2. The person who came to measure did not complete a check list.4. The installation crew could not speak English so we could not ask questions project date 11/2/22.5. There was no door handle on the screen door, unnecessary holes were drilled in to the door.6. The door would not lock. 7. ***** was dripped everywhere on the door. 8. Our hardware on the door was supposed to be black and it was brass.9. The installers began the project without contacting the project manager, because they did not have a interpreter on site, they are not allowed to do projects if they dont have an interpreter on site, they began the project knowing they did not have a door handle for the screen door.10. I called the project manager about the situation and he sent them to Menards to get a handle so we could get in the house, they put a handle that goes on a kitchen drawer on our screen door. 11. The project manager came out the next day and put on a screen door handle but it left 6 holes in the door.12. 1/1/2023 the came to replace the hardware to black and put on a new screen door. They replaced the screen door, but left the damaged piece where the old door handle went. This door is supposed to be scratch proof it has scratches all around the door, the hinges on my door are brass. My screen door does not close when you shut the house door it pops it open. 13. I contacted the project manager again and we have to wait another month for the hinges to be replaced and the part they drilled into has to be replaced. I also do not have the screen for the screen door. I told him the door doesnt latch but he did not address that issue.14. This is an unbelievable experience to get this door replaced at a ridiculous price. I have pictures of all the damages.15. The project cost is $8999.00, I paid $4500.00 and I am not paying a dime more.Business Response

We spoke with ************** this afternoon. We discussed everything she listed in the complaint and the work that still needs to be done. The resolution that was agreed upon is that since she is a repeat customer and given the situation, we are going to be waiving her balance and she will be signing a general release form, which we will have to her by Friday. We are also having a project manager go out to her home to create a punch list to ensure we get everything completed on her next appointment once the hinges arrive. The date and time are TBD.Customer Answer

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
[Provide details of why you are not satisfied with this resolution.]I reject the decision to close my case with ******** renewal.
1. I only have a verbal consent at this point to what we agreed upon.
a. They agreed to waive the remaining balance of the door project.
b. They agreed to fix the remaining defects on the door.
c. They agreed to create a project list and call and go over the list prior to coming to our home for the final fixes.
d. They agreed we would receive all warranties associated with the storm door, the interior door, and any other warranties related to the project of the installation.
2. A project manager has come to the house and took pictures of everything wrong with the door and wrote down my expectations of the finished project.
I do not have a date yet for them to finish.
I do not have a list of the the things that need fixed.
I do not have a contract that says the above things and that there will be no retaliation from them for the remaining balance, and they will uphold the warranty with no prejudice against us.
I will not sign off with the BBB until the project is complete to my satisfaction and they produce a contract that states the warranties stand without prejudice and there will be no retaliation against me or my husband for the remaining balance.
Thank you,
