      Originally told the job would be done in one day. Job was not completed in one day but marked completed. So an appointment to finish the job was never done and we were already being sent the bill despite the job not being completed. We called and they came out over a month later. Upon completing the project, the wrong color trim was used. Again, despite calling and communicating the correct color, the wrong color was installed. Now we cannot get them to come back out and fix their mistakes.

      We have been in communication with the customer, visited their home to determine the plan of action and are scheduling completion. We anticipate full resolution in the coming days and apologize for the inconvenience of our delay.  Thank you.

      My front doors were installed by Renewal By Andersen. I called *** ******* to get my doorbell fixed. They couldn't fix it because the wires were covered.  I called my sales person, to let him know about the issue.I wanted my doorbell, but I didn't want to compromise my door aesthetically.  ******* and ***** came and said to get a wireless doorbell. I want to let it be known that I was honest from the beginning I let them know my doorbell was not working, I ordered the blink I didn't like it. I decided I wanted my doorbell. I talked to ******* about it. He said he would order me a doorbell and install it, but they don't have electricians to fix it. I thought he was thinking I wanted something extra, so I said, I'm not asking you all for anything I didn't pay for. He then said to me, I didn't mean anything behind that, I was saying get it fixed and send me the invoice. ******* sent me pics of doorbells on Dec 13th to choose one. I made my choice. He stated "once I have everything in stock, we will reach out to schedule." I called him on Jan 22nd and  left a message. He never responded.I called *****, who told me ***** had taken *****'s place, he contact *******. I talk to ***** who was appalled that I called her and she was newly in this position.She made me an appointment.The installers came on 2/12/24 to install the doorbell, it was too big. ******* did not do his due diligence, I asked the installers what is next. I was told by them that ******* would order a new one and come to put it on himself. I called him the next day. He said the installers told him that I was satisfied, (they lied to us both). ******* then advised me he would no longer be handling this (as if he resolved the issue) and now ***** would contact me. ***** contacted me to tell me to get my own doorbell to get it fixed, and send them the invoice.  I got it fixed, I called *****, who gave me hers and *****'s email to send the invoice. I sent the invoice on 02/19/24. I haven't heard anything.

      We sincerely apologize for the delay, but tried to reach you a couple weeks ago to discuss further. Upon being unable to reach you, we went ahead and mailed the check on March 8th.  I would have thought it would have arrived by now, but please give the mail a few more days as it appears to be delayed.  Thank you.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and find that this resolution is satisfactory to me. In an effort to keep the company honest, no one has tried to reach out to me until yesterday 03/15/24. ***** contacted me to tell me a check was cut and asked if I had received it,  I did receive it today. Thank you. 



      Sincerely,

      Purchased windows and a back door in April 2022. Installation happened in July 2022. The back door is a French Door. I was told the installers would work over 2 day, and I would be able to approve the work. They were done in 1 day, and everything was finished before I got to look at it. I told the installers that the back door threshold is too high. It is about 3 inches above the floor in the kitchen. You literally must step over the threshold because there is also a "track" in the middle of the threshold that is about a half inch to 1 inch higher than the rest of it. It's a toe tripper. The door they removed for me did not have this problem. Additionally, the door was made with a thin piece of wood over it. The windows in the French Doors do not have enough space to put in a spring curtain rod, and I was told by Andersen that if I drill in the door, the warranty is void. There is literally no way to cover the windows and still be able to swing the door open and closed.

      The installers were ready to leave to go back to Louisville that night, so they did not return the next day, as promised. So, there was no fix for the door. So, the ability to approve the work was taken away from me. I have called and called. Finally, *****, "one of the owners" came by and his solution was to put a wedge in from the kitchen floor to the threshold to make "seem not to be so high". I told ***** that was not acceptable and I want a new door. I am willing to pay half for a new door with a lower threshold, but I will not pay full price. The product they sold me is just not a good product. They just don't need to be selling it. It does not seem it should pass building codes to put a threshold in that high.

      ***** said he would have to talk to "*****", the salesman, to get his approval on a new door, and have ***** call me and set up a time to meet with me at the ********** store (I live in **********) to look at doors. I have called two more times, and nothing has happened.

      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 the offer I reviewed appear below.



      [I met with ***** at the ********** showroom last night. He said he will price a new (different brand) of door for me, but I have already told *****, an owner of the company, that I will not be paying for the new door. I did not have the opportunity to reject the original door once installed, like they said I would, the threshold is too high and doesn’t meet building code requirements, and I’ve already paid full price that door. It’s a bad product they’re selling. It’s a trip hazard, they know it, and they have other doors (different brand) they could be offering. ***** says that it’s because I don’t have a deck to walk out on but a step down to my patio that the threshold on the current door seems too high. But it’s 3 inches above my kitchen floor. And if the fact I don’t have a deck makes the current door unacceptable then they should have put in a different door. Two different people came out, one to sell it, and one to measure up everything. I think one of them should have known and said something about that threshold. Sara, the scheduler, also told me over the phone that I’m not the only person having this issue. At present, ***** said it will be another week before they know something on the replacement door and he will talk with ***** about the price. Their solution to meet with me yesterday, which they did, does not resolve this issue. It won’t be resolved until I have a working, safe door and/ or my money back for the door I’ve already paid for.

      We are still working on a solution with this customer.  The customer's initial complaint stated they were willing to pay for 1/2 of a replacement option, that is what we have presented to the customer - we are waiting to hear back.  We do hope to resolve soon.

      [I have been waiting since I met with ***** at the ********** showroom on Oct 6 to hear back from them about the door. He said it would take a week. It’s been 2. I have not been given any idea of a price or a refund. ***** told me at the ********** showroom that these are hurricane rated doors and that’s why the threshold is so high! I told him then that we don’t have many hurricanes here in the Midwest and that product shouldn’t be sold here! He said they don’t like for him to sell the Provia doors bc those are not an Andersen product! Then why do you showcase them in the store? Obviously, they know their doors with the high threshold are not good. They are trip hazards. Even the guy in the ********** showroom who greeted me when I came to meet ***** said he trips on the threshold of the door they have set up into their break area! I can’t accept their solution until they give me one and a new door is installed at my home that is a good product, and a safe one that works right. It’s ridiculous that this is taking so long! ****, one of the owners, who came to my house to see the door that has too high a threshold, should have put this to bed right then. They are obviously giving me the runaround when he told me he, ONE OF THE OWNERS, had to get with a salesman to resolve this, and now they are lying saying they’ve offered me a solution when they haven’t even called me back yet from 2 weeks ago! I bought AND PAID for this in April. It’s now October and I can’t use my back door. I want a new door put on soon. I can’t accept a solution that is still in progress.

      I am waiting a response from ***** about the proposed door to replace the one I have. Waiting for confirmation/agreement that I will not make any payments until the door is installed and approved by me this time. Also waiting for a response on how to sign the agreement. Cannot call this matter resolved until the door is in place and is correct and safe.

      [The signed agreement does not guarantee my satisfaction that the issue is resolved. Again, this is a work in progress. I can’t say this is resolved until I have a safe, properly working door installed with an acceptable threshold height. It’s not my fault that it will take weeks to get the door in. They didn’t tell me THAT until AFTER I signed the agreement. It’s up to them how fast this gets resolved, not me. I’ve been dealing with this unsafe back door since July. I had to wait from April until July for them to get THAT one in. This new door is not the same kind of door, so it’s unclear why it should take so long. But whatever. Just quit asking me to accept a resolution that hasn’t happened, yet. That’s not disingenuous and not fair to me.
