      We purchased an enclosed 2nd floor patio from PATIO ENCLOSURES/Great Day Improvements back in July 2023. It’s now November 2023 and they still have not installed the patio and have no planned start date. Now I’m paying on a patio I do not have, as they charged the finance company, ********, and the bills are coming in. In addition to this, they already knocked off my bottom stairs to my patio. So I just have a giant hole in my upper patio. I've been told this is a code violation. I finally found out why the company won’t come out to finish the work, it turns out this company isn’t licensed to work in my county or my city and they cannot seem to get a license. As of November 6th 2023 they are not allowed to build in ****** ****** or in the City of *********. I contacted their offices about getting a refund and getting my upper floor deck fixed, but they are throwing the contract I signed in my face. I’ve made 4 payments on the deck and I’m on the hook now for tens of thousands of dollars for something they haven’t built and a hole in my deck. The city said charging me for work and knocking out my stairs is likely a violation of the law/code, so I believe my contract is null and void. What I would like is one of two possible solutions: 1: * Discount on agreed upon work to match current deals * All payments to be frozen until work is completed (they currently have 12 months no payments) * A commitment to when the work will start/finished * Official acknowledgment that they will do the electrical work * New draft of the design plans --OR-- 2: * Complete refund of everything paid and no 'legal' backlash or fees * 2nd floor deck repair to code * Account with ******** closed * Credit repaired for the points lost upon opening the account, as I'll need to now get financing from another company to replace my upper deck. I lost points though getting the ******** loan

      The business reached out and set up a meeting with me and my wife. They provided what I feel is accurate information regarding the delays, committed to doing follow-up on my short list of issues, and have developed a plan forward. Overall the team that reached out was very professional and had a great focus on customer service. The team impressed us and we are willing to see the project through, provided our action items from the meeting are addressed. 

      I believe most of my issues really came about from dealing with a team that was not local. When the team local to me reached out, the experience was so much better and the information given to us seemed clearer and less combative. 

      I think as long as I’m dealing with the local team and the communication stays this good, I’m comfortable closing this case.

      We paid a large chunk of money for a small back porch enclosure that included one sliding door and a sliding screen door . That was in the late summer. We were initially told the install would take 8-10 weeks to start. We were scheduled and rescheduled at least 3 times (due to delivery issues) which was frustrating, but we tried to understand. The install was done, and we loved the space. The quality of the product looked great, and the space looks great; however, two months later the sliding door became difficult to open, and the trim inside the slider was coming up out of the frame on the posterior edge of the door. The "pet proof" screen has also ripped away from the frame. I started calling around 9/20/23, leaving messages for someone to call and schedule a repair of the door and screen, and have yet to get a call back or be schecduled. Between 9/20 and 10/2 I left 3 voicemails on the local number. I left another message on 10/3, and used the chat online to get help. On 10/4, I was able to get ***** on the phone locally, but was told they were "too busy" and "short staffed" to help me. I was told they might be able to get to us the following Friday, but no appointment was scheduled. ***** said she would call next week. I received no call, and no one showed up on that Friday. After 2 more calls after that, on 10/17, I was told via text that the office contact person is no longer with the company - both the local and 800 numbers went to her cell phone, so I went back to the chat online for help. Since then I've left 4 more messages, I've chatted online 2 more times, and I still haven't gotten a call back. They were quick to schedule the quote, do the measurements, and take our money - but the customer service has been severely lacking. I just want the sliding door fixed, and the screen repaired. I don't need any money back, I just need their time to repair their product that is under warranty.

      We went into contract for an 18 x 22 3 season room on 10/24/22, and paid over $130,000.00 but construction didn't start until 5/22/23 (30 weeks from contract signing). The roof was supposed to be 6" insulated, but they installed 3" insulated foam instead. The roof leaks, even though they have supposedly fixed it 3 times now, every time it rains and has since caused interior damage to our home. We also paid for triangular transom windows, but after the contract was signed and the CAD drawings approved, we were told that they can't do the triangular transoms that we paid for. Two weeks ago the subcontractors were told to come pick up their tools from our property and no one has been back to work since. So the roof leaks, we don't have all the windows installed, the electrical has not been installed and they also have to install a new door. No one from Patio Enclosures or Great Day will return emails, phone calls, or text messages.

      The contract for our patio enclosure included a clause for a 10% reduction in the amount if the project was not completed on time per the contract. I have outlined the details below along with 2 attachments. Please see the attached contract and refer to the last paragraph on page 1 which details the 10% price reduction if the project was not started by 12 weeks following building permit approval. Please see attached picture of building permit inspection report showing the permit issue date of 10/27/22. Please see that the building inspection failed on 1/17/23 which was 2 weeks past the deadline Also, please review the dates that Great Day communicated to ******** (for 12mos same as cash financing) the project was completed as the final draw was made on 3/30/23. I've attached the contract, the building permit and screenshots of my ******** activity for a timeline showing the permit was approve 10/27/22 and that 3/30/23 Great Day Home Improvements/Patio Enclosure was paid the balance for the project completion. You will also see that I paid the contract in full to ******** on 7/30/23.

      Contract signed on 5/9/23. Work is still not completed. For months when I have contacted their office via email (they don't respond to voicemails) I have been told "Our records show the work has been completed". On 9/12/23 I emailed to inform them the flooring, stairs and electrical were not installed. They responded their records show the job complete and they took the final payment draw down. Flooring and stairs finally completed on 9/29/23. Electrical still not completed. Specifically, no line from house to sun room, fan and light not installed. Yesterday they told me they had reached out to electrician on 9/22/23 and yesterday 10/4/2023. Sent me the electrician's contact information - so now I'm expected to manage their sub-contractors?

      6-1-23 met with salesman, **** **** (************).Explained we’d like a permitted, screened in room put on our existing patio. My brother/******* ******** put in during Covid. Was told no permit needed since replacing existing patio. I had a hand drawn diagram of what was done. **** said might need to dig up and redo footers but that wouldn’t look good, Told him NO. **** said it shouldn’t be a problem.He convinced us to go with a sunroom instead of just a screen room. Had to put down 1/3 of $40,000 cost, check for $12,299.87 given. 6-7 met with **** who measured for the installation. 7-6 **** called ‘engineers want peer placement’. Got them, updated diagram in red and texted picture. Also spoke to regional sales manager **** ******** ************. 7-8 ****-having problems getting it permitted due to unpermitted patio. Can’t find work around, sent revised contract to ‘unpermitted’ for us to sign. I declined unless they wanted to take fiscal responsibility for any fines or deconstruction and rebuilding associated with doing so. Was told they would try to find a work around, ******** called wanted to know why, if we were ok to not have a permit for patio we needed one for sunroom. ‘They do these all the time without a permit, but now they’d be watching’. 7-13 will send cancellation for return of deposit. He said may be a fee for ‘work, plans already done’. Signed, dated but before I could send ******** called, said to wait. After a a few sent cancellation. 7-20 **** said his company wanted to keep the whole down payment. I said NO. Also spoke to ********. 8-7 ******** ‘can put in new footers and proceed. I said that would be ok as long as it didn’t add anymore to my cost. He said it would be an additional $8,000. Said he had an iron clad contract and I didn’t cancel within the 3 days. Told him to look at 11.1 of contract. 9-15 send registered letter to CEO, ******* ***. Recvd 9-18 no response. 9-19 ******** want us to proceed. I said no. HELP

      We sincerely apologize for your experience not being what we would hope for. According to our records, your project was sold as permitted. When we submitted the CAD request we needed additional structural details to support our permit submission. We were not provided with the documents to prove required inspections were done on the patio and we were assured by you that the slab was done according to code. Footers must be placed under the room walls to comply with county code. Due to this we were unable to get a permit. We can continue and install the room without a permit, but we will not be liable for any fees, fines, or re-work that results from the municipally violations. Or we can add the footers for the additional fee. The contract that you signed with us is legally binding and states the deposit will be retained if the cancelation is requested after 3 days. Thank you for reaching out.

       I am rejecting this response because:
      The salesman knew from the start we did not have a permitted slab. I showed him the drawing we had that my brother made and he told us it wouldn’t be a problem. He knew full well it would be a problem but as I’ve now learned this is a common practice by this company to force people to install unpermitted sunrooms. Which the salesman and regional manager both stated that they ‘do unpermitted all the time’. Their contract states if they fail to get the permit, funds will be returned (11.1) They are the ones breaking their contract. I am willing to pay them $300 for their trouble but they should not be rewarded for doing absolutely nothing except cause me health problems, worry and a smaller bank account.  I had asked them to provide the plans they supposedly had spent time on and was told by the manager none existed at this time. They have stolen my money and it should be returned. If you have suggestions I’d like to hear them or I will proceed on my own. Thank you.

      The inability to obtain a permit is no fault of our own. We were assured the pad was poured up to code but we were not supplied enough information to prove that. You have stated you wish to cancel your project after we offered 2 different solutions and that was well after the 3 day cancelation policy. We are expected to uphold our obligations under the contract and we expect that other parties to the contract will uphold their obligations.  Thank you.

       I am rejecting this response because patio enclosure and **** **** took our money under false pretenses. The salesman was told in specific detail how the patio was poured and he said it would not be a problem. We showed him the drawing, he took a picture. He said we might need to dig up and redo footers but I told him NO. He said they do these without a permit ‘all the time’ and again I said NO. As an experienced salesman he knew it would be a problem. They supposedly tried to find a workaround but what they came up with was us signing off on no permit or spending an additional $8000 to tear up a perfectly good patio which would then look bad according to **** or just let them steal our $12,000 + down payment for essentially scamming us. I have since found other complaints from consumers treated the same way. So evidently this IS how they make their $56 million a year.

      If BBB can’t offer any additional advice I will proceed on my own.

      Thank you for trying.

      April 21, 2023, A tree service company broke our front window when grinding a tree trunk and a stone flew hit our Stanek window! Owner wanted to pay for it right away, it took 21 calls to even get a response on a price quote, finally a response, the tree service owner fully paid May 31, 2023 of $1,007.93. ****** stated window will arrive July 7, 2023, however that was not the case, ****** stated our replacement window was not on the delivery truck! On June 29, 2023, ****** stated our replacement glass should arrive July 24,2023, she will let the service technician know we should be 1st scheduled. On July 25,2023, ****** stated our replacement glass arrived but its broken in their warehouse, sent pics! Great Day/Stanek broke our replacement glass didnt hear back, On August ******, called her to ask when will a new replacement glass come? ****** stated September 1, 2023, when it arrives will schedule installment service! On September 5,2023, didnt hear anything so I called ******, stated replacement glass is there, however - yes there is a however, the one person *****(*********************). to make us a priority but is busy catching up on other work, he will contact us when he will have room on his schedule!

Today is September 21, 2023 and I have yet to hear back from ***** or anyone else! Surely ***** cannot be the only one who can swap out a replacement glass! This REPLACEMENT GLASS has been fully paid for and ordered since MAY 31, 2023 3 1/2 months ago! My husband and I are nervous as our replacement glass is siting in Great Day/Stanek warehouse where they could break it again, its been there 3 weeks now!!

      ***** came an hour and a half ago,started looking at the window to be taken out and then looked at the windows in the dining room said they are triple pane, I said yes, all the Stanek windows in the house are triple pane glass. My husband and I were informed the new replacement glass is double pane (2 pane] glass. He said he could put the double pane glass in until a new order for triple pane comes in! My husband and I said NO WAY! It needs to be done right. It is suppose to be triple pane, *************************** , knows this! She has all the measurements and type of glass triple pane all on file. When she replace the glass in dining room twice over the years, she made sure It was triple pane. On May 23, 2023, my e-mail to ****** mentioned the triple panechecking on it before it was even fully paid for May 31, 2023. Not once was double pane ever mentioned at all. She has on file all triple pane in our home. This error needs to be corrected ASAP, we have waited so long for our replacement glass, October 1st 2023, is 3 days from now and Winter on its way! Incredible when you think how this glass was fully paid for, and order put in Spring/May!! We do not want this complaint closed until we have our triple pane SB60 glass installed. We do not want this complaint closed, the complaint with this company regarding our replacement glass has been ongoing preventing it from being installed.

      We are unsure what happened as to why the glass was not noted to be triple pane on your original order. We reached out to our manufacturing customer service department, who are the ones that place the orders for the glass, and they stated the glass type was not indicated to be triple pane in the system. We are very sorry for all the confusion. The correct triple pane glass has been ordered and it will ship on our next truck that will arrive at the end of the month. We will reach out for an installation date once the glass has been inspected. Thank you.

      We did receive the explanation in the form of a e-mail from ***************************,who said the manager from ******************* admitted the error was on their end. The order she sent to them was correct and stated triple pane on it. *************************** also said the triple pane glass would tentatively arrive to their location Friday, October 27th, she will contact us for ***** to install once the glass is inspected. No date for when our triple pane glass will be installed to our home. My husband and I noticed that in the past years when we had the dining room replacement glass triple pane replaced twice, 2 different years, there were always two guys swapping out the old glass for the new one. It is a big heavy triple pane picture window glass between two crank out casements diamond etchings on each side of ****************** in short time.. The  window in the living room looks just like the dining room, big heavy picture window replacement glass triple pane to be replaced between two crank out casements diamond etched. However, ***** came alone on September 28,2023, to replace in error a double pane which we refused, and he is only 1 guy. *************************** e-mailed in May/June 2023 that swapping out old replacement glass for new one is time sensitive! We feel too heavy for 1 person..since *************************** mentioned it is time sensitive this is a concern for my husband and I. After waiting for months and that this glass was fully paid for in May, all the problems since May of getting this glass installed, I would not like for the party who fully paid for this glass to be charged extra on a time sensitive glass installment.

We are awaiting your response. Thank you.

      They started working on my home project to create a sunroom since October 2022 and the work is still not finished. I have paid $130,000 For this job. Roof is leaking from the day one and they have come approximately 10 times to fix it but it isn’t resolved yet. The workmanship is in a very poor quality every time you call them they come after month and a half or after two months. This job supposed to be done within two week window and now it is over one year. I highly recommend everyone who is reading this not to do any business with this company if you want to save your money and headache.

       I am rejecting this response because:

      Leaking roof was never fixed. Sent email to project manager and never got any response back. 
      New wing glass was put two weeks ago and it is also leaking.

      We are aware of the leak and have responded to you via phone and email. You were informed that we will address the leak after you make your final payment, which is past due. If you do not make the final payment it will null and void your limited lifetime warranty. Thank you.

      This sunroom is been leaking from day one and it was never resolved by your company means job isn’t substantially finished. I also gave the check for remainder balance to *** your previous employee during signing the contract. But is your responsibility to finish and complete the work prior to cashing the check.

      We do not have your final payment, as we notified you last month via email your account is $10,786.01 past due. Your ******** account is now closed so we will need another form of payment from you. Your room is substantially complete. A roof leak is covered under your warranty and we stand behind our finished product. Thank you.

      I am not denying my last payment. ******** closed the file because your company hasn’t finish the work. ******** closes their file after one year. How this is my issue when you are unable to finish your job. To install the wings your company took entire year. This job should have been done in 2 months as promised by ***.  How can you call leaking roof to be a finished product. If you stand by your product you’ve already fixed that.

      i request BBB to take a strict action again your company.

      Very poor communication skills, for the most part no communication unless you contact them first. Our deposit wasn't processed correctly so that delayed our start date. Contract said project would be completed within 3 weeks of start date. Our Sunroom/deck project took a total of 15 months from start to finish, and there are still a few minor issues that were not resolved. Our project cost over $91K and we had to have it all paid before they started the project. Once they started, we had issues with supplies, the railings had to be ordered and reordered 3 times. They claim the manufacturing company sent the w***g railings. The roofing had to be installed twice, the 1st time the project manager just installed a shingle brand he chose by himself, we were no consulted. It had to be removed and replaced. The flooring in the sunroom itself had to be done 3 different times. 1st install was not laid correctly and was pulled and replaced. 2nd install was not rated for the heat of the sunroom and buckled and needed to be replace. The 3rd flooring was delivered and was not correct, because again the project manager did not discuss with us. It was reordered and installed. Windows were measured w***g and when they were delivered, they did not fit. Replacement windows apparently were on back order, then when they arrived, they were broken and had to be ordered again. They claimed they were completed with the project 9 months after start. We found many errors that needed to be corrected. We were not receiving communication in a timely manner, so we escalated to the CEO. We spoke with *** ****** and he got crews out here to fix the mistakes. They did not fix all of them, and now are not responding to emails/calls. Compensation was offered to us in the amount of $375. Which is a deduction of price of less than .5% of the total cost of the project. We were informed that the project manager was let go due to these issues and others with similar issues.

       I am rejecting this response because:
      I will agree that most of the issues were completed, but they were not completed until 7/28 not 7/26. There are a few minor issues that were not completed and one major issue. There was a damaged panel installed that needed to be replaced. The installer advised me to just paint over the damage to cover it up because he said it was a lot of work for him to replace it. That will definitely cover it up, however it will void my warranty. It specifically says we are not allowed to paint. 
      The project was not only delayed, but it was also a violation of our contract. It said it would be completed within a certain time frame and it was not. 
      We paid over $90,000 for the job to be completed correctly and on time and we received neither. We were lied to and ignored for periods of time. The repairs didn't even begin until we escalated the communication. I fully believe we should not be paying full price for the work that was done.

      According to our records we were unaware of the damaged panel, it was not notated by the previous field supervisor. Someone from the local branch will be reaching out to you to set up a service call to take care of this. Thank you.

       I am rejecting this response because:
      It is another example of poor or lack of communication. It was never shown to the previous field supervisor because he never came to our project. It was shown to the current **, and he took pictures. It was shown to the lead installer. When the crew came out for repairs, it was shown again to the installer and he sanded down the rough parts, but you can still see it was a damaged panel that was installed.  Someone from the local office did reach out to me on 9/15, 4 days prior to this response. I responded to them on 9/15, I could not give them the information they requested that day. So, on 9/16 I did send them the information they requested. As of 9/22, I still have not received a response. It is pretty clear that the communications and follow-up do not exist. The lack of communication, lack of follow through, the use of bad materials, and the installation of incorrect materials, all of this proves even more we are entitled to a refund. We are willing to settle this whole issue and end all further issues for a 18% refund of all monies paid to the company. It is clear that they did not deliver what they promised they would.

      Date: 09/29/2023

      We sincerely apologize for someone not getting in touch with you in a timely manner. Like many other companies, we have faced staffing challenges that have caused delays and miscommunications. Someone from your local branch will update you about the materials needed and set up a service call once the materials have arrived. We do not offer concessions. Thank you.

      Using the excuse "like other businesses" is not acceptable. If you would like to do things like other businesses, then start with not charging the full payment up front. Customers need a recourse for when you do what you do. Lack of communication and staffing is an excuse, if you are not able to perform projects as promised then you should not take on said projects. Other companies will give discounts for jobs not done completely or correctly. These are not "concessions", they are doing what is the right thing to do. 
      But, to go along with your "we do not offer concessions". I do not pay full price for lack of quality work, breach of contract and poor customer service. We are 18 months past signing the contract and we are still talking about it. I can see by past complaints; I am not the only one this has happened to. So this is obviously not an issue with lack of staffing "like other companies." 
      I am owed a discount to the price I paid due to breach of contract, lack of customer service poor quality.

      This has been going on for over a year. Ordered 3 windows for a large bathroom. Initially, the salesperson, Theo ordered the wrong color for the windows even though he had done all the upstairs windows and knew the color was not almond but grey. Due to this salesperson error, I was then told I needed to pay for his error and ended up paying about 1500 more. The windows came in and two were put in. The third one ended up having a cracked frame and could not be put in. They re-ordered the window. Months later, the third attempt was made. The window did not fit and cannot be closed properly. The installer recommended a re-order. I was told someone would be in contact with me. No one has. No one will respond to my calls or emails. The window does not close and my 94 year-old father uses that bathroom. Winter is approaching and I cannot have a window that does not work due to his various medical conditions not to mention the cost of heating.
