On November 7th DaBella windows came out to install new windows in my home. The windows they installed were improperly installed as I have had significant frost and condensation build up on the inside of my living room windows. It is so cold in my LR that I need to have a blanket over me to keep warm. I complained to the company several times and *****************, the District Mgr. came out in January, 2024, he agreed it was unusually cold near my windows. I told him during installation the crew removed the fiber glass insulation under my windows and when I asked the crew supervisor about it he told me it would be replaced with foam. Not a drop of foam was ever applied. **** also informed me he put in a "work order" with several items listed to be fixed, one being a broken window with punctured screen. That was in January, 2024. It is now June, 2024 and we haven't heard a peep from DaBella. Early June it rained with some strong winds and I had major water leakage coming in from the new windows. After contacting DaBella several times and only getting the receptionist, I physically went to their business and demanded someone come out. I was told crews were busy "drumming up new business ", isn't it more important to do a job right, and fix problems rather than drum up new business? Finally I was told someone would be out around 10:30, then it was 1:00, then 3:30, then 5:00. Finally 2 crew members showed up at 4:20. They told me they were using a Industrial strength " caulk. Yeah right, why didn't they use it in the 1st place. Today it's 2 weeks later and it's raining, and I have water coming in the same areas. Another day off work, and I can't get ahold of ANYONE at DaBella, even though I was given numbers to call in the event I had additional problems. I was texted back that they were on vacation but would try to get some one to call me. Mean while my drywall, wood ***** and **** floors are being damaged. More rain in forecast.Business Response

I am rejecting this response because: DaBella did show me a hole that was cut in the Jchannel, that they did, but continued to put the blame on the siding company. A rep. from DaBella took a picture of the hole and tried to patch it with ample amounts of caulking. It rained the next day and water continued to pour in but in 2 other places. The oak sill is now warping, my wall under the windows feels wet, I'll probably get black mold. On Sunday, June 16th a rep called from DaBella saying they'd be out between *****. I had to cancel my Father's day plans as thus is important to me, and I appreciate them coming out. Well they finally arrived at 1:46, 2 hrs LATE!! they only sent a text saying they were in traffic. Anyways they pulled the entire window out, found there was no drip channel, hole in ********, no insulation, and less than half the window had been caulked. 2 guys reinstalled the window, but at 4:00 am I awoke to water pouring in from 2 locations since I called ***** the installer, he came out and recaulked the entire window AGAIN. I fear I will always have problems stemming from this and my biggest fear is mold. They tore out all the fiber glass insulation under my window saying they were putting all this foam insulation and I would be toasty and warm. It is so cold and I have frost and condensation built up on my windows all winter long. The lack of insulation might be the problem. I am totally not pleased with any of this company's business tactics. I still have a broken window with a punctured screen, I was told a work order was completed back in January but it's now June 17th and nothing has been done.
Sincerely,

After consulting with the local branch and third-party inspectors, it has been determined that the leaks are not due to the window installation. However, we are committed to providing the best experience for our homeowners. We will be performing an air leak test and addressing the *** of the customer's window sash and the torn window screen, as stated in the customer's original complaint. One of our team members will be in contact with the customer to schedule this as we continue to resolve the issues.
Thank you for your understanding and patience.

I am rejecting this response because:
DaBella came back out and finally admitted that it is not the siding company fault that the windows they installed are continuing yo leak. In another recent storm I had almost every window leaking with rain pouring in. DaBella sent out 2 guys and they tore the siding off and put a barrier tape down around 2 of the 14 windows they installed. They taped, recaulked and put the same siding back on. They NEVER did an "air test" as stated by their rep in former response. The siding job looks like a blind man or a 5 yr old replaced the siding. It's NOT ACCEPTABLE. even their rep said it looks like "Sht". He told me he texted his boss and said we need to buy her new siding and replace it as it got destroyed in removing it. In addition, they destroyed my shrubs in front of the windows they recaulked. My association will bill me for the cost of replacement. I will give them that bill. Why would you create yet another problem? I have looked into an attorney as I feel this is going to be a continuing battle with lip service from their rep. It's now July 3rd and only 4 of the 14 windows have been looked at. Still broken window not fixed. I'm waiting on the next storm/rain to see if their repair job holds. Fingers crossed.

I have been trying to get an itemized Invoice from DaBella for almost 2 months. The windows are great. The installers were wonderful, but DaBella totally lacks integrity and transparency in my opinion. I believe I should know what I paid for.

This company sent a sales person to my widow mothers house. The salesperson told her she had black mold without any evidence and told her she needed to replace all the windows in the whole house for $20k. Pressured her into signing a contract on the spot and giving $2k down without getting a second opinion. Super scammy salespeople and company. I already advised her to call her bank and put a stop payment on the down payment. Tried calling to cancel the contract but they are closed on the weekend.Business Response

We hired DaBella to replace my roof back in November 2023. The subcontractor they hired damaged the vinyl siding in multiple spots that were noticed at the time the job was completed. (They also broke a gutter clip, but that wasn't seen until a month later)This was communicated to ******* the project manager, who we thought would do good by us and get them to come make the promised repairs in a week or two as they had stated.The weather was starting to turn and we wanted to give them the benefit of the doubt, but it is now June and we haven't heard from the subcontractor, her or anyone else at DaBella since.Business Response

Complaint: 21818402
I am rejecting this response because: the company agreed that the damage should not have occurred and offered a signed addendum guaranteeing reimbursement not to exceed $750 for repairs because her GM stated "it shouldn't cost more than that to repair".(That was on Friday 6/14, and that still hasn't been received in the mail or email.) I contacted 4 companies to get a quote and start moving forward, and only one that came back with a quoted amount stating "there's no way to properly repair the j channel or corner posts without removing the siding top down" and an estimate of 4-5k. Upon hearing this i reached back out to ******* yesterday afternoon to make her aware and haven't heard back as of yet.If the company is able to find someone for the lesser amount and send them to make the repairs, I'm all for it. But having attempted to get 4 different quotes, the one received is not even in the same ballpark amount of whats been offered

I am rejecting this response because:There is no other way to keep the case open until resolved, and I'm unsure if I accept the complaint if it can be reopened if DaBella doesn't follow through on the repairs?
DaBella sent a subcontractor over on 7/03 to take a look and provide them a quote for repair. I haven't heard any update since then, so I'm not sure where that stands now? Today is the final day I have to respond to the complaint per the email.
If the last resolution from the business to get the repairs made is completed and the work is satisfactorily done, I absolutely agree with that and moving forward to get this case closed.

I am rejecting this response because:again, only option to keep the case open until fully resolved. Not an actual rejection
The crew came out on 7/24 and made repairs to the corners and j channels. The repairs there are done satisfactorily, thank you.
The gutter clip(/s?) however has not yet been repaired, and my last 2 attempts to contact ******* have gone unanswered. In the beginning she stated that repair was easy, so I was surprised to see that not addressed with the other repairs? The location of that gutter is directly above my front door, which created an icy nightmare last winter I'd like not to repeat again.
Once that last detail is repaired, I'm completely satisfied and the case can be closed

Complaint: 21818402
I am rejecting this response because:I was told that the gutter was in pretty bad shape. It was older for sure, but was still functional as intended prior to the gutter clip being broken. I'm guessing the months in between it happening and being out in the elements probably did make it beyond repair or worse off with a clip alone not being enough to remedy the situation after. However being given the suggestion after to have DaBella quote me out for full replacement was laughable. After this long and me doing far more than I should've needed to do, the last thing I was about to do is more business with your company with its lack of care and customer support on a new project. The only reason I saw any movement at all was because of this BBB claim, not because the business felt the need to make right, but because higher up the corporate ladder told them it needed to happen.
So I guess I'll take it from here by handling the gutter replacement myself, and call it a partial resolution with the siding repairs having been made.
The case can be closed

Last year we had DaBellas from ******, ********** put in our new siding which we love they talked us into doing windows which we needed new windows and showed us windows that we thought we were getting but then switch them out when the installation came, but that was not the only problem. The main problem is that the windows that they brought were generic size windows and did not fit the holes that were left in our house, so a lot of caulk and pieces of wood were used to make the windows fit. And then when the job was not finished properly, we were promised that it was a service issue and we needed to pay start paying the bill and they would come out and finish the hem. That was in January. Our windows are still looking the way they do and I have a very good video of it .Business Response

DaBella sold us on their promises of a quality roof which would be done in 3 days, and also stellar customer service. May 21st, most of the roof was done, but skylight was not installed and we were unaware it wouldn't be. That same day, the ******* of the job said he would return on the 28th to install the skylight but when he did come back, he did something else, then asked me to sign that the job was completed. I didn't sign it. I have repeatedly tried to call the project manager and she has not returned my calls. We want to know when the job will be done. There are two areas where the siding meets the roof which are opened at that roof line and another area which looks unfinished. The ******* said he would fix those, but in another place similar, he put an unpainted board. There is no way I can paint those while they are up and if it was his intention to put them up without painting, I would even paint it myself, though it isn't my job. We spotted those and he did not bring them to our attention. To our knowledge, the rest of the roof looks good, but we would like someone to take a look at the work and inspect it when this job is completed and skylight installed.My husband has *********** Disease and uses the sunroom a lot, our plants rely on the sun, and we have travel plans. It is an inconvenience not to have the job completed.We are easygoing people who bought Subway lunch for 10 roofers, we respect people. We expect the same kind of respect and require communication, job completion and work inspected.Business Response

We would like to thank the customer for bringing this to our attention and for providing lunch for our installers.We informed the homeowner that we would return to install the skylight once it was ready and provided a service ticket for reference.Regarding the need to revisit the site, the homeowner contacted us about an issue with the ridge on the roof, which we promptly addressed the next day.While the roof is complete, the skylight installation will be handled separately. We understand the timing concerns, but custom skylights can take up to four weeks to manufacture, which is beyond Dabella's control. We will keep the customer updated.
We appreciate the homeowner's patience and understanding as we work to ensure their complete satisfaction.

I am rejecting this response because:
The skylight was to take 4 weeks from measuring and that was May 22nd. The promise was for 4 weeks when originally we were told it was three days, but we accepted that and believed it would be installed by June 22nd. Now we are we have been informed the skylight can take up to July 27th. There is no way we can possibly understand this delay.
Please clarify what the holdup is and what company you are using which takes over 2 months to get a skylight.Sincerely,

Brookings, OR 97415
To: B.B.B.
Quick timeline is that April 21st, measurements were taken for skylight when we signed for the roof to be done. May 21st, the roof was completed by a roofing contractor hired by DaBella out of the **********, OR office. THe surprise was that the skylight was not installed, but office manager, who also is the project manager, said more accurate measurements were needed, and these were done on day skylight was removed. She said it would be installed in a week or two. We had not signeed completion of the job, but a rep came and obtained it, saying it would be done by June 21st as 4 weeks was needed. And added the extra holes to be repaired on the siding. We did not receive a copy of the repair notice. June 14th, I received a text message stating that the skylight would be in between June 27th-July 27th. I called a company who makes skylights in **** and they said that the 3by6 size needed now comes stock.
I have questions and need a call to talk to someone in a position to provide answers and no one is calling with solid answers. The last I heard was that special order was necessary because 3x6 is outside the dimensions of the stock warranty. I think it may be because they only recently made it stock item and DaBella just needs to update page 2 of their contract.
In any case, we need out job done when promised. We thought paying the extra money would give us good customer service and this has not been the case in terms of answers.

I am rejecting this response because:The day after writing the last BBB response, I received a phone call from a **** ******** at DaBella saying the skylight was arriving on July 2nd and the project manager would be setting up to schedule for installation by last Friday, July 5th. Instead, I read the BBB response made which stated something different so I immediately called DaBella who said the skylight had been delivered. The rep was ***** who said that paperwork said the skylight had been delivered. I got ahold of **** who works in the ********** office from an old text message and he said the skylight was not there and would arrive July 15th, that he had seen an email from Velux stating that. Which is it? Who is correct? Was it received or not? We want solid delivery and installation dates, friends arrive next week, we have had to put travel plans on hold, and we want more communication, a customer service promise ********************** makes to its customers which **** us to them in the first place as this is a time when taking care of the customer is truly necessary. We should not have to dance through hoops like this, any changes or anything different should have been immediately addressed by the WHite **** office. We could have made several trips over the past 7 weeks, 49 days, since the new roof was put on and the light in the sunroom went dark.

I am rejecting this response because:There has been no communication between the general manager keeping us in the loop with updates. Thank goodness for receiving information through BBB. Calling the DaBella customer service number only results in long wait times and the pleasant reps, once they do answer, cannot seem to get any information or can they get anyone from the ********** office to call me back.
I learned today directly from Velux in ************** that 6 weeks maximum is the time for a custom skylight unless it is a commercial order which could take up to 2 and a half months. They only needed the order number to check up on this order which was not made available to me. Their number is ************. Receiving the skylight on July 31st puts us at the 10 week **** and seems excessive without further explanation as to why this is happening.
We appreciate working with businesses which really do what they say they do, and live their sales pitch which is that they will be there for the customer. It is true that weather is not currently rainy, but living on the coast we get lots of fog and the brightness of that room really helps my husband who has *********** Disease and spends a lot of time in there.

March 2024, we agreed to purchase a new roof from DaBella. Their agent/salesperson told us we qualified for six months deferred financing. If not for that, we would not have continued. After the work was completed, we received a bill from Aqua finance due April 27th (!). The statement was dated April 2nd. for $356.45. We contacted DaBella by phone (customer service) and were promised a check for six months of payments. It has been more than two weeks, and no check has been received. We feel taken advantage of. The salesman was Recan Rasheed. The boss assured us that we could get deferred financing. When we called again, he said we weren't eligible. Aqua Finance has contacted us repeatedly, and finally agreed to accept payments of $50.00 per month until a bill is paid off in October, but this situation will adversely affect my credit score.

On 2/8/24 ******* came to speak to us about replacing windows, after 3 long hours, we were convinced to buy at least 3. I gave him a $500 dep and was never given a copy of the contract, nor did I hear from anyone until I reached out 2/23, I then got in touch with ***************************, the only concern he had was that a form was not signed, so he came to my house 2/25. 2/29, we were approved for the financing through them and a Synchrony card. On 3/1, there was an additional down payment of $150 req. 3/13 as I hadn't heard back from anyone, I was thinking it was fraud so I wanted to cancel. One rep told me I will owe $15k if I cancel, On a $5k project?? When I brought up about the fraud, I was finally given a copy of the contract on 3/14. Spoke to mgr, and he again said it was all ok and therefore we would go ahead and proceed. Tried contacting the same Mgr, on 3/23 no response, until 3/27. 4/5 ***** reached out to me, only because they found out that I had stopped payment on the original check and needed to come get another one, which he came and got $500 on 4/10. 4/26 an installer named ***** called to schedule the install for 5/8 12-1pm. After moving all of the items away from the windows, and in between selling house, and yard sale, it was done and waiting for the installer to come. By 2pm on 5/8, I had gotten sick of waiting, so I called ***** and he said It was canceled, he got a text the night before, They didn't call you or text you. NOPE, Not a word. Why was it canceled? Due to financing. WHAT?? It's their Credit Card I was approved for!! With a $0 balance!! By this time, I have had it, and I just wanted to be done with this joke of a company! On 5/14, I was finally contacted by Mgr, and I told him I wanted my $650 back, he said I'm not going to get it, he was going to bring in his ********** and I was going to lose bad. I hung up... His mgr called, I didn't answer. I refuse to talk to anyone at a company that threatens me with ********** and Court.Business Response

We apologize for any confusion surrounding the customers window project. We have spoken with the customer and confirmed a copy of contract and addendum was received by hand delivery. The customers installation was scheduled as stated, however, since the customer filed a fraud claim and complaint with the lender in charge of their financing, we are unable to complete the installation until the claim is removed. We have never cancelled their project and have been actively trying to complete the window installation. At this time the customer has requested to cancel the project and receive a full refund of their deposit. Since the recission period to cancel this project has long since passed and the windows have been manufactured specifically to meet the needs of their home, we will be retaining the deposit, according to the contract terms. In an effort to work with the customer, we have agreed to waive the late cancellation fee should they chose to move forward with the cancellation. The customer was never told they would be charged $15,000 to cancel.
We have spoken with the customer in length and explained we are happy to install the windows and their financing is still approved, we would just need the lender fraud claim and complaint removed. The customer chose to move forward with the cancellation and the terms that were explained above.

I am rejecting this response because: All the people at this company are liars! When their people are the ones making a mistake, they blame the consumer. After reading all the complaints now, why would I want the windows installed, after THEY canceled? A lot of complaints about wrong measurements, issues with the windows trying to fit in, and leaks? I really choose not to deal with more issues and this company. My salesman was an EX *** player, and I guess I expected more than I got. I will be contacting tv channels and reporting them to different agencies. These people are CROOKS!
