Brett Olson and Carl were the exception. They knew there product. Very professional. Pella should take good care of these 2 representatives. The photos are before new ones and they promise to replace my fogged-in windows with, Pella, best windows anywhere. Ill continue my review after installation. Thanks guys.
Ordered a complete replacement for my house (over 30 windows). Thought going with a name like Pella would be better than going with HD since you get what you pay for, but not this time. The windows that were installed correctly are good, but like others on this site, there have been too many unresolved issues with no communication....Wrong windows delivered, some windows installed with finishing nails and not screws, grids inside one window is slanted, paid for all wooden jams and had 3 windows installed with vinyl jams (with plastic caps to hide screw holes), window sills caulked together, painted over nails that were left exposed and not counter sunk into trim, craftsmanship of finishing crew leaves much to be desired.Initially, communication was good and was told that everything would be fixed. (could never get anyone to put it in writing). Had some people come by and fix a few of windows after the initial discussion and then said they would be back. However, that was over 5 weeks ago with no additional communication I have emailed and called people from my initial sales person (Brett) to someone in Richmond (Scott) and no one has gotten back to me. They have even left supplies all over my garage and drive way. Im still hopeful that this can be resolved since Ive paid for my windows even before they got installed.Here are some pictures of how a completed installed window looks like and how most of my house looks since.
This has now be going on for a couple years after the install. Everything up to install was fine, even having to wait for replacements. I am a patient person.Install went smoothly. Replaced all windows and sliding door on original windows that had never been changed out since the place was built in 1982.All windows are fine except for one! Now keep this in mind, I live on the beach on the Chesapeake Bay. My waterside windows and sliding door need to handle strong winds and rain. I ordered what they recommended.With-in the first hard rain, I had dripping water coming out of the top frame of one of my bedroom windows. Filled a giant glass mug that I have(permanently sits in that window now). These windows NEVER leaked before.After the windows were installed new siding was installed.. the leak had started before the siding was ever installed.. yet when I talked to Pella about this.. they blamed the siding company.. then they blamed my roof top deck... that has not been changed, then they blamed my new gutters that got installed AFTER the siding which was long AFTER the window install. I have been given excuse after excuse and they came out and put tape on the window saying good to go.. still leaks.Here are the facts..1. Never leaked with old windows.2. Window got installed and leaked before any other work was even started.3. They have made an attempt to put tape on the flange.4. They have said its not their issue. They didnt cause the leak.5. They have blamed it on everything else and said our windows NEVER leak!6. They stand by their products just not their installs.7. Installed in 2019... window still leaks to this day.Do yourself a favor, read all documentation. Doesnt matter how much you spend on whatever fancy windows they sell you.. if the install is not right.. wont matter.And Pella if you respond to this.. I will not be in contact with you about this anymore.. I am fixing it myself. I have filed a complaint with your corporate office, social media team and the local office.. None of it matters.Have a great day all! Knowledge is power so hopefully this will help someone out. I just hope others get better service/luck than I did.
I was interested in Pella because of the high reputation they hold. I received a promotional flyer that had some very good financing options so I decided to explore it further. I had an appointment with Chris Thomas and after meeting with him I felt my knowledge and understanding of the whole window system of a house and the important role it has overall was significantly higher. Chris helped determine the right product line and style that suited my needs, budget and style best. He was very thorough. He gave several options for financing if I were to choose Pella. Ultimately I decided to purchase from Pella because of their reputation, warranties and promotional terms that just made sense invest. The knowledge learned from the appointment alone makes me a wiser homeowner and real estate (asset) owner.
I stopped by the showroom in Norfolk in February where I met Chase Thomas. I really didn’t know what to expect when it came to windows, but he did a great job of showing me all the options. We set a date and he came out and measured and gave me a price. Although the price was a bit higher than I expected I could see the value in going with a company like Pella. Pella stands by there work, and I did not get that same feeling with other companies. The install went really well. Robert Martinez the project manager stopped by and made sure everything was going well and to my satisfaction. All in all a great experience.
I just had my Vinyl sliding door installed by Pella. From the first meeting with Chase Thomas to the install everything was a 5 star experience. Chase had great knowledge, and a no pressure attitude. The install took half a day and they were in and out and cleaned up after themselves. Great experience.
I had an incredible experience working with Chase Thomas and Pella. Chase was the 4th sales rep I had out and he was by far the most educated, and well mannered. Window world was 45 minutes late. Mr.Rogers made me feel extremely uncomfortable with there high pressured close, and the Thompson Creek rep seemed like he got hired yesterday. Once I selected pella, Morgan my project manager came out, and was extremely knowledgeable regarding the installation and what I should expect. The install was on time, and extremely efficient. The install crew was excellent, and very kind. I was told my install would take 3 days, and that’s exactly how long it took. Best decision I could have made for this project was choosing pella.
I just had my brand new windows and door installed by Pella. When I decided to do this project I originally got 4 quotes. Thompson Creek, Mr.Rogers, Window World, and of course Pella. The sales rep Chase Thomas, came out and was the only sales rep that put no pressure on me. The lead times were 15-18 weeks which is longer than what I wanted to wait, but I could tell it was a product worth waiting for. Chase described the installation to me in detail. The installation went exactly how It was described to me. They protected my house, installed the new windows and door, and cleaned up after themselves when they finished. The install crew was efficient and extremely effective with there time. Im so glad I went through Pella for this project, and will be a returning customer.
David did a fantastic job telling us about the windows. Great job 👏
Pellas product speaks for itself, but thanks to Chase Thomas for finding the best solution not only for my home, but for my budget. I just had my Morning Sky Gray Impervia (Fiberglass) windows installed. They are GORGEOUS, and I can’t be more thrilled with the results. From the first meeting to the installation, Pella lived up to the name. 5 stars!
I bought three new windows and two sliding doors for over $6k. One door came with a broken lock. You would think this was a simple request to get it replaced but I have been chasing the Sales office for days with no service appointment. Then they offered me to go to their store and pay for it if I dont want to wait for their service to call or schedule an appointment. How can I wait days for the service appointment without locking the sliding door for security?You spend 6K and they expect you to pay $15 for a defective product. Very sloppy sales attitude. Hope to never have to deal with them again.
Completely unprofessional with how they manage customer experience. Despite multiple visits to measure (huge inconvenience to any working couple), they showed up with wrong size windows (off by 5 inches!). This after taking a 50% deposit and holding onto my money for 3+ months! I had to reach back out to them to get any sense of how they planned to resolve...waited over two weeks and then decided to go with another company. Now they wont refund my deposit. Whatever happened to customer is always right, especially when the mistake was 100% on Pella? Do not recommend - do not use them!
From start to finish my experience with Pella has been incredible. From my first initial visit with Chase Thomas who helped me narrow down the best product for my budget. Followed by Robert who came out and explained the installation process. To the professional install crew who showed up on time, completed the job, and cleaned up after themselves. Overall the entire process has been one of a kind, and I can’t thank Pella enough. I will always recommend Chase Thomas and Pella!
I needed a new patio door in a bad way and Chase Thomas was a life saver. As a sales rep he was knowledgeable, honest, communicative. He gave me a great price and I would recommend Pella to anyone in need of a new door.
Brett was great and the install crew was super professional! My sons windows look amazing !! Everything he promised and more in the initial consultation!
Brett our rep was awesome and the crew that came out was over the top professional!My parents house looks amazing !!
Thanks Pella for coming out and giving me a free estimate. Chase Thomas was on time and a great resource. Excited to partner with Pella.
Husbands parents house looks amazing! Brett was great and the crew that installed were top notch !
Shane came to our house and represented Pella well. He was professional, courteous, and wasnt pushy about anything. It wasnt the 3hr high stakes sales presentation everyone fears(thankfully) our project was a large sum of money and that process can definitely make you think twice but Shane did a good job of making sure that we had our questions answered and felt comfortable with our decision. Thank you and we look forward to install day, and hopefully a future business relationship worth having for our home!
We had a consultation with Brett about windows for our home. Brett was punctual for our appointment. Very knowledgeable about the business and products. He took the time to explain the process to us and answer all of our questions and was very considerate. We highly recommend Brett when making decisions about your home using Pella products and look forward to working with him soon. -Anthony Wright
I wasn’t ready yet but have been looking into helping my parents install new windows and doors. Chase was quick and very helpful in providing all the information I needed about installation and my options. I will 100% be getting their service and recommend that anyone contact them for window or door installation needs!
Although we have not had our windows installed yet, I wanted to share the excellent experience we have had so far from our salesperson, Chase Thomas. Chase is extremely knowledgeable about window installation and showed us a variety of options with windows that he brought with him to our appointment. In addition to the window samples, he showed us a device used to demonstrate the energy efficiency of our current windows vs the new windows. Chase was able to answer all of our questions and assured us he will be with us each step of the way, from the window verification process to the installation.
I just bought my first house, and Chase came by and gave me some great advise on replacing my windows and my front door. He didn’t put any pressure on me to make a decision, and I was really grateful for his relaxed and calm presence. He had a big smile on his face the entire time!
We had Chase T come out to provide us with a quote for a new custom sliding glass door. Chase arrived at our home, on time and with a professional attitude. He demonstrated his extensive knowledge of all the varying products that Pella has to offer. He listened attentively, and was able to put together a solution that exceeded our expectation. Our family highly recommends Chase and Pella.
Brett Olson was a great help!!! Nice guy. If the installation goes as well as the consultation I will be thrilled.
I was pleased with the professionalism of their in-home sales associate, Chase Thomas. He was well informed on their products and patient with all my questions. He was respectful and gave me space to make my decisions without being pushy or being a high pressure salesman. I appreciated that and look forward to our new Pella door being installed.
Chase came over today and even got here early for us. He was very polite and professional. We are eagerly awaiting our new front and back doors! Chase was great in showing us good suggestions as we really had no clue about styles or what would look good on our house. Will post again with more details when we get our doors in 12 weeks!
A friend referred me to Pella and suggested I call and ask for Chase Thomas, who had helped her select a window replacement a month ago. I experienced excellent sales service by Chase, who met me at the showroom and came to my house to get exact measurements in the same day. Chase was very professional, friendly and courteous. I know I am getting an excellent product with Pella Doors. Thank you!
We are building a custom home in an older established neighborhood and wanted windows that mimicked the look of the old fashion wood pane windows. I fell in-love with Pellas Architect Series but was concerned because I had heard that Pella did not have the best service reputation. However, I could not find any other brand that gave me the sense of beauty and quality as the Architect Series offered so I decided to check out the store in Va. Beach.Our salesman, Jim Britt, was very accommodating and patient with us as we evaluated the various window styles (casement verses double hung) and window and door hardware color options. I also wanted a special size front, side and back door and Jim coordinated all of this for us. Jim was lightning quick to respond to all my texts and made me feel I could contact him any time for any reason on any thing!! I can honestly say that the service I have received from Jim at Pella has been without a doubt exceptional.When all the windows and doors were installed, one of the door locks did not work. My builder contacted Pella and was told a new lock was on its way. No hassle there.The doors and windows are solid and lovely. I ended up choosing a mixture of casement and double hung and cannot wait to use my screens as I bought the vivid view, which gives a higher transparency when looking out the window as opposed to the regular screens. Also, the casement windows offer a retractable screen that rolls up and stays hidden when not used. A great idea when storage space is always an issue. So you can say that I am very pleased with the product and with the service from Pellas sales rep, Jim!!! We are only weeks away before we will be able to move into our lovely home and enjoy the views from our windows and doors. Thank you, Pella! And thank you, Jim!
Good, efficient service. Saw what needed to be done and scheduled it right away. Price was fair for the item needed and selection was adequate. Salesman came to me and had what he needed. Overall a class act.
Chase and Greg where very professional. They answered all of are questions and got us on the right path to the whole scope of our project. So we are getting the windows, cant wait tell they are installed. Thank you Chase / Greg
Chris T with Pella is a true professional. Responded quickly and with great communication. Tailored everything to our specific situation and made informed, responsive recommendations.Still working through our project scope at this time, but first impressions were fantastic. Will update this review if anything changes, but so far, so good!
Sign on door said open, they werent. Google said they were open, they werent.I left a voicemail 4 days ago wanting a price on a door, no return call..
Great experience doing business with Pella. We were pleased with the efficiency of the process, responsiveness, quality of the product and install service with competitive prices. Chris Thomas was especially helpful replacing our doors. It went so well, we bought more.
One day install was not complete. They didn’t have all the materials and installed a threshold that is damaged and the wrong color, not even close. Install on Monday and it’s now Wednesday at 1pm.I have called 5 times and spoke with four different people, left a message on the fifth call.Door is great and this would be a 4 or five star review except there doesn’t seem to be much interest in getting this completed.
Chase Thomas is THE guy! Very professional, courteous, and straight forward. He really helped us out with picking our front door and ensured we are 100% taken care of. If you are thinking of doing business with Pella, I highly recommend you ask for Chase by name.
Brett and Jason were great and thorough when walking me through the process of replacing my doors. Also offered great financing options. Pella doors and windows definitely exceeded my expectations. They showed me design options I never thought about. They created a home for design dream for me and are making it a reality!
Chase came out and gave me an estimate. I’ve always been told to get three estimates. Mr Rogers was extremely expensive and put way to much pressure on me. Window world was 12 month out from installation and didn’t even show me a window. Chase came in and gave me a no pressure estimate, and really made this a no brainer decision for me. He went through all of our options, and I can’t wait to have my new windows installed. Thanks Chase and Pella!
Chris was great for our first consultation! He was very informative and has a lot of experience. This was an excellent first impression so far with the company!
Chase was very informative and helpful in demonstrating and explaining the replacement Windows. He gets 5 stars in my book!!! Can’t wait to get my new replacement Windows!!!!!!
Chase came out to give as an estimate today. We shared with him our wants, concerns and budget and right away he knew exactly which products he wanted to quote us. There was no strong arm sales pitch, the product quality was great, and we are looking forward to our install next year. Can’t wait to have my dream door!
We have not had the windows installed yet and will post an update when we have but our experience with the sales gentleman, Chase, has been great. He explained things throughly but efficiently. He has promptly responded to all of our email questions. Looking forward to our new windows!
Brett was great. He was very informative .I definitely recommend to others thanks for the dedication
Chris Thomas was a pleasure to talk with; he was very personable, professional, and extremely knowledgeable about Pella products. Chris laid out many options and offered very sound advice. Thank you
Incompetence at its best:I ordered window replacements in September of last year. The wrong size of windows came. My window was boarded up for months in winter. The right size finally came... But there was a broken bracket. They sent a replacement bracket weeks later and it was the wrong size. It’s now late May and I was just told that the new bracket will take another month to arrive.
Brett was amazing. Showed us all our options in doors and explained the process! Can’t wait to see our new door !
Cody and Chase came out to my home for my consultation. I needed a huge 3 panel sliding door replaced. They were on time, friendly, and super knowledgeable on their product. They didnt try to sell me anything I dont need which was nice. They were fun to talk to and made the process super easy. I am excited to work with the company for my install in the upcoming weeks. Thanks guys!
Hope to have them replace our windows. Shane was very pleasant and easy going while being totally professional. You could tell he takes his job to heart and loves his company! A breath of fresh air after some of the window companies we have had do estimates!
Chase Thomas came to our home on time and exhibited product knowledge and professionalism throughout the visit. The product has been ordered and will be installed soon. We are looking forward to having a new front door and sidelights that set off the appearance of our entryway. I highly recommend Chase and believe he is the right person to determine your Pella needs. We are grateful.
We had an appointment today with Chris Thomas regarding window replacements. He arrived on time and was very courteous. Chris was knowledgable of the products and his presentation was thorough. We asked questions and received clear and concise feedback. It was a pleasure having him in our home.
Chase Thomas was fantastic. Very professional, on time, informative. It was pleasure talking with him and learned alot about your product.
I am super happy to work with Brett, he was GREAT!! We had our appointment and the appointment went great! We will be doing business with him soon, can’t wait!! Thanks Brett!!
Cant wait to see my in laws windows! Brett was awesome!
Every step of this process was smooth and painless (except for the bill). Yes, the products are a bit more than some competitors, but I cannot imagine I will find a more superior product, especially with the warranty.We live in a historic district and Pella was the only company able to match our existing windows. They nailed it! Even our neighborhood hawk eye won’t know the difference!
Shane C was very helpful. Answered all my questions. Will definitely refer him and Pella to my friends, family and neighbors.
Cant wait to see my doors and windows Brett was beyond awesome!
For the past couple of months my Husband and I have been looking at multiple door companies to replace our existing exterior doors and storm doors. After having multiple companies come out we were beyond impressed with Brett Olson from Pella doors. During the entire consultation he took the time to really hear what we wanted and answered all of our questions about the products that we were choosing. He was extremely personable and professional which was also an important factor for us. For anyone that is in the market for new doors for their home I highly recommend contacting Pella Doors Virginia Beach and schedule a consultation with Mr. Olson.
We met with Chase for a consultation to replace our windows and front door. He was considerate, knowledgeable, and professional. He answered all our questions so that we were confident in our decision to give Pella our business.
Brett was very professional and knowledgeable ! Glad to go with pella windows .
Chris was a true professional. It was a no brainer decision for me. I was relieved on what Chris shared with me when it came to installation time frame. Window world was 12 months out, and didn’t even bring a window in to show me.
The sales process was very professional. Pella representatives were thorough and helpful. Pella offers a high quality product at a competitive price.
Chris Thomas, Senior Design Consultant, explained the Pella options in a professional, thorough and understandable way. He creates a great first impression for Pella.
I called the Virginia Beach showroom because I have been thinking about getting new windows in my home. I was able to stop by the same day, and worked with Chase Thomas. He was extremely helpful and was able to answer all my questions. Not only does Pella offer great service, but the windows are beautiful!
Brett came to our home for a door estimate and he was on time, professional, knowledgeable and very personable! He did a great job explaining the product and gave me a price good enough to cancel with another vendor! Thanks again!
Brett was awesome, can’t wait to see our new windows!
Shane was very professional, explained everything clearly and even brought in models of doors to show me how things worked. Would definitely recommend to a friend if they were looking for new doors.
Called go have a door serviced and never recieved a call back. I wont order doors again.
We received a quote from Chris Thomas. He was very knowledgeable and helped walk us through all of our questions. Thank you!
Chris was very knowledgeable about the product, and patient when I kept changing my mind.
Pella was everything I could ask for. Chase Thomas came to my house and exhibited exceptional customer service. They conducted a speedy repair of my bedroom window and their competitive pricing makes for the perfect company. I will definitely be using their services again and again.
Recently had a Brett Olson take a look at my home for a few upgrades. He was very knowledgeable and provided sound advice. Great service. Highly recommend!
Called the Virginia Beach showroom, and was able to visit the same day. I worked with Chase Thomas and he was extremely helpful. Not only was he kind and willing to work with my budget, but he also had a great understanding of the product. Can’t wait to get my project started with Pella!
Brett was so informative, excited to see my parents windows!
Simply put, Im not impressed. We spent $47500 to have our windows and doors replaced throughout our home. After overcoming my initial sticker shock from Pella (and their competitors) we went with Pella because of their reputation for quality. Unfortunately, they simply have not lived up to that reputation.Our order was placed in October. Installation to occur in February (our choice), and it is now June and the job is still not complete due to replacement warranty work (not our choice). Several windows and the sliding glass door were damaged during the manufacturing process and had to be replaced under warranty.Had to have the installation team, who were subcontractors to Pella, out to touch up caulk, which Im still not thrilled with, and paint. The service team has been out twice now to replace and repair their work under warranty.Expect at least a month in between visits due to their schedule. The service team was an hour late arriving this morning.We have paid what we consider to be a princely sum of money, and for that price, I expected more from Pella. I have to trust that the windows will last for decades to come because I dont want to endure another experience like this again. Nice, hard working people, but they have missed the mark on value and schedule.
I have been considering changing my windows for some time now, but was worried about price and installation. I went to Pella’s Virginia Beach showroom where I worked with Chase. He had great understanding of the project. Chase then set me up for my free consultation appointment. I’m excited to partner with Pella for my Project.
Chase was great. I already knew the quality of Pella. I was just worried about price. Chase did a great job of offering several different products at different prices.
Chase came out and gave me a free estimate. He showed me all of the product, and we were able to find a price friendly solution. I would highly recommend Chase and Pella!
Very impressed with our experience with Pella, so far! Brett was incredibly easy to coordinate with for a consultation, and it was a pleasure to spend time with him! He was very patient, efficient, and helpful while talking my wife and I through options to replace several doors in our house, and we are really looking forward to continuing the process of working with him and the team at Pella! Thanks, Brett!*will update post installation - customer service here is top notch.
The price is great, quality seems great too (let’s compare that in 5 years). Absolutely sweet representative and the guy who was installing was awesome too. 3 stars because the contract says 4-6 weeks estimate and that it will take only 2 business days to install it between 7-5pm. It took 10, yes TEN weeks and pretty much we felt like we are some side part time job for them. Saying nothing bad about the guys, but if the company is understaff they should hire employees so the windows are not being installed for like 5 days and especially not on Sunday evening. Also for the amount you are spending, they should have some customer service representative i guess make a phone call check If everything is going smooth.
Our windows look amazing. From start to finish, Pella worked with us to give us the best look for our kitchen remodel. Shane was awesome and explained all the features of Pella windows. Once we selected the ones we wanted, the Pella team measured and installed our windows. They treated every step with great care to our property and we LOVE our new windows. Now that we see how great they look, we will put them in other rooms of our house. I cannot say enough good things about Pella and their product and staff.
Wanted to replace my Vinyl windows . I wanted to replace everything with the same style that I already had. Chase did a great job of explaining all of the different options. I had multiple groups come out and none of them beat Pellas product for the price.
Chris came out, and gave me an estimate to replace my windows. He did a great job of walking me through all of the product, and helping me find the best solution for my project.
Chase is a true professional. Gave us several options! We are so excited to partner with Pella!!
This is my second set of windows I have purchased from Pella. They are always professional and in this instance the installers were great. I am working from home and during installation they kept disruption to a minimum even putting up with my barking dog. Thanks to Billy, Mike and Chris for making the experience professional and very uneventful.I will definitely purchase Pella windows again. My neighbors have said they look great!
Brett came by to give me mom a quote and was extremely knowledgeable and gave her the perfect option for her house! Nice to know people still care about quality ! Highly recommend!!
One of the main reasons I chose Pella over the other two companies I received estimates, was due to the calm, no-pressure salesmanship of Chris Thomas. He is an outstanding salesman.
Shane was very professional and valued my time as well as his. I was unable to utilize Pella for my project due to the small size, but I know products sold through the line are top rated.
Thanks Chris for coming out. Great product, and even better company.
Brett Olson came out and showed me all of my options and was incredibly professional. Im super excited to see my windows!!
Very pleased with Pella! We replaced 18 windows in our 4 unit investment property built in the 1930’s. Chris was extremely knowledgeable and and very easy to work with. Our windows were installed in the quoted timeline and look great. We will be using Pella for all our future properties.
Chase came out, and gave me an estimate on my project. He had great knowledge of the product. The deciding factor for me was the installation process. Chase did a great job of explaining how the process will work.
Chase was very professional. He made sure to answer all of our questions and provide the necessary details allowing us to make an informed decision on our purchase of windows and doors.
Our experience with Pella was fantastic. Our salesman Cody was knowledgeable and explained our options. Robert came to verify our order and explain the installation process. Rick and his team arrived and proceeded to methodically take out the old and put in the new. They were quick and efficient and left our house spotless each day.We were most impressed with their professionalism and extremely happy with the Pella product. We highly recommend this company and staff.
Reached out to Pella for a free estimate. Cody Heitzer was very professional and knowledgeable. He answered all my questions and gave me two different quotes and explained all the options. Highly recommend!!
Visited the Pella Showroom in Virginia Beach, and I worked with Chase Thomas. He helped me build my dream door for my home, and can’t wait to proceed in the process. Pella is truly one of a kind - ask for Chase for top-tier service! He clearly understood my needs, and delivered beyond my expectations.
We just want to give a huge THANK YOU to Brett, who helped us place the order for our windows, and Robert, who came out to do the final measurements. They were both amazing and extremely knowledgeable. We will be replacing all of our windows and sliding glass door, and we cant wait for installation in August!
Chase was personable and professional. He answered all our questions, explained options, and worked with us to design the entryway. GREAT JOB!
Representative scheduled a call back for 830, they called back at 10. Very sad. When they called, the didnt answer my question about warranty. She sent me an email claim form, everytime i attempt to fill out and return it it says pictures are too big? I am sending from a cellphone, how big can a picture be??? Gosh, i just want warranty service on my storm door
Brett was extremely professional and responded to all of our needs immediately! I would never take my business elsewhere!
