  * Date of Transactions: 4/22/2021 * Purchase price paid: $14,943.00 * Installation of Front Door and Storm door 14 - 18 weeks (8/26/21 - 9/23/21). * Delivery and installation of the front door was completed on 9/17/21. On this date, Renewal by ******** had no idea where the storm door and said they would need to get back to us. There was absolutely no attempt to contact me on the missing door, I contacted RbA on 9/23 asking for an update. RbA had not ordered the door on 4/22 - though they did not let me know about this until I pushed for an update. When the door came in, installation was scheduled for 11/20/21. The installers stated that the incorrect door/parts were ordered and they were not able to install during that time. Again, no contact with RbA until I reached out on 11/28/21. The last contact I have had from RbA is November 2021 when the manager told me they were trying to figure out where the door was no because it was lost. I have not heard back from him, I have no idea what is going on, if the door was given to someone else or if they are ever going to contact me again. * The business is giving me no updates and I have no idea what they are doing to resolve the problem. * No Account or Order number, but date of contract is 4/22/2021 under ****** and ***********************.

  On February 2, 2021, we agreed to purchase 2 doors by Renewal by Andersen for $12,527. We had already purchased 1 door from this company and asked if the install was going to be the same and the salesman said yes. The contract said they will not be painting the trim. I cancelled the contract on 2/8. The salesman said they would paint the trim and I said if they would, then they could continue the install.From: W Date: 2/8/2021 To: *** Subject: Re: Agreement Confirmation for *********************************************************** Yes if all was prepainted like last time, we would be ok to proceed.From: *** Date: 2/8/2021 To: ******* Subject: Re: Agreement Confirmation for *********************************************************** If I can get the same guys to do it and them finish everything like last time would you still want to cancel? J On 3/22 they cancelled the install.On 4/7/21 They did install but there were many issues. Employees did not mask. Referred to us as guinea pigs because they have never done this before. Did not bring wood to do install properly. Did not install our screen door that was ordered. The front door lock was not installed because it did not fit. Installers scratched and damaged the doors. Since then door is hard to close and grooves are being worn in the door because of improper installation.****** the service manager came out and documented our concerns on the installation and took our money. Then I heard nothing from them anymore. Finally, *** contacted us. On June 10,2021, he left a voicemail saying he reorder them and he would be walking us through the process to get our issues resolved.On 9/25, they were to fix everything but did not show.On 9/27, *** said we could have our money back but we have still to have receive it and he is no longer answering my calls or emails.

  Renewal by Andersen was contracted to replace the windows in our home. The date was set for Dec. 27 & 28, 2021. On Thursday, Dec. 23rd I was sent a reminder the installers would be here between ****AM on the 27th & I had to prepare my windows for the work which I did the day before. At nearly 11AM, I contacted Andersen to see if there was an issue in the delay. I was informed the construction crew assigned was no longer doing installations as on a couple weeks before. Andersen failed to check for what schedules were involved and notify me. The best they are trying to do is Jan. 17 & 18 which is unacceptable to leave our house in disarray while we wait. The installation scheduler, whom Ive talked to numerous times since the 27th, assured my I would be contacted by someone in their administration department. It has been a week now and I have not been contacted. I expect their schedule be adjusted to make my installation a priority or compensation in some form for their error. I contacted the original salesperson who was also going the work the issue but I have yet to be notified.

  Better Business Bureau:
  
  I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined the response would not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below. 
  
  My original complaint included the extreme inconvenience we had to deal with because of the companys, RBA, failure to correct their scheduling issues. Also, the failure to do any follow-up after the installation was complete even though their literature proclaimed there would be immediate follow-up. I had to make contact with RBA to place a service call that should have been handled if follow-up by them would have occurred.

  or around October 30, we had installed provia entry doors in our home's front and rear entrances. However, we were supposed to have two screen doors installed that did not happen. The back screendoor was the only one installed; because the front screen door was improperly measured, in all directions, height, width, and whoever measured it failed to account for the fact that we have a slanted front porch roof, so whenever it opened, it scrapped the top of our porch.We have contacted RBA numerous times about resolving this situation as the screen door was fianced. We technically have paid for and are paying monthly payments for a product that has never been installed; yes, they did install the doors and a few windows that we financed, but this item was not. My husband and I have called multiple times to get the screen door issue addressed, and the damage to the wall; a service agent came out to fix another problem and ignored the wall. As well as these issues, the newly installed screen door in the back appears not to be adequately sealed as light is coming in, and our front door is tough to lock along with an air leak coming in around the locking latch.What do we desire ? at this point, I am not even sure I wish I had never wasted my time or money. I chose RBA because this was supposed to be a high-quality product with fantastic customer service that could increase our home value along with a supposedly great transferrable warranty, but where is the customer service? Why is it almost two months later and we have no front screen door? The doors leak, and was our wall never fixed? Why is the front door still damaged by the installation of the screen door as part of it was installed and just left? Rba needs to do several things to make this right, Either install our screen door or remove the cost from our account or make a possible adjustment by installing windows of equal value if this is an option. Or give an update as to when the door could be installed, if that is

  Early April, 2021, Renewal by ******** (Nashville) visited my home and provided an estimate on 26 replacement windows. At that time, i was not ready to commit to the purchase. In July 2021, I contacted the sales representative again trying to negotiate a price to close the deal with no luck. Again, in August, I contacted the sales representative with no success. Separate brought on another contact with the same sales representative with some movement toward closing the deal. Oct brought on more negations. October 14, I contacted the sales representative with another proposal. A price of $35,754. was provided on Oct 17. On Oct 18, I spoke with sales rep who said that was a good price and process will be increasing in early 2022. On Nov 9, I contacted the Same sale person to make another offer. On Nov 11, sales person was contacted about finalizing the deal with price of $35,754. At that time, I requested to speak with sales person manager. I emailed manager requested a call. He called back on Nov 16 and advised sales person was on vacation and would need to speak with sales person about finalizing. On Saturday Nov 28, sales rep called me and advised they had resigned from Renewal. Nov 29, I emailed manager to see if contact was made with sales person. Manager responded with email advising, sales rep had left company and could send someone else out but last price quote could not be guaranteed. 2nd email was sent to manager with window sizes from original visit. No response to either email. I left voice mail on Nov 30 and Dec 1 with Renewal manager requested call and no response. On Dec 1, I also called one of the many 800 #s for ******** and was advised some one would call with 24 hours. No response has been received.
