We have 30+ Pella Series 250 windows installed accross 3 phases in our home, including one custom french patio door. Like all vendors and installers, there were issues, but we are done with Pella based on their latest position on interpretation of their warranty. Our last phase included two plate glass windows that had to be custom ordered and it took 5 months to deliver. Our order was in August 2022, but installation was not until January 2023. We now have a leak, 20 months since our installation, but they are insisting that the labor to inspect and repair are outside their 24 month warranty from their "Sale Date". Please note that when dealing with Pella, you receive a "Contract- Detailed" with a "Quoted Date", but no where on this document is a "Sale Date". SO BEWARE OF PELLA WARRANTIES!!!Review from Dave G

Overall our experience was beyond poor. As I write this review it is December 20, 2023 and we ordered our windows in March of this year.Initially the process was smooth. However, when it came time for the first installation, technically the second as the first was canceled due to weather at no fault of Pella, 10 of the 13 ordered windows were measured incorrectly and therefore could not be installed.Therefore, new measurements were taken at this installation and a rescheduled date was scheduled. In the meantime, we had 10 ill-fitting windows taking up an entire car space in our garage for nearly two months.During I was constantly in contact with a representative at the office, ****, in an attempt to find out what could be done to make this situation right. However, for nearly six weeks of calls and being told repeatedly that he could not make any decisions and his manager ****** was who we needed to speak to but had been evidently too busy to even call back over the last six weeks, we were told we need to wait for the remaining windows to be installed prior to any discussion being done about compensation.When the properly measured windows were finally ready, an install date of August 29, 2023 was scheduled. At that time, all windows were installed but one had a crack in it, a screen was improperly measured, and a cover for the window to slide on was too small.Again, as of today while writing this review on December 20, 2023, those issues have not been addressed despite it being 20 degrees outside and having a window with a large crack.A representative came out to fix the above issues however the replacement window also was broken and the screen was measured incorrectly. Therefore, another reschedule in February to allow time for the replacement parts.Throughout this process, my husband and I have missed now 6 days of work and are pending a seventh, have had to repeatedly deal with severely subpar customer service and have received a faulty product.Review from Diana A

DO NOT EVER GET PELLA WINDOWS AND DOORS IF YOU WANT TO KEEP YOUR SANITY! Their customer service is TERRIBLE, once you sign that ******* contract they forget about you and they gaslight you. I wont ever forget how TRAUMATIC of an experience they made me go through, all the calls and rescheduling that they forgot. I wouldnt wish it to my worst enemyPella Windows & Doors, Inc Response

We have researched this issue and confirmed this is not a customer from our ************ (*******) sales office. This complaint is from area code ***** (Jefferson County, **). Our ******* sales branch was not involved in this transaction. This issue will need to be resolved with the office where the order was originally purchased.Pella Windows and Doors (PWD LLC) ************, ** *****Review from Bri D

I own a window and door replacement company and Pella has always been my go to. Last summer they decided to s**** every vendor except the local Pella franchise and quoted 24 weeks for standard windows and 32 for a 1/2 round. My customer agreed. Then the *** wad pushed out to 37 weeks for all of it! At the same time they said they said they fixed ***s. We ordered for my parents house we are building and lead time was 3-5 weeks (standard sizes, will be in sooner than the ones ordered last June).The night before our windows were due in (yesterday) they pushed out to Feb 1st. Tonight they updated to "pending," so they're pushing it out again?Surely lying about lead times to get sales is illegal. There's no way you could estimate so badly all the time. And waiting until last minute is unacceptable. My guess is they're promoting their monopoly at the local franchise but after backpedaling from s******* every other vendor they're still inconveniencing those companies. I'm not going to the local office, I'll just find a different brand for future jobs-and sell reliability and honesty from the beginning as my justification for higher prices. Meanwhile, you've stolen precious, mild weather when we could be installing windows and siding. Shame on you!Pella Windows & Doors, Inc Response

My name is ************************* and i placed my widows order in the amount of $37,361 thru Charter Lumber in April 29 2022. When i first got my quote for the windows i was told they will be ready in 24 weeks. After i payed the windows i was told they will be ready December 12, that is more than a month later than the original quote. Two weeks later i got another email stating that my windows will be pushed again until December 22nd.Today is the 21st of December and i got another email that my windows are pushed again until January 18. Im already scheduled to brick the house January 2nd. Charter Lumber and Pella Windows are not to be trusted.Pella Windows & Doors, Inc Response

I have Pella Windows on my house. I noticed some rotting on one of the windows. When I had someone come take a look, he indicated that I had rotting on almost every wood window I had and that they would need replacement. The aluminum casement over the wood failed at the corners and that allowed water to get in and that water was trapped. Given that this appears to have happened on nearly every window I have, it appears to be a defect in the product. I contacted the company and they will not stand behind their product. Online, I found a class action lawsuit for one of their windows where wood rotted in the windows too. I would avoid this company.Review from John P

My last 13 posted reviews on ****** were 5 stars for other companies and services. This 1 star review breaks that streak. This review regards the Pella **********, ** location. My advice is BUYER BEWARE, pay close attention to the many 1 star reviews on the ****** site and on this BBB site too. Complaints pretty much have the same ongoing theme, a problem arises and it becomes difficult to impossible to reach the local ************ calls go unreturned, voice mails not responded to, and text messages go unanswered. The Pella *********** is much much more cooperative but when a problem arises, Pella Corp responded to me that the ********** location is independent and Pella Corp has no control over what the independent location does. In my case, we had a diagnostic visit in November 2021, we were charged a $150 fee for some Pella patio doors and windows. The rep diagnosed nothing and I told him that I would like some touch up paint and a couple of screen clips. He assured me no problem for these minor items and said that they probably had them at the distribution center and would bring them out to me. Weeks passed, no response, so I called the rep and was told to the effect my bad Ill follow up and get back to you. Weeks passed, called again same response then didnt respond to 4 more calls voice mails and texts and these are minor items. I requested a refund of my $150 for this lousy job where no benefit was received from this visit only frustration. I finally got these simple items from corporate. The ********** office refuses to refund the $150 and actually tried to defend the reps actions saying no one had ever complained before. Well, I have now! The corporate office is very apologetic and empathetic but said they had no influence with the Birmingham independent location. Lots of nice slogans from Pella like continually strive to provide superior customer service, etc. Dont believe these slogans which are just words. Review the other 1 star ratings on ****** and this BBB site. BUYER BEWARE!Pella Windows & Doors, Inc Response

We have researched this issue and confirmed this is not a customer from our ************ (*******) sales office. This review was submitted for the incorrect Pella location. As stated in the complaint, the windows were purchased in **********, ** not through our Pella (*******) sales branch. This issue will need to be resolved with the **********, ** office where these windows were purchased from.************************* Manager Pella Windows and Doors (PWD LLC) **********************
