I called Hansons to get a price on some siding for my home. I made an appointment and was asked if I was the "only decision" maker in the home. After saying "yes", the guy repeated "Are you sure there is no one else that needs to be there?" I replied "uhhhh....NO!" So, guy, his name was Ed, came into my house. He to asks me if I am the only decision maker! Yes, I am a woman perfectly able to make a decision about siding..geez! I told him I wasn't looking for expensive just something to make the house look more sellable as I am getting married and selling this house. He says "Boy, I really wish you weren't getting married..no offense but that puts a damper on things" huh??? He measured my home and told me the exterior was about 2500 sq feet (which it isn't). I ask him for a quote on the econoline and he tells me "no..you don't want that, its junk". So, I asked "why do you sell it then?" No answer. Then we gives me this "certificate" and tells me to write down my guess on how much my quote would be. If I can guess within $400 of the quote...I would get an additional $400 off...wow..great guy? yeah...so he tells me (cuz now he's my buddy) about what the cost will be but for me not to tell anyone he told me. So, I write it down and I get $400 off--wow...he's my friend now, right? Next, he gives me a price for $21,000.00 for a 1,050 square foot house! I almost burst out laughing!!! So, my new friend goes outside to ask his boss to drop the price and comes back in to inform me of a "special price" for me of $17,000.00---I am still laughing. Now, my new found buddy is gonna give me a deal of the century!!!! He's going to go outside and call his boss AGAIN and ask his boss if Hanson's can withdraw money from THEIR OWN ADVERTISING FUND and pay for some of my siding! Guess what folks??? His boss said YES and they dropped the price down to $13,000.00 and he still can't figure out why I won't write him a check today!!!! I was totally offended

Yes, I too should have READ THE REVIEWS.. But I was only getting estimates. When I made the appt. I made it perfectly clear that my spouse may or may not be present, If they didn't want to come out fine I have other estimates lined up. Well the guy came and my husband was there. 1. They do not manufacture their own windows as claimed. 2. they are NOT rated number 8 or 9 in the replacement window website as shown in their propaganda(go to it). If you go to the NFRC website they are listed as a member but not a manufacture anywhere. On their site they do not mention that they manufacture their own windows, but nor do they tell you who does. to end the drama my spouse had to leave after sitting through the first 45 min of the appt to pick up one of the kids. The salesman finished, then said well it?s a shame your husband couldn?t stay I'm not supposed to give an estimate without both here... I informed him what my guidelines were when the appt was made. He made a call to his boss packed up his stuff and left. Big waste of 1+15 out of my Saturday. This I guess is a big example of the "High" pressure sales. Where they think you will sign on the dotted line in one day. Run away from them!! They seem to have lost of stores but like the woman above I am capable of doing research and forming my own decision. My spouse really would care what was picked as long as I was informed.

I wish I had seen this site before I signed my happiness death-warrant! I can pretty much re-itterate the comments listed before me, but I can take it to another level. I am a single woman who purchased my house and continues to pay for it on my own and was CONSTANTLY referred to as MRS and asked about the husband. In this day and age, it is incredibly offensive to not only assume a woman to be married, but also to a man! What if I, instead, had a "partner"? Anyhow, the salesman I had wasn't too bad and I forced along the "dog and pony show" because I just wanted the bottom line. The day of installation. that took THREE MONTHS to line up, I already had a defective window. I was told that it would take AT THE MOST 3 weeks to replace. It has now been a month. Also, the windows have some sort of residue on them that Hanson's own workers can't figure out. I now have streak or scratched windows that may need to be replaced. Oh, and to add insult to injury, when they sent out a representative from the manufacturer, he stood on my hose-stand and broke it off my brick house! Yes, that's right, a hose-holder that was DRILLED into brick and mortar. I have retained a lawyer and am now going to enjoy watching Brian Elias squirm since through the entire process he has REFUSED to answer any of calls or e-mails. Please, use Wallside, Majic, buy them from Home Depot and pay a homeless person to install them. ANY options will have you better set than "1-800-HANSONS"....they sure won't "...get it done..."
