Beware!!

Alert, don’t use this company

BEWARE, this company is a scam and should be shut down, The president should be jailed for fraud. Please don’t even let them in your door, I found out the hard way

The good reviews are all written by people working for the company, they are so full of crap its not funny.
The products are way overpriced and the salesman will make thousands in commission from you.

The estimate you will get is 5 times more than it should be, and they make the price only good for that day. The one year estimate is 4 times higher than the one day price. What a racket they have going. Also, they pay for the better business reviews, don’t believe them.

I worked for them as a project manager and they do that to installers. They wont pay you if they dont plan on keeping you around. Thats a new area for them so they may not be fully up and running. Call there home office in Pa and talk to someone. The only way I know that some of the installers got paid was to bug the crap out of them and threaten a law suit. Good luck with that company. You will need it.

I am curious if anyone in Georgia has any experience with Powers Windows. My husband was hired in November to start working for them. After all of the hoops that he had to jump through, paperwork that had to be filled out, and weeks of waiting, the week that he was supposed to start working he was unable to get a hold of anyone. He did a couple of “trial jobs” for them to prove his ability, and has not received any of the money he was supposed to be paid. I am curious if there is anyone else out there who has had the same experience or who knows just what is going on with them.

We bought their windows. I am upset because all the window are drafty after having them about three years. Maybe the low e or whatever they are is leaking??? We did have a savings on electric bill after install but now back to pre-install electric bill. Not happy!!!!

I am very dissatisfied with my windows.They sent 3 or 4 men to install. A couple of the windows are ok,however some look like they were not profesionaly done.They used vynal siding to frame the inside of our windows ,never seen that done before.They did not screw the strips on they glued them as a result there is glue everywhere on the windows.One of the windows the strip is already coming un glued.One of the windows when it is locked you can still move the window from side to side.They did not cut the vynal to match very uneven and has gaps.They were supposed to be custom fit,but they used lots of caulking to make them fit.I am getting ready to call them back,because the strip in one room is coming unglued.Dissapointed would not recommend

i feel bad for post#13 Martha May. i recently got a similar estimate for 25 windows in my home from that same company, salesman started with the $25,000 price and went down to $14,000 in about 2 minutes of me saying ” no thats too much”. i offered him $7,000 cash to do the job and he turned down my offer. lol. I was very impressed with the window presentation, the heat lamp and the 100 btu reader was cool. The windows are a good product and made in the USA so you really cant knock the product. I feel that if you can do the job for $14,000 or $15,000 and still make money then help out the people and just give them a good deal from the start. Its sick how they blow all that money on vacations and cruises for their employees like the other post stated… i would rather see ms martha rent a ferrari for 1 week with her girlfriend and have a fun time blowing that money than know some fat sales people are on a cruise drinking martinis and telling scam artist stories. GRRRRR

About 4 years ago we had the whole house installed with these windows and 2 years ago condensation started to occur on some of the windows. The sweat/water started to drip down the lower window tremendously. We were told that they wouldn’t do this and that was one of the reasons we decided to go with them. Some days it’s so bad that we can’t see out of the windows. I’ve been trying to get someone out to look at these because they are still under warranty but nothing. what can I do? We are concerned with the Winter fast approaching and the windows not being effecient.

I work for a home remodeling company very similar to PWS. They do Offer good quality windows no doubt. So does Anderson, but does it justify paying $800-$1,000 per window?

No, both companies charge a hefty price for the service and quality. Not to say you aren’t getting what you paid for but you “may” be able to find a better deal somewhere else. This all comes down to getting estimates.

I can tell you it will be VERY hard to find a company that will give you the best product for the best price, mainly because not everyone operates with honesty and integrity.

At the company I work for Precision Exteriors we tell the truth and present things honestly. We can offer the same EXACT quality as PWS since we also buy from the same Manufacture.

Our MOST expensive Triple Pane Low-Argon, Krypton ,Window is only $600. Lifetime warranty. Installed.

I’ll provide anyone an estimate via email or phone.
