Power Home Remodeling Windows vs Andersen
Company: PowerHRG is a remodeling company that has branches throughout much of the northeast and into the southern states. Renewal is a franchised company that is owned by the Andersen Corporation.
Wow! This is great info. I am teetering on moving forward or quitting. I have talked to 3 companies and it seems impossible to get the facts for an honest comparison. Seems like confusion is the #1 goal no matter what they say.
Paula, yes this is a pain in th @ss of a process - I know that and it's the reason I try and help people do it once and do it right. Collect all of your bids and send them over to me -- I'll give a fair assessment of what you have -- I have no allegiance to any company or brand.
It was a very strange experience. Worse, after 5 hours of discussion (still not sure if it was me), I signed but cancelled within 2 hrs. Boy were they mad! They returned without calling first as they said they would to pick up/complete cancellation document. (Not that I need them to as I'd already received an email reply with acceptance of cancellation.)
Hi Dane, was curious on your thoughts on a few quotes. 10 windows total. Power Remodel was 25k. Renewal by Anderson was 33.7k, and a local Marvin dealer was about 30.5k. I have a bid from an independent contractor my parents used for some work on their home and the Pella Impervia windows cost was 26k. 2 of the windows are 106 wide by 60 tall. Window Prices By Size
Alex, it looks like those price quotes are all in the basic realm of one another...Power Remodeling sells Northeast Building Products windows, which I'm not all the keen on. Renewal is usually pretty over priced but they do sell a nice looking fibrex series. Still, that's a hefty price tag. Marvin Infinity windows are very solid, so this would probably by my pick of what you have so far. I'm not a big fan of the Pella Impervia, I think there are much better fiberglass windows out there -- the Infinity for one.
Powerhrg sells a "Crusader" window, made by North East Building Products. It's really more builder's grade quality, although it does have a few upgrades. It uses a sashlite glazing, some sort of coating they call Sunclean, and tempered glass. I think it just looks awful, the vinyl extrusion is so white it's almost blue and the locks are heavy and bulky. The welds are just average, but the weather stripping is inadequate.

Marketing: Both of these companies sell direct to consumers, meaning they do not use local window dealers to sell their products. Instead, they advertise directly to consumers using T.V., internet, and other marketing mechanisms. PowerHRG is structured more as a home remodeler though, while Renewal By Andersen is straight replacement windows.
What They Sell: Power HRG sells a Northeast Building Products vinyl window. Renewal sells a composite fibrex series.
Reviews: A bit mixed for both. Some consumers have complained that PowerHRG gives an initial high bid and then offers demo discounts and/or their model home program as a way to sweeten the deal. Renewal does much the same, except they don't have a "model home" program, but they do start out quite high and end with a much lower cost per window.
Cost: PowerHRG cost range is something like $700 to $1000 fully installed for a normal sized double hung. Renewal By Andersen costs are more like $1500 to $2500 fully installed for a normal sized double hung.

Power By Pella Symphony Windows
I will see if I can hang in there just to get a fair price on a good/great window. Not sure that's ever gonna happen.
Thanks again for your help. I'll check out this list.
One more question/opinion: What's your take on Pella Symphony windows sold by Power HRG?

I haven't heard of Pella Symphony -- it's a relabeled "something" of theirs -- is it vinyl or fiberglass? Vinyl vs Fiberglass Windows

They proceeded to remove all traces of visit except for 'estimate' that lacks all details. Left me very confused as to quality of window, company,, etc.— not that it matters now as I could never hire them.

I believe it is their 250 series...I'll have to investigate further! Yes, that seems pretty heavy handed of them (and not very kind). I would certainly throw them off the list :)

Doing sliders those with the big picture in the middle. 3 are 2 double hung 72 wide by 60 tall. 3 are single double hung 36 wide by 60 tall, a tempered 36 wide by 47 bathroom window, and then a 106 wide by 35 tall picture window. I'm in ball ground GA 30107. Thank you for your time and help.

Powerhrg Windows Reviews On The Crusader
The sales pitch makes it sound like some super premium window, and they give it a price somewhere in the $1200 - $1500 range. But then they have all of these demo discounts and model home programs, and it ends up around $850, which is still high for the quality but more reasonable. The sales rep actually said that they wouldn't cost anything at all after you factor in the Federal tax rebate, their own rebate, and the "increased home values" and "40% energy savings" which is just a joke. I'd steer clear.
