      I have been waiting for ******** to schedule my roofing repair for over a month. I paid for the repair on July 1st 2025 and have not heard anything from ******** since the payment. I called today and they said they have the supplies but could not give me a date as to how long they have had the supplies and they claim they were paid on July 28th 2025 not July 1st despite my having a credit card statement showing payment on July 1st. I feel as though this company is trying to get away with not doing the repairs and taking my money. I want them to complete the job as they were paid over a month ago to do, and I would like them to compensate me back my money for this inconvenience because I have been waiting for this repair for several months and it took several months just to get them to call me back on a quote for the repairs and now I feel as though they are trying to take advantage of me

      The damage was caused by storm, or a tree and we are sorry the repair quote was paid and the service delayed.

      A message was left for a call back to schedule.

      You can reach our team member ********* via email.       *************************************************************

       

      We hope for a satisfactory conclusion for the service

      On May 9, 2024 I had submitted a Service Request to get our slider door screen fixed under our "Lifetime Warranty". With no response after several attempts to call the Omaha, ** location. My husband then submitted a second Service Request several months later (I don't have the exact date) with no response, he called and spoke to someone who stated it was our responsibility to get the screen to them to replace (that was not what they originally told us when they sold the windows to us). We had to submit another work order (one of many since they installed the windows in June of 2023) for yet another issue with wind/rain/snow ******* through the sliding glass doors and windows. They sent out a contractor for that and that contractor confirmed it was NOT our responsibility to take it to them it was theirs to come to us and they would call us to get that scheduled . But nothing came of that either. Fast forward to approximately 12 days ago, I commented on one of their ******** advertisements warning of the issues we've had of the company. On July 21st, 2025 a ******** message came through apologizing for the issues we are experiencing and provided an email address so they could escalate to management, so I sent that email...with no response. I tried to reach out again in Messenger and the are not accepting my message (could have blocked me). I tried to click on the "View Comment" and the post has been completely removed. We are still experiencing issues with inadequate window seals in the living room, and can actively hear wind ******* through. The window is not properly seated in our bedroom making it difficult to close the windows after being open, so we just don't open the window any more. From waiting many, many months to get them installed originally after signing the paperwork deal, to continuous issues with the windows/screens themselves, I would not recommend this company to anyone.

      1-800-hansons installed my new roof in June of 2010. I had the ******************* Saver which is a 30/30 Warranty on Labor/Material Guarantee, Money back Guarantee, free yearly inspections on request. I called on 7/29/2025 to request an inspection. She said she would send the request and the scheduling **** would call to set up an appointment. I received a call back today from **************** telling me that they are no longer servicing this area in ********, so my warranty is invalid, she also said they have many in this area that are now invalid. How can any company invalidate a warranty without notifying their customers, or offering a solution, such as subcontracting to another businesss. Why should we pay for their business decisions.

      Business Response

      Date: 07/30/2025

      We are sorry but Columbus Hansons was a "separate corporation and closed in 2014.

      The State of **** was notified, and the license was longer valid.

      The federal EIN was also canceled.

      Please refer to your contract terms and conditions as the verification that ************ was an independent operation is contained therein.

      We suggest if there is an issue refer to a local independent contractor.

      In March of 2024, we purchased services from ************** for siding. During that time, we were told and sold on the idea that the previous siding of the house would be replaced, as it would interfere with the new siding. We agreed to the services, and purchased it. In June, ******** then placed new siding on the house. However, after review we realized that the previous siding that we were told would be removed as part of the service contract, had in fact not been removed but had the new siding placed on top of it. In addition, the siding was not flush against the side of the house, providing possible weaknesses in coverage and allowing moisture to possible gather underneath and into the boarding.We raised these concerns within a week of the services rendered. At the time, we were told that it was not an issue, and that the service had been provided as specified. We continued calling, requesting a copy of the contract and supervisor review of the work. We were told several times, that the old siding had been replaced and put in the trash and they 'had photos' of which they never provided when asked. It was only after continuous complaints that they agreed to send a supervisor.We did not get an assessor/supervisor until nearly a month after the completion of the services. The supervisor in question, was dismissive of our concerns, and in fact, told us, that we agreed to not have underlying siding replaced, that it's removal was not part of the contract because it did not need to be removed. We were told, that it was siding that would serve as the 'base' of the new siding, and our concerns about possible weaknesses were dismissed. We have continuously attempted to receive a copy of the contract, but have now been basically blocked as a number. Any attempts by my mother, identifying herself, is met with silence as they refuse to ********** addendum, we have recently received a text message from the same company, offering their services.

      The superintendent met with you and explained flat board siding and the base did not need removing. Any concerns regarding weakening be assured the warranty is strong and active,

      I got brand new windows installed in 2015 from Hansons. Included in the contract states the replacement policy which outlines what to provide for the windows to be replaced. On July 17th I called the customer service line and spoke to a representative about getting one window screen replaced due to a squirrel eatting the screen. The lady I spoke to told me in order to avoid paying the $99.00 service fee I needed to upload detailed pictures of the damage and include the serial number, located on the inner ******************** seal. I did all that was required and a representative called me on last week, July 22nd stating that I had to drive the window to the factory in **** to get it replaced. When I told him it was written in the contract and the representative told me exactly what to do, he refused to send someone to repair the window screen. I asked for a manager and he told me there is no need to speak with a manager because they would tell him the same thing. I have gotten a window screen repaired before as part of the warranty and I expect the same service based on the contract I signed.

      the contract warranty regarding outside damage i abuse or act of God Squirrels} s not covered under the warranty. An exception was made and per the contract we will repair the screens at no cost "they must be brought to the closest Hansons location.

      I got gutters and siding from Hansons. Both less than satisfactory experiences. The gutters were not sealed correctly and someone had to come out and fix it. They did, but now after only about2 years, the black gutters are already scratched very badly. Ive reached out but no one has come to look at them. lifetime warranty ? *****. Anyway, I decided to give them another shot on siding. The guys were nice, but my yard was left a mess. The edging is black in some areas and matches the siding in others? There was one area that was just unfinished they fixed that, but there is still one area where the siding doesnt meet the roofline, and I just noticed that there is a s**** that came through my bathroom wall where tiled cracked and FELL OUT. I thought the vibrations may have caused it, but nope - a whole s**** The person trying to collect money from me has, rather than taking responsibility for the issues, consistently blamed my home. I dont know about you, but if Im paying someone thousands of dollars to do a job, I expect them to know how to do it? Why hire experts if I could do it myself and just blame my house for the incorrect measurements and holes in bathroom walls? Id honestly like a 50% refund, and my bathroom re-tiled, and the siding repaired so that the trims all match and are measured correctly. Also, come fix the gutters

      A message for a gutter service has been made on your behalf.

      The apparent roofline defect which is structural and not a part of the contract has no bearing on the installed material or installation.

      The project manager will contact you regarding the gutter.

      We signed the agreement to install windows for 11 openings. Then Hansons dos covered that 3 windows were missing. They wanted to add more numbers to the original quote and we did not agree and requested the cancellation. Despite our repeated requests by phone and email we have not received the confirmation of our cancellation.

      We purchased siding and a new roof through 1-800-HANSONS and were told it had a lifetime warranty. About a month and half ago, a piece of siding fell down and is hanging from the side of the house. I submitted the warranty claim per the company's request with pictures, etc. Had to wait 5 days for them to process that to the scheduling department. Then had to wait another 3 days to get someone to schedule a repair. They told me I would be called within 48 hours. No one called so I had to call them again. We've now had the repair date rescheduled 5 TIMES by Hansons. They usually call the night before and say that the repair crew needs to move the date. One of the times it was because a lift broke. The initial installer never used a lift but a ladder. This last time they called me while I was waiting between the 8am to 12pm window of the morning they were supposed to come, I had taken a vacation day to wait for them. No reason was given other than they needed to move it again. This is now the 5th appointment. I asked to speak to a supervisor and apparently they were all in the same meeting and she would issue a red ticket so one of them would call me back. No call back. I don't know what else to do, I don't think anyone is ever going to come out here and fix the broken piece of siding that is hanging from our house. If need be I will upload all the emails showing the number of appointments that have been scheduled. The number I entered below is supposed to be the job number.

      We had a window put in little over a year now, and it was put in wrong. Called them they sent out someone to look at it they used spray foam to temporarily fix the leaks. However they have canceled on us at least 7 times this past 7-8 months, one time we didnt even get a phone call or txt they couldnt make it. I called the financial company and they stopped payments however Im still getting interest. The old window was broken and leaked bad so we have mold in the wall. We just wanted the window fixed so we could take care of the mold. We cant fix the wall until we know the window is in correctly, otherwise we would have to spend more if it leaked again. My feelings on this is they scammed us and now want us to pay for a window they put in wrong and dont want to fix it.
