Ordered new windows and they installed the wrong one even though I told them it was wrong and they said they would come back and put the right one in, now they refuse to put the right window in. The other window has poor craftsmanship, and they refuse to fix the problem with either.

I hired 1-800 Hansons for a new roof and 3 new windows back on 1/29/22. The windows were set to be installed 5/13/22, but we're pushed back numerous times (delays on Hansons) and the first attempt to install was 10/24/2022. The subcontractor they sent out (Rosewall Windows) did a terrible job which required several attempts thereafter to remedy. After a handful a service requests to shim and adjust the windows to where I could operate them and a demand letter from my attorney they finally completed the initial window installation a year later! Fast forward to the spring of 2025. 2 of the 3 windows are back the not working correctly and the south wall window won't even open. I called Hansons 3 times and finally got **** from their ****** office to come inspect the windows. He confirmed the company they "used to use" was Rosewall Windows and they did a terrible installation here and he would have all 3 windows.l removes and new windows installed. That was on 4/1/25. I have since called a dozen times, escalated the matter 5 times, even had the *** conference **** in after I started getting conflicting status updates. **** had told me the windows were getting replaced entirely. The service **** would later tell me the windows were still being made and then a month later they say they don't even see an order for new windows. It's a runaround every time I seek answers and for $20,000 I expected a h*** of a lot more quality and communication! The only time Hansons jumps up to complete a task after they already have been paid is when they are forced to by an attorney demand in fear they will be sued for services.not rendered or a class action suit which they have many against them. I paid 4 times the normal cost for 3 windows under the sales pitch that they would provide an amazing product and service! Unfortunately this was a scam job by the local office to charge a premium then hire thr cheapest contractor possible then ghost their clients after!

I called Hansons because I needed a new slider door installed. The salesman came out and we discussed what door I wanted and I told the salesman there was damage and rot around the door that needed to be fixed and he explained to me they have a team to fix it and it would be addressed. I gave a deposit of $2,250.00 to get things started. They completed the door and set up an appointment to install it. They arrived and informed me they would not be able to install it. They would have to get another team out there to do it. Another team came about two weeks later and they said they could not install it because of the damage and they would have to send another team out to install it. About two weeks later another team came out and they said they couldnt install it and they contacted Hansons and told them they couldnt install the doo. The last team that came out said they were not qualified to install the door as the other teams also said they were not qualified to fix the damage either. So I called Hansons 8-22-25 to get a refund and they said they could not install the door. They didnt have anyone qualified to install the door I would like a full refund. They didnt install the door so I would like a full refund

I contracted with 1-800-HANSONS for repair work at my property, and my experience has been extremely disappointing. The work was not completed professionally, several contracted tasks were never finished, and the quality of the work that was performed was substandard. I raised these concerns with Hansons through their representatives, including ****** ****** and ***** ******. A second crew was sent to address the problems, but not only were the original issues left unresolved, additional problems were created.Despite repeated attempts to communicate, Hansons has not provided a fair or complete resolution. My last written communication to Hansons (including ***** **** and ***** ******) made it clear that the work was unfinished, that I disputed the charges, and that my understanding with their representatives was that all additional charges would be waived. Hansons never followed up with documentation to the contrary.Instead of resolving the matter, Hansons began sending aggressive final demand letters threatening liens and legal action for over $10,000 in charges on work that remains incomplete and defective. They are now pursuing collections and court action against me despite never completing the job as agreed.This experience has been stressful, time-consuming, and costly. I would strongly caution anyone considering Hansons to carefully review their contract and to be prepared for significant challenges in getting promised work completed. Based on my experience, Hansons has not honored their commitments, has failed to provide professional workmanship, and has resorted to aggressive collection tactics instead of resolving legitimate customer concerns.

I'm sorry that there is a conflict but substantial completion as per the contract has been done and payment was due this is in litigation for non Payment. I'll public comments in regards to this are considered evidence and will be forwarded for review to our attorneys.

[A default letter is provided here which indicates your rejection of the business's response.
Better Business Bureau:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of why I am rejecting this response appear below:
I respectfully disagree with Hansons characterization of this situation.
The work performed at my property was not substantially complete, nor was it performed to professional standards. Multiple contracted items were left unfinished or improperly installed. The first crew entered the property on the wrong day without notice, causing distress to my tenants, and then the rescheduled crew were observed smoking marijuana on my property. A 3rd crew was later dispatched, but the workmanship remained defective and new issues were created.
I raised these concerns directly with Hansons representatives and my understanding from conversations with Hansons personnel was that we would part ways with no balance due, given the circumstances.
For Hansons to now claim substantial completion and pursue payment on work that is incomplete and damaging to my property is misleading. My public comments are truthful and supported by documentation, photographs, and witnesses. I will continue to defend my position through the proper legal channels.
My experience reflects a serious lack of accountability and customer care, and I stand by my original complaint.
Business Response

Issues have been addressed, and the fact of an unpaid balance is in legal status. No warranty exists, and no adjustment or compensation is due.

I had ordered windows from 1-800-Hansons. The installers told me that they could not install the windows because they were too big. My complaints about Hansons - first they never contacted me. I had to always call them. Second nothing was discussed with me about the windows. If they are truly too big, what guarantees do I get if there is any damage done to the structure of my house in time. How will I know if these are installed correctly. I have lost all faith in this company and fell I should be able to get out of this contract with owing them nothing. I reached out to the customers service manager who left me a message, I called her back and she never returned the call. I called my salesperson who was surprised to hear than I had concerns about the incorrect size of the windows and that I was have issues with ****** and the installers. He has never called me back after that. I talked to the operation manager, ****, who tried to help but when the installers never showed and I called to see if I could cancel my order he did nothing to keep my business and passed me to cancelation ****** and washed his hands of me. This is only a small part of how I was treated. There is so much more. I have lost all faith and respect for this company and feel I should not be responsible for the cancelation penalty. They can donate these windows to Habitat and write the cost off.
Business Response
Date: 09/10/2025
the affirmed contract and reduction in cost 08/07/12025 reaffirmed the contracture obligations to allow install of the windows.
We realize an error in measure occurred, but that has been rectified and the Hansons is prepared to install and have been refused.
We can assure that the product and installation will be of the highest quality "under a lifetime warranty"
The contract calls for payent upon substancial completion as such no paytment would be due until that time .
WE HOPE YOU WILL RECONSIDER AND PLEASE CONTACT OUR VP CR ****** ******--- ********************************** Ph ************
we look forqward to a mutually aggreed resolution .

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
Business Response

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

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.
