I called Pella to get a replacement slim shade and she said they don't make these anymore. We bought these in 1988 I asked if they could sell me the ladder cord and I would restring myself. She said they don't have the ladder string. The only thing I can do is replace...

This has been the worst experience of my life. I have built a lot of custom homes and I usually go with Anderson, but after Covid, window lead times are insane. Pella guaranteed me (5 times total including right before I placed my order) that my specific order would be...

Can not speak to a person about repairing locks on my French doors

Locks on Pella exterior French doors do not work. Up until a few days ago one door lock worked, then suddenly neither lock worked. Locksmith recommended calling Pella directly. No humans available! This is a huge problem since I cant lock the door to my house!

User's recommendation: Don’t buy pella.

Pella - Estimated delivery 4 mths after quoting 6 wks! So far…
If theyre not able to meet their quoted delivery date, for whatever reason, they need stop all sales until current customer orders are full-filled.

User's recommendation: Get them to offer you a discount percentage, per week, for every week after quoted delivery date.

Representative ordered wrong window casing size

Pella - Representative ordered wrong window casing size
It was the sales representative for Pella windows. We purchased windows years ago. The representative came out measured all the windows and ordered all the windows for new construction, so there is a gap from the window to the wall edge because the original structures wood measure 2x4, not 1 1/2" by 3 1/2". He left the company after our order. We cannot come up with a fix for this order error to complete windows. Also, the silver tabs to tilt the windows inward also breaks. So, no we are not happy.

Bad windows

Bought 8 windows Pella windows from local Lowes...(was planning of buying 8 more for Florida room)...didn't notice till they were installed that one was a different size... I let it ride..to much trouble and expense to replace... More than 1/2 of them leak around the felt or whatever it is between the window.. Several had the lock screws missing and I can not lock several.. You can feel the cold air coming in.. Very disappointed in this product.. Never buy from them again...

User's recommendation: Don't buy...try Andersons or check others before buying..

Rotted Windows

1.0
I noticed rotting on one of my Pella architect series windows. I had someone come to look at that window and he found that nearly every Pella window in my house had a small crack at the corner of the aluminum cladding that allowed moisture to get in and rot the bottom board. Because this happened to nearly all the windows, it appears to be a defect in the windows. I contacted the company and they will not stand behind their product. I would avoid this company.A

User's recommendation: Avoid this company.

I have had the worst customer service experience with Pelli as well. Our new window is leaking bad when it rains.

Window was installed I’m May 2021. Had a bad leak in January, water leaked from top of window and caused pooling in window track. Water proceeded to leak down all over carpet. Called Service department and they sent a Rep on 2/9 to inspect.

He said it was an installation issue and will have them contact me. It is now March and no one from Installation has contacted me. I have called and emailed Pella Service team several times but no one has called me back. After calling for 2 hours today with zero apologies or care; I spoke to Corporate.

Another waste of time.

Catherine transferred me to a service rep who again, said she will have someone contact me. The worst customer experience.

Inflated estimate for Pella replacements

1.8
Had Ronnie give me an estimate for 25 new replacement windows in El Paso. Gave me an estimate of $59000 for your Lifestyle series. Had Lowes give me a second estimate for the identical series and number of windows which came to $30000. Double the price for the same windows. The store seldom answers the phone and I had to go to their store to get Ronnie to come out to my house. Poor management, poor customer relationship, and what I see is is a company that is trying to scam its customers. Take it for what it is but you need to have corporate look at this store

Paint touchup on Pella entry door - Hurricane Ida

I have a Pella entry door. Order # 744LC6KX0. Prefinished is dark mahogany. Hurricane Ida was in my area, it was a direct path that happened on August 29, 2021. I just need a small bottle of paint touch up in dark mahogany for my entry door to cover the scratches caused by flying hurricane debris. Please shipped the bottle to me at 176 Longview Drive, Destrehan, LA 70047. I hope this is possible. Please let me know. Thank you. Cheryl M Mills

Pella widows are made of wood and they will eventually start leaking. They will rot from the inside out and by the time you notice your warranty will be expired. All of the window hard ware will come loose and you will not be able to open up the window. Then they will eventually start to leak so bad because all of the wood is rotting away that you will be spending a lot of money on silicone to seal all of the window leaks ! One of my windows that broke was less then 5 years old and they said it was "Vintage".

User's recommendation: Do not buy Pella windows they have a horrible warranty and customer service despite what they say they like to brag about how grate they are. Total B. S. Their windows are garbage !
