I've had several homes prior to this one and the one before it I completely gutted and remodeled it. I KNOW how much things should cost. I also know when I'm being sold BS. I downsized and I was looking to insulate an attic in a small rancher that measures 1200 sq ft. There was some insulation up there but some areas didn't have any at all. I was getting quotes from various companies and came across Power Home Remodeling on Anjie's list. They had gotten very good reviews. I should have paid more attention to the negative reviews because I experienced pretty much everything on that list. When I called, the gentleman on the phone kept insisting that my husband must be present. My husband has Alzheimer's and doesn't know what day of the week it is. Which I explained to him. He then wanted to email me their website and kept informing me about what an excellent company they were. I just want an estimate. I scheduled an appt for 10 am and was called the night before. He again insisted my husband be present for the sales pitch. Again I told them he has Alzheimer's and he wasn't going to be making any decisions whatsoever. Then he had the nerve to ask me if I "have power of attorney." Excuse me. I OWN the house. I've been having work done on this house steadily since we moved in in November. Never has anyone questioned me like this. Then after confirming with him that I would be home the next morning he told me someone would call again at 8am to confirm again. I just confirmed. Why are you waking me up? Sure enough, at 8am they called to confirm again. And asked that both parties be present. The salesman showed up. He was a nice enough guy. But I hate it when they try to sell you the company and not the service you want. All I want is the bottom line. Cut to the chase, give me a written estimate and leave. I watched videos and looked at newspaper articles about how wonderful the company is. Then I got the price. Now mind you, the first estimate I got was from a local business that has been in business since 1971 with an A plus rating with BBB. He is licensed, insured and has workmen's comp. He quoted me $1999.00 to install pro vents (which there were none) and to bring the insulation up to R-49. He said he'd also throw in an insulated cover for the attic opening. He'd also do some foam sealing. The second estimate was for $1950 with the same services. This salesman pretty much put aside any real estimate for just the blown in insulation and kept trying to sell me on putting a sheeting material up all over the attic making it a metal box, saying they would insulate every opening with foam and put insulation in the electric outlets. However I explained I had spent much more on this house that I had initially figured on and I just wanted some insulation so all the heat didn't go out the roof. So their price for just blown in insulation was $6600 and for the sheeting etc was $19,800. Not gonna happen in this lifetime. Then he asked me how much I thought it should be. Just give me an estimate. Then he brought the price down to $15,171. Then he brought it down to 11,921. Then $10,800 with the understanding that he was seriously "under estimating" the job and when the other guy got there they would probably raise the price. Oh, and the price was only good if I signed today. Then he said he shouldn't but he'd hold that quote till Monday. Ok. But it's still gonna be "No". Then he wanted to know if I wanted anything else done. Windows? Roof? How about a new front door? I'm not going to use them. And I have always received a written estimate whenever someone has come to give me one. He just wrote some figures on the back on a piece of paper and that was it. I would stay far away from this company. Oh, and I just texted the salesman to tell him I wasn't interested and he asked me to SHRED THE ESTIMATE because they aren't supposed to leave them on the "first pricing". Exactly how many prices do they need to do. Check out yelp reviews. They are at least 3X higher than anyone else.
