As many others have pointed out, most of the reviews here, on Guild Quality and Angie's List are fake - posted by "Internet Reputation Management" companies. Angie's List is worst, because they pay for high ratings there.

That being said, they use the most classic shady sales techniques you'll ever encounter. Any honest review lists the scheme exactly the same, and that is what I encountered.

1. Four hour onsite estimate where you are their best friend, and they "don't want to see you get ripped off like the other contractor did to you"
2. "Your roof will cave in any day now." You need to replace it now or you could die!
3. "I just called my manager, and he authorized me to give you a discount good today only since you seem hesitant."
4. "If you sign now, the price is lower. Why wouldn't you sign now? It needs to be done. There is nothing another contractor would say that would make you want to go with them! Don't you want to save money? What do you mean you want to think about it? Are you saying 100,000 other customers made a bad decision?" (this essentially means "buy now before you check the Internet to see what we just did)
5. Then, they don't leave unless you buy right away or tell them five times to leave.

Just really sad. Check the real reviews on other consumer review sites. Do a Web search for 'Power Home Remodeling high pressure sales scam' - prepare to be amazed.

Companies like this basically make all their sales off the elderly and overly trusting people that haven't been scammed before.

I encourage you to have them visit your home. It is worth the four hour pitch just to learn how professional sales slime carny their way into your bank account.
