"About a month ago, a young man from Power Home Remodeling - The Quality Assurance Manager, Alex P. came to my home to inspect the work one of his crews did on my home...they replaced all the gutters and trim...$9,000 worth of gutters/trim....He needed to get up into my attic space b/c I was told the only way to 'certify' the warranty was to see the work (soffits) from inside as well...he would not take NO for an answer....tells me again about certifying the warranty so finally, I let him up there...lo and behold he says he finds water damage...I look at what he sees and I can't say yes or no that it is exactly what he is telling me... He is very aggressive during his 'pitch' for a new roof...he says that as 'management' he can bundle the gutters and roof together...he writes all of this down on a piece of paper (which I am in possession of)...says he can do both jobs for $24,900...roof and gutters... He shows me the figures...I see it on paper...how much it would cost and its monthly payment...I speak with my wife and we decide to put $10k down...he says to me that $10k will come off the $24,900 once the financing is set...he writes all of this down right in front of me...tells me the $10k will come off the loan as a down payment ... THIS WAS A BOLD FACED LIE... At no time did he EVER say the cost of this project would be $34,000+...my paper work that he showed me, DID NOT have that figure on it...if it did...I would have said NO...he told me the entire project would be $24,900...not $34,900... Had I not looked at the financing paper when it came in, I would have never known I was deceived...at no time was the cost of both projects more than $24,900...I call the company to complain...I tell them what I have in front of me...the figures that were agreed upon by my wife and I and their man Alex P...all they can say is...you signed the agreement!!! Over and over this is what I am told...I ask for Alex P to call me and to this date (6/12/25) I have yet to hear from the guy. Why is that? He's the Quality Assurance Manager...the guy who told me b/c he is management, he can give me a better price...this companies practices are deceptive. Yup I signed the agreement but was told something totally different! I am happy with the product and work but come on...everything you read for reviews on this company is 100% accurate...from how they ended up at my home (doing work in the neighborhood...sure they were!) I just threw away $10k because of this companies deceptive practices!!!! And again, why hasn't Alex P called me back? B/c they got what they wanted and know they are wrong! I have received responses from the company and both responses DO NOT address the deceptive practices of their QA manager, Alex P...I know what I was told and what I was shown for a total price. They make it as if I am an idiot and am making this stuff up...I am not!!! I am not saying I am devoid of blame here b/c I trusted them and in the end, I was misled by this company!"

"The owner himself sold me my replacement windows. I remember him making a big deal that all windows come with a LIFETIME Warranty. We joked about having small children and the unexpected things that can happen. He reassured me Lifetime means Lifetime. He also hand wrote it on my invoice. That coming from the owner was a large part of why I paid Venture more than their competitors. A few years passed and one of my windows started getting cloudy. I went to Venture and in a week or so I picked up my replacement. Now again I have another cloudy piece of glass. Only this time Venture forwarded me to their vendor who told us we would need to fill out an online form. After approx 4 weeks with no update we contacted them again. They said since its been 20yrs we would need to pay $70 for the replacement. I left a message for Bruce only to be called back by his staff to let me know $70 was more important than honoring their agreement. This is something to consider before hiring."

Making an existing window bigger always requires some construction, but the extent varies by project. Vertical expansions involve less structural work because they often don't affect load-bearing elements. Even so, any enlargement requires removing siding or drywall, cutting framing members, and installing appropriate support. Non-load-bearing walls allow for simpler modifications, while load-bearing walls require proper headers and structural support. A consultation with a structural engineer is advisable before beginning any window enlargement project.
Building permits are required for window enlargement projects in most municipalities. Since enlarging windows involves structural modifications to your home's exterior walls, local building departments need to review and approve the plans. Permit costs range from $100 to $300, though projects requiring significant structural changes may incur permit fees of $500 or more. Additionally, homes in historic districts or those governed by HOAs may need special approvals. Always check local requirements before beginning work.
An average window enlargement project takes between five hours and three days to complete. Simple projects with minimal structural changes might be finished in five to ten hours, while more complex enlargements requiring significant structural modifications could take up to three days. Factors affecting the timeline include the window's location, wall construction, weather conditions, and the need for specialized materials. The process involves demolition, framing, window installation, and interior/exterior finishing work.
