"Unprofessional visit. Showed up unannounced and we only knew they were there because one person stood 10 feet from our porch staring at us in through our living room window. My wife spent 10 minutes talking to them, they stated they had no business cards, they only had an appointment card but didn't present it. Honestly when you show up at someone's house you need some sort of identifier if your walking door to door in casual clothes. After the uncomfortable dead stare through the windows my wife and i have decided to post a No Solicitors sign. They didn't take no for an answer at first, pushing with more questions to circumvent the no she gave, as well as interrupted our dinner, as they showed up right at 6pm."

We are the window replacement division of Andersen Windows, drawing on the Andersen tradition of over 115 years of quality, innovation, and craftsmanship. Every member of our team is committed to taking care of not only our customers and the community we serve, but each other. We have a culture of making a difference, and we live those values every day.
"This company is a disgrace and should be avoided at all costs. We replaced every window and door at the cost of 55k only to have a complete disaster from beginning to end. 14 service calls and 18 months later they just completed the work in mid December 2022. Last night I discovered yet another problem, a dent in a door panel they changed out in December. They’re a bunch of amateurs that were not prepared any of the 14 times they were at our home. I basically had to project manage their team for them to make sure they had everything covered. We should have gone to Pella instead. Incidentally, Pella were very interested in our horrible experience with Richmond Window Corporation when I spoke with them recently. Apparently it’s not the first time they’ve heard complaints like this."

A quality motorized pergola has a lifespan of 15 to 20 years with proper maintenance. The structural components often last longer than the mechanical elements, which may require servicing or replacement after seven to 10 years of regular use. Aluminum and vinyl structures typically outlast wood in challenging climates. Overall, though, regular maintenance significantly extends the lifespan of motors and moving parts.
For many homeowners, the added convenience and functionality of motorized pergolas justify their higher cost. Standard motorized systems cost $50 to $70 more per square foot than fixed pergolas. This premium provides significant benefits in weather adaptability and ease of use. Homeowners who frequently entertain outdoors or live in areas with unpredictable weather often find the additional investment worthwhile for the extended usability of their outdoor space.
Maintenance requirements vary by material and complexity but include seasonal cleaning and occasional system checks. Expect to spend $2 to $5 per square foot for professional cleaning services. Annual inspection of motors and moving components is recommended, with service visits costing $150 to $300. Aluminum and vinyl structures require minimal maintenance beyond cleaning, while wood demands regular sealing or staining to prevent deterioration.
The complete process spans anywhere from a few hours to several days to install a pergola. Custom designs may require additional manufacturing time, extending the timeline by several weeks. The actual on-site installation takes between two and five days, depending on complexity and size. Weather conditions, permit processing times, and contractor availability can all affect scheduling. Planning your project during less busy seasons may result in faster completion.
While the cost to build a pergola starts at $3,000 to $5,000, self-installation of motorized systems is not recommended without significant construction and electrical experience. The complexity of these systems requires specialized knowledge for proper function and safety. Incorrect installation can compromise structural integrity, void manufacturer warranties, and create potential hazards. If pursuing a DIY approach, consider hiring professionals for critical electrical components.
