But he's only being a hypocrite for money.

Dan does a spot for a window company. A company that did his windows.

My dad had his windows replaced a few years ago. 5 or 6 guys did the project in 2 or 3 days. I came by the house cuz he can't walk well and I wanted to make sure they weren't stealing from him and doing the job properly.

You can't social distance when you're ripping out windows. 2 guys need to be close together to rip them out and put them in. Sure, they can be wearing masks. But it's a physical activity. So they're sweating in your house. Probably caughing and sneezing.

So it's a risk.

Bernstein yells at people for not wearing masks properly at the grocery store. Yet there he is encouraging people to get their windows replaced in these times. Why? Cuz he gets money for the endormement.

There are certain house maintenance things that are necessary in these times. Things you can't avoid

Window replacements is not one of them. That can wait for a year or so.

Yet Bernstein is telling everybody to have a crew of guys come to their house.

Bernstein should refuse this endorsement in these times. And they shouldn't run them on the SCORE. But, ya know, it's money for him. So he won't. He just doesn't like when others are reckless in these times.

You think Bernstein would get new windows in these times?

People can do what they want.

I'm just saying Dan Bernstein shouldn't be the one encouraging it based on his tone the last month

Bernstein: Listen to Doctors, and only listen to people who listen to Doctors. That being said, since I'm getting paid for this spot, have a bunch of guys come to your house and rip out windows. If the virus is spread this way I'm cool with it. But you better wear a mask over your nose if I'm near you at the grocery store.

We had an independent guy come over for a quote it was right around 5k. Pella came over today and wants 20k. Guy was nice but really trying to sell, he was here way too long. Read the room.

He had a mask but said this is for you guys. My husband said you can take it off, he was thankful.

They dropped even more precipitously when he gave the quote.

We're going cheap.

Power decided to 'Pay' to have my first review taken down'. They shouldn't have the opportunity to do this, if this is truly a venue for people to review companies that in 'our opinion', don't suit our standards. POWER HOME REMODELING DEFINITELY DID NOT.
Below, is a true statement and echos what so many others say on
Yelp. Personally, I do NOT think Sam's Club should ALLOW them
To be approaching people in their store. This is MOST annoying.
I will CONTINUE AND CONTINUE TO RE-POST THIS IF THEY
CONTINUE TO TAKE MY POST DOWN. Obviously, it's all true and
they are threatened by it.
Our 'quote' from Power was over 12 hours LONG. To say it was pressurized, is a gross UNDERSTATEMENT. This man tried EVERY MANIPULATIVE PLOY to make us sign, and forced us to miss our scheduled appointments. The price came down from $49,000 to $27,000. STILL, GROSSLY overpriced for the mere roof quote we wanted (he didn't listen to what we wanted). We did sign, bc we did need a new roof, we were told it was a good deal, and we were UNEDUCATED at that point, and we were told we'd have 3 days to change our minds. We 'educated' ourselves, within that 3 days, canceled our contract with Power in writing, by phone, etc. Our roof isn't complicated, a low pitch roof, very easy. It cost us $6300 ALL IN. That's with a lot of new decking, new venting, garage done as well. ALL MAJORLY WARRANTIED for MANY MANY MANY YEARS TO COME. WE ARE THRILLED WITH OUR CHOICE NOT TO GO WITH POWER! We saved a TON of money, got our roof done WELL, with quality materials. The company we chose was professional, kind, and best of all, RESPECTFUL of our time, and MONEY. Sarah M.

There is very little reason to go with wood or wood with exterior cladding windows anymore. There are some incredibly well made vinyl windows out there that are head and shoulders above the ultra cheap windows. You can even get the vinyl windows with applied jambs and sills. They're virtually indistinguishable from more expensive windows...as long as you wanted white windows.

Many that is true, but an incomplete statement.

these remodeling guys WANT to be in your home as long as possible.. to wear you down over the course of an entire day/night if needed before you finally give up and sign their offer. then if you dont cancel in a think 72 hours they've won... if you have a few minutes... read reviews on power home remodeling, some great salesman stories about their sellers, one example below:

Laurence Holmes is a fucking weirdo, a nerd in denial, and a wannabe. Not a very good radio host either.

Of course everyone sits around and says they hate to be sold, but the reason it's done that way is because it works. There's a formula to building emotion, applying pressure, allowing release, pressing again. The drops are arranged in a particular order so as to make them seem like they're not outlandish. And everything is designed to get you to buy tonight. Free installation? There's no such thing as free installation. It's just a promo drop. The company is making the margin they want to make.

When I ran a construction company I was the operations guy. One of my partners ran the sales and marketing. He's a nuclear closer. But he got this bright idea that we were going to be "a different kind of company". He developed what he called the "consultative sales process". Basically, that meant our guys didn't hard close anyone. They left the estimate and asked when was a good time to follow up. Wednesday or Thursday? We got absolutely killed. And you know who was killing us? Guys who came into the home and pounded the fuck out of the couple for five hours and got them to sign on the dotted line.
