[quote=Anonymous]FYI -

I was caught on the doorstep today by a charming and friendly young man who persuaded me to make an appointment for a free estimate regarding the replacement of some old windows and damaged gutters. I was surprised he talked for so long (usually doorstep sales pitches are much shorter), pressed me for an appointment as soon as possible, and asked for two phone numbers and a number of private questions (those I did not answer). He put me on the phone to confirm the appointment with a sales rep. All this felt fishier and fishier, but I got rid of him, went online and discovered that they had really bad Yelp reviews. Power Remodeling, apparently based in Greenbelt but operating all over the area, is actually a high-pressure sales operation which consists of spending many hours ostensibly making an estimate of outside replacement/repairs on homes, while pressuring the homeowners to sign a contract that is markedly more expensive than the competition. If owners cancel the appointment, they then get hounded on the phone and must resort to blocking their numbers.

I canceled the appointment I had made as soon as I read these reviews, and will see whether they call back.
