I was a Hansons window crew leader in the early to mid 90s. I saw first hand on a daily basis how dishonest they are. Brian Elias (the owner) actually teaches his salesmen and other staff how to lie to customers in order to get the most money from them and/or to get customers off their back. Every other job i went on, the windows were mis-measured so i would call the office and tell them, "these windows are wrong". The response i got EVERY TIME was, "just make them work somehow". One of their biggest keys to profiting is selling a junk product for top dollar. Or, if you insist you want the best, theyll gladly get you a better product but youll pay AT LEAST DOUBLE of what they should really cost. Their professional liars/salesmen will try to convince you that youre getting such a good deal, but in reality your getting scammed by trained liars. They know that most people dont really know much about windows so they take advantage of that fact. Little do most people know - you can get a better window for less money any day of the week all year long. Your best option by far is to contact a local smaller company - like (Improve USA - 586-610-6161) honest & inexpensive - where they truly care about their customers and their work because they survive on referrals from happy customers - (not - RIDICULOUS GIMMICK SALES TACTICS & EXPENSIVE ADS). Dont people understand it yet? I cant believe how vulnerable some people are to fall for all of their ridiculous nonsense. Those companies (HANSONS for sure) take advantage of you every chance they get. The companies with all of those big TV ads, mailing ads, phone book ads, and huge salesmen commissions ("get as much as you can") have to charge you back DIRECTLY for all of their huge advertising costs - youll be paying MORE the minute you dial their number. Hansons is simply a full blown major league SCAM!!! Wake up folks - hansons is the biggest scam company out there - a total rip off! A huge scar on the industry. Theyve completely ruined the trust and honesty factor for others with all of their scheming gimmick nonsense.
Just because you see their ads every where you look doesnt mean theyre good and/or honest - it just means youll PAY MORE - THATS ALL!!! Since leaving Hansons many years ago ive heard many more (an uncountable number) of horror stories about them screwing people over continuing their scamming. When i go to customers homes now where theyve already had Hansons liars there, I beat their price drastically EVERYTIME and provide a better window. Dont waste your time and your (hard earned money) with Hansons, they are complete thieves.
Thats all Brian/Hansons does is - hire smaller companies (sub contractors) to do the installation anyway. You can call a smaller company direct yourself and save a lot of money. Hansons/Brian Elias is a JOKE!!! A little story - I was at a party at Brian Elias personal home (Waterford area) years ago in the 90s where i stood and watched him and a few of his salesmen laughing their asses off about how they just scammed an elderly couple for an extra $6000 on a particular job. I interupted them and said, "what are you talking about, do you really think thats funny?" They all looked at me like i was nuts - as if thats how it was supposed to work. Its a NORMAL daily practice for them to get as much as they possibly can out of every customer no matter what it takes - GET THEIR CASH!
(DONT [YOU] BE THEIR NEXT PUNCHLINE) -
(DONT FALL FOR THEIR THIEVING NONSENSE)
a side note:
Brian Elias used to have (might still have) a personalized license plate on his car -
(WHOGAF) - meaning - (WHO - Gives A Fk)!
That should tell you something - (he sure doesnt - give a fk) - thats for sure!
Brian Elias is just a lying greedy ego freak making a fortune on vulnerable people - PERIOD!
