I recently signed a contract with Power Home Remodeling for a major renovation, which includes a full siding replacement (my house has rotting wood), new gutters, eight new windows, and a front door. The quoted price is $80,000, and the materials have already arrived. Initially, I felt good about it since the work is necessary and it should increase my home's value. However, after discussing it with my brother, I'm having doubts. Has anyone had experiences with Power Home Remodeling or similar projects? Is this price typical, or should I seek local bids before it's too late? Any advice would be great!

You're definitely paying a premium. From what I've seen, you're looking at potentially double what a quality local contractor would charge. They're often labeled as a predatory company. I once got a quote from them for a basic window replacement that was outrageous—it was $26,000! I ended up getting the same work done for under $5,000 with a different company. I’d say cancel if you can and seek out local bids!
Sounds like you might be overpaying here. I've heard from others that their quotes are a major red flag. If they pressure you to sign right away, that's usually a bad sign. Plus, if you didn't gather at least three quotes initially, there's a good chance you're in for a surprise. I really suggest you get a few comparative quotes from local contractors to see where you truly stand.
Honestly, Power Home Remodeling is known for being overpriced. I got a quote from them for my roof a couple of years ago that was around $30,000, but other local contractors offered similar work for about $7,500. They're notorious for their high-pressure sales tactics and inflated prices. I'd definitely recommend getting multiple quotes from local companies before committing. Don’t hesitate to tell them you're reconsidering and check out your options. Always good to have at least three quotes for big projects!
