Colorado Springs is nestled at the base of America’s Mountain: Pikes Peak. The city was founded as a place of want, not of need. William Jackson Palmer, Colorado Springs’ founder, was surveying land for the railroad at a time when towns were developed around natural resources—not sheer beauty.
Colorado Springs was the exception. Palmer was captivated by the beauty of this place and continued to advocate for conservation of the flora and fauna that makes this place unique.
Colorado is generally considered a mountainous state, but is unique in that it also consists of high plains to the east and desert areas to the west in the Colorado Plateau region. This cool, semi-arid climate begs large temperature swings and boasts more than 300 days of high-altitude sunshine every year.
Bringing the Outdoors In
Palmer wasn’t the only one to admire the beauty and uniqueness of Colorado. Musicians have been waxing poetic about the views for years in songs like “America the Beautiful” written in the late 1800s to “Rocky Mountain High” in the 1970s and more recently “Good Life” in 2010. People still move to Colorado for its beauty and recreation–part of the draw is to be able to embrace the lifestyle and to bring the outdoors in.
Logistically, with the aforementioned climate challenges, this dream is easier said than done. However, home builders like Comito Homes and iconic destinations like The Broadmoor Hotel have recognized these unique challenges and have risen to meet them with quality products.
Quality + Longevity
Lauren Comito-Perrault of Comito Homes breaks it down: “We build luxury custom homes, and in those homes, our baseline is quality and longevity.” She goes on to explain that they choose products for those homes with the same expectation. “Pella windows and doors are in line with the level of excellence we expect in our homes,” she states. “Quality, longevity, aesthetic, climate and altitude performance as well as the customer service and warranty are the reason we have had such a longstanding relationship with Pella.”
Similarly, Eric McCown of The Broadmoor explains how they use Pella windows and doors in their buildings to include the indoor pool and the west tower. He explains how Pella allows them “to maintain the same historical look, while also using modern technology.” He elaborates that the UV ratings on the glass not only provide privacy and protection; they also are an important consideration in maintaining the integrity of the indoor fabrics.
Excellent Customer Service
One common thread in each of these testimonies was the customer service that Pella offers. Both Comito-Perrault and McCown pointed out that the customer service with the team at Pella is outstanding and although there are certainly competitors with similar products, Pella’s commitment to customer service is unparalleled.
Paul Vanderploeg has worked for Pella since 1988. After listing the many features Pella windows and doors offer and reviewing some features that are unique to their product, he states something so seemingly simple that if it weren’t so profound, it might have gotten lost in the notes. He states it is the Pella standard never to simply meet expectations, but to exceed them. And therein lies the foundation on which the product stands.
Modern Features
So, yes. Pella is a product that seeks to meet all customers at their price point, providing modern features that excel in the Colorado climate while providing a wide array of aesthetics to maintain the integrity and architecture of each home. They have sought out and implemented added features like the roll screen, indoor cleaning features, and dust-free blinds to enhance their product offerings as they see their products as an investment in a customer’s home.
Ultimately, while their product is synonymous with quality, it’s their exceptional service that truly sets them apart. With a dedicated service center and coordinators who are actively engaged in the market every day, along with daily customer support available to address any needs, Pella demonstrates through action their commitment to fostering strong relationships and bringing the outdoors in.
