Certified Contractor Program Helps Bellwether Inspire Homeowner Confidence

If you are looking to remodel a home in the Front Range of Colorado, you’ll hear the name Bellwether Windows, Siding & Doors everywhere you turn. The award-winning, Denver-based company has unlocked rapid growth since partnering with Pella by becoming a certified contractor.

We caught up with owner and operator Tanisha Dembicki to learn what’s fueled their success—and why their partnership with Pella has made all the difference.

As one of the area’s leading home improvement experts, Bellwether recognized that expanding their offering from siding to include windows and doors was crucial to meeting homeowner needs and supporting larger-scale renovation projects. "We started as a siding company, learning that to meet homeowners where they needed it, we needed to start offering windows," Tanisha noted.

Bellwether knew that they couldn’t just partner with any supplier, they wanted a brand that would provide warranty support and service to give their customers confidence. “Homeowners in our demographic and our neighborhoods are looking for things that will last, because this is a big investment – and our contracts are sometimes very sizable,” Tanisha explains. “They want that brand name promise.” By utilizing Pella's strong national reputation and industry-leading warranties, Bellwether assures clients of durable, high-performance products designed to withstand the test of time.

Colorado's demanding climate, known for fire risks, heat and severe winter conditions, requires products that can endure extremes while delivering high performance. Bellwether delivers these solutions by offering durable Pella fiberglass and wood-clad options well-suited for the local climate. Tanisha explains, “Pella Impervia has been really great to be able to sell in the mountains – also, the wood-clad options. They're beautiful. And we when we work in the mountain homes, they're easy to sell.”

Working with Pella has offered more than just long-lasting products; it has delivered unparalleled support that has become invaluable to Bellwether and their operations. “We have had support with Pella that we never had on the windows and doors front [from others],” said Tanisha. “We know people by name at the branch and that's been a very big deal to us.”

The capability to efficiently create and manage quotes through Pella’s software has also significantly contributed to Bellwether’s success. “Our sales reps and project guides are able to take what the homeowner needs and put it into the software,” she said, highlighting how the tool streamlines their sales process.

Bellwether even attributes becoming a PCC and soaring to Platinum Certified Contractor status in their first year in the program as a defining aspect of their success in 2024. The relationship they’ve built with their local branch feels like they are working with colleagues, peers and friends who are genuinely invested in their success.

“The customer service is a big deal as a contractor. We're putting our neck on the line.” Receiving prompt responses, including communications from the branch president, underscores the personalized support Bellwether receives.
