Bureau file experience

We rate this company as having an unsatisfactory business
performance record based on a pattern of unanswered complaints.

Complainants allege delays in delivery or installation,
overcharging, or poor quality workmanship. Some customers
complain they are delivered the wrong shutters and have to wait
for exchange orders.

The company responds to most complaints concerning delivery issues by delivering and installing customer orders. They contend that delivery dates can be estimated, but no guarantees are made as production rates may vary.in some cases, monetary settlements are offered in the form of discounts, credits or refunds. A few complaints are closed as disputed. The customer
is not always satisfied with the company's response. Other complaints are unanswered.

We routinely remind consumers to read and understand all
contract terms and provisions before making a buying decision.

Shutters manufactured by this company are considered custom orders, as they are measured and made to customer
specifications. Any cancellation, or changes in the order may result in re-stocking fees or other penalties. Find out what the company's policies are on refunds, exchanges, and warranty issues before purchase. Get all verbal promises in writing.

We do not endorse, recommend or disapprove of any product,
service or company.
