After reading the previous complaints about Atlantic Remodeling, I feel a lot better about my decision NOT to accept their same day offer. They have their sales people trained to perfection... Almost. The company sounded great, the products sounded great, even the price analysis and breakdown of similar companies, local companies, and home depot/lowes was somewhat impressive. At the very beginning of the estimate, our sales guy, Mark, informed us that he would respectfully accept "No" as an answer just as he would accept "yes". That statement was far from the truth. We had informed Mark that we were not interested in the discounted same day price even before he measured the roof and priced everything out. So it was a little fishy when he presented the $18,500 price and a $14,000 discounted same day purchase price and was outwardly offended by our refusal of the offer. He simply couldn't understand why we wouldn't accept the offer. We tried to explain that this would be a blind purchase for us, but he wouldn't hear it. He gave us the "is it something I did?" spiel and then quickly turned cold and rude. The colder and ruder he became the better I felt about our refusal. It took us an hour (we were eagerly watching the clock because playoff hockey was starting) to get him to finally, and without respect, accept our "no". If a company is so "confident" in their original pricing (which he ensured is good for a year) why would they desperately try to pressure the costumer to buy same day? Mark even admitted that if we didn't buy today we wouldn't buy from them, because... He rambled about human beings and items on sale, but we knew the real answer, because they do not have the best price. Sorry Mark, your high pressure sales tactics didn't work this time!
