    Complaint Type:
    Delivery Issues
    Status:
    Unresolved
    Signed a contract for them to install a hurricane screen on my lanai June 2023. Gave them a check for the deposit for $3,600.00, (half of the total cost for the job) it was supposed to be done in September, but then they moved the time frame up to August ***** came and measured in July of 2023. Have been calling, the office, both of the owners, ********************* and *********************, left messages for everyone, no return calls, sent many texts, emails to them and received some responses only saying that their having some issues with the business, then it was problems getting workers, then trouble with the distributer, but they would be getting to me soon. Its been nine months and nothing at all. As of todays date, their still saying they will hopefully be getting to me soon,I found out they were still writing new contracts and taking deposits, one in a neighbor, and not showing up to do any of them. I advised them by email on two occasions that I wanted my full deposit back, they never acknowledged either request. Still waiting, just want my deposit back in full and definitely do not want to do any business with them. I think they were aware their business was in trouble long before they wrote my contract, there are people from April 2023 they are in the same position trying to get money back and not able to get any responses to their correspondence or calls to them. Isnt that fraud ?

    I am in the same situation as many of these other customers. My personal belief is that the company has gone bankrupt. ********************* does not return calls. Their show room is locked.Charlotte County needs to close them down. They need to be prosecuted for fraud by the ******* Attorney general. They have scamed people out of thousands of dollars.
