In the course of our conversation this morning, she told me they wanted a $50 (returnable IF they get the order) fee for coming out to do the estimate. Considering they're four miles away and this was not mentioned in our prior conversation AND considering they are the only contractor who has ever asked us for a and quot;refundable feeand quot; for giving an estimate in all the time we've owned our home, I am completely disgusted. I've thought it through and I don't see the point of this. It's milking the situation to their advantage. I had hoped to do business with them as the young lady was very pleasant initially and I assumed this was the type of courteous and agreeable customer service we would received from them. So they were at the top of our list for contractors for this project.
If it was within our budget, we had hoped to get two awnings, the replacement awning, and a second for the front door if we could swing it.
But thinking it though,this is the height of taking advantage of a disaster situation and I felt disgusted after hearing her say that. I've heard of this kind of thing during emergencies but this is the first I'd experienced it first hand. There has been so much damage in the aftermath of this storm and everyone - including all the vendors I've been in touch with have been bending over backwards to assist us and all our CT neighbors in this. But Awning Place - no.
"We just came across this review and though quite late in response, felt it was necessary to respond... We would like to say that we're sorry you feel that way. However, you can hardly say that we are "milking the situation". In fact, it's quite the opposite. The only reason why we started charging a refundable fee is due to customers "milking" us. It costs us time, gas, insurance, workmans compensation, expenses, etc. to go on a "free estimate"... and honestly, we're happy to do it. However, when insurance is involved, too often these calls result in people taking the money with no intention of replacing or repairing the product. So, yes, we now charge a fee (in fact many awning companies now charge for insurance quotes and we happen to be one of the cheaper ones), but we also return that fee if you decide to have the work done with us and Im quite certain if the claim is legitimate, your insurance company would reimburse you this fee as well. We think that's more than fair."
