Sales guy was too busy telling me how expensive the pergola project would cost. He never asked me if I wanted to proceed with the project so I?m choosing another company. Also, he was 45 minutes late for the appointment.

Shading Solutions Group installers are very courteous,professional time managing, job done carefully,Coordinating from sale man between time placing order and installation time very quick ,very efficiently. We are so glad to do business second time after couple years ago for our security outside window shutters and this year for metal carport build . We would definitely recommend the company for very good ,down to earth business and we have a good chance to make our plan come true because of the reason price of the metal carport installation . We are very happy., our car would have a roof to cover during the winter time.

Our experience was one of no pressure, we had a patio roof built from scratch. The whole project took about four weeks from my first phone call until the job was complete. We only wish we had done this years ago. Thanks too all.

We dealt with Cardiff through QCI (the contractor) so we did not have contact with customer service at Cardiff. The people that did the work did a nice job and were polite. The overall rating may seem low but that has to do with the customer service part. We are happy with the quality of the product installed. Thanks
Response from Shading Solutions Group, Inc.
"Cardiff Industries was hired by a general contractor to furnish and install a patio cover for their client, Don R. All Cardiff did was perform the installation - the customer service end of the job was with the general contractor."

These guys are OK if everything goes smoothly. Our awning was not the size the salesman and I agreed on, and Cardiff was extremely defensive in trying to escape blame. After 3 unpleasant conversations and my resorting to geometric formulas to show them I was right, they agreed to a new awning for $300 more. Then they had the audacity to suggest that I pay that $300 in cash so they wouldn't have to incur the Visa fee. I refused. I ended up not with a new awning but a patch job on the first one. Cardiff's first priority is definitely Cardiff's bottom line.

The guy who came to do the final measurements was not prepared with a ladder and had to borrow mine but he was a nice guy.

George was very helpful in defining our anticipate project. It was a very complicated installation and required special involvement from the factory to determine if it could be done at all. George coordinated this effort and came up with a realistic quote. However, we were unable to go forward with the projecy=t for financial reasons.

I was very pleased with the person who came out to do the estimating and sell us the awning. The awning itself is very nice. The only complaint I have is that I wish they took as much care with the transportation and installion of the awning as they did with making the awning. I had to contact company regarding some adjustments and they responded fairly quickly, however, they avoided answering some of the stickier questions I asked them.

Salesman called the next dat to set up an appointment to discuss the purchase and installation of the awning. He was prompt, prepared and knew his products very well. The awning was imanufactured and installed in less than two weeks at a very reasonable price and a very good warranty.

Our new metal awning turned out better than expected! The representative from Cardiff offered observations as to the pros and cons of our original idea. We listened and chose one of his options. The project was completed in less than a week by top-of-the-line installers who were on time, courteous, and careful not to damage any of the emerging plants. And they cleaned up. I've already recommended Cardiff to my neighbors.

For our awning project Cardiff industries was superior to Murphy's windows and sun rooms in regards to price, timeliness, and communication. We are pleased with the work that Cardiff did in regards to quality and cleanliness. We would use them again.
