Installing hurricane shutters
I am pricing accordinan shutters for my home, and the problem is that all of
the installers are back logged for months. So here I am ready to go with one, but the deal is a 40% deposit when I sign the contract but the installation won't be happening for at least 16 weeks, which will take us into late August or September. We have heard stories about people not getting their deposit back after waiting months the number may be disconnected or they may be more back logged and keep pushing the dates. Problem is there is no one that is NOT back logged, and the problem is I started calling around Feburary and now is when they have time to come and make an estimate. Any advise how to deal with this situation? No way out of paying a large deposit months in advance? Regards, MC |

After what 05 was like, those installers are making their money while they can. aem sends.... |
