Not Happy with Shutter Professionals
We had our entire house outfitted with shutters from Shutter Professionals in July 2019. This past May we noticed that the paint is peeling on the blades of 3 shutters. We called the office and were told to text pictures of the damage. We didn’t hear anything for a week so we texted the office again and was told that “the owners” would be reminded. That was on May 16th. On June 6th we emailed the office detailing the problem again and the fact that we had never received a response from “the owners”. A Nathan Swartz (“owner”) responded and apologized for not getting back to us. But his response was simply that “We have already made an order for new louvers.” Not sure what that means so I asked Mr. Swartz for an estimate of when the repair would actually be made. No response. I asked Mr. Swartz again on June 13th. No response. I asked Mr. Swartz again on June 20. No response. On June 26th we notified Shutter Professionals that we were filing a complaint with the Better Business Bureau and Florida Consumer Protection Agency. We quickly received a call from Shutter Professionals apologizing for the delay and admitting that they had failed to place the order for the replacement louvres, but that they would be ordered that day and the repairs would be made in 4 weeks. After four weeks we emailed the office again and asked for a status report. Incredibly we were told that, once again the order for the repair parts had not been placed but would be taken care of that day. We asked for a repair date and got no response. We doubt that Shutter Professionals has any intention of honoring their warrantee.
This is disappointing. We purchased from Shutter Professionals because we found good reviews on Talk of The Villages, Yelp and other social media platforms. And because of their “No Questions Asked Lifetime Warranty”. But it seems we will now have to file complaints with the Better Business Bureau, and Florida Consumer Protection and hope we can get a meaningful response from Shutter Professionals through them. We would not recommend Shutter Professionals due to this lack of response to a basic problem which they admit is covered under their warrantee.
