Very well and love the impact windows.
Description of Work: Replace existing windows with Hurricane Impact windows. The screws cover the tables and others items with plastic before removing old windows. It will still be a little dusty on the floor for any window replacement and it is acceptable for us. We love the new impact windows and they cut down the noise from neighbors. It was a great experience with Dependable shutter service. They did the previous accordion shutters at the same house and very happy with the service and workmanship.
All went very good. Had a little challenge with sliding doors but they followed up until it was rectified.

I called Dependable Shutter and Glass to ask for someone to come to my house to fix a pre-existing shutter that was jammed. While the lady who took my call was very professional, she nor anyone from the company called me back on consecutive days. Once they told me they'd call me back by the end of the day, the next time they said they'd call me back by the end of the week. No one called back either time. I've since had the problem fixed.

It was not really nice. The price was pretty comparable. The work was very good until the last day when due to a scheduling issue, they had to rush and do 2 days of work on the last day which resulted into very sloppy finishes and lack of attention to detail. There was also a miscommunication as to whether or not we were allowed to keep our old doors and windows and we were told that we couldn't and we felt that was not correct. It was stated on the paperwork that we were able to keep it.

$150 later, we were told all was fine, and the shutters were lubricated. Inspection by us afterwards, debris in tracks was untouched, no evidence the shutters were even closed on one side of the house, rollers that crumble to our touch were not identified, etc. waste of money. Back to the drawing board with another vendor. I would not use them for anything.

The install was surprisingly fast. Their installers were very quick and left everything very clean afterwards. We have some issues with the manufacturer with some of the windows but DSG took care of everything and we were always informed. Even the owner stop by to inspect the quality of the job.

I called to schedule a maintenance service on my accordion shutters. After being given a quote (which I thought was reasonable) and scheduling the appointment I was asked how I would be paying cash or check (no problem with that). I was then requested to provide a credit card number (I did not think that was reasonable and declined to provide one), and was told the appointment could not be scheduled without providing one. I was told the card would not be charged but I have never had to provide a credit card as security to have a company come to my home and provide a service and I don't intend to start now. Just be aware if you want to do business with this company be prepared to expose your credit card information.

Good day, I apologize for the disappointment. Due to the cost of fuel and insurance, we have had to implement this policy. Our crews have shown up to a multitude of service calls in which no one was home and or the client changed their mind and never notified our office.The credit card policy has correct the majority of these busted trips. Feel free to contact me direct, Wayne Thompson ext 203, and I will make an exception for you. We value you as a client! Great Day!

I could not recommend this business more highly as they were a joy to work with and gave us VERY valuable information about keeping our newly purchased condo safe. From the initial visit by the salesman, Chad, who recommended many options to us, to the survey of the windows, and then to the installation, every contact with Dependable was professional, friendly, and ON TIME!!
Description of Work: arranged for site inspection of work to be done, got necessary approvals and permits, then provided hurricane shutters and arranged inspection after work completed. every step of the process was seamless and on time.

I got three proposals for hurricane shutters. Dependable's price was in-line with the others, and, in my opinion, for a significantly better product than I was offered by their competitors. From the beginning their professionalism impressed me. I paid a deposit on May, 22, 2014, and they started the process. A rep came and measured. Another rep came to review the measurements and determine if there were going to be installation issues. The office staff called numerous time to update me on the progress of the project. The permits were pulled, and the shutters were installed on June 30, 2014. My wife was there for the one day installation. The installers were professional and nothing was left behind. A week later I noticed one installed screw that I did not like. I called them on a Friday, and they fixed on Monday. Very positive overall impression. Quality product, professional, on-time, courteous, definitely worth your time to get a quote from them.

Poorly. First crew had problems with installation and simply left. I called and spoke with receptionist to get someone to call me back. No callback after 1.5 hours until owner called me back. He said there was an issue w/ the installation and the installer was frustrated. Receptionist rude. Scheduled 2nd attempt of installation. Seemed to be "best installer" and pleasant. Assistant also knew what he was doing. Had to have additional "parts" delivered from Ft. Lauderdale mid-job, extending the day. When I saw they were leaving I went out and saw that there were screws sticking out of metal, which they did trim, and mess on pieces of metal behind railings which I was told would clean up after a few rains -- yeah right. They look like a 2 year old with fingers in paint slobbered on these slide pieces. I asked for financial compensation since it took 2 days; that means 2 days off of work for me. They agreed to a 1 year check up. I called to find out when the completed job inspection job would be scheduled. I was told they simply forgot to schedule it. New engineering drawings were needed so told that someone would be dropping off to me on a Saturday. Never came after staying home. Was called and told that the person would bring the papers on Sunday. Showed up at approx. 7pm, after staying home all day. The inspection by code enforcement didn't go well because Dependable forgot to tell me that I needed to be home to let him in to inspect the 2nd floor. Had to reschedule code enforcement for another day when I was home. This was way too much work for me and feel Dependable should have taken better care with this job. Staff had no sympathy or understanding for my time at all.

They called me within 48 hours and scheduled right away. They provided a great service. There was nothing in the way of additional costs. The young man that they sent out did a great job. There was a bit of trouble with the shutters as they hadn't been oiled in several years. Everything is in good working order now. I will use them again.
