Description of Work: We couldn’t even get them to come out for an estimate. Wayne claimed they don’t serve our area - but clearly 33467 is in their service area. False advertising as they indicate they serve all Palm Beach County. Not sure how Angie’S List allows them to continue that practice.

The work was good. The technicians I spoke with were knowledgeable. They were professional, on time, and the materials of the shutters were fine. They were certified in the installation of hurricane shutters and were able to provide all of paperwork. They also provided maintenance services for the shutters and that has been very good as well. In general, we were satisfied with what we got.

They were fine and I was pleased with the work. They came out and did what they said they could do. There were no problems with the work. They were the only people who had a specific removable track system that I needed for my all glass front door. Two of my neighbors saw the work and hired the company as well.

We had really bad shutters prior to the installation. Being in a hurricane area, it is a wise investment for these type of shutters. They did what they were supposed to do. They came back out to open, close, and show us how to use the shutters. They did a good job and I would use them again. I have recommended them to others and I would refer them to others.
Description of Work: They installed between ten to fifteen hurricane shutters.

So far I am still waiting to see if anyone will return my calls, but with four (4) separate calls ignored, the unspoken message they are sending me at least is "We got your money, you got your shutters, now go away and don't bother us with any problems they have" This is not a satisfactory response, and I am now giving them a F rating. Update 8/15/13: After seeing the review, the owner called me promising immediate results. After a few questions, he determined the employee that was at fault, and he is being dealt with. The repairman was out within 2 hours, and repaired the problem. I am restoring my grade back to A.
Description of Work: Although the initial service and installation had gone quickly a couple months ago, 2 weeks ago tried to shutter the house and found one of the shutters was mis-drilled for a locking pin, Have tried since then on 4 separate occasions to get service, all I get is voice mail or the operator taking a message, and no one ever calls back to arrange for an inspection and/or repairs.

Response from Dependable Shutter & Glass
This is unacceptable! Dependable did not build our reputation on providing this type of service. We have had a very high call volume due to the hurricane season. We have hired additional help to assure that our customer service would not lack. I appreciate (removed member name) expressing his dissatisfaction so we can make the appropriate changes with our new staff. Dependable has sent a tech on 8/15/13 to address (removed member name) concerns and granted 2 lubrication/preventative maintenance calls at no charge. Our hope is to regain (removed member name) confidence in Depenable. Wayne Thompson Vice-President / Dependable Shutter and GLASS

Dependable Shutter was very prompt and responsive to all our requests - first providing an estimate on shutters around our house, and secondly, about installing impact windows and doors instead of shutters. Unfortunately we decided to contract with a different company.

The quote was prompt and responsive in mid November. They had to order shutters which took two months. We had to keep calling them....they did not tell us when the shutters would be ready. Finally they installed them on February 1 after we called them inquiring when installation might occur. The installation itself went smoothly and was done in one day. However the final inspection was not done for some time. Again we had to call and call. They did not pull a proper permit and had to redo some paperwork. We spent several days waiting for inspections that never materialized...they had not called them in...and they did not have a completed permit which they failed to tell us. On April 1 we did get a satisfactory inspection. The work done seems fine. However they failed miserably to let us know where things were. The installation took a day....the rest took five months!
Description of Work: Take down and install new hurricane accordion shutters on 17th floor condo. Covered sliding glass door areas.

call them for service and repair some accordion shutters, they schedule it and told me the service only will be 250 $ because is a two story high home and the repair possible can be do it at the same time if not they will provide with a estimate of the repair. they schedule for around 12 AM and came at 9 AM i was in home so was no problem for me but came little in a hurry and they guy didn't know that he had to try to repair my shutters but took the info what he need and suppose to call be back with an estimate. wait for a week and did not call me. i call them and they told me they will call me back, didn't do it. i am kind of DYI guy and i end repairing the shutters myself. and let me teel you they look intimidating but is kind of lego it was pretty easy, just take pictures and notes what are you are disassemble buy a silicon base lubricant apply to all parts except the bottom rile and put everything back even the blades that were separated they are not broken, separate them completed and but them back.
Description of Work: they came at 9 AM an start applying lubricant to the top rile only, and move back and forward the shutter in my opinion with excessive force. they Finnish in an hour and after they did it seems to me little expensive.

Great service. Dependable technicians.
Description of Work: I had problems with two of four sliding door shutters during and after Isaac. The manufacturer/installer was no longer in business; however, a franchise on the west coast of Florida recommended Dependable Shutter Service, Inc., which just happened to be on Angie's List. I called and the scheduler was able to fit in the call in a very short period of time despite heavy volume. Two gentlemen came on time to repair and lubricate the shutters, insuring that all were working smoothly. A friend in the same complex, who was at work, needed repairs on one of four sliding door shutters. After servicing my shutters, I took the gentlemen to her house. Repairs and maintenance were performed there with the same excellent service. Now all of the shutters are in perfect working condition at both homes. The technicians were knowledgeable, courteous and efficient.

i have used them, very successfully, for several years to service and lubricate my hurricane shutters. Update: As I said, I have used them and given referrels for them. When I needed to get a quote for some new doors, was VERY disappointed that their quote was more than double what the next highest quote was. No idea why so high all of a sudden. Too bad, because they do good work.

This company did not perform a good job. I was not satisfied at all with the service. Their treatment to the customers is awful.
