We hired Discount Aluminum to remove the carport roof from my mom's mobile home roof after hurricane Milton. They came out a week after talking with us and gave us a quote to remove the carport roof, haul away the damaged aluminum fix any damage to the mobile home roof and put a new carport roof on. The price was very reasonable. Both Frank Sr and Frank Jr. were very professional. They answered all our question's showed up when they said they would. We were very gun shy because we had bad dealing a year ago with a roofing company who tried to scam us so we were very worried about dealing with another contractor. I will tell you this company is legit and does what they say they will do. Things are taking a little longer right now because of the back to back hurricanes.
Description of Work: We needed a new carport roof put on and the old one removed from the mobile home roof and hauled away. Some panels on the mobile home roof needs to be repaired.

replacement windows

Since covid controlled our lives several years ago, I was reluctant to have windows installed in our lanai due to horror stories of companies in this business that failed to perform as promised. This March, 2024, I contacted Discount Aluminum about new windows on chance they were a dependable business, since they have been in business many years. I was shocked when they came, gave an estimate and advised when they would be installed. To my surprise, they installed my windows in 5 hours and did an outstanding job. Living in Ohio, I had a neighbor watch the process. He advised the worker arrived on time and did a great job removing the old windows and installing the new slider windows. He even caulked several areas within the lanai that was not part of the project. I am so "glad" I picked Discount Aluminum. They are a great group of people to know and depend on to do the job right!

In June 2021 a representative of Discount Aluminum came to my house to inspect my patio to determine if we had the necessary footers to fasten a screen enclosure. Certain footers are required by the Pasco County Building Department in order to obtain a permit and pass all inspections. The rep., a man named Joe made several calls to Frank Sanna, the owner, and I was told I was in compliance. I signed the contract and gave a $1500 deposit. Several weeks later I learned from Scott Carley, chief building inspector for the county, additional footers are required. I called Frank and told him what I learned from Scott and he said no to worry he had a good relationship with the building department and it would pass. Since Frank had me pull the permit I would be responsible to comply and therefore I informed him I was canceling the contract and requested a return of my deposit for being mislead. I have received a check for $855. and one for $250., but a balance of $395. is still due me. In addition I spent $190. on building permit fees that a nonrefundable and would like reimbursed. A few days ago I contacted Channel 8 on your side to assist me in recovering my funds. K. Summers

In response to the above complaint from contract dated 05/18/21... Unfortunately in my almost 50 years in this business and others. I run into customers who are at best difficult to satisfy. In reference to the complaint. Mr. [Member Name Removed] signed a contract for a screen room. He inspected his pavers with one of my men. We all agreed it looked like he had a footing under the existing pavers. Before moving forward I was not 100% comfortable, so I gave Mr. [Member Name Removed] the name of the county official to get more input and said if your not comfortable to move forward your money is fully refundable. Mr. [Member Name Removed] said move forward, pay for sealed engineering, layout and site plan as a package which has significant costs involved, of which he was fully made aware of . In addition there is a clause in the contract signed , that states the fees are non refundable. My contract cancellation fees are $250.00 office time exhausted 6 hours to prepare documents for permit, site plan and survey plus many other factors pertaining to the permit process. Additional costs of $395.00 for sealed engineering and design costs. In the very beginning I told Mr. [Member Name Removed] I would do all the above , all he had to do was go to the county and drop off the permit. I proceeded and moved forward with Mr. [Member Name Removed] approval. I didn't want to take responsibility for anything to do with the pavers, Mr. [Member Name Removed] is trying to say falsehoods to blemish my companies reputation. Finally my company absorbed over $650.00 in actual cost and engineering of $395.00. We refunded all but engineering which he left at county .

From contacting to installation was great until it came time to making the payment. I had talked to Frank after the job was completed and was ready to pay with my Visa card and was told by him that he would rather not be paid in that fashion because of the 4% surcharge and rather be paid by check. I do not live in Florida and was on mandatory business travel at the time and don't travel with my check book and told Frank I would get the check in the mail as soon as I returned home. I just received a voice mail from Frank threatening to put a LIEN against my house if payment isn't made ASAP. I called him to discuss the issue and if he wanted to use my Visa and he told me that it was my responsibility at the time of booking his service that I was going to be using a Visa and not a check book and did it in a fashion were he used multiple curse words including the F-bomb at which time I hung up. I have made arrangements for a friend to get the check in the mail today. All of this was over a $25.00 Visa surcharge that Frank didn't feel that he needed to pay as a business owner.

Response from Discount Aluminum
in response to said review, [Member Name Removed] called my company from a referral. He asked me on an urgent basis to replace his rotted out aluminum pan roof gutter which was full of debris and leaking at a split overtop of his brand new a/c unit thus damaging it. He needed 2 new 3x4 commercial grade downspouts at 10' along with new roll form aluminum pan roof gutter totaling $615.00 for a contract date of 4-8-2020. [Member Name Removed] was told the price of $615.00 plus a 4% credit card administration fee or to mail a check. I trusted him. What a mistake that was. As of 5-6-2020 i have still not recieved a check. We sent digital photos several weeks ago. He said he would mail a check. He finally answered his phone after over 2 weeks by text. I finally talked to him and he said he was away on business for about a month. I still havent recieved a check. If i knew he would not pay for a month i would have said to pay the fee or to get someone else to install. Let me be clear, when we asked for a credit card payment, i told him i would eat the fee. He then said that he forgot his wallet at home while away on business for a month. This man is a liar. This is not about the money. People like this are outrageous. I did not use the F bomb. Simply put, he dosent want to pay for said work. and yes, Florida does have lien laws to protect both contractors and customer. This will be my first time in over 40 years in business that ive met someone like this clown. While under COVID 19 we have to wait until the appropriate time. This whole thing is ridiculous. I remain, Frank Sanna President of Discount Aluminum

Wonderfully! Our new screened room is beautiful and provides extended living space for our home. The work was completed quickly and with no problems.
Description of Work: We wanted to enclose our patio into a screened room.
It went wonderfully! Two "gentlemen" finished my job in just 4 hours. They removed my old screens and frame without damage to the walls, they installed the new frame, windows and screens to perfection, caulked their work to prevent water seepage, they cleaned up after themselves, and they only took one short break to each lunch. The whole process took 4 hours and was done extremely professionally! I couldn't be happier with Discount Aluminum!

Frank gave us the best estimate of several bidders. He kept us fully informed as to the progress of the building permit and material status. His crew came and installed the screen portion first then measured and ordered the windows. When they came in the crew promptly installed them and finished the job. The crew was professional and courteous. They advised us on proper care for the screen and windows and door. The inspector passed the installation with flying colors. We are very pleased with Discount Aluminum and should we need any future work they will be our first call.

It leaks from the roof. The door was put on backwards. The door is crooked. The door handle does not work and never has. There is a lot of caulking done to cover up short cuts in the construction. There is also mold collecting because of the water leaks in the roof. We cannot even sit out there, we have to use it for sotrage. The contractor is very rude, disrespectful and hateful. They aslo gave me 2 quotes. They said aluminum was going up in price and pressured me nito paying for the expensive quote. They consistently canceled and were late. The owner would receive and "F."

Response from Discount Aluminum
In response to the above stated complaint. The Landlord/Owner of this property in our opinion is a slum out of state landlord. The reason we were contracted to do the job was because she was in violation for hiring unlicensed contractor(s) to build an illegal screen room which was condemened/fined by the local building department and was torn down by others. We came in after the fact, and did what we always do meet with the homeowner, come to agreement in writing, pull a permit, have the job final inspected and collect payment for a job well done. This job was no different, except for the fact the homeowner was beyond difficult to deal with. At Discount Aluminum it is always our intent to do what we can to make the customer happy but unfortunetly she was never happy. The screen door she is referring to was put in the exact place it was suppose to be per her engineered drawings and permit. The gap underneath her door was due to the fact her existing concrete slab has over 3" of pitch which can only be corrected by breaking out the existing concrete and starting over, she did not want to do that due to cost. The two buildings the aluminum pan roof is attached to is connected on two sides (structure to structure). The garage/house was found to be 8" out of square but we were still able to complete the job. The inspector saw nothing wrong with the workmanship or construction of the job and found the owner's complaint to be bogus and without merrit, furthermore she then accused the county official of being paid off. In closing we did what we agreed to in writing and did our best to service any issues that were construction related per our warranty. It is clear to us that we can not make this customer happy, and it is her obvious intention to smear our good name, we can not stand idlely by and be abused in this manner, customer demands such as free screen doors, and countless extra(s) not listed on her contract are just not in our business model. We are a family owned and operated business for 35 years, because we do good quality work at an affordable price with most of our jobs coming from refferals from other satisfied customers
