Salco Screens

I would definitely NOT recommend Tony Saladino with Salco Screens and his team. I needed a screen enclosure that should have taken 3 days max. They do not communicate at all, and the crew didn't even review the blueprints, so an error was made on the first day. The project started 5 days late and when the crew finally started the job they left after only 2 hours. This continued throughout the 9 business days that it took. I repeatedly asked for a schedule and was never told what day or time the crew would be working. They missed two days completely that they promised to be at my home. On most days they started at 10:30 and worked until 3:00. It was very frustrating. Basically, just wait and see every day. I have dogs and need to know when people will be on my property. When I asked for consistency to get the job completed and reasons why it was taking so long, I was told it was weather related. We had all nice days except for two and even on those two colder days, my other electrical contractors showed up and worked. All their ladders and supplies were laying around my property for 13 calendar days. That is unacceptable to me. It should have taken only 3 days. Karenkks3355@outlook.com

Top notch job by Salco Screens!! Went above and beyond. Would highly recommend just ask for Tony Saladino.

Buyer Beware....!!! Contracted with them to do a hard roof on my lanai, had a few concerns with some leaks in both the inside and gutters before I gave my last payment and got talked into giving it to them anyway. Now I've tried to get them back out for 3 months and nothing. I've still got the leaks, things are getting mildewed with all the rain we've had and I'm going to have to hire another company to repair what should be under warranty. I cannot recommend at all...

They refused to refund $250, claiming it was for "engineering" work, although they did nothing for us and we saw nothing in exchange for the $250 they kept.

We got an estimate form the representative. I decided that I want to make the deal (without consulting my husband) and I paid a 25% deposit on the spot. My husband was not okay with the deal I made and in top of that the association did not get back to me with an answer about the modification. I called to cancel the contract and they got upset with me. they said they already paid an architect/engineer to design the modification and if I want a refund they will deduct $250.00 the amount they paid the architect. they refunded the deposit minus the penalty amount mentioned. they never provide any proof that they paid anybody for any work on our behalf. on the paper I signed, there is no mention about penalties of canceling or no full refund if you change your mind. we ask them several times to refund the amount of $250.00 but they refused. I don't think it is fair to be charged for services you did not received. Buyers out there, please be aware when making deals with this company.

Always outstanding work. Fair prices. There was a time during the summer they were on a large job in Orlando I think it was and they were not able to help me at that time. That was understandable. They are still who I call first. Very knowledgeable, caring, not sure what more you can ask for.

The screen company owner's son took the paperwork down on my estimate, and he was not prepared to collect a deposit at that time. He told me he had another job and did screenwork only part time. Tony, the owner, previously stated he tried and tied and couldn't catch me at home to collect deposit. I would have been fine paying it when I got the written estimate, which his son was not prepared to give. So Tony wanted me to be at home in the mornings but I had a lot going on that week (I work at USCENTCOM at MacDill AFB) and told him I could meet him after 4pm, but he couldn't do it. So it's flat out false when he said he tried and tried to catch me at home, and it was I who didn't get anything in writing until after the job was done. Also, they started the job a day early and ended a day late--with Tony demonstrating a very unprofessional attitude. He acted like starting early was a good thing. For who? Starting early was bad because I needed to be home and take care of my dogs. It's unreasonable for anyone to just show up at someone's house, with no prior coordination, no permission, with no one home, and start working on their lanai. I had arranged to take Friday (start day) off and I was to be home each day but they showed on Thursday and began work. They were supposed to finish Sunday. Well, they didn't show all weekend as they had agreed. On Friday they called that morning to tell me they'd not be there that day until late. Tony's son was a nice guy but work he did was terrible...some of the panels were crooked and ripply, but no one said a word about it until I did. Next, I had an appointment...a job interview on the following Monday, which was why I needed them finished and gone on Sunday--as agreed. But Tony flat out told me he had a bigger, more important customer and said when they call, he jumps. So making any deals with this guy at Salco doesn't mean a thing--he is not a man of his word by any means. He will apparently leave you stuck if a bigger job shows up last minute, finishing your job when the want to. So I had to change my interview appointment last minute. I'll add on one of the days they were at my house, I came home to find his son's wife (or girlfriend) just sitting there on my lanai and I guess enjoying the day away. And here Tony acted like I was the one who was hard to get along with because I took issue with them not being there when they said the would, and they were there at other times without any notice, doing shoddy work at that. Tony also had commented that my backyard neighbor had no problems...yes, the one he is personal friends with from way back according to her. My other neighbor used Salco a couple times, until he left them stranded too, They have an "A" review here and an "F" review that followed, apparently for the same types of issues. Save yourself the headache...don't use this company.

We have used this service provider multiple times in the past and actually one of the above good reviews was from us. Despite being good customers in the past, on 2 separate occasions now we have been put on the back burner. In June of 2013 we inquired about getting some work done. We didn't get a response until over two weeks later stating it would take 3-5 weeks to get the work done. Again this summer we inquired about getting 2 panels replaced and were told it could be done the following week. After no work happened we asked for a update and were told it would be at least another week with no definitive date. I feel like they are just stringing us along. While their work in the past has been fine they are not reliable. If you value your time and looking to actually get the work done I would no longer recommend this company. Our neighbor also had similar complaints after he used them when he saw them at our house on a previous job.

We have used this company numerous times in the past (all different issues). So we emailed them asking to be put on the list to get the screen fixed. We got a quick response and they were out the next week to fix. As they were fixing the panel that blown out in a storm, he also pointed out a few other panels that might go soon too. He recommended that we wait till the end of the summer to fix those, incase we get some more storms. Since they were not completely coming off we decided to wait with the other areas. We really appreciate his suggestions and not trying to add extra unnecessary costs on.

A+ job from start to finish!!
