swimming pools
+ -1 moreWe had our pool cage installed less than a year ago. We patiently waited several months past the time we were told it would be installed. In less than a year we are already experiencing an issue that they are unwilling to repair due to the wind from Hurricane Milton. The winds we sustained were tropical storm level. A few days after the storm we noticed several screws had fallen out at a few seams of the pool cage. I called immediately and was told it would be 6 weeks before someone could come and look at the issue. After 4 weeks I called to see where we were at on the schedule only to find out we weren't put on the schedule and that there would be a cost for the repair. My last pool cage (20 years old) saw high velocity winds from Hurricane Charlie, Hurricane Irma, and several tropical storms and there was never any damage or screws falling out. Poor workmanship is the issue. Every dealing I have had with the office staff has been met with rudeness. I don't know if they hate where they work or just hate the people that hire the company to do work for them. Whatever the case, I would highly recommend that anyone thinking of buying or working with Bishop's Aluminum rethink doing so. You will more than likely regret it like myself. Consider yourself warned!

+ -1 moreWe placed a huge deposit for a lanai extension but ended up having to move before any work was done due to a job change. We figured there would be some of the deposit kept due to pulling permits etc. The salesman argued that they did an enormous amount of "office work" and he needed to be paid "his commission". Therefore we only got back a quarter of our deposit. I even asked that any supplies ordered that they could not return be delivered to my home since I couldn't get all my money back, nothing was ordered! Need I say more?

screen repair, swimming pools
+ 0 moreRemoved and installed a new pool cage about 6 months ago. Initial contact with salesman (Wayne) for estimate was good - estimate was lower than 2 other companies. He was easy to get in touch with whenever I had a question. Workers showed up when they said, to remove and build new cage. We are happy with the cage. A few days after completion we realized one of the panels was larger than they had originally told us it would be. I spoke to the office and they came back out the next day or so and reconfigured it with 2 smaller panels and a support in between- good work for a competitive price- Thank you Bishops Aluminum

gutter repair, swimming pools
+ 0 moreThey installed gutters around the house. I noted after they were done (impromptu outside inspection by me) that several securing screws did not even hit the fascia of the house. So they were hooked to nothing. In addition, I noted a big dent in the northwest end of the gutter. I called and promptly complained about this and left a message. They called me back a few days later and told me a person would contact me. He did, and blamed me for the issue. I had, in the meantime (after I noted the bashed in gutter) a company install gutter guards. The rep from Bishops was angry and insisted it was due to this 'incompetent' gutter gard company, they were not responsible. I laid out the timeline (and have the date stamp on the pics I took for verification before the gutter guards were installed) and he still insisted I was wrong and it was not their fault. TERRIBLE CUSTOMER SERVICE. Do not hire them!

screen repair
+ -1 moreWork was performed on time and well done. Issue was with the rudeness and insult to me (the customer) on an issue I raised after the job with the salesman, Chaz, and the office person. I requested to speak to the owner, was told he was out of town. I paid all but 13% of the invoice, waiting to speak to the owner. 2 days later, I received a registered letter that a lien was placed on my home!!!! Never even had the chance to speak to the owner!! Never said I wouldn't pay the balance. Outrageous!! Never use this company....for anything.

+ 0 moreThough they were very upfront on being a few weeks out to do the job, they were very professional and kept us updated as to the date. The quote came in the lower end and when they called to schedule, they showed up on time on the day and thoroughly completed their job. We were very impressed and had a great experience with them. We have already referred them to our friends.
Description of Work: We needed new gutters to be put up on our entire house as well as screen our lanai. This is a newly constructed house.

+ -1 moreMy neighbor used Bishop's Aluminum and so did I because in my research I determined that they were certainly in the top tier of companies that perform this service. I am very glad that I hired them to do the job. The job went like clockwork with engineering and installation precision second to none. The quality of product was excellent! They were easy to work with and have been doing this type of work for a long time and it is evident in the way they do their work and the quality of their work. They were literally fantastic to work with! If you are considering aluminum work, cage replacement, etc you should consider putting them at the top of your list. Thank you for a great job, Bishops Aluminum!

Description of Work: I hired them to install a pool cage over my pool deck. I had some spec of requirement to meet my personal needs such as cat proofing the cage. The requirements were met. I was very unhappy with the clean up. Screws and pieces of metal were left all over my yard and my neighbor's.

Description of Work: Mid-July we gave Bishop's a $750 deposit for contracted work to be done on our pool cage and front-door porch screening. They were to install all new anchor plates, replace all the door handles, change out all the framing screws to stainless steel, plus install all new quality screening. At contract they said it would be a week or two before they could start. |After some badgering they finally set Aug 31-Sept 1 for our complete install. Their installer didn't arrive until very late afternoon, and with an (untrained) "assistant". The next months were all downhill from there, a complete nightmare. The installer never showed when he said. He left his "assistant" to do most of the work by himself. He substituted poor quality materials for our perfectedly good original parts. They never cleaned up after themselves, leaving our lanai in a state of mid-repair for months, throughout the beautiful fall, with screening hanging half on/off or lying around with his tools, trash etc. Many many calls to Russ the manager were fruitless. He mostly didn't believe us or out-right lied to try to appease us(saying the installer was his "top man", when his crew said he was a recent, untested, hire. Finally when this guy told Russ the job was finished, Bishops sent us a bill for the balance. However he left stuff and materials, telling us he'd be back to finish "on Saturday". We called to find out what happened to him and Russ tells us he finished the job! So finally, to get paid, Russ came out to look at what we were talking about. He then sent one guy to fix all repairs, most of which we had to point out. Well, Russ found one very glaring error but not much more beyond his nose. He sent out one guy who wasn't given nearly enough time nor all equipment he'd need to fix everything! More just kept showing up, especially as we became better educated in finding errors. Yes, he replaced some screws where we pointed out still old rusty ones, but we couldn't get to all of them, nor were they easy for us to recognize. In mid-October, after their third visit with 3 workers, the job finally seemed to be completed pretty well, as far as we could tell. By this time, in mid-October, we sure weren't picky. We just wanted it done, and they were promptly paid the balance. |Later we were telling our neighbor about their terrible service. He said we should be careful, that someone told him that, as a short cut, often these companies won't attach the roof screening, but will simply lay each long section of screening over the frame, attaching it only at the outer edges. We know ours was installed originally correctly,in sections, because we have pictures from past section repairs and also by pictures from roofers who quoted repairs to our roof. Now the last time the crew came to work on finishing this job, the workers and everyone apologized and told us that the worker they hired for our job and for another woman's pool cage, was in jail for stealing parts and equipment from Bishops! So now wouldn't you think Bishops would do all they could to make sure our job was finished properly and completely, so that we weren't "robbed" as well, by their vouched-for employee? Pretty bad for their reputation, plus I believe they claim they're licenced, as well. |But, months later we asked the roofers how it looked. They said the screening was laid over in one piece. So then our son suggested we take an extended pool net to test if the screen edges along the frames seemed taught. They weren't. We also compared this to our neighbors screening whose house and cage were built the same time as ours. There was a big difference, where ours felt loose, theirs was tight. |When we called to talk to Bishops owner, they still put us through to Russ. He told us that all work was guaranteed for a year, but that the contract was to replace our screening as it had originally been installed, which was how they did. Nevertheless they would still come back to attach it propperly, in-sections. Again he took the occasion either to outright lie to us or he was vouching again for his installer who was now in jail? |Bottom line, after much ado, inspections, and weather delays, the job was completed, as well as we can reasonably tell, almost 7 months after our deposit and 3 months after it had been paid for. We hope there are no more problems. |We do NOT recommend Bishops Aluminum for any work ever! Beware, they do not deal in good faith.

screen repair, swimming pools
+ 0 moreWonderful work. I wanted a screen enclosure that did not take away the look & style of my porch & balcony. They took 2 days to build a screen enclosure on the inside which did not change any of the look, but sealed everything in perfectly. In the pool area I wanted privacy so I picked a non-transparent tropical island beach scene to run part of the side & along the entire back of the cage. The rest of the cage, they installed 20/20 screen & ran super screen along the bottom so my 2 dogs could not damage it. We had some problems with the scenic screen. It was defective because the picture would just rub off & started to run off from the sun & rain. The manufacturer of the senic screen gave us a very hard time trying to replace it. But, Chaz, the person in charge of my project, was persistent, working hard, taking pictures multiple times to show that it was defective. Calling & having a rep come down to see for themselves. His hard work paid off. They finally replace the screen. I now have a beautiful private island get away which everyone raves about.

+ -1 moreI was looking for a company to install a fence. I called Bishops Aluminum because another contractor who we think a great deal of had recommended them. We had trouble setting up the appointment, the sales rep, Chaz, canceled last minute and rescheduled a couple of times after that. When we did have our appointment he failed to even bring the measuring tools he needed. He left it in our hands for us to give him the plot plan for him to do his estimate. It took me a couple of months for me to get the plot plan. We did our own measuring and I sent Chaz detailed footage, total gates and fencing that we wanted to install through email. A couple of days had passed and I didn’t hear from him so I called and left him a message stating that I sent him the information. Chaz responded with an e-mail that “Will do. Get me about 4 days to complete bid.” I waited seven then emailed him again. And asked him “Hi Chaz, Are you done with that quote yet?” His reply, “No, not yet. I will email soon as it is complete.” My reply: “Hi Chaz, Do you know how long before you will be done? First you asked to give you 4 days, it has been 7 days. I would really like to make a decision one way or another with your quote in front of us.” His reply, "We are maxed out right now. We really do not have the time to put the proper attention to your project. Please make a decision with the other companies that have bid the work. Thank you, Chaz Wustin Bishop’s Aluminum 321-0343 laaf92@verizon.net" We happen to have several projects happening here with fencing, landscaping and interior work and needed to get all of our estimates in from the contractors so that we could budget and pull the full plan of work together into a schedule. I will say that it is clear that Bishops has a sales person that is losing business for them time and time again, the owners should know how he is treating prospective customers and turning them away.
Description of Work: Finally show up for the appointment.

Description of Work: I contacted this company to get a quote for a new pool cage. We set up an appointment and the sales rep did not show up. Approximately an hour later I called him and he said, "So sorry, I got caught up with busy work. Can I just come over now?". My schedule was tight so I said I'd rather reschedule. On the date of the new appointment he did not show up. When I called him he said he got "caught up" and once again he offered to come over but I declined.
