They did a nice job putting it up, we noticed near the downspout on seam was leaking. I called they said they would come out the following week never showed up. They called me after that said they would be out the following week again on Wednesday never showed up or called that day. then they called me again and samething we will be out next week never showed up or contacted us. Its been about 2 mnths since they put it up and 3 set appointments with them and no show and no calls very disappointing and frustrating after all i paid good money for this to get done completely. I should of went through someone else but to late they got my money. Would not recommend them and i figure now i will have to find someone else to complete the job

The provider scheduled and consultation with me to discuss pricing and options. He was punctual and showed up with a great outgoing disposition, which is a plus in my book. He was very knowledgeable, excellent listener, courteous, and honest about the quality of their product. The consultation took about 30 minutes, and he gave me a reasonable time frame as to when the job would be completed, expected time frame was 3 weeks. I expressed an urgency to have the awning installed ASAP, and to my surprise the awning was there and installed in little over a week or so. I would not hesitate to share my positive experience with this company with my family, friends, and neighbors.

No concerns to speak of except the removals and installations require prepayment 2-3 months in advance and frequently need reminder calls for installation (125.00 for each installation and removal). Awnings show no signs of fading or wear to date and would recommend them highly. They continue to serve us.

Pros: Estimator came out on time and was very knowledgeable. Cons: Estimate was not able to be made on site, instead I was told he would have to write it up and send me an email later that evening? After a week I called and sent an email to see if "they" were still interested in giving me an estimate? A day later I received an email with a quote. The quote was over $600 more then their leading competitor, and they did not have the material selection of their leading competitor. I never received any other follow up from them. My opinion is they are to busy or have to much business to deal with what they perceive as lower priced jobs ($3600). Their leading competitor "Carroll Awnings" gave me an estimate same day, over $600 less, better material selection, and consistently followed up and did a great job.

I bought these awnings from Hoffman years ago and when it got to a point I could no longer put them up or take them down, I hired Hoffman. Over the years they have not come on schedule, nor told me if there was a problem with the the awnings when they took them down, and one time broke a window pane. When two seams had to be re-sewn, they were sewn without tucking the material under so the threads can unravel. I was also charged for a complete re-stitching which I did not receive. Last year one of the pockets came apart on another awning and I was told it would cost a fortune to get it sewn, I told them to bring it back and I would take it someplace to get it fixed. That is when I learned I had been overcharged for the larger awnings earlier. So they did fix the pocket for free. However, I do not know if I was due a refund and never got the specific info. I called this morning because my zip code was supposed to have the take-down done a month ago and had to leave a message because Craig was off and no one else could answer when they would be taken down. With all this wind, it would have been nice to have them down timely so I would not have to worry about damage.

All my contacts were positive. On the first visit I was told about the company, shown samples, etc. There was a wide and varied selection to choose from. I asked all the questions I could rhink of and these were answered to my satisfaction. When I said I wanted the awnings the salesman took measurements and I selected the material and design I wanted.. He told me the price and I accepted it although I wondered if it was a little high. I was told it might take three or four weeks, but the installers came in about two weeks. During the interim I called the salesman with a question which he answered. He told me I could call at any time with questions. The installelrs came within the hours we had agreed upon, were polite and knowledgeable and worked well. They showed me how to retract the awnings when I wanted to. I am very pleased with the results and have received compliments on the awnings.

Their services have been very inconsistent even after they provided an awning that did not fit. Initially, despite telling the PR contact I did not want a patch job, the installers came back with the same awning with a two-inch patch long the entire length of our 24+ ft awning...completely unacceptable!!! After four attempts to correct the issue by providing pictures of the patch work and follow up telephone calls, we took steps to get our lawyers involved. My Husband and I went to the A. Hoffman Awning Company office, and spoke with Irma who took control of the situation and the work was finally completed as contracted. It was a botched job right from the beginning, and all the stress and poor customer satisfaction could have been avoided if the work had been done correctly in the first place. As a result of this and several other unsatisfactory put up-take down services, we chose not to do business with A. Hoffman Awning Co. going forward. 9/3/14 - Unexpectedly, I received a telephone call from Mrs. Donna Hoffman, owner of the company. I am pleased to say that she was VERY concerned about how we were treated as customers and has guaranteed 100% satisfaction on our future dealings with A. Hoffman Awning Company. As a result of Mrs. Hoffman's call, we will most certainly return as customers and have upgraded our original business ratings for her company on Angie's List.

This was the second time we used Hoffman. The first time they installed a retractable awning over our patio. They came out and were very professional and knoweldgeable. They were extremely consultative and listened to our needs and made suggestions. I the price was a bit high but in retrospect I ended up with a quality product that has not needed any maintenance. This time we decided we wanted an awning installed over a door for functional reasons to protect from weather but also to beautiy the house. Based on the consultation they recommended a fixed awning and helped us decide on coor choice. Very professional and easy to work with. i recommedn them highly.

The job went exactly as planned. The installers arrived within the time frame prescribed, giving us a call 30 minutes before they arrived.The frame went up without a glitch and fit perfectly. The installers were very professional They gave us operating instructions including proper use and care. The awning has exceeded our expectations and has given us a definite break from the sunny southern exposure on our deck.
Description of Work: A. Hoffman Awning installed a retractable awning over our deck. The awning included an electric retraction device and Sunbrella fabric. The approximate size was 16X12. We were able to select from a wide variety of fabric designs and colors. The motorized retraction is convenient and easy to use. We are most pleased with the product and service that we received. We would recommend Hoffman Awning to our family and friends.

The overall experience with dealing with the A. Hoffman Awning Co. was excellent!! From the moment the saleman, Peter Hammers, first arrived, I was treated with respect and above average professionalism. He sat down with me..and asked me what I wanted this awning to look like, details such as how many inches overhang over the porch..and why I would want a bit of an overhang..water coming into garden rather than porch. He then took very exacting measurements, expained in great detail as to the issues regarding proper pitch of awning..exactly where awning would be placed etc. The stone patio was a half moon shaped, and required quite a bit of measurement and planning to insure symetry of frame poles etc. Peter...is wonderful, as are all support people I have dealt with over the past few years. This awning turned out beautiful!!! He brought several books of fabric, and made the selection process easy. The awning was first made in 2010, It was recommended that I take it down during the winter, due to the size of the awning and the lower slope of the awning. He informed me that his Comany, Hoffman Awning, would service the removal, as well as the reinstallation of the awning..I did not remove it..and that was the year of the horrific snow storm. It was torn and the frame was bent. Even though the company was bombarded with calls, my call was taken quickly, and within 10 days, removed, and posted for Spring re hanging. I was told that I would recieve a call Mid March, and my awning would be re hung within days. I received a call early March...and my awning was re hung in April..it looks perfect!!! Customer support is excellent. Hoffman awning also installed another awning for us..at another location..effortless and quickly. I am getting ready to have a third awning installed for an investment property. I recommend them to anyone who puts customer satisfaction and service as their number one priority. Thank you to all of the wonderful people who have helped me!!! and especially to Peter Hammers who was so exacting and creative in the design of this unusual awning!
Description of Work: The A Hoffman Awning company designed a very out of the ordinary awning for me. The shape of my patio that I wanted to cover was a semi circle or half moon. The design required quite a bit of creativity and experience due to the lower slope roof, and the size..it was approximately 20 feet long. It was very important to have the proper support, and that the frame had symetry as well..The service both from the front end, meeting with a highly experienced saleman, and designer, Peter Hammers, as well as subsequent dealings with customer support personnel was highly professional and responsive. The awning turned out Perfectly!!!! I love it..and have received many compliments. The services A Hoffman Awning have performed include the design, and installation as well as subsequent repair due to snow damage. All aspects of the process have been A+++..

They came when they were not supposed to. We had our schedules miscommunicated. They were supposed to come by at 11:00 AM and I think they showed later. They took down the awning when we did not know they were coming by. We were trying to schedule payment around our work schedule. It ended up working out alright. He was a little more expensive than the person I am using for the work. He suggested I use the canvas material. He quoted a price around $500 more than three other companies I received estimates from.

Terrible; the salesman was flip and dismissive; there is a serious communication breakdown within the company. **** UPDATE 9/19/11**** I previously wrote a critical review of a very distressing service experience with A. Hoffman Awning. Two years have passed. A member of Angie's List was trying to decide between two providers for an awning job. Those folks chose A. Hoffman;s competitor. Mrs. Hoffman called them to find out why her husband's company did not get this business and the customer cited my critical review as being a pursuasive factor in reaching their decision. Mr. and Mrs. Hoffman called my home last Sunday, I believe it was. They had followed through and found and read the review. They asked me for further details, and asked if there was anything they might do, NOW, this long after the incident. I explained that the awning on my home came apart at one critical seam, and we were continuing to use the awning in that condition. Neighbors and passing dog walkers had asked about the damage. Still we kept it up as it was. One of the supervisors from A. Hoffman Awning arrived at my home this past Wednesday, introduced himself, examined the awning and announced it would be repaired or replaced by Friday. He apologized, told me of many changes within the company, tried to assure me of a return to an attitude and work product of quality and integrity. I choose to believe Gideon "Jun" Oberio , this particular supervisor. Please attach this addendum to the beginning of my prior critical review of this company. Thank you.
Description of Work: I purchased an awning cover and awning frame from a member of the Hoffman family 7 years ago. It was time for a replacement cover. I called, was told my previous specs would be reviewed, was given the name of one of the salesman. Was told he would be contacting me. When he called, he quoted a price at the end of our conversation. About 3 weeks went by, I called the company, said I was ready to order my awning. Receptionist said I had to wait for that same salesperson to get back to me, I couldn't speak to anyone else about the specs of my order. When Darin finally returned my call, I reviewed my specs for the order, told him I had all details written down, would include a check for approximately a third of the final cost, and would leave this in an envelope for him when he finally came to measure. Darin informed me no one was able to find the specs of my previous order with their company, although I was assured all specs were kept for all jobs. He said the awning could be completed in as little time as a week. A month goes by. I call the company, asking about the status of my order. Receptionist tells me only Darin can speak to me; I must call him on his cell. The return call comes from the receptionist, however, quoting a final price over $100.00 higher, and stating a takedown date for the current cover, and a tentative installation date for the new one for two days later. I ask why installation can't occur same day, since the measurements had been taken a month ago, and also why the price was quite different. Receptionist says she doesn't know, that's all she was told to tell me. I go back to the business' website and find Darin's business email, and lay out my concerns. When he calls me back, he informs me that, while the price for the awning was going to be higher than originally discussed, it wasn't as high as the women in the office had quoted, He said he 'guessed' they just multiplied my check amount by 3 and quoted that final price back to me. He said that since I appeared to be so unhappy with things, he could take the price back down to that originally quoted, but that the awning would still need to be made, since the measurements he had taken on the day, a month prior, were not acceptable to the staff in the factory. They could not begin work until they had the original in hand. I asked why he had then waited for me to initiate the completion of this business transaction, when he had held my money for a month. His tone was condescending, he refused to apologize for any part, and again repeated the statement placing blame on the women in the office. I asked why I hadn't received a receipt and written work up of the job, and he said yes, normally he did do that. I had to instruct this person to drop one in the mail to me immediately. Incredibly enough, when the 'gentleman' came to take the awning down, he was in a argumentative and discourteous state of mind.............what has happened to this company?!!!!!!!!!!

The sales representative, Thomas, came to my home on May 8. He answered all my questions (I had done some on-line research beforehand), measured both windows and helped me choose the Sunbrella fabric for the awning. He held the swatches up against my brick house, so I could see which colors worked well, and which to avoid. The work was performed about a month later. I was pleased with the awnings, but noticed that on one awning, one galvanized steel support was fixed to the window frame at a height about two inches different than the other support. It was slight, but enough that I noticed the crooked awning from the street. On the other window, the installers did not install the cleat for the awning cord; rather, they wrapped the cord around an iron shutter dog, which I couldn't reach. I called Darin at A. Hoffman, he apologized and the installers came a day or two later to correct both issues. A few days later I had to call Darin again to tell him that on one of the windows, when I started to retract the awning, the cord came loose from the horizontal steel bar, and it was not possible for me to re-attach it. Darin responded quickly, sending the installer/s again the next day or two days later, and the cord was re-attached to the frame. I think the installer/s were either working too quickly, or had a lot of jobs to do and thus were a bit inattentive to workmanship. The problem is that they had to return twice to remedy two fairly small things, and that of course costs them more time and money. I'm very pleased to have the awnings. They are sewn and constructed exactly as specified in the sales contract. They block the strong afternoon sun and make the back of my rowhouse more pleasing, both from the outside and from inside. I assigned a "C" grade for quality of work because of the mistakes in installation.
Description of Work: Installed two acrylic fabric pull-up awnings on rear 2nd floor windows of my home.
