Response from J & J Siding And Window Sales Inc
We thank our client for this review. As a small family owned and operated business, we are very concerned about maintaining our reputation for excellence and we know that consistently providing homeowners with outstanding experiences is the key to achieving that. Thus, as soon as we saw this review, we pulled our records from last year to see what may have warranted the less than stellar grade. Our notes indicate that completing this project as quickly as possible was a priority from the very start, and given the poor marks for punctuality and responsiveness, that was clearly the largest source of dissatisfaction on this project. To clarify what happened, let me provide a brief timeline of the project: J & J received our client's approval for this project on Friday, May 31st. The contract provided an estimated installation date of 5-6 weeks after getting approval from the St. Louis County SAVES loan program, through which this project was being financed. It's important to note that the client specified that the project was contingent upon receiving that financing. Due to the fact that the home is considered to be in a historic neighborhood, St. Louis County SAVES not only had to go through their own approval process, but they had to have the project reviewed by the State Historic Preservation Office. We were emailed by St. Louis County SAVES on Monday, July 8th that those processes were now completed and that "you are now authorized to proceed with your scope of work." J & J then did proceed with the scope of work. To complete the project as soon as possible, J & J made initial trips to the home on Wednesday, July 24th and Friday, August 4th to complete what work we could at those times. The project was wrapped up on Tuesday, August 6th, just over 4 weeks after getting approval from the SAVES program and well within the 5-6 week estimate initially provided. We wish that we could have successfully completed this project more quickly than we did and, on behalf of my family and myself, I sincerely apologize for any miscommunication on our part that led to the client's dissatisfaction. We'll certainly keep this feedback in mind as we work to further improve the experience that we provide to our clients. I also want to note that since completing the project, we've not received a single report of any issues with our workmanship or the materials installed on this project. If any such problems exist, we encourage our client to contact us. We would certainly address them as well as do anything else that we could to restore our client's confidence in us. Sincerely, Jake Parker Manager
