MERIT CONSTRUCTION

Excellent service from start to finish. Beautiful finished product.

They are fine. They are good. Right now it's been free since they took off what was on the roof a year before, so they have just been taking care of that ever since. I can't remember what we paid, but I think it was a fair price. I gave them a "B" for quality since we are still having problems. I usually have to reach out to them. They show up on time. The last guy that they sent out, he didn't call before he showed up or didn't even knock on the door and the next thing I know I see a ladder out front of the house and someone was up on the roof. So that was kind of a little weird, but I confronted the guy and he told me who he was and everything. That's the only weird thing.

I went away that morning, and when I came home in the afternoon about 4:00 they were gone. The awnings were beautiful, sturdy, and impeccably installed. I also was happy about the cost, compared to my other bid; I originally had intended to get three bids, but after talking to the estimator at length, I was convinced that I wanted them to do the work. Everything they promised was fulfilled, and I am completely satisfied. In the future I will use them for any and all work that they perform, if their prices stay just as reasonable as they are now. I knew the job would be done right, because the two men that came to my house were God fearing men.

Everything with them was perfect. If anyone needs any kind of construction work around their house and they want it done neatly, they're perfect. They didn't leave anything laying around or anything. I've gotten compliments on my awning from people I didn't even know. They came and did it and he was very nice. The man who did the work was nice. They're very professional. I was very lucky to have them.

Got a bad referral from a friend. Merit Corp did not disclose it sub contracts all the work. I got the bill $924 from the sub contractor in error. Merit Corp mark up was a whopping 40% or about $608 over their cost. All they did was send a salesman and broker the sale. I paid a thousand up front on 7/2/08 for expedited completion. Dumb me. The salesman said to take off old was two days before install of new. Old was off 7 days. Called third day to find out when coming only to be told they hadn't even ordered the fabric yet. Had problems with the argumentative salesman that said he didn't promise what he did promise. Awning work is inferior and unlike my last awning which lasted over 10 years in all weather, this will last a few a best. Live and Learn. These guys are hustlers. They lie and say they do the actual work, which they don't. Way overcharged and unhappy. Greedy people. Geez.
