I called Florida Shutter Factory to get a quote on accordion shutters and, as promised, Mark arrived at my home and promptly gave me his price for the job, which was better than any other quote I had received. Every other company always gives 6-8 weeks before they can complete the job. Mark and his crew were out at my house in 3 days and completed the job.Very happy with his work, professionalism, and Jean's invaluable help. Thank you!
