    Our driveway awning was damaged by a hurricane. We filed a claim with our insurance company and got several bids to have it replaced. We decided to go with this company. The salesman, *********************, had me sign an NOC even though Im not on the deed and told me that he thought that the City of ****** wouldnt even notice that Im not the owner and it would probably go under their radar. So I signed . I never signed a contract though. They never produced a contract just a paper with the bid was all we had. He said an engineer would be out to get proper measurements and drawings to submit for the permit. Weeks went by and we heard nothing. We called the office to try and get information and got no response about when things were starting and what was going on . Eventually we decided to use a different company since we felt things werent right. A little over a month after the salesman was at our home we called the office and my husband since he is on the deed spoke to a representative and told her we wanted to cancel the job. She got all the information and confirmed it was canceled. That was on 3/5/24. We then hired another company. No work had been completed by the company we let go. They did nothing. On 3/21/24 I received a call from this company saying they had pulled permits and were ready to start. We had fired them weeks prior yet they pulled permits 3 weeks after that. Now the company we hired cant get a permit because this company is playing games and trying to extort money out of us because they have this permit hostage when had let them go 3 weeks prior. I spoke to ***************************** , from AHC on 3/21/24 and he was rude and disrespectful and uncooperative. The call end with no resolution and I had a feeling that they were going to scam us. We called the new awning company we hired and the looked to see when the permit was pulled and thats how found out it was 3weeks after we told the we didnt want to use them. 3/22/24 this *************** now wants money from us.

    0 stars is more appropriate.This company is absolutely a scam company.We wanted to use them to replace our driveway awning,damaged by a hurricane. Going through our insurance company to fix the damaged awning. We got a quote from ********************* at this company and it was in the pocket with what our insurance company was offering. So we decided to go with this company. ********************* had me sign an NOC even though Im not the home owner. He told me that my husband should be signing this but he thought he could float it under the radar with the Citt of Bartow. Should have been my first red flag.. they dont follow protocol.After weeks of waiting and being kept in the dark we werent confident using this company so we called the office and cancelled the job they never started. ***** later on 3/21/24 I received a call after I had forgotten about this company since we had moved on and this scammer told me he had pulled permits to do the job. Seems illegal.We have spoken to a ***************************** from the company aim that same day 3/21/24 and he was a horror show. After seeing many reviews,I see his name brought up over and over. I guess hes the top scammer. Hes trying to extort money from us even though we did not use them and canceled on 3/5/24 and then they pulled permits on 3/21/24. Now he hold our repair hostage because hes trying to extort money from us and then h*** release the permit so the company we did hire can then get permits to do our job.This ***************************** should not work with the public . Hes an outright grifter and scammer. Do not call this company for any reason. They are scammers. Again, they have done nothing but come out and give us a quote . No work was done to our home. No plans were drawn up. They pulled permits weeks after we discontinued with them. Scam scam scam Buyer beware
