We are sorry to hear this is how you are feeling and hope
that you do understand this is never our intention. I see there are several
concerns so I would like to address each one individually just to make sure we
are not leaving anything out.
Starting
off with your initial sales appointment and the concern regarding
personal life discussions prior to the sales pitch. We
apologize for any frustration here. Mel is one of our most beloved sales
associates who prides himself on trying to develop a personal rapport with
each of his customers. We genuinely believe this was his intention in his
approach and apologize if that was taken in any other context.
For the concerns regarding the initial installation and the team
the came to your home. During install our operations manager did
receive a phone call from you shortly after the team arrived where you
stated that you were displeased with the nationality of the individuals
sent to your home and stated you had concerns regarding the language
barrier. As a company Renewal prides itself on employing people from all
different walks of life. While this specific team does have several
members who are not fully fluent in English, there was a lead installer
present who is fluent and introduced himself as the point of contact
during this process . He assigns directives to his team members during the
installation, so we feel that bridges any possible gap in communications
between the team and the customer. We are sorry if you feel differently on
this matter but we do feel that each of the team members sent to your home is
a skilled professional completely capable of meeting the highest of
industry standards. I also see in the notes that our installation
manager visited the jobsite to oversee progress and felt the job was
moving forward in a timely progression with no concerns to report when he
returned to the office.
Damage to dryer vent,
crossbars on the outdoor light, and window that needed adjustments. Unfortunately, in a
construction industry, sometimes things like this do happen. We of course
never have the intention of anything being damaged or adjustments needing
made, but if this is the case will always provide a remedy to that
situation. Once the install was completed and we were made aware of the
dryer vent and crossbar concern it was repaired quickly. Looking thru your
service notes, I do not see a note of a “window being put in wrong”, but I
see a service ticket that was opened after the install due to some
concerns regarding some bowed or damaged screens. This was not a result of
installation per say, but more of an issue with some damage that was
sustained during order transport as the screens are somewhat delicate.
This type of situation would be what we would consider a “warranty
service” and was submitted as such. We do always stand behind our product
and I show that we delivered an installed the 3 new screens you had
requested. Since that installation we are aware you have spoken with several
members of the office and stated you are displeased with the replacement.
At your request, the installed screens have been reviewed several times by
multiple company members and are within company standards and
speculations. As the currently installed product meets that standard of
what was agreed upon in the contract, we would not be able to offer any
additional remedies for this concern.
Office Staff members conduct: We do believe that our team was fully transparent throughout your installation and service journeys. We feel we have done our best to maintain a professional discourse throughout this process as well. We are sorry you have been displeased and have genuinely tried to rectify things to the best of our abilities. On this point, I do think it is relevant to mention that our office staff had multiple conversations with you where they maintained a professional demeanor despite your use of foul language. Our service manager did have an in person meeting with you in our showroom where several staff members witnessed your use of foul language towards her, but she still maintained a respectful demeanor with you. Currently, we feel that regardless of how professional we have tried to be, that is being overshadowed due us not being able to provide you the answer you had hoped for.
We again are sorry to hear that you feel any other way about this situation as our intention is always to do anything we can within reason to end things on a better note. We do believe that we have fulfilled any and all contractual obligations and that the installation and products you have received are of great quality and standards.
