BBB Accreditation

On 4/19/2012 the business's accreditation from BBB was revoked.

The revocation was due to violation of BBB Accreditation Standards:

1D. Be free of an unsatisfactory rating and maintain at least a B rating at the accrediting BBB and the BBB where it is headquartered, if different.

6A. Promptly respond to all complaints forwarded by BBB by:

  1. Resolving the complaint directly with the complainant and notifying BBB, or
  2. Providing BBB with a response that BBB determines:
    • is professional,
    • addresses all of the issues raised by the complainant,
    • includes appropriate evidence and documents supporting the business' position, and
    • explains why any relief sought by the complainant cannot or should not be granted.

8A. Avoid involvement, by the business or its principals, in activities that reflect unfavorably on, or otherwise adversely affect the public image of BBB or its accredited businesses.

This business is not BBB accredited.

Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation.

To be accredited by BBB, a business must apply for accreditation and BBB must determine that the business meets BBB accreditation standards, which include a commitment to make a good faith effort to resolve any consumer complaints. BBB Accredited Businesses must pay a fee for accreditation review/monitoring and for support of BBB services to the public.

On April 19, 2012 this business's accreditation in the BBB was revoked by BBB's Accreditation Committee of the BBB's Board of Directors due to its failure to adhere to the BBB requirements, to promptly respond to and resolve all complaints, maintain at least a B rating at the accrediting BBB and maintain a level of financial responsibility which is not of such a nature as to unfavorably affect public opinion of the BBB.

Industry Tips

The following general information is provided after all reports on companies in the home improvement industry. The Cleveland BBB routinely recommends that you check out any firm you are considering for home improvement work. All contracts should be in writing and contain the name, address and phone number of the company, complete disclosure of the cost of materials and labor, all guarantees and any verbal promises made by the company representative. Make sure you receive a copy of the contract. Checks should be made payable to the company, not an individual. You should also understand that some, but not all, contracts may be cancelled within a 3 day period. You may also wish to contact the building department at your local city hall to determine if the firm is licensed and/or registered to do work in your community. Require the company to obtain any necessary building permits. Finally, the BBB recommends that you not sign a completion statement unless you are satisfied with the job.
