    On 8/15/23 a hailstorm hit our neighborhood. A neighbor had called Skylight Specialists to come out that evening. A young man was talking to our neighbor and we joined them and we invited the estimator to give us an estimate on our roof. He went up the roof and said a couple of skylights were damaged. Would we like plastic put on them for now? My wife said sure, not understanding but he never disclosed that this would involve a charge. No agreeement or price was mentioned. He hastily duct taped a couple of pieces of plastic on, which by the way have since blown off. We have been receiving bills for $500 for the ***** visqueen taping. We called the manager at Skylight Specialists and disputed the outrageous billing, and asked for proof of an agreement as referenced on the bill. She could not produce any agreement. We have not signed, nor agreed to any work from Skylight Specialists and don't believe we owe any money for this. We would never have agreed to this outrageous price, either. We also never received an estimate. The whole thing felt like a homeowner being taken advantage of by an unethical business scam.

    Dear **************,

    I apologize that you were unclear that there was a charge for the emergency covers. Although we did investigate this matter with ************** who seemed certain he had informed you that the emergency covers did have a fee, we understand that misunderstandings happen. Yours was an on the spot service, as you mentioned, and when calls are made for emergency covers through our offices all fees and a description of the process used and materials included are disclosed before anyone is sent to the customers home, so there are no surprises. We have been in business for over 40 years and our community and our customers are vital to us. As requested I have waived your invoice. Thank you for your time.
