    I thought, like everyone else, that Sonshine was the best. I met Amos, the elder (now passed) Borntreger and he was kind and communicative. I found him to be an honorable man. I am not sure what happened since his passing. I missed one year, not even a full year mind you - more like 9 months, of inspection - circumstances like hospitalization and then a massive hurricane kept that from happening - and then 6 months of no return calls from Sonshine. Now, they canceled my 17.5-year warranty because I missed it. NO discussion, no path back, nothing. I find it disgusting, given the circumstances of last year (none of which the woman on the phone cared to hear) did nothing. I am not looking for freebies, just to be back on track - I would have paid them for two years of inspections even though I am not due yet for the second. Nothing. Dishonorable. I am more disgusted that I recommended them to friends.

    Mr. V, you have been a 5 star-happy Sonshine customer since 2014 and more than half of that time as a satisfied customer has been since Amos passed. The 17.5 year workmanship warranty, inclusive of its terms and conditions, was created by Amos himself. He trained and mentored us and we carry on the level of excellence and customer service you experienced with him in your kitchen nine years ago.
    No one was prepared for the catastrophic devastation caused by Hurricane Ian, including area roofers. Please remember that in 2020, due to Covid-19, we gave grace to all of our customers including you in regards to completing the inspection.  Your inspection was done 7 months past its due date. We offered grace again this year to our customers that had annual inspections due October - December 2022 (after Hurricane Ian.)  Your warranty was not affected by the service delays Ian created as you are suggesting. It had lapsed June 1, 2022, several months prior to the hurricane when the required inspection was not scheduled in May when it was due. One of the things that makes Sonshine so great is that we keep our word and stick to what we agree to.  We have done that and you've been happy until now - when you didn't stick to your part of the warranty requirements. We are sad to see that such a long and good relationship is now reduced to a negative commentary and 1 star rating.
