    Screwed directly into drywall.

    Let me start off by saying that this is the first negative review I've left a company and I didn't leave this review without giving this some thought. I bought a townhouse recently that was built in 2017. Jansen Shutters designed, built, and installed the handrails on my multistory townhouse. When I bought it a few months ago, I discovered that the handrails were pulling out of the wall. About half of the anchor points of the handrails were only installed into drywall, not stud or blocking. The technician that originally installed them did not even use wall anchors to secure the handrail into the drywall. The screws were put directly into drywall with nothing else holding the handrail to the wall. That fact is unbelievable, as even towel hooks and other small fixtures are secured using wall anchors. This is obviously both dangerous and not up to code. When I reached out to Jansen about my issue, they said my warranty was expired (I just bought the house a few months ago from the original owner so I wasn't aware of a warranty), and that they would need to charge me $175 an hour to have a technician fix the problem. I agreed to the rate, but felt they should have stood behind their product and poor installation and offered to fix it for free (or at a more reasonable rate). The technician was very nice, but clearly young and inexperienced. Certainly not worth 175$ an hour. He was supposed to show up between 10am-1pm and didn't arrive until 2:40pm. Jansen did not even give me a heads up that he would be late. I had to ask you twice what his ETA was. The technician partially fixed the problem by placing plastic anchors into the drywall. This is a temporary fix and Jansen well knows that. My handrail is already pulling out again and need to be secured to studs. I understand that this problem could be 100% Jansen's fault, or could have also been the fault of the builder of my townhouse if they didn't put studs or blocking where Jansen needed it when the house was built. However, even if that's the case, it doesn't excuse Jansen installing a handrail directly into drywall, without even using wall anchors. I paid the invoice for the inexperienced technician (at $175 / hour) because I agreed to do so, but I'm really disappointed. Here's a picture of one of the anchors already pulling out of the drywall again, a day after their technician put the plastic anchors in. You can see the anchors their technician tried putting into the drywall to hold the railings. I'm not sure what my next steps are to get this issue resolved and I reached out to Jansen explaining my concerns and disappointment that I've expressed in this review, but they did not respond to me. I asked them to put me in contact with an experienced technicians to discuss what needs to be done to make this railing safe and sturdy but they have not responded. Attached is one photo showing the handrail pulling out after they put plastic anchors it and several photos of the original issue.

    Seamless from start to finish. They were very easy to work with. My shutters were done and installed several weeks early

    "Excellent" is hardly enough to describe how our entire window and door replacement process went!…read more It began with a visit from Rob, the highly knowledgeable sales rep. He gave a thorough and comprehensive explanation of every aspect of the window, sliding door, and front door replacement. Our first estimate did not include replacement of three trapezoidal windows and one rectangular window above the front door. Once we realized that these existing windows were not impact-resistant, I requested that they be added to the job. Rob came and did extensive measurements, then he returned again with an even more experienced expert to confirm everything. The preliminary work must have been spot on, because these trouble-windows went in with little difficulty. Except for the large section of termite-damaged wood that the installer uncovered and, of course, completely removed and replaced. Given the special geometric and installation requirements, the finished product is incredible. The installation crew was technically expert. In addition, each one had a real concern for the extensive interior memorabilia throughout the home that we were unable to relocate before the work. Everything was covered and protected from both dust and inadvertent contact. This gave us the confidence not to worry about damage, and of course there was none. The final process involved filling holes in the stucco made by the removal of ancient sliding shutters, installing new trim around the three trapezoidal windows, and touch-up painting, including the new front door. Once again, extreme care was given to protecting the inside of the house near the door and the exterior screened entrance. The work was neat and thorough, and the final cleanup was total and complete I can't recommend Armored Dade highly enough. In my relatively brief stay in Florida, I of course have not avoided the countless TV commercials for window replacement: 0% off; buy 1 get 1; get 4; etc. Rob made no mention of any "deals" at his initial visit because with a top-quality product installed by a top-quality firm, there is no need for gimmicks.

    I got a very nice call from the owner, Josh, and we clarified our situation. He went the extra mile…read moreto make sure that I was satisfied with their response. Therefore I retract my previous review.
