We took direct hits of 20 Ft waves slamming the house for hours during the extra high tide. Not a single drop of water entered our house. Seriously, not a drop. We saw our immediate neighbors' homes brutalized by Long Island Sound. The shutters 100% did a superior job. We decided to complete the protection of the house by installing shutters on the remaining windows and doors. Mark came out to measure promptly and within a short time, he installed them. In our extensive years as multiple home owners, we have seen our share of inferior craftsmen. Mark gives homeowners hope. Yes, that perfect installer does ,indeed, exist. He is meticulous, immaculate and hard working. Best of all, he is a problem solver. He thinks. He creates perfect solutions to those annoying problems that always seem to present themselves on the job. All that and he comes with an engaging personality and style. The shutters are fantastic and you will not find a more honest and skilled person than Mark Legenos to measure and install them.

They didn't finish the first job. They say they will resolve and call back. They don't. They took money for another job they promised to start and finish the other job. They just took money and then went absolutely quiet. Made false promises. Scammed me out of more money then job was contracted. This will not go unpunished. I will do whatever is necessary to inflict maximum reputational harm which is deserved. And pursue for legal damages. No licensed plumbers or electricians. The whole place needs to be redone. It will be at his costs. This will be out of business anyway. No business can survive the way he runs this mess. He simply books the job and subs out to contractor with no oversight. He makes things worse for himself and homeowner. He does not show up on sight. If you pick him you are basically the GC of people he has sub contracted to and the communications are terrible with no accountability. Subs blame him and always fixing thing that should have been correct the first time. I am pissed. I will do whatever is necessary to make sure no one else has these problems. It is simply his own self inflicted damage. He says people owe him money and for you to get the job done he needs more money even when he is paid in full for the job. Once you pay him more. He disappears. It's a scam. I don't know how these people live with themselves. If they can't handle the job or live up to the contract do they really have to steal from customers mid job. It's sad. But I hope people learn from me. Also see his BBB ratings as F. And the same complaints from other customers. Taking money and then ignoring you as if people would just give him money for no work or shotty work and go away.

After several emails and phone conversations, they now tell me they need to replace cross bar attached to my house,($400), and the labor is 6-8 hours or $1850, about a third of what I paid for it only 2 years ago!! Sent them an email communicating my displeasure, and never heard back. Either the install wasn't done correctly, or it wasn't designed to work reliably. Would not recommend them.
