When he charged me for all that "labor", I called and asked why. Scott got indignant and rude. Even though I paid the bill, when I called on future dates for service he screened his calls and wouldn't respond to messages for service. Not a great business model. I won't call on him again.

Absolutely horrible company to deal with. They advertise many different services, but sub out the…read morework to other companies (because they have no marine skills other than cleaning) without communicating this and take no ownership of the problems that arise from them not being involved in the work. Horrible communication skills and acted like I was the enemy for contacting them after the work completed was on the verge of being comical. So many great companies in the area and easy to avoid this one and I would suggest doing so! Update: based on response from John Park who chose to defame me versus addressing the basic deceptive business practice of subcontracting without communicating this and choosing a substandard resource, I feel compelled to add this. Yes, I'm from Annapolis Maryland and thus, I know what a good sail loft / canvas shop, and marine service vendors in general looks and acts like. Apparently so does the largest marina in Charleston where I was staying and later was told Swift was not allowed to do any work there. My fault for not asking them first and likely why Swift would not come down to the boat to look at the job and made me bring the canvas in and would not come to the Marina to look at the problems the subcontractor caused. As to the inflammatory response, I engaged them in mid January and informed them I was leaving in the first week of April or so. Plenty of time to do some minor repairs assuming they did not to have make good on the horrible work such as using large white plastic patches on a tan sunbrella canvas and removing all the attachment hardware and putting any it back on and replacing Velco with strips of the same side making it useless. Added a couple pictures here. At no time did I ever bring up the race of the subcontractor. I simply pointed out that I'd never seen a canvas shop or sail loft in such deplorable and disorganized conditions with customer jobs just thrown about including mine with the Strataglass on the dirty cement floor (now causing me to replace the dodger as it's basically destroyed). It's odd that John Park would equate this statement with something about Hispanics? Who is the racist? Luckily, I was able to connect with Waterland Canvas who was recommended by the Charleston Marina manager to fix the bad work done enough, after they had a good laugh at the work done by Swift's subcontractor, to get me back home on my offshore voyage. Lesson learned when traveling is to ask the locals and the Marina managers. All my grief and expenses could have been easily avoided and the reason I took the time to post this... to warn others.
