Policy
towards customers
We
believe in sincerity and honesty in dealing with our customers. We do not
use scare tactics or high pressure sales to convince homeowners to have unnecessary
work performed on their homes.
We
thrive to provide security to our customers with affordable price. Unlike
others, we provide an extremely competitive bid
on our first bidding
since we believe in treating customers with honesty and respect. We will beat
any legitimate bid.
Others
may ask: How are we able to provide services at such an affordable
price?
Answer: 1)
We perform the work ourselves (no sub-contractors). 2) We
do not employ salesmen to solicit work. 3) We buy our material
in bulk from local suppliers. 4) We are a sole
proprietorship. Our overhead is extremely low so we can pass along the
savings to our customers.
Materials
All
materials we used in retrofitting meet the requirements specified by the City of
Los Angeles and the local municipality. Specifically, we
use
connectors to secure the house to the foundation.
