I had an appointment scheduled for today between 2 & 4. They never showed up, never called to tell me they weren't coming. Never gave any sort of updates. I wasted my entire afternoon waiting and calling. I called them twice. First time said they'd be here by 530. Never showed never called. Second time said they don't know what to tell me. Then changed the date and time for installation 4 days later and my husband and I both work. This is garbage customer service. Absolutely ridiculous. 0/10 would NOT recommend.
