It happens that ssmf inc took $1175.00 dollars deposit on 6/20/2006 to install my shutters and never delivered. And now the general contractor is saying it is not his fault.

On January 13th I met with the sales rep Paul Wexler and ordered 10 replacement windows 2 of which were custom.

After researching and calling several hurricane shutters companies which were loaded with orders (in the post-Katrina Florida) and giving us 2 to 9 months waiting period for installation of hurricane shutters, we were finally relieved to find a company that apparently was big enough to manufacture their own shutters and deliver them in until 6 weeks after...
