Erie Construction - No Respect for Women
Getting an Estmiate for the Roof, and Siding
Review by babymonster613 on 2012-10-18
Rating: 
ROCHESTER, NEW YORK -- Door to door guy came, made appt, they had to cancel because their roofing contractor was unavailable, so we had to make a new appt. Was told on the phone by a sales girl, that she couldn't make the appt, unless my husband was home for this free quote. Responded by saying you got lucky the first time, for the quote why does he need to be here? No answer from her. Then I just got a call back from a sales representative told him I don't want anything from them because of the way I was treated and that it wasn't the 1800 hundreds anymore and women know a thing or two about home improvements, so he hangs up on me, no thanks, have a good day nothing, what a joke this company is.

I've had a few door to door salespeople come to my house before and they generally want to talk to both the husband and wife. So I couldn't have a person come to pitch something without my wife being there and vise versa.

Its because they want you to sign up for the work right away before you have time to think about it or get other estimates. Usually, if both people aren't there, the other person isn't going to sign a deal for a big project. They know that, so they want both of you there. Most construction companies work like this.

I interpret this much differently - not disrespect for you as a woman, but wanting you both present so you can commit to the job.
