Read Our Customer Testimonials
What do our clients say about their experiences with our team? Sample a few reviews below:
- “Totally professional people from the salesman, to Mr. Carroll and especially the installers Bill and Ryan. They were polite, respectful of my property and most importantly skilled at their craft. The awning was installed by these gentlemen and it looks beautiful. Lest I forget the mention of a quite competent woman whose name is Melissa. She answers the phone and does a multitude of administrative and managerial tasks. Melissa is an absolute pleasure to work with. She is helpful, kind and fun to speak with. I recommend Carroll wholeheartedly.” – Philip L.
- “Doug was fantastic to work with, super responsive and knowledgeable about the different products available. He also helped us out with our remote that we damaged by user error and we appreciated the extra time he dedicated to that. Great experience!” – Jordan L.
- “They did a great job replacing our awnings, Doug Robinson, explained the process out upfront, start to finish and it all went according to plan. Overall great company to work with, Doug, the install crew, PM’s and folks in the office all very responsive and the project went just as they promised. This is our second time working with Carroll, I would recommend them for any Awning work, if you are in my area (Rockville) give Doug a call.” – Patrick G.
