Report
After many years of using and recommending berges awning co our awning started to leak. It was so bad we were unable to sit under it with any amount of rain and our furniture was always wet. We left atleast 5 messages and spoke to Nate in more than one occasion. We also forwarded many pictures to them. No one returns our calls or has stopped by. I will definitely nit be referring anyone to them snd we now have to start with a new awning company. We are beyond disappointed. Ilene Folbaum

Nate was so accommodating to let us know that whenever we were ready to move forward and

I was very upset because of the customer service (or lack there of) and installation delays, and my frustration was only exacerbated by the blas and unsympathetic response of the seemingly more senior member of a duo sent to set my hardware. That said, I have no complaints about the quality of the final product and ultimate installation. Nate had attempted to reach out to me after my complaint, and unfortunately I have been traveling throughout the summer and have not responded. I understand that there

Bought new awnings this year for my home in OCNJ and the team at Berges was outstanding. It's a family business and their attention to detail, and customer service is excellent. Check them out, you won't be disappointed!

Nate and his crew did a Fam thin installing 2 motorized awnings for our bar area. We actually ordered a third one the same day. 100% best company around to deal with. Fast, clean and professional. Ducktown Tavern approved!!!
