He came recommended by someone I know and like the other reviews was hard to chase down. I called and asked for a quote and never heard back. The second call resulted in him responding saying he would do the quote on a specific day and call me back. It's been a week and I have t heard from him. I called his office again and left a message. If I have to chase him to give him my business I bet I'd have to do the same with him doing the work.... disappointed in the follow through and customer service for sure!

J.L. Dufour had been recommended to me by a neighbour who'd had a good experience with them. Jules, I was told, would provide personal treatment.

I hadn't heard back after a week. I called again, mentioned the earlier message, more particulars were taken and more sincere promise of a return call was given. Still no response. I called

I have never received a response. I also wonder why Dufour spends money on booths and radio ads if they are not interested in prospective customers?

I would love to give these guys a positive review. I mean they came recommended by someone whose opinion I trust. The thing is, after a month of trying to get them to even return a call to come and give me a quote, I have given up. I tried to leave a note on the 'request a quote' web page...nada. I called at different times of the day and days of the week...oh sure, you can speak to a lovely lady who will take your particulars but when challenged with 'why are you taking messages and no one gets back to me?'....well honey, we are just the answering service. Sigh. So I
