When Awning Makers Cut Corners, Consumers Pay the Price - Here’s How Not to be Victimized

Rip-off artists in the awning business have many tricks to separate consumers from their hard-earned money. Don Araiza, president of Cerritos, Calif.,-based Eide Industries, a reputable firm that engineers and installs custom awnings (http://www.eideindustries.com), describes several common scams and offers tips for steering clear of shady deals.

Cerritos, Calif. (PRWEB) February 3, 2009 — Consumers anxious to help the environment are exploring many ways to conserve: unfortunately, one of the best means of reducing electricity consumption - the installation of awnings - is a solution that needs to be approached with caution because some who peddle shade products are themselves shady.

“You have to watch out for awning rip-off artists,” says Don Araiza, president of Eide Industries, a Cerritos, Calif., firm that engineers and installs awnings and custom shade systems to naturally cool homes and offices as the sun’s rays relentlessly beat down on them.

“A trick of theirs is to assemble awning frames without capping the ends,” Araiza says. “Leaving the ends open saves the maker a few dollars, but shortens the life of the awning by allowing rain and condensation to accumulate inside the awning’s framework tubing. The moisture corrodes the awning frame from within. Awning frame failure can follow in short order.”

Another trick played on consumers: spray painting the awning frame without first sandblasting and priming its metallic surfaces. “The paint will soon begin to flake and peel, leaving the awning frame exposed to the elements, with corrosion and breakage to follow,” Araiza reveals.

Some tips for consumers who want to avoid awning rip-offs:

  • Insist on a state-licensed awning contractor. “This is your assurance that the awning manufacturer who installs what it makes will comply fully with building and safety codes,” says Araiza.
  • Choose based on product excellence. “Look for an awning manufacturer that emphasizes quality work along with stylish design,” he says.
  • Shop for the best - not necessarily lowest - awning price. “Awnings that cost the least,” says Araiza, “usually are made with substandard awning materials that can shred and fall apart in a relatively short time.”
  • Look for an awning maker that subscribes to a code of ethics. Says Araiza, “Members of trade organizations such as the Industrial Fabrics Association International and the Western Canvas Products Association are pledged to provide good awning products at reasonable prices backed by appropriate technical support and generally to conduct business in an upstanding manner at all times.”
  • Take a peek at the awning production facility. Tour the plant to see what kind of shop the company runs. “If it looks like a tornado just blew through, expect sloppy awning craftsmanship or slothful service,” says Araiza. “Conversely, a tidy awning facility usually signals quality work, attention to detail, and crisp efficiency all around.”

Eide Industries - launched in 1938 and today operating from a 41,000-square-foot facility - offers engineering, industrial sewn products (including awnings), large-scale graphics applications and custom welded metal products. All of the company’s products are built to precise customer specifications and designed to withstand the ravages of wind, sun, rain, snow, sand and time.

Share the Warmth: Company Pledges to Help Northeast Poor Pay Winter Heating Bills by Giving Cash from Environmental Projects

January 29th, 2009

A sunny Southern California producer of custom awnings that keep homes cool in summer today pledged to donate a potentially sizable amount of cash to help low-income families in the frigid Northeast heat their homes this winter - the money coming from company projects that meet certain environmental sustainability parameters. Eide Industries said it will send $100 to the nonprofit Dollar Energy Fund each time Eide during 2009 manufactures and installs a fabric-based shade project registered with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program.

Cerritos, Calif. (PRWEB) November 18, 2008 — Despite recent sharp declines in fuel prices, America’s poor can expect to spend four times as much of their income trying to keep warm this winter than everyone else, according to the federally created Low Income Heating and Energy Assistance Program.

And, should the cost of oil again soar, the poor will be faced with still greater seasonal hardship.

We felt our initiative to help struggling families would have the most meaning if we were to stipulate that the projects triggering a donation be registered with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program - or LEED
But if one modestly-sized California company has anything to say about it, disadvantaged households in the Northeast will worry a bit less about paying their heating bills.

Eide Industries - a producer of custom awnings and other architectural shade systems - today pledged to donate $100 to a nonprofit energy assistance fund each time the company during 2009 manufactures and installs a fabric-based shade project registered with one of the nation’s premiere environmental sustainability programs.

The recipient of the forthcoming donations is the Dollar Energy Fund, a member of the National Fuel Funds Network that jointly raises $100 million annually on behalf of people who need financial assistance in order to pay their utility bills.

Eide chose the Dollar Energy Fund because the award-winning organization partners with 17 utility companies across Pennsylvania, New York and New Jersey - a populous region whose poor are expected to be particularly hard-hit this winter by the recent spikes in energy costs.

Eide Industries was spurred to make its donation pledge on behalf of hardship households after a home heating assistance bill failed to pass the Senate in July.

“That failure was particularly disappointing because the bill had strong bipartisan support, with 52 co-sponsors signed on to it,” says Don Araiza, company president.

By tying its charitable giving to environmental sustainability, Eide hopes to address two pressing issues at the same time. “We felt our initiative to help struggling families would have the most meaning if we were to stipulate that the projects triggering a donation be registered with the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design program - or LEED,” says Araiza.

The LEED program was developed in 1998 by the U.S. Green Building Council to provide standards for environmentally sustainable construction. Since then, more than 14,000 projects across the U.S. and 30 nations involving more than 1 billion square feet of developed area have been completed in accordance with the requirements of LEED.

ABOUT EIDE INDUSTRIES: Eide Industries - started in 1938 and today operating from a 41,000-square-foot facility in Cerritos, Calif. - offers engineering, industrial sewn products, large-scale shading systems and custom-welded metal products.

Custom Rims

November 12th, 2008

Custom rims are almost a necessity for cars, trucks and SUV’s today. It seems like no one wants to roll out on stock wheels any more. It is what “finishes” the look of your ride. If you can at all afford it, get some chrome wheels to spice up your car, chrome looks best on cars with a black paint job, but works fine with al other colors too.

Many people also have their custom wheels paint matched with a combination of the body color of their vehicle along with a chrome or other metal finish for that total custom look.

If looking for brand name wheels here are some brands we suggest, happy shopping!

Power Tools for Home Projects

September 9th, 2008

In today’s competitive marketplace, buying the right power tools for your jobs is key to your success. With the housing slump, profit margins on most jobs are tight and bids are highly competitive in today’s economy. Most contractors can’t afford to make a mistake in purchasing power tools from the wrong manufacturer. Buying proven quality products from established manufacturers with quality control and excellent guarantees will help insure that your jobs get done safely and efficiently.
Many online power tool companies offer most major brands, like Makita, Senco, MK Diamond, Bosch, Skil, Hitachi, and so on. They have proven quality, experience and they stand behind their tools. These leading manufacturers for power tools offer everything from saws, nailers, staplers, cordless tools, drills, and many more. Anything you could need for your construction needs can be found online, but don’t be fooled by the knock off’s. Some stores offer brands that look like a leading manufacturer. They may even have the same color scheme, but they do not offer the same quality and guarantees as the industry leaders.
Make sure you are buying from a reputable store with knowledgeable employees who can help you find the right tool for your specific job. For example, knowing which saw to purchase makes the difference in the profitability of your job, not to mention the easy of use and safety as you work with that tool. Some online store are owned and operated by contractors with decades of experience in the power tool industry. So in today’s competitive library bookcases marketplace, make sure you are buying the “real” and proven tools made by industry leaders and make sure that you are buying them from someone who knows your business.

Pop-Up Canopy

March 20th, 2008

Are you ready for Summer? It’s time to dust off the barbecue pit, buy charcoal, clean the swimming pool and prep the backyard for those hot days and nights with some new patio furniture. To protect your loved ones from the sun around the pool, I recommend picking up a pop-up canopy or patio umbrella or two. Either of which you can take with you on road trips or to any tailgating parties. And most of all…don’t forget the sunscreen!
