I entered into a contract with SSMF, Inc. (Also doing business as Shutter System Manufacturing of Florida , Stainless Steel Metal of Florida, Inc. Phone numbers 954-748-7995 or 866-881-8335.

A search under SSMF Inc. on this board says it all. A company that exists simply to take deposits of innocent victims wishing to protect their homes with no intent to ever deliver on their contract. A recent visit to their office reveals that they are leaving and that the 5025 N. Hiatus Road address is now operated by "new owners". The name is too similar and quite suspicious. Probably new name with new "front" officers up to the same old tricks. I wrote to Channel 10 news. Recommendation by them: Report to... read full review »

The company SSMF, INC uses many aliases. They operate under Shutter Systems Manufacturing of Florida, Inc., Stainless Steel & Metal of Florida Inc., and the new reincarnation is Stainless Steel & Metal of South Florida Inc. Regardless of their name "du jour", they are a deceptive company interested only in taking your deposits, ignoring your phone calls for a couple of months, and then open up under a new alias NEVER installing the product you paid for. SCAM, SCAM, SCAM. If you too have been scammed by them, I... read full review »

Shutter company took my money, never installed shutters. Calling on the phone was useless. If I went to the office at 5025 N. Hiatus Road, they would send me to the 5181 NW 108 Av. Sunrise location. There, workers would tell me I need to speak to manger (who of course, was never there). Now, the 5025 Hiatus Road location has changed their signs and the NW 108 Av. location has been vacated. They have apparently taken the money and run. PLEASE REPORT THIS COMPANY read full review »

This product is advertised by Scotts as being safe for St Augustine grass. Approximately seven days after applying this product to my lawn, which is St Augustine grass, the grass began to die. Within two weeks, any part of my lawn which had been treated with this product was completely dead including the root system itself. The product was applied within the guidelines as far as application rate and air temperature, as specified on the applicator. A check of the web indicates Scotts has been aware of this problem at least a far back as 2003 but continues to market this product as safe for St. Augustine grass. read full review »
