Ultima Home Improvements Inc No Longer In Business

We got 2 quotes: one from [competitor name removed--Ed], the other via Home Depot . Ultima appears to be part of a group of installers whom H-Depot seem to outsource to.

I would recommend Mr [last name removed--Ed]and the company Ultima to friends and colleagues. ( have go thru Home Depot ). So I'd alert friends to wait for MEANINGFUL sales and wait if possible. Ultima's crew --the actual workers-- are fine people , and are good to work with. JV , Admin , on behalf of Adam [last name removed--Ed] dictated
