All these horror stories I'm finding out about this company makes me glad I got my awnings installed in late 2005 and didn't have to play any games with these guys.My only complaint is my awnings are falling apart and I don't have anything telling me a warranty period on the things.I looked at the contract and it does not have anything on it.If anyone has a copy of a warranty please get in touch with me.But from the sounds of things they might not honor it.

TOTAL SCAM!!!! MOST UNPROFESSIONAL CO. EVER!!! – UHI was advertising @ the OC fair so I put my info to get an estimate. The owner, Dan Golka, called to set up an appointment. There was a lot of pressure to give him the check on the spot but he said all the right things and I felt pretty good about it when he left. That was the last time I felt good about it b/c he said I had 48 hours to cancel and he didn't answer the phone call to cancel. I tried so many time to reach him. Finally, my husband left a voicemail that he was go... read more

Ripped Off By Dan Golka United Home Improvement – Dan Golka and his company United Home Improvement robbing me. Awning broke Immediately. After winning 2 Orange County court cases against Dan Golka I still have not received my money. He refused to fix my awning or provide a refund. He was rude to me and my wife and he should be avoided. Read his dozens of poor reviews.

Total Ripoff Artist – The person who owns and operates United Home Improvement Centers is Dan Golka. This guy is a total con artist who will take your deposit and not do any work. If you try to contact him all you get is voicemail, though if you call in as a new potential customer from a different number that he doesn't recognize then he will answer the phone or return your call as he is always looking for a new sucker to give him a deposit. Both he and his business have been sued MANY times in recent years and have numerous... read more

Very bad vibe – The gentleman who came out to make a bid on our awning replacement fabric was presentable enough. He had a book of samples and a flyer of his business. He failed to produce a business card, though. He asked for 1/2 down ($600) to start the work. Could we please write a check...."nope, I said." I want to obtain competitive bids first. He became very annoyed with me. A bit hostile even. I thought if I can't get along with someone right off the bat BEFORE he starts the work, then there is no way I can deal with ... read more

STAY AWAY - WORST SERVICE EVER - HUGE LIAR – Purchased a near $3000 retractable awning from United. HUGH MISTAKE. I never dealt with a company owned by such a liar. After just about 2 dozen uses the retractable arms broke. I phoned owner Dan Golka at least a couple of times a week. Dan admitted the arms were defective from the actual manufacturer and promised to replace the arms without cost to me. Promise after promise, lie after lie. After more then nine months of trying to get the awning repaired I gave up to have the Uni... read more

Failure to deliver on installation – We contracted with United Home Improvements Centers at the beginning of January for a replacement awning and a new awning. The were suppose to have this completed Feb 10th. It is now March 30th. They ended up with two payments (now paid in full). They don't return phone calls. One of the persons that did answer the phone was not very professional. While there aren't many complaints on BBB, this is obviously not the first time they have done this. Complaint filed with the CA license board ... read more
