Important Information

Advertising Review

In October 2023, BBB contacted Fair County Awning Co. regarding claims in its advertising.

Its website states "Explore what’s possible with our decorative, eco-friendly awnings," "Add true value to your home with an awning that is environmentally safe, reduces energy consumption, and protects your skin from the harmful rays," and "Why not be green, protect your skin from the sun, and reduce energy consumption."  According to the BBB Code of Advertising, claims relating to performance, energy savings, safety, efficacy or results for a product or service should be based on recent and competent testing or other objective data. Advertisers should not make broad, unqualified general environmental benefit claims like eco-friendly. General claims must be qualified with specific environmental benefits and the benefit(s) should be significant. Advertisers must possess competent and reliable evidence (often scientific evidence) to support all environmental benefit claims. Qualifications for any claim must be clear, conspicuous and understandable.  BBB requested that the business provide substantiation for its claims and qualify its environmental benefit claims but did not receive a reply. 

The claims "We guarantee all of our work, because we know how important it is to your success" and "Get made in the shade with guaranteed awning services" also appear on its website. When using the term guarantee, the advertiser must clearly and conspicuously include a statement that the complete details can be seen prior to sale. These details must disclose any material limitations on the guarantee. The business did not respond to BBB's request that it add the terms of its guarantee to its advertising.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
