Estate Shutters Inc. 1711 S. 47th Ave. #500 Phoenix, Az. 85043 1~888~602~6020 To whom it may concern, My name is Tom Witzke and I am the CEO of Estate Shutters Inc., an Arizona corporation in good standing. I have invested nearly one million dollars in components, machinery and build out in my new shutter production facility, inventorying over 40,000 sq.ft. of Basswood components on our shelves at all times. Estate Shutters Inc. is a wholesale to the trade only company and has never had a retail customer, as has been alleged. I offer only painted shutters at this time and have never offered stained product to any company. The grand opening of the new facility is Jan~19th from 2pm till 7pm. No customer has been offered installation of product, as it is not an option at this time. No customer should expect installation of product by Estate Shutters Inc... Arizona does not require a contractor's license to manufacture or wholesale shutters to any company in this or any other state. I do however have all required resale licenses, occupancy certificates and tax identification numbers, as well as a multimillion dollar general liability policy to protect my staff and Customers. Kenneth Montoya is my Sales and Marketing lead. Although he had a retail business that failed and was forced to file for bankruptcy protection due to a series of events that I will decline to elaborate on, it is irrelevant to Estate Shutters Inc.. I feel he has the experience and product knowledge that will benefit my customers. He also possesses intimate knowledge of price points and sourcing making Estate Shutters Inc. more competitive than other shutter fabricators or distributors in the state. Kristen Wolf, who is married to Kenneth, will head my office operations. As previously stated, she too has years of experience that will prove invaluable, to both my customers and myself. Unfortunately unfounded statements with regards to outstanding legal issues can go unchecked on some sites such as this one. Kenneth and Kristen's address as well as other personal information has been listed on this site for well over a year and there has been no attempt to hide from any law enforcement personnel. If anyone needs to find Kenneth or Kristen, you can find them working at my facility daily. Please feel free to contact me directly at 602-254-5320 or come by and talk with me in person at 1711 S. 47th Ave. #500 Phoenix, Az. The bogus complaints about my Company are without any merit! I take it as a compliment that there are competitors that will stoop to this type of deception to retain business. My product and delivery time will lead this industry into a new era. I look forward to speaking with anyone who has any questions regarding Estate Shutters Inc. Sincerely, Tom Witzke CEO ~ Estate Shutters Inc.
