I doubt very strongly that United/Mark Berch will open in Texas simply due to this: TDLR will not allow the Berch's to open back up in the state. ACCA will not allow it niether. They will be looking very closely at all companys who apply for changes with an out-of -state company. And for the record, As of the middle of November 2003 United had no License holder for TX, so for all the invoices which were written this past 30 days, are a TDLR violation. Companies such as these, are the reason we have to pay outragous renewals on our licenses and IF any complaints are proven us guilty, The penalties went from $500/day/offense to $5000/day /offense. People such as the Berch Bros and many just as crooked, care little for anyone except how much money can we wring out of them

Fred, If you find out or know the new name of the Window company please post it. As a connected company to United Restoration they could be in trouble too. If you personally were ripped off or other employees were contact an attorney. The Berch Brothers didn't just scam the customers they scammed thier employees too. The pay structure that they were paying (commission only) quite often fell below the federal minimum wage. You or other employees could be entitled to back wages and damages.

I have new information on united. They have started to close there texas stores from what i understand. However I also heard they are getting a new license holder and may open back up under another name. I have very good sources so if I find out for sure this is happening I will update again. They will also be changing the name of the window division so be aware of anyone you use and check them out well. I am sure this is happening as far as the closing goes because they only have 3 techs working the Dallas Ft. Worth area at this time. They used to run about 30 to 40. So if this is any indication of what is going on it is true.
