+1.

Edit necessitates that I reply with a "+1" to HomeSealed amended commentary on product selections as well as company sustainability.

Of that list, Soft-Lite makes the best product in vinyl. Your cousin's point is accurate, with caveats. Plenty of companies have been acquired by larger companies and still had their warranties invalidated because the acquiring company purchased the assets and none of the liabilities.

Generally speaking, as referenced by randy....tall fences make for good neighbors analogy for using friends. That said...sounds like he is a company owner vs. just a guy.
