Customer Experience
Some customers at LaForce Inc. had positive experiences with the company. For instance, Patrick Hill, a truck driver, appreciated the welcoming atmosphere and professionalism of the staff at the Wisconsin location. He mentioned that the staff was very polite and helped him unload his freight without any issues. Similarly, Peter Scholl, a contractor, praised the company for providing quality products and excellent customer service. He praised Ryan Zoellick, the representative, for being knowledgeable and willing to go the extra mile to ensure customer satisfaction.
Installation and Customer Service
On the other hand, Mark R. Jones had a poor experience with LaForce Inc. He ordered a custom fire door from the company, but the process was plagued with issues. Jones was frustrated that LaForce unilaterally decided to provide an in-house solution instead of working with the manufacturer. This led to delays and inconvenience for the customer.
