I wish I had a local guy that I had confidence in but I don't. I'm the last one in the world to want to deal with shipping and communicating long distance.
I know it is somewhat of a gamble, but to be honest I have a good feeling about Jasper based on what I have seen.
If I go with them, I'll use their local installer so I get the warranty. I've yet to contact them. Based on the vibes I get from them I'll make my decision.
But to all that have replied I want to say thanks very much for the great feedback. As I have said before, being the amateur that I am, I probably wouldn't even attempt this project without SB.
I see you didn't read any of the material I posted about Jasper NOT HONORING THEIR WARRANTY'S. Using a local installer won't matter. Read the posts
