As a former sales person, my branch manager was pumping this stock earlier in the year when it was $2.90, saying he wished he had money to buy more. Well Lou, this dog is now $2.30 and is certain to break the $1 mark, so sit tight However, even at a buck, it is still a losing proposition. Home Depot no longer sells your wooden decks due to all the problems they had and their composites are not worth paying 40 - 50% over fair market value. As for kitchen cabinet refacing, both Consumers Kitchens and Baths and Kitchen Magic sell solid surface counter tops for less than their laminated counter tops and their refacing prices are just as outrageous.

With the tougher economy and people looking for bargains, USHS doesn't stand a chance. Quoting a $10,000 refacing job for $15,000 and then offering a "SIGN NOW" discount of $350.00 plus no payment/no interest for 6-months doesn't cut it. It's an insult to the customer and an embarrassment to the salesperson.

What sticks in my mind most about USHS is their recommendation to take the "after" picture the day the job is completed and before the customer notices all the glitches! Good luck and plenty of it because I doubt USHS will be around by the end of 2009.
