Ron Crowder is a crook and a thief. I contracted with Southwest Vinyl to put some fencing up for me, which I paid for. We had a dispute about payment for part of another job he was to do for me. In order to force (blackmail) me into paying him he not only took me to court but he sent employees from Southwest Vinyl to my home while I was at work and stole the vinyl panels I had already paid for. I have video footage of the employees in the process of stealing my panels. The judge did enter a judgement against me but not for the amount Ron Crowder was seeking. The amount of damages was $2706.63. The judge gave me an abatement of $1275.75, which is less than the amount I paid for the panels. So I only owe $1669.88. The judge also said that I would have to pay southwest vinyl again to have my panels returned. They can keep the panels. A good honest business would have given me my property back. Of course a good honest business would not resort to stealing peoples property in the first place in order to blackmail them. I understand some of you folks out there have had a good experience with that company. If anyone asks me, I will tell them to do business but read the whole contract front and back
before you put your signature on it. Of course I will never do business with that company again. The judge did ask Ron Crowder why he took the panels. His response was "To make him pay". I have also spoken to other people who have done business with southwest vinyl and they pretty much have had the same experience I had. The job they did for me really was not that good either. One of the post they put up is crooked and they did not fix a loose brick in my back yard when they put fencing on top of my wall. If Ron Crowder informs you about getting a permit do your own research. I paid for a fake permit. I got red tagged because of that.
