Even if you are located in a warmer climate, please consider the fact that the order may travel through colder areas during which they can be subjected to freezing temperatures.

- New Price Addendum
Dear Bane-Clene Customer:
Due to an unprecedented shortage of raw materials, increased product costs from manufacturers and increased freight costs, we are forced to raise the prices on some of our products and also adjust our freight and discount policies.
Therefore, the prices in the 2007-2008 catalog are now obsolete.
We now include a new Price Addendum booklet with the catalogs we send out.
If you want a copy of the new Price Addendum booklet, just call us and we'll send one to you.
The price addendum is also available on line at http://www.baneclene.com/price-addendum.pdf.
NOTE: This is a very large 28-page Adobe Acrobat file and may take a while to download.
We strive to provide you with the best products at the best prices. Once again, we do this only as a last resort. Thank you for your patronage past, present and future.

- Angie's List Award
Bane-Clene's service company has been awarded the 2006 and the 2007 Angie's List Super Service Award. The award is based on feedback from homeowners and given to companies that consistently maintain a superior service rating for a full year.Fewer than 5% of companies on Angie's List are eligible for this award, and even fewer actually receive it. To be eligible, it is necessary to maintain an “A” rating overall and receive a minimum number of reports during the calendar year. In addition (and among other things), a company may not be in Angie’s List “Penalty Box” or have an unsatisfactory rating at the Better Business Bureau.
Angie's List is a network for consumers. It's a collection of homeowners' real-life experiences with service companies. The people who join Angie's List are looking for trustworthy companies that perform high-quality work and check Angie's List to find out what people in their area are saying about the companies they've hired.
More than 500,000 Angie's List members in 124 major cities submit more than 12,000 reports each month. They describe their project, and grade the company's response time, prices and the quality of workmanship.
No company pays to be on Angie's List and cannot add themselves to the list. The list comes from the feedback of homeowners who are members. The ratings are clean and straightforward which makes finding good companies easier.
The management of Bane-Clene is extremely proud and grateful for this prestigious award and extends its sincere appreciation along with the pledge to continue to earn the trust of Angie's List patrons.
