Hi ..
IMO any good shop/installer will do whatever it takes to get you the
result ..
like work with the kit's producer if needed.
  I don't think that's an unreasonable expectation ...I consider that a
totally normal expectation !

Surely Bostig themselves has recommended installers on the East Coast,
I'd sure think.

My understanding it that it should go together very nicely with almost
no 'figuring out.'
