I hired Azimi from Azimiâ s remodeling services to repair termite damage to my back porch and replace damaged wood, install porch decking, paint porch, and haul off debris from the job. They left it unfinished, hazardous and unsafe, and not to my satisfaction. They would also no-show me on days that we agreed upon, and show up unannounced on other days without notice. When I hired him, we agreed on $2770 with $1700 up front to start the job. His guys demoed the porch, removed some of the termite damage but left some, and was going to leave all the debris under the porch. Some of the damaged wood was also holding the support posts for the middle of the roof over the porch. Azimi did not build the porch or the roof but said he would replace what he took out. He said that if he could not get the damaged wood out from under the posts, it would have to stay there if it is still acting as support. He did get it out and left the posts hanging from the top with no support on the bottom. They said they would support it, but instead tried to cover it up, creating a hazardous situation. Plus, they were trying to leave the debris, along with several days of their trash from lunch breaks and such, under the porch and cover that up too. They started laying the deck boards saying, "no one is going to see this under here". I just had back surgery, so I couldn't do anything. My wife, whom is also a disabled Veteran, had to get up under the porch and clean out all the debris before they finished putting the floorboards down. When they put the boards down, most of them were crooked and cut uneven. Some of the screws were not installed, and some were in at an angle to where the corner of the heads were sticking up, and there were nails sticking up in front of the back door, points up. They said, "the paint will cover all of that up". I told Azimi, and he replaced them with another guy who tried his best to fix their mess. He was doing good until I gave him the check. I paid them the final balance of $1170 because I trusted Azimi and because he has done good work for me in the past, but I don't know what happened this time, and I am out of a lot of money. Some of the damaged wood was not replaced, and the debris and trash is still in my yard. They stopped answering my phone calls and text messages after I paid them the final check, and I know they're not going to do what was listed in the contract, especially removing all termite damaged wood and replace, and haul off debris. I called my lawyer, and they sent Azimi a letter to complete the job correctly and to my satisfaction. They also told me to get another estimate on how much it would cost to repair it correctly. I contacted a Residential contractor for the estimate, and they quoted me $2000. When they sent Azimi the letter, He responded to them that I was satisfied and instructed them to leave the debris so that I could use it as firewood. Not only is that ridiculous, it is also hazardous to burn treated, painted wood, and that was never even mentioned in our conversation or on the contract. The last guy helped me put a temporary block under one of the posts. I repeatedly told them that I was not satisfied at all. They would not respond to me. The lawyer was going to cost me more than the repairs, and I believe that azimi knows this, so I am getting no cooperation from azimi, and I have to pay extra to get the job done correct and debris hauled off. I do not recommend azimi's remodeling service. read more
