If I could rate a minus 100, I would! My interaction with Billy has been a living hell! Go to a reputable company, do your research. He has terrible work ethics and bad attitude. He told me to remove the photos on yelp but sorry, I cannot allow anyone else to experience this! *****Do NOT pay up front!
He quoted me for a 4 foot stone wall and used concrete tiles in my front yard that I said was okay to use for fillers but he used it mostly instead of rock. So, my ugly wall is mostly tile and although he mentioned twice that he would order more rock, he did not. They also used other concrete tiles in my yard as well as my Mom's rocks from her rock garden. This was NOT approved! There are huge gaps & holes on both sides of the wall. He told me that my neighbor didn't pay him so he won't fix that side. So, I hired somone to do it so rats wont have a place in the wall. It's the SAME wall! My 90 year old mother sat outside in her wheelchair to watch them work and noticed how careless he is. Every time I mention something to him, he comes back with accusations, slandering, derogatory remarks and wants to charge me more. He never mentioned $1500 for grouting or an extra cost for the capping on top of the wall. All extra costs he "failed" to mention in his contract. Lie of omission and bait & switch is illegal. He said he would do 1 foot deep and 16 inches wide footing but there are areas where the rock is right on the ground and the concrete is already cracking. The contractor I hired to fix his mistakes said footing needs to be deeper and no footing is evident. Capping on top and grouting should be included for $7500. He has the wall supported by the vinyl fence, left a mess that I need to clean on both neighbor's sides.
They dumped the rocks in our driveway without protecting the concrete by laying down plywood. Now, it is all chipped and cracked and with heavy rains on Oahu, it will get worst. He also delayed my wall because he took another job but used all sorts of excuses. This is just another example of his "withholding " information but to him, he didn't lie. No morals.
He made a comment about my past bad experience with another contractor which was uncalled for. When given the opportunity to fix any issues, he accused me of complaining and "looking for every small hole". And I need to pay more??? Which will cost another $1500 on top of the $7500 I paid already. The one and only other review says he offered to fix any problems but this is not the same person I've been dealing with. This is a ugly wall. They are not experienced in building walls. Gave him opportunity to make it right and he didnt show up on Monday until late afternoon when he saw my yelp review. They came yesterday for a couple of hours, and grouted, terribly. He was supposed to add more stones but did an ugly cement fill. You can see in photos
He is not BBB accredited and his license number cannot be found BC-33269 BJ Construction or Parsons Masonry. I checked with RICO and no active license. Beware! Research and find a reputable company! This business is not legit and he will show you old photos from 2022. I told him I am not confident that he knows what he's doing and released him.
