DO NOT HIRE PRECISE HISE, LLC.
We are sharing this…read moreexperience so other homeowners can protect themselves. Contracts mean nothing with Cory Hise and Lloyd King. I think people, even though done wrong, feel that at some point they should have done something differently to protect themselves, but they continued with them anyway in hopes of improvement. I have cried at my kitchen table with these men and deep down I knew I had not protected myself. Making it difficult to write this post. I think victims may feel like they are being "petty or negative" by posting, but I am doing it to warn others. It's been 3 years since contracting with Precise Hise and my family and I are still living in a construction zone while they continue in these misdealing's with people's lives. Had I read posts like mine and those on Yelp (1.0 rating), I would NOT have engaged with Precise Hise, not even to build a deck. We are now in debt and with an incomplete renovation that other contractors deem as major work left.
We paid this company $234,825.50 for a major home renovation project that was left incomplete after the Precise Hise effectively abandoned the job once it became clear we would not provide additional money without proof of where our money had been spent and further notable progress.
This experience has been financially and emotionally devastating for my husband and I.
From early in the project, work was inconsistent, poorly managed, and frequently stalled. Later in the project afer many delays, the general contractor stopped showing up regularly, and we were forced to coordinate subcontractors ourselves -- completely unacceptable when you hire a general contractor.
Despite repeated written and verbal requests, our home was left open and unprotected from weather, resulting in severe water damage after multiple days of rain. This damage could have been prevented with basic supervision and responsibility.
Large portions of the contracted work were never started or left incomplete, including:
* HVAC, electrical, and plumbing rerouting
* Kitchen and primary suite remodel (left with wood studs)
* No Flooring purchase/installation
* No or improper Exterior work and drainage
* Improper Structural and finishing work throughout the home
We were repeatedly asked for additional payments without receipts, transparency, or progress that matched the funds already paid.
After being given written assurances that the project would be completed with one final $20,000 draw, we paid it in good faith. Shortly afterward, we were told another $40,000 was suddenly required because major components like insulation, stucco, and drywall had never been included in the budget.
We later discovered that stone purchased with our money (approximately $7,000) was taken and installed in another project under the contractor's account.
When we refused to provide more money without accountability, the project stalled and was ultimately abandoned.
What makes this situation even more troubling is that faith-based language and references to God were used to build trust throughout the process, but there was no accountability when problems arose.
Only after the contractors abandoned the job did we learn that this company has been sued multiple times for similar issues -- something we wish we had known before signing a contract.
We are now left with:
* An incomplete renovation; Primary suite and addition left at the framing level without electricity, plumbing, insulation and all things to obtain an CO
* Significant repair needs; project continued to leak hence damaging framing and floors
* A financial loss of over $234,000
* The burden of hiring new professionals to fix and complete the work without allocated funds
If my post did not deter you, may God keep you and bless you. Please do extensive research, demand documentation(receipts) for every draw, a draw timeline that is performance based, and proceed with extreme caution before hiring Precise Hise, LLC.
