On Friday, 6/11/20, there was a man walking around my front yard so I went to see what he was doing. Normally I would not deal with this type of advertising but I am a 67 years old and was going to replace most of my rotted deck boards. I bought all of the wood that I wanted to replace.
I did not trust him but he gave me a business card from this company and I looked online and figured that an established business would back their promises.
I got a written contract and I was to pay when project was complete.
1) Remove handrails where needed
2) Remove rotten decking boards
3) Scab onto steps where needed
4) Install new decking boards and handrails.
He also promised to clean up and remove all old wood and I was to pay when project is complete.
He had a helper and they worked from 12:30 to 2:30 that day. They said they had to leave and go to the bank and asked for $275 and would return to finish the next day. I reluctantly gave them the money as I wanted to get the deck finished and they were leaving their tools in my shed.
They came back the next day and worked 8:30 until about 11:00 and went for lunch before 11:00 and came back and left by noon and wanting the full amount that the contract said which was $575. The worker got verbally abusive when I told him that I would pay him when finished like the contract that he wrote was completed.
They did not finish the job. Rushed work and left gaps between the boards that they did replace. I repaired the wiring on their cut circular saw that they cut.
I did get at least my $275 money on labor. I notice that my 5 lb. hammer that I let them use was missing. I called the owner to complain and he claimed to have not known anything about this job. My wife said she heard the caller say his name when I called the office.
I told the owner that my 5 lb. hammer was missing and he said that he would buy me a new one so I texted him my address and now it is nearly 15 months later, and I still did not receive the money for it.
I wrote this to warn others who may be considering using this company. read more
