First of all I am in Hollywood Florida, not San Francisco.
Yigal, Dr Decks, started out great.
The finished product looks terrible.
He rushed at the end to go start another job.
Extremely sloppy work.
I have been asking him for six months now to please come back and make things right.
He texts me that he will but never shows up and does not answer when I call.
more than six months now.
There are boards warping and there are unfinished edges.
I still have extra material left over from the job and he could fix this in one day.
no material, just labor.
I should have hired an established contractor.
He told me that was just starting his business and seemed like a nice guy.
I paid him &15,000 and now need to hire someone to fix the mess he left.
He did not replace some old framing wood from the old deck he was supposed to remove, just covered it up.
After six month of begging him to fix the mess he built here I went to Decks and Docks the supply business where he said that he buys his material in Ft Lauderdale to ask them about him,
They don't even know him.....
He told me that he doesn't buy material from Home Depot because it's low quality, that's not true. I've seen him driving out of Home Depot with wood stacked in the bed of his truck.
I could say more about the lies and excuses he has given me in the last six months for not being able to come back and fix the mess he left here.
I hired a decking professional that the people from Decks and Docks recommended and it cost me $1500 to make the deck look presentable.
If I wanted to have it made properly it would have cost about $4000. read more
