Review Title: Beware: Unlicensed Specialty Work, Aggressive Overcharging, and Empty Threats
I am writing this review to warn other North Texas homeowners about the predatory billing practices and extreme lack of professionalism from DSH Construction Services LLC.
We brought them out to handle a water mitigation and cleanup issue. They initiated the work without providing a written estimate or discussing any pricing upfront. When the work was complete, they handed us a massive bill (Invoice 1096) totaling $3,140 for less than two days of work by a two-man crew.
The invoice included completely arbitrary flat labor charges ($1,200 for a few hours on a Wednesday evening and $900 for a Friday). Even worse, they billed us premium rates for specialized mold remediation.
When I asked for a basic, itemized breakdown of their hourly labor rates and actual hours worked, the contractor completely refused to cooperate. Instead, they immediately jumped to hostile intimidation tactics, threatening to put a mechanic's lien on my home if I didn't pay the arbitrary total immediately.
To completely protect my property title from their bad-faith threats, I paid the invoice in full, under protest and duress. Because they have zero legal ground to stand on, I am now pursuing them in Collin County Small Claims Court for unjust enrichment to recover the overcharged funds, and I am filing a formal complaint with the TDLR for performing unlicensed mold remediation.
If you use this company, make sure you get everything in writing before they touch your property. Better yet, save yourself the stress, legal headache, and intimidation tactics, and hire a licensed, ethical professional instead. read more
