Didn't get a chance to inspect it until today....
My text exchange with Joseph Brown, owner of JB Construct and Reno LLC on June 16, 2020
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Me: When you get a minute can you give me a call about the deck please
Joseph: Whats going on.
Me: Can you call today? Please. Thank you
Joseph: Can you just let me know now what's going on. I have a long day. Let me know whats going on and I'll be able to tell you when I call you.
Me: I have several concerns about the deck and I want to talk to you on the phone and not text about them sometime today when you have time it doesn't have to be right this moment. Thank you
Joseph calls. Is rude. Asks for list in writing (text). Explains I have a 2 year warranty.
Me:
Deck problems
1-$1100deck becomes $1700 deck then $1800 deck
(I understand composite is more expensive, though when u were at Menards you told me it was about the same.
I guess the extra deck screws were 100 bucks?)
I'd like to see the receipts for all the material.
2- Joists are 21-28 on center and I'm 172lbs and bouncing with each step.
I've never seen a deck built with joists that we're more than 16 inches on center.
3-Half a dozen? screws sticking out the east end of the deck
4-2 nice gouges in the deck
5- No step is present as we discussed.
6-The last decking board hangs about 4 inches or so off the deck on the north side and is even on the southside. The deck is out of square. If somebody puts their weight on that overhang it's libel to come off. I don't think that single face screw is going to cut it.
Let me know before the day's out how you gonna fix this "under warranty."
Thanks
Joseph explained he'd fix a few things "maybe, because if it's not broke the warranty doesn't count."
Then he never showed up.
