This was one of the worst "contractors" I have every dealt with. They really did not know what they were doing. I finally had to cancel the contract after numerous mistakes, code violations, lies, lack of communication, and completely unsatisfactory work. There were 5 shortcuts/improper installation, and use of materials suited for indoor project but used on my outdoor project. The workers were unskilled and didn't know a hammer from a nail. The owner was only on site after he was advised that he needed to correct the mistakes. In one day I called him 7 times. He did not answer any of my calls. His workers showed up 3 hours late the first day. The owner never showed up even though he said he would be there all day. The crew did not know the scope of the work and I had to show them the contract. I was called a "fucking bitch" by the owner's son. After speaking with a lawyer I was advised to cancel the contract for cause. I had given a 50% deposit and of course he has not provided an accounting of the materials or labor hours. He repeatedly lied to me during the 15 days before I cancelled. The contract was to be completed within 5 days. I was able to retain a REAL contractor who completed the project in 6 hours. During this time I was shown myriad construction issues that clearly reflected this owner's ability to properly construct anything. He wanted to take advantage of me, do a shoddy job, leave quickly, and provide an unsafe and unstable product. I was also told that his sloppy construction was outdated I had not received what I had paid for. Everything in the post is documented either by photos, texts, or emails, or voice mails. STAY AWAY FROM THIS COMPANY OR BE PREPARED TO HAVE A MISERABLE, UNPROFESSIONAL, SLOPPY JOB DONE! read more
