In June, my mother contracted with Brandon and Sanctified Construction Services for the replacement of deck boards on a preexisting deck and to paint the exterior woodwork to match the new colors that were chosen for the new deck boards. While the deck was nicely done, even if it was not in the timely manner it was promised, the painting, for which we were charged $700, was not in any sense of the word acceptable. Unfortunately, my mother lives on the first floor of her home and is unable to travel upstairs due to health limitations and I was away on vacation and preparing for the start of the new school year when Brandon and his crew "finished" the job.
When I was able to finally come over to take a look at the work that was completed several weeks later, the deck did look very well done. However, I immediately noticed that the painting of the exterior woodwork on the house was not properly done and when I went upstairs to check the upstairs balcony woodwork, it was even worse than I had imagined.
As you will see by the included pictures the painting was sloppy and not what one would expect for $70 much less $700. The upstairs balcony door still had painter's tape on it and the painting was not completed, woodwork had paint spread all over it and things that should not have been painted ended up with paint on them.
Since the "completion" of the work and the finding of the painting deficiencies, I have reached out to Brandon on two separate occasions via email asking him to fix the issues, and received no response. On the second occasion, I informed him that if he did not fix the issues, I would be filing complaints with the state licensing as well as with the BBB.
Additionally, while by the time, my mother just wanted the construction to be done, I would also like to note that in the estimate Brandon had included the removal and rebuilding of a side entrance ramp. While he did replace the wood, he did not replace the rusty metal plate that was at the end of the ramp. read more
