"My experience with this company was not to my satisfaction. Please contact me directly if you'd like more details."
This is what I posted after I was personally messaged by the owner of SCS to edit this review. It's worth mentioning that my updated review is being posted after the owner's remarks.
Please hire SCS immediately! Call them right now!
I definitely did not want to update this review. When the owner of SCS contacted me privately on Yelp, asking me to change my "harmful proclomations"[sic], I thought I would simply delete my review.
I could not. I did not hire SCS. After the explosion of my neighbor's house in August 2016 severely damaged my home, my partner signed a contract with Aquire Restoration of Madison.
Aquire hired SCS to perform tasks to repair our house. I met several SCS employees walking through our damaged home. Several of the SCS employees were very respectful, which I mentioned in my now deleted review.
It is frustrating that I, the end user of SCS's purported services, need to "bring to light" the remarkable unprofessionalism of this company. The fact that it took over a year for the company to understand the inconsistent and appalling circumstances of some of their employees' work should give you a notion of how the company is operated.
Apparently the owner of SCS takes no responsibility for the work executed by the company. Rather, the blame is somehow placed on the victims of the explosion itself and SCS's actions. I have never contacted SCS directly; they were hired by our remediation company, Aquire.
Awareness and oversight of the work by SCS seems to me like a responsibility of senior staff, if not the owner, of SCS. Since my Aquire Restoration Project Manager was responsible for handling all sub-contractors, I never contacted any of our many sub-contractors personally. That was specifically the remediation work that we paid Aquire to do. Since much of our property had been destroyed, my partner and I had very many things to take care of. I sincerely hope none of you reading ever have to do the same.
The owner of this company seems to have focused ire on me, a humble Yelp member. I've never met nor spoken to this person. I was told the owner was Brent, a person I saw twice over 18 months, and he seemed to be a very nice guy. I only learned about this owner when I was intimidated to change my Yelp review. It was not a public response. This owner contacted me privately through Yelp.
I've certainly posted negative and positive reviews on Yelp before. That's sort of the point of the platform. We want to give other Yelp users an informed opinion of a business they might patron. Often owners that receive a negative review respond with an apology and an invitation to try them again.
The fact that the owner of SCS is attacking me on Yelp should give you some idea of SCS's priorities.
But please, pretty please, hire SCS to work on your home! They paint! They put up drywall wherever you want (even over your electrical outlet!). They might even kick a hole into your drywall (you know, for ventilation)! Hire them now! I really wish you would pay them money now.
I hope your business would make them busy enough to leave me alone. read more
