My experience with Beyond Build & Power LLC ultimately resulted in arbitration, a court-confirmed…read morearbitration award, and a final judgment against the company.
I worked directly with Ken Jack (also known as Haim Jack and Shai Jack) and Jay Metzer on a concrete lanai, screen enclosure, and home improvement project at my home in Wesley Chapel, Florida.
Because prospective customers often research both companies and the individuals behind them before signing contracts, I believe it is important to identify the individuals involved in my experience:
* Ken Jack
* Haim Jack
* Shai Jack
* Jay Metzer
* Beyond Build & Power LLC
I paid more than $41,000 in deposits toward a patio, screen enclosure, and related home improvement work. What should have been a straightforward construction project became one of the most frustrating, expensive, and time-consuming experiences I have had as a homeowner.
The outdoor project involved a concrete lanai and screen enclosure. As work progressed, I became increasingly concerned about the quality of the site preparation, grading, engineering, permitting, and overall project management. Large portions of my lawn and landscaping were damaged, multiple holes were excavated throughout the project area, and the project was left unfinished. I later learned that significant portions of the work would need to be completely redone by a replacement contractor.
I also experienced substantial interior damage after a plumbing fixture was improperly installed. A slow leak developed behind a bathroom vanity and went undetected until major damage had already occurred. When the vanity was removed, extensive mold growth and water damage were found throughout the cabinetry, drywall, and surrounding materials. Cabinets had to be removed and replaced, walls had to be opened, and remediation work became necessary because of the damage caused by the leak.
When issues arose, I repeatedly attempted to resolve them directly with Ken Jack and Jay Metzer through emails, text messages, phone calls, and requests for corrective action. Communication eventually stopped and my concerns went unresolved.
I ultimately terminated the contract and initiated arbitration through the American Arbitration Association.
Beyond Build & Power did not appear at the arbitration hearing despite receiving notice. The arbitration proceeded based upon the evidence presented. Following the evidentiary hearing, the arbitrator found that Beyond Build & Power breached the contract, that I had sufficient grounds to terminate the agreement, and that the work performed before termination provided no value because it had to be completely redone by a replacement contractor.
The arbitrator also ruled in my favor regarding the plumbing leak and resulting property damage.
The arbitrator awarded me $46,851.81. On June 10, 2026, the Hillsborough County Court confirmed that arbitration award and entered a final judgment against Beyond Build & Power LLC in the amount of approximately $47,323 plus interest. The company did not defend the court action, and a default final judgment was entered. 【1-5e31be】
One of the most frustrating aspects of this experience is what happened after the judgment. Despite obtaining an arbitration award and court judgment, I have still not been able to recover the money owed to me. Collection efforts have required additional legal proceedings, expense, and time well beyond the original dispute.
Prospective customers should also be aware that public records associate Ken Jack (also known as Haim Jack and Shai Jack) and/or Jay Metzer with a number of other business entities over time, including:
* Beyond Build & Power LLC
* Haim & Shai Construction LLC
* Florida Clean Energy Incorporated
* AC/DC Solar LLC
* Tampa Solar, Inc.
* Solaroof LLC
* Sbuilders Florida, Inc.
* Ken Jack Builders, LLC
* MAGA Investments of Tampa Florida, LLC
* Sunshine Jack Investments, LLC
* Quality Production Builders LLC
I encourage anyone considering doing business with Ken Jack, Haim Jack, Shai Jack, Jay Metzer, Beyond Build & Power LLC, Florida Clean Energy Incorporated, Haim & Shai Construction LLC, or any related business to conduct extensive due diligence, independently verify permits and inspections, carefully review public records, court filings, and licensing records, and thoroughly document every payment and communication before providing substantial deposits.
What should have been a routine home improvement project instead resulted in property damage, mold remediation, replacement of damaged materials, arbitration proceedings, legal expenses, and ultimately a court judgment.
Based on my personal experience, I cannot recommend Beyond Build & Power LLC, Ken Jack (Haim Jack/Shai Jack), or Jay Metzer.
