This is probably the saddest example of nice people who just don't know what they're doing :/. Hired Dave for a large raised deck with part having a roof, fencing, a stone patio and excavation for under deck parking. Pretty much everything you could imagine going wrong did, outside of a 2 week estimate lasting 4 months, the sewer line was hit, twice in the same day with an excavator bucket even though the location was known... It was repaired for an extra charge, and 4 months later had to be dug up and redone because the pitch went uphill instead of down pushing sewage back into my basement, and had a rubber t connection, installed backwards, which was also collapsed... Found this out the night before 5 friends planned to come up for the weekend, and had to cancel last minute since they wouldn't be able to flush the toilets during their stay. Also, the drain for the basement was torn out, never replaced and covered up with dirt. I only found out after 3 days of rain made my sump pump spew sewage tainted water like a geyser in my basement (due to sewer line issues noted above), so a new line had to be dug and installed. That and a drain had to be installed to direct the water pitched to pool against my footing to go to the road... For the metal roof added to the covered portion of the deck, they used caulk instead of flashing against the house, and tried to convince me it'd work the same, had to hassle them for weeks to add the flashing. Oversized gates were installed on the fence, only wanted 4ft, where 2 little brackets were added to support a 6ft gate that was also attached to a crooked post that had to be repaired twice so far. And when I went to park under the deck, my tires sank on one side, they tried to convince me it was rain water that wasn't drying because the deck was blocking the sunlight...turns out it was the french drain that was also broken during excavation and covered up with dirt instead of being repaired, so that line had to be installed. I now need to pay a professional plumber to inspect the work, obviously don't trust theirs, have my basement professionally cleaned, and lines scoped. These are just the highlights, soooo many other small things, and countless hours spent doing the work of a project manager since they don't have one, they will skyrocket your blood pressure and take time off of your life with the maddening mistakes. Even after all that, not bad people, but good Lord are they bad at the work...I really recommend you save yourself the long lasting grief... Pictures attached so you know that I'm not making this up... definitely couldn't make this stuff up... read more
