BEWARE of This Contractor!
BEWARE - Before you even think about signing with Tekas Fire & Hood Installations LLC or Miguel Ortega Lopez, do yourself a favor: look up his contractor license history on the Washington State Department of Labor & Industries (L&I) "Contractor Lookup" tool. You'll see the trail - multiple complaints, lawsuits, and actions that speak for themselves.
In my case, I paid him over $22,500 as the first installment for a commercial hood installation. After the permits were approved and everything was ready for him to start, he completely disappeared - no work done, no communication, ignored calls, ignored texts.
After talking to other local contractors and the business owners who previously contracted with him, I learned this is not an isolated case. Several people in our area have been burned in the same way - he takes the money, vanishes, and leaves you stranded.
If you value your money, your time, and your sanity, stay away. This is not just a bad contractor - this is a serious risk to your project and your business. Do your research before it's too late. read more
