On 12 October 2022, I terminated the Restoration Group services due to their unprofessionalism, unresponsive, constant delays, and the fact that one of their workers committed theft, stealing my wedding ring set from my home. I returned to my Delaware residence the week of 10-14 October 2022, specifically because Roxanne Murray stated that the Restoration Group would have all the renovation work completed within 4 days. She stated this to my daughter the week before, when they worked for 2 of the 4 days. Therefore, they would need only 2 days to complete the work during the week of 10-14 October. My daughter advised Ms. Murray that the workers could come to work on any day Monday through Thursday (10-13 October). Roxanne subsequently informed my daughter that the workers could not come to finish up until Wednesday and Thursday (12 & 13 October), despite originally stating to my daughter that they would come on Monday and Tuesday. I was never given a time when the workers would arrive. My daughter informed me that the workers had previously arrived at approximately 8:00 am, so I opened the garage door as I was expecting them to arrive on Wednesday, 12 October. When they had not arrived by 9:30 am, I called Ms. Murray, who advised me that they were coming but did not know when or what they would be working on that day. I called back at approximately 11:15 am because they had still not showed up. At this point, Ms. Murray stated she did not know when or even if they were coming. When I informed her that I had an appointment at 3:00 pm, she stated that I had already agreed to be available all day, as if I was expected to wait until the end of the day and hope the workers showed up. At this point, I called back and informed Ms. Murray that the services were no longer needed and that I would hire someone else to finish the work. This incident is consistent with previous behaviors demonstrating their unprofessionalism and lack of reliability, such as:
* Frequently did not show up when Ms. Murray said they would;
* Workers lied and said nobody was home, but they failed to knock on the door (September 2022) and did not show up the next day even after Mr. Murray said they would;
* Ms. Murray failed to provide itemized reports/comparison of material costs, despite my repeated requests; * I received an invoice on September 6, 2022, for $4,830 due by September 21,
2022, before they had even started any work; * Scott (Project Manager) failed to show up on several occasions, and Ms. Murray could not provide a reason for the no-shows;
* Ms. Murray aggressively informed me that she did not receive several emails from me despite referencing the contents of those emails to my daughter to include my email objection, dated September 25, to pay $4830 for work not even
started; * No one from the company followed up with me after I reported to them that my ring had been stolen while their crew was working in my house; and * Ms. Murray and Alexis Vickers made several false statements during a telephone conversation on September 29, 2022. read more
