Over the phone and during on-site consultations, they were very friendly and very nice. Then the first estimate came in--padded with items and tasks I didn't ask for. I chalked it up to a simple mistake or miscommunication. When I got the estimate for the second place and again saw it bloated, I realized it wasn't a miscommunication; they simply added unrequested tasks to drive up the bill (namely demolishing and rebuilding the entire shower when I only wanted controls moved). I'm not going to entrust renovations on my home to a crew that doesn't follow instructions during consultations. What guarantees would I have that they'd follow instructions on the job itself after being paid half the quote up front? Fast forward a couple months, I get a voicemail AND an email from their office asking whether I still needed their "help." No, I'm not hiring a crew that I would need to supervise to make sure they stay on task.

The purpose of this review is to acknowledge the outstanding work of "The Lifestyle Contractor" in…read morean extremely difficult situation. When I had my tile roof replaced by the same contractor who offered a roof replacement program to several residents in my community. The work went well until the final city inspection. The contractor did the work properly but shortly after the final inspection was ordered he file bankruptcy and completely ignored the steps to close the permit with the city. That is attending the final city inspection which would finalize and closed the permit. For years the permit remained open and was finally closed with a failed inspection stamp. A few years later at insurance renewal time, the insurance company required a new roof since the original permit was never finalized. A new tile roof is approximately $30,000. Needless to say, All the work was completed properly by the contractor, however performance was never proven to the city and years later the permit was closed as failed inspection due to contractor not being available at the worksite as required. To attempt to salvage the work and not invest in a new tile roof, I was referred to two consultants. The Lifestyle Contractor of Lake Worth Florida (Lifestyle). The firm was represented by MS Jane E. Snell and Ace Pro Roofing of West Palm Beach Florida. That firm was represented by Mr. Tony Tomaino (Ace Pro). Both parties are licensed in Florida. The goal was to reinstate the final roofing permit, Inspect and make a few repairs to cracked tiles, remove tiles to enough to prove to city officials the work has been done properly, and certify to the city and insurance company the work was completely in a professional manner, open the roof for city inspection and finalize the project with the city and the insurance company. The team of Snell and Tomaino, thankfully was the right call. Early on, I realized that Snell was the right person for the task. She knew what paperwork needed to be done, was prompt in returning phone calls, kept me advised of dates tasks would be completed, arranged for the proper personnel to be at the site and initiated all contractor meetings and paperwork required. I quickly learned this was a sophisticated and demanding task which was done in a professional manner from start to finish. Likewise Ace Pro was extremely professional, remained in contact throughout the project and worked extremely well with the Cities construction officials. In addition, they examined all parts of the roof to assure it was all in satisfactory condition. The Ace Pro team was extremely cooperative with the construction officials, did all the they requested and treated my roof as if it were their roof. They put the project back together promptly and attentively. While this review may be wordy, I cannot point to any area of responsibility that was handled in less than a professional manner which was driven by the attitude of doing the job RIGHT.

Overall Job Quality is acceptable but probably lower than average. They promise a white glove…read moreservice and don't deliver. Sales and Estimate:If you enjoy a 3.5 hour time sales pitch then have D&D give you an estimate. They initially said they needed 1 hour of our time, they came at 5:30 and left at 9p. They start with an estimate that is double most others, then work their way back hard selling the entire time. They claim all their workers are with the company - no contractors (lie #1), I specifically asked do they leave a cement mess in my landscaping: they claimed they have white glove service and no materials like rinsed cement etc are left on property (lie #2). Cancellation Process: After signing, we decided we signed under pressure and duress and needed more time. We asked about canceling and our request was ignored for 4 days, when they responded they said it had passed the cancellation period and that there was a $6,000 fee to cancel. The founder got on the phone after we escalated our argument. Stephen assured me he would make a special effort to "micro-manage the hell out of my project" and I would be extremely happy. I never saw or heard from him after that conversation. Project review: Pablo (nice guy and the only one that promptly responded when we had issues) came out to review the project, dimensions etc. Never saw or heard from Stephen the micro-manager during this process. Demo and base rock layer: (delayed 1 week because initial inspections failed.) Seemed to do an ok job of prepping the base layer. These contractors (not Deck and Drive employees) caused some sidewalk damage that was never repaired even after requesting D&D to repair and then saying they would. I expected any sprinkler plumbing near the driveway to be destroyed and it was, however I was told they would leave it exposed or marked where the remaining pipes were - I had to dig up the base layer to find and repair the plumbing. Never saw or heard from Stephen the micro-manager during this process. Install: Contractors (not D&D employees) did the install. They were nice and did an ok job, with the exception of not getting the dimensions correct as contracted and shown on plan. The second day when it looked like they were finishing, I asked them to measure and compare to the plan, they took the time to extend the width at that point to plan. The area between the sidewalk and street was never extended to meet the street, instead they put an asphalt patch to make up the 6-8 inch gap.The micro-manager might have caught this - if only he had stopped by. Overall the job was ok, better than the previous asphalt driveway but not as nice as I hoped for based on Stephen the micro-manager's promise. Btw, never saw or heard from Stephen the micro-manager during this process. Sealing: a couple weeks after the install someone came out and cleaned, resanded, and sealed the driveway. Meh, several gaps remained. Never saw or heard from Stephen the micro-manager during this process. Permits and Inspections: After a couple of weeks I noticed the inspections were not scheduled on the city website, I called D&D, their dedicated permitting office somehow missed this and scheduled the inspections, which failed the first time through. Never saw or heard from Stephen the micro-manager during this process. Customer Care and Followup: never ( I waited 3 months to post this review) heard from Deck & Drive to ask how it went. They simply never reached out to ask. They are focused solely on sales and not on customer satisfaction, it's like they could care less. I would be surprised if this company lasts much longer.

Our experience with Deck and Drive (D&D construction) has been extremely disappointing. From the…read morestart, the work was full of mistakes, poor workmanship, and almost no communication. Pavers were installed in the wrong direction and wrong colors, the walkway was placed incorrectly, cement was left exposed, no underlayment was installed under the sand (so now we have weeds growing up through our pavers), and then they even installed pavers over an active sprinkler head. They repeatedly missed appointments, sent crews during all-day rain (so no work could be done on those days), and ignored our requests for basic protection around our home. Before D&D even started our project, they told our finance company it was "substantially complete," and they tried to collect full payment. Then later, despite the project being nowhere near complete, D&D again told our finance company it was "substantially complete" and tried to collect full payment. Due to the lack of progress, the quality concerns, and D&D's refusal to provide a corrective plan in writing, we no longer felt comfortable allowing them to continue. In response, D&D placed a lien on our home and threatened foreclosure. To protect ourselves, we felt forced into having to hire an attorney to try to rectify all the issues. We have now been in this lawsuit for well over a year, with pallets and sand still blocking our driveway, and our front entrance is still not fully usable. Based on our experience, we can not recommend Deck and Drive (D&D Construction). This review doesn't even represent all of the issues we have with D&D in regard to our project. There are so many issues, we can't even write them all in this review. Instead of addressing legitimate concerns and correcting their mistakes, they chose to pressure, misrepresent progress, and ultimately sue and threaten to foreclose on their customers. We are not the only customers to be involved in a lawsuit against D&D. We are #5.
