Where do I begin? If there was a minus I could probably use it. I am only spending time writing this review because I hope nobody EVER will have to work with United Drying again and experience the unprofessionalism and the incompetency of it's owners/officers. This company is a nightmare from the beginning to the end. When I mean beginning I mean the head of the company. David A, the worst customer service (or lack thereof) I have ever experience. For an owner of the business, it is just shocking. However, it does not stop there, the office staff and other administrative people were just as bad. I guess, birds of the feather flock together. We had a sewer problem back in February. Our plumber fixed it and recommended United for remediation, abatement, and repairs. They came out right away and left a couple of pieces of equipment for a couple of days and charged "emergency" fees even though the workers were there for less than one hour just to plug in the equipment. After that was done, It took forever to get a quote, for the repairs. When we finally got the quote, we almost chocked. My handyman said he was going to fix it for $2,500 and United submitted the quote to the insurance for over $16,000. When I questioned it, I was told that it was inflated because that is how the insurance covers it. There is no better way to translate "insurance fraud". That should have been a huge red flag, but I was in a hurry to have the place back up and available for my commercial tenant. After the insurance, approved it, United did not start the work until more than a week later. I left messages with the office and the owner asking for updates and asking to have the insurance check endorsed so I can pay them but no response. 10 days later we got a call from the owner threatening to place a lien on the property and pull the workers off the job because we didn't pay. I repeatedly told him that we had payment and asked United how to handle the payment but we never heard back. Very rude, unprofessional, and completely out of line, threatening a customer who was waiting to pay for 10 days!!???. I drove one hour to Temecula to meet with one of the workers in order to have the check endorsed and deposited in their bank account and that was another nightmare. David said that he has so much cash flow through that bank so they will just process the check very quickly. Just not through. SDCCU refused to deposit the check, just as I told David. I had to go to my own bank and endorse it properly and then the next day went back to SDCCU to meet with a United representative and deposit the check. This all could have been avoided if United returned by calls and provided information on how to handle the payment. Needless to say that, while this was going on, David pulled the workers off the job and missed the deadline by another week. When it was all said and done, we had 12 weeks dragging this project that could have been completed in 2 weeks. We felt horrible for the actual workers and their project manager Michael, who were very professional, and hard workers. How can anybody work for such a bad company and such a bully, rude owner, it is beyond my comprehension. I hope any potential customer reads this before diving into this nightmare of the company. read more
