Working with V Built Construction and Chris, the company owner, was a disappointing experience. What initially felt like a good working relationship, even friendly, eventually became soured by what we can only describe as a lack of character and an almost improbable lack of integrity.
* V Built abandoned our job, leaving us to hire out the remaining work at our cost.
* V Built did not pay two of its sub-contractors in full after we had paid in full for their work.
* V Built accepted money that was not due to them, then refused to discuss the error.
* V Built ignored our repeated attempts over the course of several weeks to work with them on the finalization of our project and the compensation for the sub-contractors they still have not paid.
Abandoning the job and leaving us to clean up the work at our cost is inexcusable. Refusing to pay the two sub-contractors is nothing short of unprofessional and unethical. Those two guys, a couple of the nicest people we've met, did exceptional work, and they do not deserve that kind of treatment.
We have complete documentation to support each of these claims, and more, and we have filed a complaint with the California Contractors State Licensing Board in the hopes that V Built does not have the opportunity to expose any other potential clients to the same poor conduct and practices.
We would strongly encourage anyone who is considering working with V Built on any projects to be careful with your contract and with your payments. In fact, our attorney advised us that the contract V Built signed with us was, in our attorney's words, a "joke". If you still choose to work with V Built, please have your attorney vet the contract before signing anything.
We had really hoped that we could have worked this out with V Built, and we feel like we've done everything we could to make this right for everyone. We're good people, and it brings us no pleasure to post a negative review here. However, we cannot in good faith not report our experiences with V Built Construction to protect other good people out there. read more
