Unfortunately, my experience echoes that of other users on this page and more unfortunately still, I only came across this page when it was too late (of course I did!)
I hired Yire's to carry out a painting and wall repair project, a copy of whose contract I am uploading as evidence of my interaction. The company made a bid of $10,000-somewhere in the middle of the eight bids I received at the time-and began work promptly. Several days later, however, they simply left without an explanation and-yes-without returning the keys or parking permit.
It took me weeks (yes, WEEKS) of trying to get in touch and, once I did, Luis Montenegro who works for the owner, Miguel Angel Hernandez, responded that the project would cost more (without stating how much more). When I pressed for a partial refund, Miguel Angel Hernandez simply responded with a curt "no es posible" (how charming Spanish is!)
As evidence of my claim, I am uploading the contract, edited to include what was completed and to what extent. I should note that the bulk of the assignment was the painting of the walls and ceilings as well as remedial action of the closet, neither of which was addressed. And therefore, while it may appear that they did some 25% of the work (one out of 12 items complete with another four out of 12 partially complete), the fact is that only the preparatory items were even begun.
In addition to the contract, I am also including the cashier's cheque paid as a 50% deposit.
Separate to this Yelp review, I recently began assembling paperwork to take the company to court. While conducting my due diligence, I uncovered a number of details which I believe should be noted in pubic. These are as follows:
1) Suspended License: Yire's license was suspended on January 15th, 2021 - the date that their insurance expired and was not renewed. This means that all the work they have performed, including that in my own building, was carried out illegally.
2) Lack of Insurance: Yire's cancelled their insurance policy twice: first on June 4th, 2019 and then again January 15th, 2021. I will not conjecture on the reasoning but will point out that it is expressly illegal to carry out work without insurance and that, in the event that a worker is injured or killed during construction, the client may be held criminally liable.
3) Lack of Bond: As they did with insurance, Yire's cancelled their bond policy on May 15th, 2021. Without a bond, it is difficult to sue the company for fraud, poor workmanship, etc.
I am uploading a copy of the three items above to substantiate my findings. read more
