50% payment made up front with final payment to be done upon completion per the contract . We paid the 50%, and mid way through the work they pushed for a large partial payment. I said, the deal was for full payment upon completion.
As they were drawing close to the end, I inspected the work, and found some areas that needed work, and gave a thorough inspection report and they refused to do the areas, and demanded full payment. They also treated us horrible, for asking them to fix the few things. They were very disrespectful.
Now, we are having to hire other contractors to come in and fix their mistake. It appears that they may have done more damage than good on the foundation and it is going to cost me more than what our repair budget was times 3! (It appears that they did not know what they were doing and we are paying for it. Foundation work is out of their expertise.
They even botched the exterior paint job, and did not do proper prep work to ensure good paint adhesion. Within days it was evident and showed multiple locations of peeling and blistering. This too will have to be redone by other contractors to repair their work.
If you look, you will see only positive reviews for work done on fence jobs, deck staining, or small renovations.
I am also filing a complaint with Yelp to try and get money from the "Yelp Guarantee" to help us with the damage caused.
Last weekend they even posted a thing on Facebook with our picture and slandered us on a public forum, and now we are contemplating filing a defamation lawsuit as we are being attacked in public. We are not even able to give our side of the story. It is affecting our personal life, and people are treating us like we are scumbags. In the forum, even the owner of the company is calling us names even though we wrote them and tried to work it out and give them an opportunity to make things right. Not very professional at all.
Let the pictures tell the story. But, if needed, we can even give text messages of how we were treated so anyone thinking about working with them can understand how you can expect to be treated if you question their work. More pictures can be provided as well. We even have other reports from professional contractors showing their work discrepancies. read more
