Absolute. Nightmare…read more I got 5 estimates on a complete fence replacement. Ended up choosing Payless because Ben seemed very personable and had good Google reviews... I learned pretty quickly that I had been duped, and not to always trust Google reviews. There were multiple changes to the start date. Originally 4/21, then 4/23, then 4/28, then 4/30, then 5/5. Communication was poor at best - mostly, it was only when I reached out to him that I learned it was delayed yet again. He offered stump removal as a service for $150/hr. He showed up with a small grinder that was in no way adequate for the large stumps and two day laborers who were in no way skilled to do it. Grinder kept smoking and cutting out, and the guys were trying, but could only shave off parts of the stumps little by little. Ben had left, so I called him and told him to have them stop. He came back and was extremely agitated and argumentative. I asked him to calm down and said we needed to be able to have a normal conversation, but he wouldn't... Why would he bring the wrong equipment and guys who didn't know what they were doing? "That's all Home Depot had," and yelled, "I'm a FENCE guy, NOT a stump grinder guy!" His behavior made me extremely uncomfortable... So much so that I asked if I could just pay him for the one section of fence he took down and cancel the contract. He sneered, "Go ahead and cancel it, but you're not getting your deposit back." Mind you, not one bit of material had been delivered at this point, even though he had said he'd be bringing it and never did... Later, I received a text demanding $225 for the grinder rental before he would proceed with any work. I paid it (regrettably) -- I just wanted him to finish the work and be done... I paid to have the stumps ground by Davey Tree Service. Once he resumed (3 days later) he arrived far later in the day than he said he would - this would prove to be an ongoing issue. There was no fence between me and my neighbors, and I asked him to let me know when he'd be coming so they could keep their dog inside - he didn't do that, either... All of the delays resulted in my having to take additional days off work and cancel a planned vacation. Days later, I finally had ONE section of fence done. The day he was to start on another section, he texted me to say he was "Still figuring out post situation. Going have to go a different route and dig and set 10 ft posts." When I questioned this, as the contract stated that 12 foot posts would be used, he replied, "Also I have to weld up 2 more feet onto 10 ft posts since we are going according to contract, because I'm not spending what they're asking for them." Total breach of contract!! What he did with the $9,000 I gave him, I'll never know... It sure wasn't used to buy materials for my fencing. At this point, I'd had enough - told him not to come back until he heard from me. I needed to speak with my attorney, for sure... I also started doing a bit more digging into Payless Fence (I SHOULD have done this before I hired him and gave him a ton of money - kicking myself for this everyday...) His website had been taken down (he had one when I hired him,) he has NO business license and his LLC is delinquent. Wondering if he's gone out of business, left town, or ??? The old fencing had just been piled up in the alley behind my neighbor's. I asked when he'd be taking it away, heard nothing, texted him back 3 days later, and he said he'd be coming to get it that weekend. He never did. So I called 1-800-GOTJUNK -- $980 to have it hauled away. AND - no pressure-treated rot board on the one section he did, as in the contract. AND he didn't install a gate to replace the old one he tore down, which resulted in a clear opening from the street into the backyard. So I had to hire someone to build and install a temporary gate immediately for security purposes. I'm now in a credit card dispute through my credit union, have sent him a demand letter for what he owes me, and will pursue it in Small Claims Court if there is no resolution. I will update here.

Worst Handyman I have ever hired.

I did not discover the hole until my dog got out a few days later. It was hidden behind trees on a terrace. -His contract says payment is due when the job is done. He asked for payment claiming the job was done, knowing it was not. -He knew I had a dog and had no regard for my dog getting out of the yard. When I discovered the hole days later and alerted Steve on your Side, Alexander the Great ( Alex Valdez) "replied all" stating he told me about it and he was going to come back to fix it if I provided more chain-link fence. This is the definition of gaslighting. This was the first I had heard from him since final payment. He never informed me the job was incomplete, nor did he inform me he left a hole my dog could escape through. -He reused chain link fence that fit across the repair area before his work. The galvanized steel chain-link fence did not shrink (sarcasm), it was his lack of skill/ not properly stretching it tight, It is laughably wobbly. He hand dug post holes instead of using a posthole digger. He went around tree roots instead of cutting them so the fence is crooked. He hand twisted wire around the galvanized poles I purchased for the project, instead of using the professional clips which I also purchased. I have video proof of the poor workmanship which I am saving for court. -I pointed out to him he asked for final payment per his contract because the job was completed. If he knew the job was incomplete why did he ask for payment? He did not respond to this question. -At that point I asked for a refund of $1000 which is reasonable based on the lack of quality of work done, the fact I have to hire someone else, and the inordinate total amount of time I have spent dealing this man attempting to get my repair completed. He refused to stretch the fence properly, refused to subcontract someone who is competent at fence stretching and would not compromise with a refund. He demanded I buy more fence to make an extension--which will compound the plight of the laughably wobbly crooked fence. -I told him I will be posting my experience on social media and pursue legal means to remedy. His response, "Do as you wish" then threats against me obviously written by AI: if I do post my experience on social media there will be some kind of repercussions. If he has nothing to hide, it shouldn't be an issue for me to post my experience with his business. Complete lack of professionalism. ***Most upsetting part of this: Absolutely no responsibility taken for the lack of communication regarding the hole in my fence and the fact that my dog could get out. He has Never addressed this. Definition of Irresponsible. ++I hope others can learn from my experience.++

He's also prompt at first and will give you an estimate in a day in my experience. But that's where it ends. I had to work for all the future communications. I'm the one who asked for the estimate and initiated all the follow up. He would only respond after I asked. After he said he would do the job on a Friday I tested him on his word. That Friday came and went and heard nothing. On my last email to follow up, he again gave me a new start date and wanted to pick up a deposit check before he started. Be cautious with these guys. #### Responding to Jorge's comment 4-7-23 #### I'm well aware of the quote and statement that required a deposit before work started. And I was ready to do so. But, as I said in my last email (that you never replied to) I was nervous cutting a check because I was leading the project communications in this. I didn't 'feel' like I was. I really was. I have receipts. Anyway, I asked you in that email whether or not you would be ok if I gave a check when you started instead of before BASED on this pattern. No response. So, I don't know. I am currently in the middle of soliciting other quotes for the project but will be open-minded if my business is still something you want to have and earn back.

In doing so, ACI damaged significant damage to our home on things such as the basement framing, custom stained concrete, outdoor fence, outdoor stone work and insulation, to name a few. Furthermore, ACI left concrete splatter all over the city sidewalk, which remains to this day. Workers tracked mud and dirt throughout our house, hardwood flooring, laundry room and garage. Joe lack communication skills. At one point, Joe showed up at our house at around 6:30 AM with zero notification. I had left for work and Joe rang the doorbell startling my wife. Joe then texted me at 6:34 AM stating he was at our house. What kind of contractor does this? No different than the review from 12/12/2018, Joe asked for additional money outside of the contract. So you now have two scenarios where he's established his pattern of asking for additional money. In our case, we have a contract that clearly stipulates the price for the work. However, we now have to recover for significant damages caused by his company. When conducting a walk through with Joe of the damages caused by his company, he didn't acknowledge any of them. Instead, he opted to make disparaging, unprofessional and disrespectful comments to us; the customer. As a result, Joe was asked to leave our house. Take note: The company is NOT registered with the Better Business Bureau, however we are working to file a complaint. We also had to contact the city of Aurora to notify them of damages caused by ACI to city property. We are now moving forward with legal proceedings to recover payment for damages caused by ACI. We have plenty of photographs of the damage and only wish we could post them here for everyone to see. I echo the last line from the 12/12/2018 review, "Do not waste your time!"
