Took our money and ran

This is a warning to anyone who thinks about using this company or Darryl and Kayla the owners. I have used them several times and every time has gotten worse, until the most recent time where they took our money and refused to finish the project. They left us with a partially finished project and completely upset our lives. They even refused to remove garbage and debris from our property. In fact, they have recently even shut down their company website, so be very wary. They don't really seem to have anyone but one tradesperson named Dave working for them anymore. And several sub-trades have said to me that they won't work with them anymore. If you are currently working with them you may want to check them out carefully. They are pompous, untrustworthy, unprofessional and most recently Darryl, one of the owners, said to me that he hates working and dealing with clients. Darryl's attitude is that clients work for him. They have so little concern for clients now that he actually said that we can't tell them what to do as we are ONLY the clients. Wow, that speaks volumes to what they think about the people paying them. Be aware that they are also grossly overpriced and their quotes are significantly higher than almost any contractor you will find.

Approximate cost of services:
$60,000.00

Company Response

some of this is factual and most of it is not. it is truly a shame that our relationship had to end the way that it had. his family is lovely. his kids used to give me hugs and be excited for me to come by.
i will respond to this ridiculous review sentence by sentence.
-it is true that we have done a few projects for this client. i find it odd that he would use us repeatedly if we got worse everytime. weird. if you look through our other reviews on this site you will see that this same client has removed 2 10 out of 10 glowing reviews about us.
-we did not take their money. we have in fact walked away from approximately $10,000 to get away from -this unreasonable and overbearing client. if anything he owes me $10,000.
-we did leave them with a partially finished project. we felt that we could no longer work for this abusive and rude client. i didn't like how i was being spoken to or treated.
-we never refused to remove the garbage from their site, we simply were unable to do it immediately when the client demanded we do it.
-our website is not shut down, it is being redone.
-our site supervisor's name is dave. we had multiple sub-contractors in their house so i am not sure what he is referring to here. he might be confused with the people that refused to work for me on his house ever again. this is how this client operates. he lies and bends peoples words to his benefit. he is a master manipulator. he is always trying to squeeze everything out of everyone. i feel sorry for his wife who is a very nice woman.
-anyone who knows us knows that we are far from pompous, untrustworthy, and unprofessional. it seems to me like this client xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx is looking at himself in the mirror because this describes himself perfectly.
-it would be hard to be in this business for as long i have been and to work on the quality projects i work on if my attitude was that the clients work for me. this client is just upset that he did not get his way and he is crying like the little baby that he really is.
-the rest are more lies and not really worth responding to.
this is the result of a rude control freak who has finally been stood up to and not given what he wanted. he really deserved a punch in the mouth
