Jason and his crew were starting a project for my neighbour, which included a garage. My wife and I decided it would be a good time to also build our garage and arranged for The Woodworking Shop Inc to build it for us at the same time.
Work started in April 2018 and was completed in October 2018, after many delays.
Some work would be done, then we wouldn't hear from anyone for weeks, with no reason given. I learned afterwards that Jason had picked up several new jobs, and that was why they stopped working on ours.
The jobsite was left a mess every day that they worked, including nails, screws, garbage, and cigarette butts all over the yard. I had to have a flat tire repaired because of this, and only offered a "sorry" for my troubles.
Jason's workers also used building supplies I had purchased without my permission (and I was never re-imbursed).
The garage floor itself is not level and even after Jason had one of his workers come to fix the floor, it still pools water and does not drain properly.
Shortly after Jason advised me the project was finished, I came home to water leaking in to the garage from the walls, and Jason advised me he hadn't even inspected the final product himself before he asked me for the final payment.
While the finished product looks nice, closer inspection shows a lot of short cuts were taken. I attempted to finish the walls with plywood, only to discover that the wall studs are all at different measurements.
The conduit for the electrical that runs from my house runs through the middle of my yard despite repeated conversations with Jason regarding running it along the edge of my property (exactly as my neighbour's conduit was done) - the conduit itself was taped together with 1 layer of electrical tape.
The siding on the garage doesn't even go all the way to the ground with an exposed sections in our laneway where you can see the house wrap where there should be siding.
Jason's team also rebuilt the fence on my property line as they had demolished it prior and the fence itself is not straight, poorly constructed (there are screws sticking through the fence boards where they missed the 2x4s) and the gate they built already needs to be replaced as it can only be opened from one side, and has shifted already (no diagonal supports).
