Final Grade, Sod, Planting Trees and building of a fence
We hired Jay n son on April 15th and we had a deadline of June 13th. Repeatedly, we were given timelines and people would not show up. We got excuse after excuse. That was when we could get a hold of them. A lot of the time we would get a cell and the voice mail was full. We would ask them to call our cells concerning the job and they would leave a message on the home phone, trying to avoid us. The entire time that they had the contract they completed 2 days of work, completing the fence that they had to build and drilling holes for piles which they did not fill. Here we are at the end of July, facing fines for the job not being completed in time for the city and the HOA. It is July and we do not have the yard done as planned and we have big holes in our back yard and a fence. We had to fire them and seek someone to finish the job during the busiest time of year, which was next to impossible.
They requested money upfront (50%) for the job. We paid the deposit understanding that they had to pay for materials. Thankfully they completed the fence at least that covered the cost of the deposit. I do not recommend that anyone hire this company or Echo Contracting which is the "people to make the cheque to." Please steer clear of this company so that this does not happen to you. Lesson learned.
