Basement Renovation, Kitchen Cabinets and Garage Epoxy Work
- Approximate cost of services:
- $76,000.00
This is guy A**** V****** thinks he does not have to pay because the job is 90% completed. Scope of work: demolition of kitchen and living room area space. New potlights, kitchen and living room area, plumbing, hvac, new sub floor, new vinyl flooring, new kitchen cabinets, new baseboards and crown moulding for new kitchen, painting of work space area. Note all these things were completed by us.
We had some stand off with this customer; one he thought electrical panel upgrade was included because we quoted him 14 potlights for the kitchen and living room area. After a lengthy stand off and a few quotes he got it done privately. His wife shouted they have faulty electrical and was looking electrical upgrades for some time, he told her to shut up and go into room. Our electrician was going update the city of faulty electrical wiring and cleared his name. He advised us that we cannot put any dry wall back in this area extreme fire hazard.
We advised him Akhil that a sample floor he has is a template and vinyl floor does not come 3/4 inch, he insist. After we purchase the floor it was only 1/8 inch thickness and the floor area needed to rebuild with new sub floor. We waited one week for him to decide because he is not going over his budget. He signed to have the new sub floor put in but we never got paid for this.
He had faulty gas connection which we had to call an emergency gas company to rectify the gas smell and put in new gas pipes, he signed but we never get paid for this.
We completed all scope of work and contacted the quartz countertop company to go by and rectify the measurement, he cancel the quartz and company. We called to find out and was told he does not need our service anymore.
He owed us over 10,000 from final invoice and the only thing was missing was the quartz stone for the counter top and back splash a 2400 value. Again he cancel the stone company and get another because he does not want to pay us our balance on contract. We did put a lien on this property and motor vehicle belonging to him. This guy another A**** V****** who does not want to pay for work received, using these platforms as a basis to leverage distance
We were hired by L** M****** to do some work in his basement. The basement was partially finished. He wanted work only in the unfinished areas at first. After onsite demolition it was discovered that his electricals were deemed not to be up to code and required some new work. After a week of standing still getting in some 5 different electricians opinions, he decided he is going to do the upgrades. He hired the first electrician we brought there Syed, who is from indian his country man. He never paid Syed for the new worked and for the work on the main floor which was exclusive of the agreement with New Point. This was an agreement with Syed company which cases some contumptuous relationship between us and our electrician. Syed called him quote" I c** s**** a i***** c*** r**** w*** I s** o**"
However we continued working and create new deposit terms to ensure we get pay which was agreed upon. After completing much of the work and having laminate flooring, paint and all supplies onsite to finish off the work, our payment stop coming as agreed. We updated him Lal Mathews we were not interested in finish all worked and there is the issue of nothing getting paid.
He even removed some of our original scope of worked like stair case wood finishing to substitute for the new electrical which he agreed to with the electrician outside of my presence. His "comment was I am not going outside my budget no matter what". L** M****** stand and watch my guys worked 8 hours a day, some of my guys was uncomfortable that they get up and left. They felt like this man was creeping in the dark and watching them. His comment was he needs to see everything because our prices are cheap.
We had issues with i***** guys not paying after job complete like (NAME REDACTED BY BBB DUE TO PRIVAY CONCERNS) - who turn a 220,000 profit from our work and still owes us 17,000. He block all channels from communication with us and even called police to say we are harassing him. Our worked got him that profit and he refuses to pay us his comment " our lien right is gone he does not have to pay". After waiting on payment for a while
Again after seeing his actions with his country man Syed our electrician, we deemed L** M****** same b****. Every single day was a dispute over scope of work and cost - him trying to save money.
As we said to him before we left, after closing up all dry wall it is near impossible for the trade coming next to catch on with all that is going on. I guess he experience that from his last comments
A******* S**** and N***** S**** hired us to complete renovation to their turn key project. Anshuman and his deposit schedule was always 5,000 or less by e-transfer not following payment schedule agreed upon. He always needed to see progress before releasing next payment of 3,000 sometimes he takes days to show up and released payment. There was many delays as with covid, home depot and hardware stores getting supply, inspection delays etc. He needed his project to be finished for end of march 2021 and he delivered even with the delays which we could not control. Bottom line he was very happy with our work and was very excited to list it on the open market for sale. He owes us 17,600 and told us he was going to send an etransfer of 5,000 and balance by cheque. After a while I notice no payment came and try to contact him. His response was he does not have to pay me and my lien rights are gone. I then look into this further and realized he sold the property. He bought at 560k and sold at 880k and refuses to pay our company the 17,600 owed and we did 100% of the work.
After refusing to pay us he even called authorities on us trying to bill case saying we threatened him for our payment.
