We contacted Sierra Custom Homes to build a granny cottage on my property (daughter) in Fresno. My mother paid over $9000 as 10% down and received a set of blueprints. Contractor came out to the property once to view location. That was the last we heard of him. He stole the $9000+ dollars from a senior citizen! This company is bogus! Found out the guy that we 'contracted' with didn't even have a license he was using a family members license. Contacted BBB several times to no avail. This Company is a Con Aritist especially for senior citizens... DO NOT USE!!!! Thief!!!!

It's a LONG story, but let me state that this contractor had to be constantly monitored. Workmanship was substandard in many areas, but also did just enough to pass County inspections. I had to constantly monitor his work and that of his subcontractors. He would provide or accept substandard work unless he was called on it. The absolute worst part of this entire project was that it took Sierra Custom Homes 1 1/2 years to build a 800 square foot structure and install replacement windows. Contractor would continually provide project completion dates which he did not keep and he was not honest, e.g. he'd say the supplier lost the order when it had never been placed, etc. It was very frustrating and stressful. It was the longest 1 1/2 years of my life. I finally had to file a complaint with the State Contractor's Board and the Better Business Bureau in order for job to be finished.
Description of Work: Contractor built a new second home on property and completed window replacement on original home on property.
