Overall they were likeable people but the wood posts for the deck were set into the dirt so they are subject to rot alot faster than if they had used deck supports. My husband was home recovering from minor surgery and was outside so he saw them set the plants and put a little rock around them without any top soil. We are enjoying the deck but we know it needs additional work and many nails are sticking out at bad angles. My last attempt to get Eric was to call his friend the deck contractor Mike Rodriguez and ask him about it. He said he would be seeing Eric that afternoon and would definitely call me back himself if Eric couldn't. I have not heard from either one of them. That phone call was the middle of July. I gave up after that. Here is a couple pictures: file://localhost/Users/bobnjanmorgan/Pictures/iPhoto%20Library/Modified/2011/Apr%2023,%202011/IMG_1346.JPG /Users/bobnjanmorgan/Pictures/iPhoto Library/Modified/2011/Apr 23, 2011/IMG_1337.JPG
Description of Work: Contracted owner Eric Marten to build deck and fencing around our above ground pool and then landscape with plants, rocks, etc. He is a very likeable person and had many great ideas. He outsourced the building of the deck and fence to another contractor and friend of his. Many items in the estimate and the "talking" stage of what to expect did not happen. Nails used instead of wood screws so wood is now warping. Gate was built improperly and began to sag in less than a week Top Soil was promised and that didn't happen so plants are alot lower than expected Promised and paid for 50 plants and there are only 42 As he ran out of plants he finished with whatever so its not symetrical, etc. Worse of all they never finished the job. They were supposed to come back and fix the gate and stain/seal the deck and fencing. We held out some of the final payment, but evidently that was not enough to entice them to come back and finish. Every time we called he was nicey, nice and said he was coming out either that day or the next and to date (8-18-2011) he has not come back. We recently contracted someone else to make a new gate and we have purchased the stain/seal so we can finish the job ourselves.
