Great experience. Came out within one day, which was critical since one car was trapped in the garage until spring could be fixed. Work performed as quoted, plus replaced hinge that was causing poor performance unbeknownst to us.

IT IS DEC. 7 AND THEY STILL ARE NOT DONE. I HAVE TALKED WITH EVERYONE, INCLUDING THE OWNER AND NO ONE CAN TELL ME WHEN IT WILL BE DONE. THEY JUST KEEP GIVING ME EXCUSES WHY IT'S NOT DONE. TERRIBLE EXPERIENCE. SALESMAN VERY CONDESCENDING. MANAGER, TODD, POLITE BUT JUST TELLS YOU WHAT YOU WANT TO HEAR, BUT DOES NOT CARRY THROUGH. EVEN THE OWNER, BILL, COULD NOT GET THE WORK DONE.

Response from JD Griffiths Company Inc
THE FOLLOWING COMMENTS ARE TAKEN FROM A LETTER SENT DEC. 15, 2004. THIS JOB WAS SOLD 7/22/04, HOWEVER WE DID NOT RECEIVE A SURVEY FROM THE CUSTOMER TO APPLY FOR THE BLDG. PERMIT UNTIL 8/26/04. UPON RECEIVING THE PERMIT, WE ASSIGNED THE JOB TO A DEMOLITION CREW. THE GARAGE WAS TORN DOWN ON 10/19/04, THE GRADING & SITE PREPARATION WORK FOLLOWED IMMEDIATELY THEREAFTER AND CONCRETE WAS POURED ON 11/2/04. LUMBER WAS DELIVERED AND THE JOB WAS BUILT ON 11/29/04. I OFFERED TO PAY FOR HER STORAGE AND LEFT IT OPEN FOR DISCUSSION WHAT AMOUNT THAT MIGHT BE. I ALSO TOLD HER THAT SHE WOULD HAVE A GARAGE SHE COULD USE FOR STORAGE BY THE WEEKEND OF 12/11/04 THE GARAGE WAS READY AS PROMISED. THERE ARE DELAYS OVER WHICH WE HAVE LITTLE CONTROL AND WHICH FROM TIME TO TIME CAN COMPOUND ON A JOB. I HAVE SPOKEN TO THE MEMBER AND HAVE CREDITED HER $236.00 (2 MO. STORAGE FEES). AS OF THIS DATE WE STILL HAVE NOT BEEN PAID. WE ARE OWED $6,199.00 WILLIAM GRIFFITHS PRESIDENT

THIS CUSTOMER BRIEFLY INQUIRED ABOUT OUR 90-DAY FINANCING OFFER, BUT DID NOT REQUEST IT. THE CUSTOMER SIGNED THE PROPOSAL FOR THE DOOR INSTALLATION AND NEVER MENTIONED THE FINANCING OPTION. HAD THE CUSTOMER TOLD ME THEY DEFINITELY WANTED THE FINANCING DEAL I WOULD HAVE GIVEN THEM AN APPLICATION TO FILL OUT AND THEN THEY WOULD HAVE FORWARDED THE APPLICATION TO OUR LENDER FOR APPROVAL. THIS IS ALWAYS DONE BEFORE ANY WORK BEGINS. ONE WEEK AFTER THE DOOR INSTALLATION, THIS JOB SHOWED UP WITH A BALANCE DUE ON OUR ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE LIST, WHICH PROMPTED MY PHONE CALL TO THE CUSTOMER. AT THIS POINT THE CUSTOMER SAID, "I THOUGHT YOU HAD 90 DAYS FINANCING". (THE PROPOSAL THEY SIGNED STATED PAYMENT IN FULL DUE UPON COMPLETION.) IT IS NEVER OUR INTENTION TO ANTAGONIZE A CUSTOMER. MY PHONE CALL WAS NOT IN THE LEAST RUDE AS ANY OF MY OFFICE CO-WORKERS CAN ATTEST TO.

Response from JD Griffiths Company Inc
THIS MEMBER CONTRACTED WITH US TO HAVE A SMALL SECTION OF CONCRETE REPLACED ADJACENT TO HIS AGARAGE IN THE ALLEY. WORK WAS DONE IN JULY OF 2001. DURING THE GRADING, THE GRADING FOREMAN ADVISED THE MEMBER THATIT WOULD BE RECOMMENDABLE TO REPLACE AN ADDITIONAL SECTION OF THE SIDEWALK THAT CONNECTED THE GARAGE AND HOUSE. THE MEMBER AGREED AND AGREED TO PAY FOR THE WORK. WHEN THE CONCRETE WAS POURED, THE DRIVER DELIVERED A SHORTAGE OF CONCRETE TO THE JOB. WE IMMEDIATELY RE-ORDERED THE ADDITIONAL CONCRETE THAT WAS NECESSARY TO FINISH THE JOB. UNFORTUNATELY, IT ARRIVED APPROXIMATELY 90 MINUTES LATER. DURING THIS TIME, THE CONCRETE THAT HAD BEEN PREVIOUSLY POURED HAD BEGUN TO SET UP AND FEATHERING THE FINISH BECAME DIFFICULT. I OFFERED HIM AN OPTION. WE WOULD REPLACE THE CONCRETE, OR HE COULD HAVE A CREDIT OF HALF THE AMOUNT OWED. THIS MATTER WAS SETTLED TO BOTH OUR AND THE MEMBERS SATISFACTION.

THIS MEMBER CONTACTED US AND INDICATED THAT SHE WAS UNHAPPY WITH THE ELEVATION OF HER CONCRETE DRIVEWAY IN THE FRONT AND ON THE FINISH. WE RESPONDED IMMEDIATELY AND INSPECTED THE JOB. OUR INSPECTOR FOUND THE ELEVATION CORRECTLY, PITCHES THE WATER AWAY FROM THE HOUSE AND GARAGE. THE MEMBER DISAGREED AND FILED AN ARBITRATION WITH NARI. THE ARBITRATOR AND THIRD PARTY CONTRACTOR INSPECTED THE JOB AND CONFIRMED THE ELEVATIONS TO BE CORRECT. WE REGRET ANY UNHAPPINESS SHE MAY HAVE ENCOUNTERED WITH THE JOB, HOWEVER, THE WORK WAS PERFORMED IN A TIMELY AND PROFESSIONAL MANNER.
