RDS Home Improvement

Contract signed for one amoount of $18,000. But when jobs were done. Ended up costing approx. $37,000. Remodeled bathroom, kitchen, and built Room addition. Alot of carpentry mistakes on finishing touches in kitchen. A roof vent in room addition that goes nowhere. Oh left a window in bathroom that was to have been removed.

When Bobby Sisk (owner of the company) did the estimate it was approx. $2,000. This amount went up to almost $4,000 because he said that he didn't include the price of the stairs in the initial estimate. I told him the way I wanted the deck built and he said I wouldn't like that so he built it the way he wanted it to look. Many of the boards were cut too short which left big gaps where none should be and the boards are not even at either end which gives the deck a very unprofessional look. He cut the siding on my house too high (and crooked) so now you can see the crooked cut and the white insulation material underneath the siding. He didn't even bother to put down a piece of trim to hide the mistake. Several of the boards were not even screwed down properly, I had to do this later. The rail going down the stairs is crooked and quite obviously so. The long rail on the front of the deck actually fell off when I leaned against it and 4 of the seven steps fell down. These issues were due to the contractor not installing the proper anchoring. I have since fixed these myself. He also installed rails along the bottom of the deck so I could enclose the area below the deck and stairs, but most of these fell down too. In all fairness, I did not call the contractor back to fix the issues. Based upon his first attempt, I didn't think the second would be any better.
