Still waiting for our work to get done. The job was suppose to take a week, but now its been about 7 weeks and the job is still not done. Don't use this guy. He contracts out to sub-contractors who are unreliable and very, very slow.

Still doing work over here on Par 4 Drive in King City. Its been over six weeks for a two week project. Nobody shows up for days, then a few people show up. This guy is very slow. I think they should rename their business to Christmas Construction, because that's how long it will take for them to get the job done...Christmas times!
