Brand new construction of house. Sloppy poor workmanship. Deck with boards bending and coming loose that looks 15 years old when it is ONE year old. Roof leaking. Again, ONE year old house. I now have to replace entire roof. Large holes in shingles. Would not respond to communications. Then tried to charge nearly 20% more than the contracted costs. Would recommend you avoid these guys. Very dissatisfied customer here. And a leaky roof that repair folks showed me photos of, large holes in it. What? Brand new but done as if by amateurs.

My husband worked for them as a sub-contractor in April and we are still waiting to be paid. They tried to nickel and dime us until it looked like WE owed them money. Do not recommend these guys at all! Unprofessional and crooks.
