Deck or Porch Repair

Hi Ethen, The day your Worker came out to repair my privacy fence I told you over the phone that the fence was very shaky and was not going to work if a strong wind came along. You promised that day that they would come back and finish the work and I started not to pay but you insisted they would return so I paid them. Two days later I called you to say that the wind was really causing the fence to sway back and forth in the wind that was taking place just before the start of a rain. Since that time I have left many messages and you have left messages assuring me they will call and set up a time to come out. None of this has happened. Monday I went out back to mow my back yard. In doing so I discovered that your Workers had removed and left all the old nails and the brackets which they did not reattach or replace on the deck and the ground. These bracket was connected to this very heavy post that supported the privacy fence and gave it the stability required. The only thing holding this very heavy fence up right now where these bracket were are nails and some of them was bent and not even nailed completely into the heavy post to connect it. So it is hanging very loosely and this is the reason why the wind can easily cause it to swing back and forth. Instead of a simple repair this has become hazardest issue involving safety. They also stepped on my gutter pipe and left it all bent up. This repair was a code enforcement violation issued by the Montgomery County Code Enforcement Division Inspector. You can go to the County Enforcement page and look it up: https://apps.montgomerycountymd.gov/dhca-eproperty I have alerted the Inspector to what GH Home Improvement has done. She further assured me she will be back out to inspect the work and noted what she said sounds like a Safety Violation. I will be seeking the County's assistance in helping me resolve this issue with your company but hoping that this will not be necessary. I trusted you by paying you even after seeing how shaky that privacy fence was before your men left because you said they would return and shoulder up the board so it would be firm. It's over a month of your promising to return. And how they left this job and me as a Senior Citizen worse off having now to deal with not only the repair of my privacy fence but also Safety issue as well. Your Workers deliberately did not replace the bracket that was in place on that fence and they knew that this was part of the problem why it shook so much and has still refuse to correct it. What I want you to do is to return my money!! because this is going to require more money and more work to hire a new company to take the fence down then take it apart again which is weakening the old boards that may need to be replaced now and reinstall the bracket that was taken off and then put the whole fence back up again. The other reason I am insisting on the return of my money because you have proven to me that you can not be trusted to do an honest job. I suggest you respond to me before the Inspector return. Also, Home Advisor has called me to inquire about your service and I have held off waiting for you to return. But now I don't want you to return. Just return my money!! I need to hear from you ASAP because I will be following up by notifying the other Montgomery county authorities with my complaint and they are not tolerant with a company that abuse Senior Citizens. . PS This is many months later and you never returned as you promise.

Early May of this year we decided to get our aging wooden deck resurfaced with TREX Composite Decking. We were connected to several contractors from the Pro Referral inquiry including G AND H Home Improvement (G and H). At the home visit, we discussed the deck resurfacing and materials and we asked the G and H Representative to also include a quote for a small patio at the entrance of our basement and to also repair the walkway leading to our front door. We received a quote and negotiated a formal price on May 23rd, 2019. We executed the contract on May 29th and paid our 1/3 deposit. Since that day, it has been an exhaustive back and forth with various members of G and H to get them to show up, do the job, deliver the materials, literally any consistency in the projects has been non-existent with G and H constantly making excuses. As of today, we have no idea when the projects will be completed. The full set of Deck Flooring and Railings have not been delivered. Also, the materials for the Patio, Retaining Wall and Walkway have not been delivered. And they made us pay them the second deposit *in order to quickly mobilize and complete the job.* The G and H team continues to make one excuse after another; often time chastising us for asking questions, as though they are doing us a favor. We have never received the formal Designs of the Patio or Deck as committed. We ask and plead daily for G and H to show up and finish the work or at least be consistent with showing up daily (as weather permits) to do the job. Each request we send is responded to with disdain, an excuse, some new delay or chastising us for asking. Work has now completely stopped, and the G and H team has now requested a revision of our contract and a new commencement date. They continue to blame us; berate us and have now completely stopped the job stating we are unreasonable. We have filed a formal complaint with the MHIC, the BBB, The Consumer Protection Agency and we will be filing a lawsuit against all members of the G AND H Home Improvement team.

"As long as we are allowed to finish a project even while on delays or other issues out of our control, we finish each and everyone of our projects. Customer was nice at first. Then, became belligerent with demands and timelines he set in concrete to be met in place which, we were not going to meet realistically. Asked him politely as I could under the big pressure me and my team found ourselves with weather and other delays, to please give me sometime to come and finish his deck. Gave him my word as a man I was going to finish his deck he worked in good faith with us. To which he made it clear threats of lawsuits, complaints, bad reviews, making it clear should we not submit to his unreasonable demands, we were facing great punishment from him in forms described above. He expressed he was going to put me out of business. We managed to survive even though we lost money on his project and we are still suffering the damages for it wasn't that long ago. In our entire history with "G and H Home Improvements, llc" we have not left a project unfinished! No matter the circumstances that had caused us delays in each project including the lost of money as it also happened with the dishonorable Douglas M. in New Market, MD who is a man with no morals in saying such things as we helped him during that super cold winter pass inspections so he could sell his property. Admitted to my team was a bad business decision from day one. But, we still finished his job. Right, Mr Douglas? We have finish every one of them, except Mr. C[Consumer name withheld at their request]. That because he decided not to work with us. He simply did not allow us to complete his project. Thank you."

They quoted a price and then asked for more money before it was completed.
Response from G & H Home Improvements, LLC
"We Power-washed 80 LF of Newly Installed Rails Plus about a 1200 Square Feet of your Deck including newly built stairs for minimum wage labor as he cried he had helped his buddy too much money already. We demolished previously Built Stairs Connecting a lower and upper deck at a height of about 12FT with three landings and about 80LF of newly installed rails around your old and new stairs. Corrected a long list of items which like the newly built stairs and Rails by your friend, failed the Frederick County Inspection which you were required to correct by a county order. All of which items, we demo and rebuilt, and corrected for only $3,750.00 for Labor and Materials. A project of such magnitude would've easily cost you around $17,000 if not more is priced correctly by the books. However, as I met with you that night and you expressed your frustration with all your money lost on that project, I, with my lead manager, made the decision to help you at a great money saving rate not for us to make any money, but to keep the workers busy for it was the cold season and have a happy customer who would hire us again for all his deck needs in the future. The biggest mistake on your project from our part didn't come out of "Never Think with your Heart when doing Business" But, in believing we could use a lot of the newly installed materials from the wrongly installed stairs with we had to demo by county order. By saving as much as we could from the wrongly installed wood we would save on the costs on materials needed, we thought. Then with whatever money is left, we would pay the workers their wages accordingly. Such was not the case. We miscalculated. We couldn't reuse any of the material previously installed for the newly required lengths were cut too short on the rails steps, rises, posts to the point everything had to be purchased including the lager bolts which couldn't be reused either for they were not even the right thicknesses. At this moment, it is when I reached up to you and informed you of the problems we were facing. That the price we have agreed upon was barely to cover for the materials. Your answer was that we have a contract. That it is my mistake and not yours. You were going to think it with your wife and you were going to let me know what you thought and decision on the issues were. Then, you came back and proposed we power-wash and stain your decks at the price of $1000-something and give us the extra $1000 to cover for your project expenses which was a great win-win situation for you from miles away. We agreed on it since it was indeed our mistake. Finished your project. Passed all inspections before the due dates in late March. I always kept in touch with you. Gave you update. Except for one occasion the crew didn't show up due to the severe cold weather around 15 degrees with high winds in your New Market, MD area and didn't inform me, so I didn't inform you in return as I would have done. Out of all the years we had been in the business, it was the first time I had wrongly calculated in the materials and let me tell you, it was a frustrating experience for me and my right-hand man who helped me through it. However, we made it. We finished your project. It passed all the inspections in due time. And, we were able to say "Mission Accomplished." This helps us as a reminder one simple mishap or mistake can definitely make the difference between a happy customer. And unhappy one. You sold your property thanks to our work. Had a clear idea on your personality after the way you treated the inspector assigned to inspect the project. You have no respect or morals towards those who work hard so you can live an easy life Mr Douglas."
