He was done that afternoon!! And great work too!! Would definitely recommend Sonny Wences Painting! Now on to sell the house!!"

"I love the fact that they were not afraid to offer different suggestions. And even though I thought I had in my mind a pretty good picture of what I wanted, it wasn't until I was able to see how much better there suggested color palette and design worked better for the space. They take their time and pay attention to details. They did other work outside the scope of the plan and didn't charge extra. I will be hiring them again for future projects."

"AHS is ok. They cover repairs of most everything under the roof of your house. The companies that contract with them are not always the best. You call AHS with the issue, they send a fax to the repair company and give you the contact info. If they don't contact you within 24 hours, you call them. Sometimes they answer, sometimes they don't. When they arrive (usually three days or so later), they service the item. if it has issues within the 90 days, you call AHS again, they are sent out with no charge. If the serviceman decides the unit is unrepairable, AHS will allow you to choose a replacement from their listing (usually not as good as what you have) they will install and remove your old item, or give you wholesale amount to buy and install your own. Prices vary on what you want covered and what you want the copay to be, plus where you live. For me it is 49.99 per month with a 75.00 time of service order. You can have more than one item serviced at the same time under the same fee. If you have a SEAR product the repair guys are great. Not that wild about the other ones they send out. But it is a big savings compared to calling someone on your own. The cost of service is only the 75.00 copay."

"Robert and Glenn talk very fast and both mumble, so it is difficult to understand them. Each conversation has to be repeated so we can understand clearly what was to happen. 

Previous foundation work by LevelCheck in 2002 paid $8,450.00 (22 piers outside) (7 interior piers) some piers were placed on concrete blocks; no i-beams were place which did not insure the integrity of the foundation. Since we've had severe movement inside and outside, cracks on ceilings, walls, window movement/broken, windows open with difficulty, as did doors, some doors did not latch and were crooked in the frame and there are cracks in the new siding, ?Hardiplank,? outside. (The previous company "LevelCheck" gave us a "Lifetime Guarantee" BUT ARE NO LONGER IN BUSINESS . Make sure whomever you choose to do your foundation, they have a good reputation and have been in business for a LONG TIME, AND SOLUBLE!!)  VERY, VERY EXPENSIVE LESSON!!

The total cost was approximately $37,000.00. BUT the first contract was $18,000, required a $10,000 immediate payment with a $4,000.00 check when piers are ?ready? and another $4,000.00 after the ?flowable fill material? (slurry concrete) is poured. (Giving a 10% discount off original quote before the $18,000) The 2nd contract required a $10,000 so already paid $20,000 and only into 5 hours of work. Another payment due on the 21st when they found more plumbing problems under both bathrooms. Of course, another payment was asked for when the plumber came. Glen ultimately wanted the final payment before the work was completed. We had never worked with a contractor before that wanted payment before the work was done. Really poor business practice. We were having work done through the week before Thanksgiving and several of the workers left town and went to Mexico. Work continued, but only with a couple workers.

I could never get a clear answer on whether they were going to go through the garage to access the load bearing wall. I asked several times. The foreman decided to dig from the back of the house and the midline over to that wall (then Glen told us he hadn't charged us for 6 feet of tunnel, which was included in the first contract.) How can we tell, other than what we see and hear? We certainly weren't going to crawl in the tunnels ourselves. In my opinion, that was a miscue between the boss and the foreman.

They worked through Nov. and part of Dec before they started to level the house. When they started working on the wall between the dining room and the kitchen, the wall went right through the ceiling a couple inches. The front door is still out of square, as are the front windows. They are still extremely hard to close. When I told Robert the floor was still not level he said, "I told you I couldn't promise everything would be level," Well, what is the point of paying to have the work done??

They were supposed to check the existing piers and shore them up, but when I continued to ask if they would lower the east wall, they said they had not found the previous piers. Whenever we would point out to Glen that we had already had a tunnel dug under the house before, or pipes repaired, or already had piers placed, he always had an excuse for why he "needed" more money. He had to have money to pay the plumber beforehand; he had to have money to pay for 2 cement trucks of slurry beforehand, he had to have money to pay his people; had to have money because he was going to Austin. Really? Just poor business!

After Christmas, they sent a couple men to backfill. They were supposed to place pvc pipe under the house to allow the slurry to be pumped under the house, They backfilled a 14 foot tunnel with no pvc and another 10 foot tunnel on the other side of the house without putting a pvc. They had had to stop work because of the rain. The next day when we noticed the tunnels filled and asked about the pipe they dug a little way on one side of the house and placed a pipe. It certainly was not as far into the tunnel as it had been dug. Then on the 14 ft tunnel no pvc. When they came to pump the cement truck hardly used all slurry, and certainly not 2 trucks filled for which we paid. When Mark asked Glen about it, he said he had given us other discounts. That wasn't the point; our concern is what about the 1 foot gap between the cement and foundation that didn't get slurry pumped up under the foundation?? I am sure within a short time we will have the dirt compacted and another gap between the foundation and the ground. Then we will have to pay another foundation company to level our house again.

We have had 3 or 4 friends come asking us who did our work, and we refuse to recommend them.
