    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unresolved
    I hired A1 Waterproofing in Feb /22 after discovering water in the back porch of my recently purchased home. The owner/operator, ****, was initially responsive, but I quickly began to see signs of unreliability (eg. not showing up at agreed-upon times, with no advance notification). Nevertheless, the job proceeded and was completed in April /22. My complaint pertains to the subsequent commitment made by **** in early /23 after I discovered that the waterproofing his company completed hadn't fixed my water issue as guaranteed. When I called **** about this on 9 Feb /23 he said he stands behind his work and would resolve the problem. In the weeks that followed, he didn't show up at several agreed-upon times and stopped answering my communications. I called his cell and company numbers repeatedly and left many voicemails. On 5 occasions, I couldn’t leave a voicemail because his mailbox was full. I left messages with his admin staff on at least 5 other occasions. After a month of unsuccessful calls, I sent a text message on 27 March /23. It went unanswered. I kept calling for another 2 weeks before receiving a text from him on 14 April /23 (his first communication with me since 21 Feb /23). He apologized and committed to handling my concern promptly. We agreed that he'd complete the work on 21 April /23. He didn’t show up. I kept calling for another 3 months. My calls weren’t answered and my voicemails weren’t returned. I sent **** another text on 20 July /23 but again didn’t get an answer. My last effort to reach him was on 31 July /23. My call was answered by his admin assistant, who reached him on another line. She said he couldn’t talk because he was on a job but that he promised to call me back in 1 hour. I didn’t receive a call. Screenshots of text messages I exchanged with **** between 28 Feb /23 and 20 July /23 to are attached. I have lost faith in A1 Waterproofing and am requesting a partial refund for the ineffective waterproofing work around my back porch.

    This is an update on my issue with "A1 Waterproofing." I have now resolved my issue with this company. To re-cap, my issue had NOTHING to do with the quality of work done for me by "A1 Waterproofing." In every aspect of them fixing the problem I had, they did "5 Star" work and that is why I gave them a final "5 Star" rating above. I am very pleased with the result of the work done on both of their visits to my house. The reason for their second visit to my house had nothing to do with them. It was because I missed a bit of work that needed to be done when the initial quote was submitted to me and I asked them to come back a second time. Which they did. My issue with them was administrative.
