    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    We are filing this complaint so others know what were dealing with regarding Gracewood/*******************. We believe we were overcharged by Gracewood/******************* by $2,292.89. We agreed to work totaling $3,715.00. When the job was complete, we were presented with a bill for $6,102.89. When we spoke with ******************* on the phone, he told us his workers found other areas of wood rot and took care of them. We tried to tell him that we never agreed to additional work, just what was on the original proposal, totaling approximately $3,715. He ranted about his crew did the work and he wont be cheated out of his money. When we tried again to tell him we never authorized the work he said that because my wife was in the hospital (2 of the 5 days his crew was at the house) he didnt want to bother me at the hospital. I explained that he and I had texted those two days about their progress and other thingsNOT extra work, nor extra cost. I also explained we were home the other three days and no one asked us about paying for additional work. Once again he stated he wouldnt be cheated out of his money, to either pay the full amount or h*** see us in court. He then hung up on us.We believe Gracewood/******************* had made no attempt to seek our approval for the additional $2,292.89 for work that the crew thought would be nice to do.We can assure you that if we had been consulted about anything besides what was on the original proposal, we would NOT have approved it. The $3,715 was near the *** of our budget. Almost $2,300 additional would have caused us to reconsider the work and/or speak with other companies. We were never given the opportunity to approve or reject the supposed extra work.We even sent a registered letter trying to resolve this, but have been ignored.In summary, Gracewood/******************* supposedly did extra work that was never authorized by us. When we questioned it, we felt threatened, pressured, and bullied into paying the full amount for fear of being sued.

    Initially, I engaged Gracewood on Oct 6 to address wood damage and rotting wood caused by condensation within my carport, originating from A/C pipes. Despite their assurances and subsequent repairs, the problem persisted. On July 15th, I discovered water damage and early signs of mold reappearing on the repaired boards. Concerned, I promptly reached out to Gracewood via phone and left a voicemail, seeking assistance to resolve the issue. I never received a response back. Two days later, I emailed the Gracewood. In response to my concerns, I received a dismissive email, indicating that their contract did not cover A/C line repairs, despite these repairs being conducted without proper resolution of the underlying issue. Moreover, their mention of a 6-month warranty was never communicated during our interactions, adding to the lack of transparency in their business dealings.Furthermore, the cleanup after their repairs was subpar, leaving me with additional work to tidy up their mess. Including numerous nails in the yard and in our driveway. Overall, my experience with Gracewood has been highly unsatisfactory due to their inability to effectively address the root cause of the problem, poor communication regarding warranty terms, and inadequate cleanup practices. Based on this experience, I cannot recommend Gracewood for home repair services.

    We do not get paid until a final walk thru has been done and the customer is satisfied. We have not heard from this customer for nine months. Our contract was to repair rotten wood no mention of an a/c problem is mentioned in the contract. We are carpenters and handymen. We are not licensed to do a/c work. No mention of any  problem in nine months. If the cause of the problem is not addressed that is not our fault. The customer is trying to blame us for his negligence.  "work is sub par" What a reach!!!   I reject this nonsense. Nine months later!!!!
