    First Priority was informed by the client that the dishwasher was broken.  We are unsure how it occurred, as it could not have been from the services that we provided.  However, we have decided it is in the best interest of the client to replace the appliance.  We are working on a replacement now.

    My mom had a home fire, we hired this company to do the repairs. My mom passed July 8,2022, and before she passed, she kept calling the company, because the work they did was falling apart, so they had to keep coming out, things still falling apart. They sent my mom a letter before she passed they she owed an additional ****, right before she passed and when I call the new home owner, her daughter, I contacted the company and disputed the charge because they said they did work that was never done and they came up with that amount because my mom was told she would be getting a refund due to over payment, from employee that is no longer with the company.When I took pictures and showed them they commented fraud for saying they did work they didnt do they were supposed to refund me over *****, but *** after months they come to my home thinking I am stupid enough to sign some paperwork they put together to not pay me stating total new charges. It took months for my home to pass inspection and now they want to charge me for the half job they did. Please help me, I am *********************************************************************Thank you,*******************************

    We have spoken with ******************** several times to attempt to explain the situation. Unfortunately, we have not been able to make much progress. ******************** was not involved during the process and its been challenging explaining the situation in full after the fact. To explain, before her mother passed and during the project ************* hired an ** company to replace the system and move the air handler from the attic to a closet in the hallway. This work was completely outside of the scope of work ************** hired Bay Area DKI for and required substantial additional work which was explained to **************. This ** company did not pull a permit and did not complete the installation to code. This made closing our permit, which did not include the ** work, extremely difficult and did take multiple trips. In an effort to help offset the cost we created a change order for **************. This change order had to take into account the additional work needed for the ** issues and a balance on the account for the emergency services before the construction began. In the end, the balance owed to Bay Area DKI was zero.

    ******************** has been given a copy of the change order and the statement of account several times. This statement shows the balance for the emergency services, cost for additional work and the change order. All of the accounting is accurate and easy to follow. However, she rejects all of the documentation and demands a cash refund. When I was threatened with an attorney by ******************** I welcomed the opportunity to speak with an independent third party to bring this to a close.

    As I have told ******************* several times, I'm happy to discuss the best way to bring this to a close and want to make sure she understands the documentation. I do not want her to feel as though we are trying to take advantage of her but I cannot simply send her a check just to make her happy.
