  Business response

  06/01/2023

  
  I am writing this letter to address the complaint by ***** and ************************* to the Better Business Bureau that we received on Monday, May 8th, 2023.We originally became involved in this loss through the preferred carrier program for Liberty Mutual on 6/24/21. The loss details were that a large tree limb had broken off a large tree causing significant damage to the roof and adjacent rooms below. All Restoration assisted the Osteans with getting the electrical mast reattached to the home in order to supply power to the home, as well as testing for asbestos and lead before the reconstruction took place. Shortly after, **************** had second thoughts of using our services to perform the repairs to the home and decided to shop other contractors in the area. We billed him for the work we completed that consisted of the environmental testing and electric reconnect.  
   6 months later I was contacted by ***********************. He stated he was in a predicament with the contractor he had engaged to perform the repairs to the home. He stated that the contractor he chose to use had collected $50,000.00 had yet to submit a permit to the **************** and they had received a letter from the city that they would be fined if the repairs to the home didnt begin in due time. Within a 2-week period, we had pulled a permit for the construction of the property, and we began the repairs on 4/2/22. 
  Roughly 4 months later, All Restoration submitted an invoice to the Ostean for payment of $121,001.68 on 7/21/2022 as the 1st draw for work completed. All Restoration Solutions collected a payment of $100,501.68 on 8/27/2022. The Osteans still have not made the additional payment of $20,500.00.  
  On 11/8/22,we met with the Osteans regarding some items that they felt needed to be address, at this time we were roughly 70 percent complete with the project.Several representatives of All Restoration Solutions met with the Ostean about these open items. The representatives of All Restoration Solutions included the project manager, the estimator, district manager and our general manager. We created an punch list of those items and quickly began to address each item on the exterior and interior of the home. Some of the items they brought to our attention had already been addressed, an example of this was a broken glass pane to a window, which we addressed as soon as it was brought to our project managers attention. Other items that they had mentioned in their letter to the Better Business Bureau were addressed immediately after our walk-through with the customer. Shortly after we completed the exterior repairs that they brought to our attention is when we suffered delays. The Osteans had the heat and water turned off to the home. This created several complications for us not being able to perform the repair to the inside due to the interior conditions. At this time, winter temperatures had set in. The interior environment was not adequate for us to continue repairs. We reached out for 3 months asking the Osteans if the heat and water had been turned back on so we could complete the remaining repairs to the interior of the home, without any response from the Osteans. I finally received a response from ************************* stating that the heat and water had been turned on January 25th, 2023. This is when we did make the attempt to begin the repairs again, it was at this time the Osteans would not allow us access to continue with the repairs to their home. It is at this time their actions became disingenuous. The Osteans made several complaints about the repairs, even though they would not allow ** back in the complete the repairs. As you may well know, ******* does have a Right to Repair act. The Osteans did not in any way properly follow the procedure of doing so. All Restoration Solutions was concerned to have a customer of ours unhappy with any work we perform. Unfortunately, the Osteans would not allow us to continue with the remaining repairs and address any other concerns of theirs. It is our opinion that their complaint to the Better Business Bureau is disingenuous.They made several complaints regarding the repairs to their home. And yet would not allow us to complete the repairs and the scope of work.  
  We have continuously asked for a meeting onsite to discuss or take a look at these complaints an even our Owners have reached out to them numerous times but they will not return phone calls or emails, therefore, It is our opinion that their complaint to BBB is unjustified. The issues at hand are of their own making based on their past and present behavior are an attempt to get out of paying for the services rendered.
