In mid December 2021, I hired a company , South Shore LI Contracting to make my house, which is built on a cliff, safe and sloped using a terracing process. This is the process that is done because of the erosion in Long Island. I agreed to pay them $45000 cash. They agreed on this project and vowed that my house would be safe and sound as I had suggested. They built a wall halfway up the cliff and in three days it crumbled. They dumped sand and dirt on the cliff. They removed some of the wall. The cliff was worse than when they began; it was a sheer drop and very scary. Unfortunately i paid them before the wall collapsed. Furthermore, they only came one day a week on weekends which I suspected they had a day job. Sometimes, they never showed up and if they did, they only stayed a few hours. They also dumped three loads of wood chips over the cliff and this made a horrible unsightly mess. They put ***** iron posts in the ground in front of our windows at the top of the cliff. They did not finish until March. They never came back after the wall collapsed! I called Angies list and they began a complaint which led into an arbitration. ************************************************** the owners of the company, did not sign for the arbitration. All i wanted was my $45000 returned so that I could get another company tidewaterdock.com to fix the mess they had made. This new company is charging me $104000 which I cannot afford. I am a caregiver for my sister who is very sick and we are both senior citizens. Please help us get our money back. Thank you
