    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Unanswered
    On 07 June 23, 1st Choice Renew LLC owner, Aaron C****, came to my house to perform a site survey for a deck install. He sent me a $10,575.00 quote to be paid in three (3) installments, for a 12-foot by 22-foot deck with a 4-foot center staircase and railings. He stated it would take 5 days total for the install. On 21 June 2023, I signed the deck construction contract and mailed the first check in the amount of $3.525.00 to 1st Choice Renew LLC for material purchases. On 30 June 2023, 1st Choice Renew LLC completed the deck framing and on 01 July 2023, I provided a second check in the amount of $3,525.00. On 07 July 2023, Aaron C**** requested the final payment of $3,525.00, stating the crew completed the majority of the deck but due to incoming weather, they would come back the next day to finish the deck staircase railing, reinstall the siding and vent cover that were temporarily removed to install the deck, clean up the work site, and pick up their remaining tools. I paid him the final $3,525.00 with the faith that he would keep his word and come back to complete the work. To-date, he has not and I've sent Aaron three (3) emails to ************************ on 12 July, 17 July, and 24 July, however, he has not responded despite me providing pictures of the unfinished work. Additionally, I have called Aaron's cellphone and the company's number nine (9) times on 19-21 July, 24 July, 26 July, and 28 July, however, calls from my cellphone with accompanying voicemails went unanswered. Finally, on 28 July, I called Aaron from my work phone and he answered the phone because it was a different number. I recorded our phone conversation where he promised he would come to my house the next day on 29 July 2023 to finish the work. To-date, he still has not completed the work (I also have video evidence he knows it's incomplete) so I'm filing this complaint in an effort to give 1st Choice Renew LLC the opportunity to fix this issue before it becomes a legal matter.

    Terrible! Aaron took my money and did not complete the job! He said he would come back and finish the job multiple times and told me lies as to why he didn’t show up. He ended up ghosting me and wouldn’t answer my calls or texts. I called from another number and he answered and played dumb and kept making excuses. PLEASE DO NOT HIRE HIM! He will take your money too!
