Business ProfileforOhio City Contractors Inc.

I cannot recommend this company. As the priest of St. *********************** in *********, I also cannot in good conscience let other people hire them. We received three quotes for a fallen lintel over our brick garage. Ohio City Masonry were not the cheapest, but I liked their office manager. We paid $2000+ deposit and confirmed that they would be out August 10, 2023 to begin work.I called and left several voicemails. I also texted several times. I finally sent a frantic text in mid-September demanding either the work be completed immediately or my deposit returned. After a few "tomorrow" push-offs, they finally arrived and started demo.They arrived without the proper equipment or enough people. They could not complete demo efficiently and dragged it out more than two weeks. They did not bring the proper adapters for their power equipment and rewired our garage to route a line for their equipment without my permission. They ordered the wrong I-Beam replacement and we had to front them 80% of the job cost in order to continue work. They completed this on Oct. 27 and harassed me until I returned early from an out of town work conference in order to hand them a check. They also changed how they wanted their payments to be made, first requesting cash and then when I said no, requesting we change the name on the check to Ohio City Contractors. The young man was using the wrong tool to trim the insulation and said he would be back that evening to finish trimming it with the correct tool. I regret that I paid them then anyway. Only later I discovered they had not fixed the electrical in the garage as they said they had.It is December 1 and they still have not completed the job. They did not finish the trim and they did not fix our electrical, so we have an entire wall of outlets that does not work.
