    Pattern of Complaint:

    BBB files indicate that this business has a pattern of complaints concerning customers alleging that the start date of their project was continually delayed and rescheduled, and that work was not finished within a reasonable timeframe. They also state that they requested a refund but did not receive it. Customers claim that they were not kept informed about when to work to be done, and that multiple phone calls to the business were not returned. Consumers claim that workers showed up without proper equipment, and that debris was left on their property. They have also stated that the quality of the workmanship was poor, and that their property was damaged in the process.

    On November 4, 2022, DK Home Improvement Company responded to the BBB, and provided the following response to the pattern of customer complaint:

    We agree we have been behind on start dates due to supplies on back order & the hiring of new installers which in turn will affect finish dates.  We have sent back over $150,000.00 in refunds which can be documented. My foreman kept customers informed regarding delays etc.  Information was passed on to him when customers did not call him directly.  Disagree with statement "proper equipment" On the rare occasion when there was something missing the crew would inform him & he would provide what was needed.  I disagree with debris was left. After the completion of work, Ed follows up & clears out debris from the work performed. I disagree with poor quality and workmanship. We do beautiful work & have a very extensive happy customer reference list. I disagree with property damage. Have no record of property being damaged, & do have Company Insurance in the event of this occurring. 

    The BBB will continue to monitor any incoming complaints.

    Complaint Type:
    Service or Repair Issues
    Status:
    Resolved
    On March 13, 2024, we entered into an agreement on behalf of the HighVue Manor Homeowners Association with D.K. Home Improvement Company to construct a deck. "Carmine" who represented D.K. Home Improvement Company, indicated he had an opening in early March. As of 4/30/2024, the deck has not been built, the deposit check in the amount of $4,100.00 has been cashed and no additional communication from "Carmine" has been provided regarding the start date of construction. Several calls to "Carmine" were placed for coordination of the construction start date. Very limited responses were given. One reply blamed the weather, another reply blamed the Shaler Building Inspector. Several more calls in the meantime were placed to "Carmine" yielding zero response to date. At this juncture, we are seeking a return/full refund of the deposit in the amount of $4,100.00.

    ******* at DK home improvements will say anything to get you hooked, then when its time to do the job NOTHING! He has no communication skills- he doesn’t check in on his team at all- He will only call you back in regards to money. ******* told us that the deck and pergola would be a total of 2 weeks and be done by the end of July. We understand that things happen, and materials are backed up but the deck itself didn’t get completed until October 8th, and ***** and **** took 3 weeks to build it! That doesn’t include the holes and posts. ******* also kept saying- next week we will start- next week we will start. It wasn’t the fact that we were being held up by material, but by how his team dragged on the projects. **** and ***** showed up between 1030 and 1130 each day- took a lunch break and left at 4 and used our restroom ALL day. They took their time setting up their tents and cleaning up after. I don’t even blame **** and *****- ******* never once showed to check on his team, Surprise visits are imperative to keep projects on a timely schedule. I asked them to finish one part of the railing and ***** looked at me and said “we already started to clean up!” this was after 2 ½ weeks of them being there. ***** was usually the only one working since **** was dealing with customers that carmine upset. **** and ***** did a beautiful job- it was just too long when it simply could have been done in a week. I would not recommend this company to anyone unless you don’t care how long the project will take. ******* does not communicate and **** and ***** work at their own pace and their own hours.
