If I could I wouldve rate this business a 0/5. Working with this business so far has been my biggest regret. I hired Mateaki Construction Landscaping to build a retaining wall, expanding driveway, installing fencing post and leveling yard. At first the business owner said he would get the jobs done in two weeks. He requested a deposit of 4000$, which I did wrote him a check and he cashed out the same day. He said gravel and bricks will be delivered a few days after I made the deposit, and concrete will be done in 1-2 weeks. Now at 7 weeks, all he did was removed grass and dig hold for footing. Still no gravel, no brick has been delivered yet. Now he said he need me to put more money down to get the concrete and footing done since he doesn’t have money to buy the materials. Otherwise I would need to wait until he have more fund in order to move forward. He refused to refund me my 4000$ deposit. At this point he’s saying he charged me 3000$ for the little job that he has done. This business is a scammer. Do not get scammed by them.Initial Complaint

On June 4, 3022 I made an agreement with Sione M****** to construct a fence in my backyard. The quoted price was for $6,012.50. on July 7, 2022 I made a down payment of $4,000 and expected to start this month. Nothing happened so I called on August 4, 2022 to find out what the delay was. I have documented how many times I called him and how many excuses he gave me for the delay. This went on until he finally finished it on January 25, 2023 in the middle of the snow storm and cold weather. I checked the fence and found that it was a sloppy job and not fitting panels to the posts. There are visible holes in the panel area which shows the ill fitting panel. The posts are not capped properly and the cement that the posts were inserted in a suspicious looking way. I tried to get someone to inspect the job but was unable to find anyone to come out to look at it. The color of the fence was supposed to be white but ended up to be brown. I can live with the color but am worried about the quality of the job. I would appreciate your assistance in solving my complaint. I would like Sione M****** Construction to repair necessary issues. I will then Pay the remaining $2,000 that he keeps calling to get paid. I have attached all documentation I have concerning this isue. Thank you for any help you can give me. ******** ***********
