Business ProfileforRussell's Decking & Concrete LLC

On 12/15/22 I entered into a contractor with ******* Decking/Concrete to rebuild and extend the deck, pour concrete footings, and extend the driveway. On 1/28/23, the job started with digging the footing and preparing the other areas for the new concrete. While the work was very slow, the work proceeded and the concrete was poured with minimal issues (there we some spillage of concrete on the existing concrete that was never addressed). The concrete pour was for exposed aggregate. After the concrete the rebuild of the deck started. I would watch the build and make some comments on concerns to the contractor. He was open and generally stated he would fix the issues. As the weeks progressed, the contractor showed up less and was dealing with family issues as well as health issues. I continued to ask when was the balance of the material going to be delivered and instead of having a full load delivered, he would try and get the material in his truck without a support cage. I remember that when he delivered the first few pieces of the decking, they fell o! the truck onto my driveway and slid all the way to the road. In the process, damaging one of the composite boards. On 3/15/23 things came to a head and he fired his last worker ****. A few weeks prior he fired *****. The contractor stated he had some other employees that would be helping, but the work significantly slowed down at this point. Things continued to deteriorate and on 3/27/23 he had indicated that the decking and railing for the deck was going to be delivered and failed to deliver all of the decking and any of the railing. The contractor seemed to be more worried about getting the deck built even if it meant that the quality was poor. He quickly bulit the steps and started to put up the final outer layer of wood (facia). The joists and other framing lumber still had not be completed or had major gaps but still he continued to put up the final layer. I finally had enough and fired him from the job.
