Andy's Woodwork
Andys Woodwork March 24, 2010
I was hired by KC to install Kitchens...was told that they were " OVERBOOKED " and needed to Catch up. After doing the Demo and Cabinet Install on Kitchen # 1 I was told an Inspector would come and view my work. I was then told I wouldn't be paid until the Shoe Molding was cut to size. Who cut's shoe before Finishing the Floor, which was NOT part of my work order. Anyway, I explained that I would gladly go back and Cut the Molding when the Rest of the Materials came to finish the Kitchen, Crown and Filler were left out of the... read full review »

Dixie Homecrafters/Window
pissed off in the Wartown March 24, 2010
When windows were purchased from Dixie HomeCrafters we were told that the warranty is lifetime for any breakages of the glass or any damages to the operation of the windows. Dixie's rep made it sound simple, just make a phone call to the office and give the number off the frame in which he showed us where the number was in case of any damages. Well its been three weeks and several phone calls later we finally received a subcontractor the third day of the fourth wk and the only thing he came to do was get the number out of the frame call... read full review »

Downtown Plumbing

We are a local new business in downtown milford. We asked other business's if they could tell us of any decent local plumbing contractors in the area. We were told they use countryside plumbing. We called and they sent a man named dino tori.He was nice enough, explained the problem did the job. later (weeks later) after viewing our surveillance video we caught him stealing from us, granted it wasn't thousands of dollars but products we had in our store to run our business. what a shame and shock this was. needless to say he charged... read full review »

I was contacted via telephone initially by Portland System's Steel Buildings in Wheat Ridge Colorado Mike Schultz approximately August 2009.

He said that currently Portland does not ship to California but that they were opening up now to start shipping here.Mike told me that he found my company through the internet "Yellowbook" pages.

baumatic PCG7110SS 70cm Gas Cooker
JJAR March 24, 2010
We were looking for a 70cm gas cooker. There isn't much choice about for that size of cooker. We liked the look of the baumatic 70cm gas cooker, but couldn't find it anywhere in the ususal applicance stores to have a good look at one. The cooker wasn't cheap - 705 pounds, but was the size we wanted so we went ahead with it (we bought it via rangemaster.co.uk who have washed their hands of the following! so not impressed with them either). As soon as the cooker arrived we realised we had made a mistake - the materials used to... read full review »

Tarzan Trees, Inc
Stine March 23, 2010
I hired this guy to trim a tree for me. I had to pay him in advance because I was leaving for work. When I returned the work had not been done at all. I called the bank right away to stop payment on the check and he already cashed it. I have been looking online for more info on his business to file a formal complaint but can't find anything. He will not answer or return my calls. He is a total scam, avoid him at all cost! read full review »

Barrier Reef Pools
Purchased a fiberglasss pool from this highly recommended company about 1 year ago. It leaks several hundred gallons per day. I have called everyone and every phone number I come across and no one will answer or return my call. Looks like the 15 year warranty is a joke and so is the representative J.J.Judy. Hope this catches up with you. I have to spend thousands now to dig it up and find leaks before it trashes the foundation of my home. read full review »

Mathis Brothers Furniture - Oklahoma City
Keith Williams March 23, 2010
Back in August my wife and I decided to use Mathis Brothers to furnish our new house. We had a great salesman, Chris Gibson (who is no longer there), and after spending several hours and over $11, 000 we had picked out furniture for our dining room, living room, master bedroom and 7 barstools for our bar and island. When coordinating our delivery date, we were informed that the truck would only deliver on Tuesdays to our location. This was an inconvenience as we would have to be off work to be there on a weekday. Before the day of delivery... read full review »

Ultrex/HSN/Cookware
CYW March 23, 2010
I agree totally with ALL of the complaints. I also purchased Ultrex Convection Oven and it caught on fire. HSN sells HORRIBLE electrical products. The only thing that still works is the Joy M. My Little Steamer. The Ultrex product line is simply garbage. I will never buy anything that plugs in from HSN. Better yet, they have permanently lost a longtime customer. I don't even watch the channel anymore so I won't be tempted. I will check with my attorney friend to see how to start a class action lawsuit against HSN. Their advertising... read full review »

Georgia Power Smart Meter
teresasmith185 March 23, 2010
We had a Smart Meter installed on our box about 9 months ago. This morning, I woke up to the smell of burning. After ripping down ceiling tiles looking for the source, I found that the Smart Meter was the object that was causing the smell due to it melting. When the Georgia Power man came out to inspect, he told us that the Smart Meter was not compatible with the box that we had and we had to buy a new box; that it was our responsibility. I firmly believe that the Georgia Power guy who came out 9 months ago should have pointed that out to... read full review »

This company was hired to install Granicrete countertops in our kitchen and bathroom in January 2010. They were not trained by Granicrete and were purchasing the product through a 'friend'. The work done on our countertops is sub-standard, as confirmed by a Granicrete installer who has since come to look at it. The workmanship was inferior, with concrete dropped on the hardwood, epoxy resin not covering countertops fully and paint on the walls.

I used this construction company, and have regretted it ever since. I was given one price, but had to front alot of money up front, then of course everything started costing more and more. They only showed up when they wanted. The hard wood floor that was put in was put in wrong, and is now popping everywhere and starting to come up. They broke the toilet in my bathroom and replaced it with a cheap one. The toilet was ot put back in correctly, and the new hardwood floor has rotted, and flowed into the adjoing laundry room, thus making that... read full review »

Samsung Electric Range FTQ386LWX. Original price $1699 purchased at Sears. The convection fans stopped working within 3 months. Waiting for over 3 weeks for parts that were supposed be a rush order. Now the stove takes 30 minutes to get up to temperature and then fluctuates up to 100 degrees. I used the steam clean feature and small pieces of metal are falling off the oven walls. I will see what happens when I use the self-clean feature. Samsung keeps telling me to call Sears, and the Sears repair tells me they can't get the parts from Samsung. read full review »
