This is a horrible company. Late, unprofessional, and a complete fraud. Several delays starting first with owner not having license current. You'll be sorry if you hire.

Wish I never met this person. Unprofessional, a liar, and basic con artist. Lapsed license from very beginning. Lots of excuses, no shows, and just BS! When unable to manage work expectations, she just lies. She jeopardized my family's safety by sending her "workers" to clear remaining debris during the night without informing me! Unprepared and incompetent, her workers asked for a flashlight, I ignored the request, and called her/owner immediately. She downplayed this and mentioned after they were done, she'd need the final payment. I reminded her that the job was incomplete as there was still debris and of exterior crack filling. She had the audacity to tell me they (workers) were going to complete everything this while they're at my house. I pointed out it was dark and she foolishly stated didn't I know the " city has people working at night". She isn't a city worker, so her statement made no sense whatsoever, and her workers knew about the exterior Just continous lies. A shoddy job was done on exterior cracks, but to avoid more anger, I cut my ties with this shysty absurd woman. Do not hire.
