This was a new build of a Tiny House on a 24xft trailer to be featured on a TV showOne of contractor’s employees called and informed us that the contractor is not licensed on his own, rather is required to operate under a RMO Mr*** *** *** CA state law requires that the RMO be engaged in “direct supervision and control” of the work Please see attached document for a full list of current issues with the home and for photos of the work issues go to: http://*** *** *** of CBCS failed on multiple occasions to follow the contract we entered into with him as well as CA state laws We have texts, emails, photos and videos documenting the bad work on the house, lies and his refusal to abide by the contract and laws set in place to protect consumers He has used intimidation (documented in video, text and email), name calling and threats (also documented in writing) as well as holding our project hostage on his property when we did n

I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Regards,
[redacted]
[redacted] still owes me for a front door and overcharged $2200. [redacted] never had approval for his manufactured change orders. There where no threats. [redacted] abandoned my project. The kitchen sink leaked he never fixed it there where other things left undone you can contact [redacted] at [redacted] management for detailed list. Also note another consumers complaint on [redacted] like I said [redacted] always has excuses and blames other as you can see in his complaint. I had to hire another contractor to finish as [redacted] abandoned the project. I never agreeded to [redacted] completion date in fact he makes them up like being done May 30 then demanding more money or not complete the project which he did. My management company [redacted] can verify everything. Please continue and include his partner which did not properly supervise the project it is mr. [redacted]. Anytime [redacted] is questioned he always blames orhers when in fact he owes me $5,184 at least for the door and overcharging me on the bathroom. Change orders must be signed and [redacted] knows they need approval which they where not this is insppropriate according to the contractors board. Please assist me in getting a refund and protect other consumers who may fall victim to this business. Feel free to contact me or my property manager. Please ensure there is a record of this to protect others.
Homeowner still has a remaining balance owed on the original contract of $4,875.00 plus approved change orders which were approved through emails and texts in the amount of $3,275.00. Contractor accepted the change order approval through email and text message due to the fact homeowner did not have a scanner to return signed change orders to contractor. All tasks associated with the original contract scope of work have been completed and all tasks associated with the approved change order outside of the front door have been completed. Homeowner has already been proven through the uploaded video to not be trustworthy and the completion of the original scope and change orders can be verified through this video.Contractors business partner "[redacted]" advised homeowner per the contract, change orders and contract amendments the project was on schedule. Homeowners husband verbally abused [redacted] over the phone as the answer homeowners were looking for was not given by [redacted]. [redacted] could hear homeowners husband in the background say "hang up on him, all contractors are ss" (or something of the sort)Contractor continued project even tho homeowner breached the contract by not paying for approved change orders after the change order tasks were completed.Per the signed and accepted contract dated November 16, 2016 under section payments it clearly states the following Payments are due per the attached page “Project Payments” If homeowner fails to make the payment on the specific date or per the schedule, work will stop until payment is made.

The accusations put forth by the contractor are absolutely 100% not accurate and in no way, shape, or form are any of my photos, statements or otherwise falsified. Not only has the accused contractor blatantly lied in his response but he’s also included information that he is not privy to as fact. Yes, CBCS does hold a B license with CA state however, as far as I know his RMO was in no way involved in the building process which is required by CA state law. The accused contractor sates that “a project such as does not require a license to build”. This project 100% did require a contractors license as per CA state law states: In California, anyone who contracts to perform work on a project that is valued at $500 or more for combined labor and materials costs must hold a current, valid license from CSLB. Our agreed upon budget was $30,000. Contractor failed to EVER bring to our attention additional expenses outside of our budget until the day the build was to begin. There are zero emails of us agreeing to any additional costs, nor did these agreements EVER occur in person. In addition to this, there are multiple emails, and text messages of us 100% not agreeing to any additional costs as well as arguing the fact that we never agreed to said costs. Yes, we did eventually offer a gooseneck trailer to satisfy the contractors additional illegal costs to gain possession of our project so he could no longer hold it hostage. This was done as a last resort as we were to become homeless if we didn’t gain possession of said project. Contractor was very aware that our HARD budget was 30k. He without our knowledge or consent went grossly over budget as we incurred additional expenses of items we were under the impression were included in the budget as we discussed these items to be included in several meetings which was witnessed by contractors designer. Contractor states as fact that a water pressure regulator was not installed prior to hooking up to water source. This is an assumption on his part, as we 100% installed a water regulator and still incurred 2 confirmed leaks in the plumbing. When we hired a licensed plumber to inspect and fix the leak they stated that it was very clear that the plumbing was “clearly not properly pressure tested”. Contractor has continually stated that I failed to state that several walkthroughs were completed. Yes, several walkthroughs were conducted and upon direction of my representation put all issues into writing which are documented via multiple emails. As for the certificate of completion, that document was NOT in fact signed by both parties. If contractor produces said document signed by both my wife and I then this is an additional issue of falsifying documentation as I did NOT sign the aforementioned document as I was not happy with the product. This fact is also clearly shown in multiple emails, photos and text messages. As for the video documentation, the contractor was very aware that I was video recording as I was holding my phone in plane view in his face as he blew up on me and would not let me speak and began cursing at me and giving excuses for everything that was wrong, not fixed or just plane ignored. I have not offered CBCS the change to repair the major issues due to the poor quality of work that was done on the project. In addition to this, the contractor has been very aggressive, continually called both my wife and I very derogatory names, continually using foul language and has made several threats toward us. For all of these reasons we felt it was far better to have an actual licensed professional fix the issues and not allow CBCS to know the location of our new address. I am more than happy to provide ALL documentation requested backing up ALL of these claims.Very Respectfully,[redacted]

#[redacted]. A project such as does not require a license to build. Complainant fails to bring to the attention within the signed
contract additional charges may apply if production company fails to
follow through with providing certain materials, known as trade

install a water pressure regulator prior to installing pressurized fresh
water in to the system causing leaks. CBCS pressurized the water system
for five days without any leaks prior to delivery. He also fails
to bring to the attention this is a tiny home built on a

Homeowner is delirious The original contracts approximant date of completion was February 1, 2016, and at time of the...
contract signing homeowner added the complete home exterior painting and the replacement of all exterior lighting. Homeowner initialed the contract changes and approved the new completion date of March 1, 2016. Homeowner was emailed a new quote, project summary and contract as stated in my handwriting at the bottom of the signed contract page which both homeowner and I have a wet copy of. Homeowner added additional work On January 4, 2016. Adding the replacement of fifteen rotten exterior 1”x12” wood panels and the replacement of a rotten wooden garage door and nonfunctional opener, which added 10 days to the date of completion. A change order and amendment to the contract was emailed to the homeowner. On January 26, 2016homeowner added three bathroom remodels, which added 36 days to the project. Homeowner was email a change order and amendment to the contract. By this time, we were 80% completed with the original project scope and the remaining interior tasks such as flooring had to be put on hold as not to cause damage during the bathroom remodels. Then on February 18, 2016 homeowner added the replacement of fifteen windows, three sliders, an entry door, and to rebuild the deck. Homeowner did not want retrofit windows, so we installed new construction windows. Homeowner was email a change order and amendment to the contract. She was also advised the windows and doors are special order and will take five weeks to arrive. This added an additional thirty to forty-five days to the project. And actually was not approved until on or around the 23rd. of February. I have text messages of this. Let me break the time of completion down per the contract amendments. If we take the date of completion of March 1, 2016 and add ten days for the garage door and 1”x12” panels, we have a completion date of March 11, 2016 If we have a new completion date of March 11, 2016 and add thirty-six days for the three bathroom remodels, we have a completion date of April 15, 2016 If we have a new completion date of April 15, 2016 and add forty-five days for the windows, doors and deck, we have a new completion date of May 30, 2016 All this information was given to the homeowner verbally and in emails. I had also left copies of everything in a folder at the property. We completed all tasks associated with the original contract scope, and every approved change order, less the front door. There was an issue with the front door supplier and the door arrived after May 30, 2016. I requested a day and time to install the front door and homeowner never replied. She actually sent he threatening emails. Homeowner advised me she did not have a scanner and was unable to sign the change orders. In lieu of signing the change orders, homeowner offered to direct deposit funds in to my business account, stating this shows she had approved the change orders. Homeowner direct deposited the bathroom remodel and window, door change order in to my business account. Homeowner requested me to do additional work when two change orders for kitchen backsplash and farm sink had not been paid, so I refused to do the additional work. We had to redo a lot of interior work by replacing the windows. All the window interior seals had to be re-dry walled, textured and the full wall had to be re-primed and repainted. The replaced windows were single pane and the new construction were duel pane low E. We had special order milled trim for the exterior of the windows and these had to be installed, caulked, primed and painted. With the bathroom remodels we had drywall repairs, texture and had to re-prime and re-paint. The additional days added to the completion date is not out of line or excessive. The national average for a single bathroom remodel is 18-21 days and we did three in 30 days. I believe the Revdex.com has been given poor information from the homeowner Bottom line here is, per the contract and all amendments to the contract we had until the 30th of May to complete the project and we did. Homeowner has not been over charged for any tasks, nor has any change order been created after the fact. Each change order has been emailed to the homeowner the day it was created. I trusted the homeowner as she paid for two change order, but after she verbally and text approved two other change order and failed to pay, I refused to do any additional work without being paid for the outstanding and by not having the additional change orders for closet doors and door hardware signed. As too the homeowners comment to craftsmanship. I have uploaded a video to you tube of the full interior of the home the day of completion. You will see in the video our craftsmanship is very high.

Complainant has no understanding of law or building codes. In California a tiny home on a trailer is not considered a site-constructed California Building and therefore does not require a licensed contractor per California State License Board and INFORMATION BUllETIN 2016-01 (MH, FBH, SHl, MP/SOP, RT, Ol). Complainant continually gives false statements and has or is attempting to present false or altered photos or documents. Complainant continues to accuse us of a crime and opens himself up to a law suit. Complainant contradicts himself from the original complaint to his reply. CBCS completed the tiny home per the signed and approved contract. Stipulations were spelled out on additional cost if the production crew failed to provide certain materials. Complainant and his wife agreed to the additional cost during a meeting, picked the color and size via email and text messages. Complainant perjured himself by stating he or his wife did not sign a certificate of completion. All projects completed by us have a certificate of completion signed by the clients in order to protect ourselves and by law it is required. Complainant is blaming us and has uploaded several photos of work which we did not do. He has also uploaded photos which contradict his statements and contradict other photos. which he uploaded. These complaints presented are bogus and not the cause of CBCS. The film crew had a build team and 90% of the complaint and photos uploaded are of work the film build crew did.

This was a new build of a Tiny House on a 24xft trailer to be featured on a TV showOne of contractor’s employees called and informed us that the contractor is not licensed on his own, rather is required to operate under a RMO Mr*** *** *** CA state law requires that the RMO be engaged in “direct supervision and control” of the work Please see attached document for a full list of current issues with the home and for photos of the work issues go to: http://*** *** *** of CBCS failed on multiple occasions to follow the contract we entered into with him as well as CA state laws We have texts, emails, photos and videos documenting the bad work on the house, lies and his refusal to abide by the contract and laws set in place to protect consumers He has used intimidation (documented in video, text and email), name calling and threats (also documented in writing) as well as holding our project hostage on his property when we did n
Revdex.com:
I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID [redacted], and have determined that this proposed action would not resolve my complaint. For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.
Regards,
[redacted]
[redacted] still owes me for a front door and overcharged $2200. [redacted] never had approval for his manufactured change orders. There where no threats. [redacted] abandoned my project. The kitchen sink leaked he never fixed it there where other things left undone you can contact [redacted] at [redacted] management for detailed list. Also note another consumers complaint on [redacted] like I said [redacted] always has excuses and blames other as you can see in his complaint. I had to hire another contractor to finish as [redacted] abandoned the project. I never agreeded to [redacted] completion date in fact he makes them up like being done May 30 then demanding more money or not complete the project which he did. My management company [redacted] can verify everything. Please continue and include his partner which did not properly supervise the project it is mr. [redacted]. Anytime [redacted] is questioned he always blames orhers when in fact he owes me $5,184 at least for the door and overcharging me on the bathroom. Change orders must be signed and [redacted] knows they need approval which they where not this is insppropriate according to the contractors board. Please assist me in getting a refund and protect other consumers who may fall victim to this business. Feel free to contact me or my property manager. Please ensure there is a record of this to protect others.
Homeowner still has a remaining balance owed on the original contract of $4,875.00 plus approved change orders which were approved through emails and texts in the amount of $3,275.00. Contractor accepted the change order approval through email and text message due to the fact homeowner did not have a scanner to return signed change orders to contractor. All tasks associated with the original contract scope of work have been completed and all tasks associated with the approved change order outside of the front door have been completed. Homeowner has already been proven through the uploaded video to not be trustworthy and the completion of the original scope and change orders can be verified through this video.Contractors business partner "[redacted]" advised homeowner per the contract, change orders and contract amendments the project was on schedule. Homeowners husband verbally abused [redacted] over the phone as the answer homeowners were looking for was not given by [redacted]. [redacted] could hear homeowners husband in the background say "hang up on him, all contractors are s
s" (or something of the sort)Contractor continued project even tho homeowner breached the contract by not paying for approved change orders after the change order tasks were completed.Per the signed and accepted contract dated November 16, 2016 under section payments it clearly states the following Payments are due per the attached page “Project Payments” If homeowner fails to make the payment on the specific date or per the schedule, work will stop until payment is made. Change order payments are due when change order tasks have been completed. If homeowner fails to make the change order payment, work will stop until payment is made.
The accusations put forth by the contractor are absolutely 100% not accurate and in no way, shape, or form are any of my photos, statements or otherwise falsified. Not only has the accused contractor blatantly lied in his response but he’s also included information that he is not privy to as fact. Yes, CBCS does hold a B license with CA state however, as far as I know his RMO was in no way involved in the building process which is required by CA state law. The accused contractor sates that “a project such as does not require a license to build”. This project 100% did require a contractors license as per CA state law states: In California, anyone who contracts to perform work on a project that is valued at $500 or more for combined labor and materials costs must hold a current, valid license from CSLB. Our agreed upon budget was $30,000. Contractor failed to EVER bring to our attention additional expenses outside of our budget until the day the build was to begin. There are zero emails of us agreeing to any additional costs, nor did these agreements EVER occur in person. In addition to this, there are multiple emails, and text messages of us 100% not agreeing to any additional costs as well as arguing the fact that we never agreed to said costs. Yes, we did eventually offer a gooseneck trailer to satisfy the contractors additional illegal costs to gain possession of our project so he could no longer hold it hostage. This was done as a last resort as we were to become homeless if we didn’t gain possession of said project. Contractor was very aware that our HARD budget was 30k. He without our knowledge or consent went grossly over budget as we incurred additional expenses of items we were under the impression were included in the budget as we discussed these items to be included in several meetings which was witnessed by contractors designer. Contractor states as fact that a water pressure regulator was not installed prior to hooking up to water source. This is an assumption on his part, as we 100% installed a water regulator and still incurred 2 confirmed leaks in the plumbing. When we hired a licensed plumber to inspect and fix the leak they stated that it was very clear that the plumbing was “clearly not properly pressure tested”. Contractor has continually stated that I failed to state that several walkthroughs were completed. Yes, several walkthroughs were conducted and upon direction of my representation put all issues into writing which are documented via multiple emails. As for the certificate of completion, that document was NOT in fact signed by both parties. If contractor produces said document signed by both my wife and I then this is an additional issue of falsifying documentation as I did NOT sign the aforementioned document as I was not happy with the product. This fact is also clearly shown in multiple emails, photos and text messages. As for the video documentation, the contractor was very aware that I was video recording as I was holding my phone in plane view in his face as he blew up on me and would not let me speak and began cursing at me and giving excuses for everything that was wrong, not fixed or just plane ignored. I have not offered CBCS the change to repair the major issues due to the poor quality of work that was done on the project. In addition to this, the contractor has been very aggressive, continually called both my wife and I very derogatory names, continually using foul language and has made several threats toward us. For all of these reasons we felt it was far better to have an actual licensed professional fix the issues and not allow CBCS to know the location of our new address. I am more than happy to provide ALL documentation requested backing up ALL of these claims.Very Respectfully,[redacted]

#[redacted]. A project such as does not require a license to build. Complainant fails to bring to the attention within the signed

Homeowner is delirious The original contracts approximant date of completion was February 1, 2016, and at time of the...
contract signing homeowner added the complete home exterior painting and the replacement of all exterior lighting. Homeowner initialed the contract changes and approved the new completion date of March 1, 2016. Homeowner was emailed a new quote, project summary and contract as stated in my handwriting at the bottom of the signed contract page which both homeowner and I have a wet copy of. Homeowner added additional work On January 4, 2016. Adding the replacement of fifteen rotten exterior 1”x12” wood panels and the replacement of a rotten wooden garage door and nonfunctional opener, which added 10 days to the date of completion. A change order and amendment to the contract was emailed to the homeowner. On January 26, 2016homeowner added three bathroom remodels, which added 36 days to the project. Homeowner was email a change order and amendment to the contract. By this time, we were 80% completed with the original project scope and the remaining interior tasks such as flooring had to be put on hold as not to cause damage during the bathroom remodels. Then on February 18, 2016 homeowner added the replacement of fifteen windows, three sliders, an entry door, and to rebuild the deck. Homeowner did not want retrofit windows, so we installed new construction windows. Homeowner was email a change order and amendment to the contract. She was also advised the windows and doors are special order and will take five weeks to arrive. This added an additional thirty to forty-five days to the project. And actually was not approved until on or around the 23rd. of February. I have text messages of this. Let me break the time of completion down per the contract amendments. If we take the date of completion of March 1, 2016 and add ten days for the garage door and 1”x12” panels, we have a completion date of March 11, 2016 If we have a new completion date of March 11, 2016 and add thirty-six days for the three bathroom remodels, we have a completion date of April 15, 2016 If we have a new completion date of April 15, 2016 and add forty-five days for the windows, doors and deck, we have a new completion date of May 30, 2016 All this information was given to the homeowner verbally and in emails. I had also left copies of everything in a folder at the property. We completed all tasks associated with the original contract scope, and every approved change order, less the front door. There was an issue with the front door supplier and the door arrived after May 30, 2016. I requested a day and time to install the front door and homeowner never replied. She actually sent he threatening emails. Homeowner advised me she did not have a scanner and was unable to sign the change orders. In lieu of signing the change orders, homeowner offered to direct deposit funds in to my business account, stating this shows she had approved the change orders. Homeowner direct deposited the bathroom remodel and window, door change order in to my business account. Homeowner requested me to do additional work when two change orders for kitchen backsplash and farm sink had not been paid, so I refused to do the additional work. We had to redo a lot of interior work by replacing the windows. All the window interior seals had to be re-dry walled, textured and the full wall had to be re-primed and repainted. The replaced windows were single pane and the new construction were duel pane low E. We had special order milled trim for the exterior of the windows and these had to be installed, caulked, primed and painted. With the bathroom remodels we had drywall repairs, texture and had to re-prime and re-paint. The additional days added to the completion date is not out of line or excessive. The national average for a single bathroom remodel is 18-21 days and we did three in 30 days. I believe the Revdex.com has been given poor information from the homeowner Bottom line here is, per the contract and all amendments to the contract we had until the 30th of May to complete the project and we did. Homeowner has not been over charged for any tasks, nor has any change order been created after the fact. Each change order has been emailed to the homeowner the day it was created. I trusted the homeowner as she paid for two change order, but after she verbally and text approved two other change order and failed to pay, I refused to do any additional work without being paid for the outstanding and by not having the additional change orders for closet doors and door hardware signed. As too the homeowners comment to craftsmanship. I have uploaded a video to you tube of the full interior of the home the day of completion. You will see in the video our craftsmanship is very high.

Complainant has no understanding of law or building codes. In California a tiny home on a trailer is not considered a site-constructed California Building and therefore does not require a licensed contractor per California State License Board and INFORMATION BUllETIN 2016-01 (MH, FBH, SHl, MP/SOP, RT, Ol). Complainant continually gives false statements and has or is attempting to present false or altered photos or documents. Complainant continues to accuse us of a crime and opens himself up to a law suit. Complainant contradicts himself from the original complaint to his reply. CBCS completed the tiny home per the signed and approved contract. Stipulations were spelled out on additional cost if the production crew failed to provide certain materials. Complainant and his wife agreed to the additional cost during a meeting, picked the color and size via email and text messages. Complainant perjured himself by stating he or his wife did not sign a certificate of completion. All projects completed by us have a certificate of completion signed by the clients in order to protect ourselves and by law it is required. Complainant is blaming us and has uploaded several photos of work which we did not do. He has also uploaded photos which contradict his statements and contradict other photos. which he uploaded. These complaints presented are bogus and not the cause of CBCS. The film crew had a build team and 90% of the complaint and photos uploaded are of work the film build crew did. The remaining the complainant altered the materials, zoomed in heavy or of work complainant had done. Complainant was only at the build site once prior to filming and during filming only on a few occasions. Complainant has no knowledge of who did what with the construction of the tiny home.
