Stay far far FAR away from Drytech
We chose Drytech over other contractors because they had a physical office, been in business for years, and a good standing with the Revdex.com (Revdex.com)
We could NOT be more WRONG
We hired Drytech to rebuild our aging sundeck early July which was promised to be completed in a month's timeFast forward ONE YEAR LATER, the whole thing ended with us taking Drytech to ARBITRATION
As other reviewers have indicated, Drytech hires sub-contractors to do the actual workWithin a week of starting, their sub-contractor got in an argument with their carpenter, and BOTH LEFT THE JOBInstead of getting a replacement carpenter, Drytech hired *** workers from *** to continue the job, some of whom jumped into our backyard pool to cool off in the summer heat!
By Dec 2014, the deck had been half-built, torn down due to improper construction and then rebuilt all over again but with so many deficiencies that we escalated matters with Drytech's owner and president, Ken MagoskiThat's when we realized why Drytech was in such disarray
Ken is breathtakingly ***Don't be taken with his sweet-talking demeanour...his business practices are in the ***
When he came over to inspect the unfinished deck, he *** dismissed 90% of the deficiencies, save for a couple of trivial problems that he himself attempted to fix with an electric drill and some glue
As a sanity check, we got a Professional Quantity Surveyor to assess the deck and produce a report outlining all the outstanding deficiencies...which Ken still dismissed
To top it off, Ken asked us to pay up, but quoted an amount that was 20% MORE than the signed contract! When confronted, he explained it by saying he's got a lot of difficult to keep track of paperwork*** ***
Taking things up with the guy at the top usually produces resultsBut in Drytech's case, the guy at the top can't do basic math, pays little to no attention to emails, and has no interest in customer satisfaction
To sum it up, go with Drytech if you:
- Enjoy having your project delayed TEN TIMES longer than promised
- Need practice remembering the names and faces of *** workers on your property who may or may not show up day to day
- Like educating the president of a year old company that common courtesy includes not trespassing on your property unannounced
- Want first hand experience going through the BC Arbitration process
