Initial Business Response /* (1000, 14, 2017/11/20) */
I was hired to do a patio job for mrs *** in here back yard a total of sq ft that includes labor,material,hauling away concrete and top soil,two years of warranty the warranty covers only if the patio sinks down a total cost off 6,400, we
started the job on9-23-as we started excavation one of my employees told me that mrs *** is higher and we need to built a wall so the patio could be leveled,so I approached mrs *** and told her that we need to built a wall so the patio could be leveled, that will be extra $that includes labor,bricks,glue and I told mrs *** $6,is only for the patio she said ok, on 9-24-she approached me and asked me if I could trim her bushes against the garage I told her that I will charge her $to trim them and she told me come on dude I'm waiting close to$7,so I said to my self ok that's fine so on the same day she approached me again and told me if I could make the section of the garage nice,I told mrs *** that we could put down two tons off river rock,and told her I will charge you $for the river rock $delivery $labor because we need to come another day and again she said come on dude I'm wasting so much money on you,so I said to my self that's fine on 9-25-we were finishing the patio and I noticed that we were missing bricks so I call the nursery and gave them my information and dimensions of the patio and told them why are we missing bricks and they told me sometimes they're miscalculate wrong and they said that brick is two different sizes so it was not my fault, so I approached mrs *** that we need more bricks and it will be $more and she said ok,the job was finished on9-25-as we are cleaning one of my employees told me there are bricks left over so I told mrs *** and said put them in the garage,so we finish cleaning and we started putting wet sealer on the patio,so couple days later mrs *** call me that there were stains on the patio and I told her ok I will fixed it so I send one of my employees to go fixed it like two time that season I never told her that I was not going to fixed it that employee is my cousin that works for me,I feel that mrs *** owes me for the bushes $45,river rock $110,delivery $45,labor $a total off $for the extra work,and my cousin took pictures of each time I send him in he was there two times fixing the stains off the sealer, I'm not charging her extra time of my employee each time will to mrs *** I would have to paygas,labor,and she is still complaining about her refund that doesn't exist,and all the extra job that I did doesn't count
Initial Consumer Rebuttal /* (3000, 16, 2017/11/21) */
(The consumer indicated he/she DID NOT accept the response from the business.)
I am attaching the text messages that we have exchanged as proof that this gentleman is lyingTo begin with I would like to clarify that I never once approached him by dudeWhen he gave me a quote he included in that price the rocks that he put by my garage and the trimming of the bushesSo we agreed at $because he was including all the material, sealer, and labor for the patio, which in reality it's not my fault if he or the nursery miscalculated,he gave me that pricingIt's unbelievable to see the capacity of his lying when he states that I kept on coming up to him to do more jobs when that was already talked about way in the beginning and agreed onIt's funny how he acknowledged to me in a conversation that even his dad stated he shouldn't be charging me for the extra brickHe makes me seem like I kept on asking for extra stuff when in reality I always treated this gentleman and his workers with respectHe sure never mentions how I would buy him and his workers lunch every day they were out here workingThe day he put the sealer down for the brick and before he left I pointed out that there was a stain and he said that should go away by the next dayThat day he was in a hurry because he said he needed to go home, because his wife was mad at him for working on a Sunday so he needed to leave right awayThat also isn't my faultIf this job was completely out of his way then he should never taken the jobIn these text messages that I have attached he is also acknowledging that he does owe me that refund of $and if you look the messages have different days were he keeps stating he mailed me that refundSo if I owed him why would he keep promising I would get that refundI see that I will get no were with him regarding this situationI hope that my complaint can help other consumers be aware of what kind of business he runs and do not trust his company because he is not an honest person to make business with at allIf he is honest enough he will acknowledge that everything he wrote is not true and at least make things rightIt's sad to see that even with the proof I have submitted he is lying about the whole situationI know these text messages I have from him will help me as evidence if I decide to take a further step either by court or media

Wow so I'm a liar I have five witnesses that mrs *** approached me for extra work talking about dude,the 6,was only for the patio work,there was never a refund mrs *** thinks that there was a refund because she called the nursery, yes she was texting me left and right and bugging me so I just text her saying yes I will pay you I just said it just so she could leave me aloneMrs *** thank you very much for buying lunch for my workers,with all due respect no one told you to buy them lunch my workers always have lunch from home if not they buy there own lunch.the job was completed now she has warranty until if something goes wrong I will send my employees to fixed it,now mrs *** is threatening me to go to court that no problem once again I have five witnesses, know mrs *** said that she called the nursery if she shows me prove from the nursery that I owe her $I will pay here

First of all, now all of a sudden Mr *** has witnesses that according to him I would ask for extra workHe should really stop and think about what he is saying because when we negotiated the price on the patio no one was there to witness the price except him and I, which he agreed on the $which he was including material, labor and to cut the bushes and add the rocks to the backI don't understand how he can be offended when in fact I am proving that he indeed is a "Liar"I am submitting more of the text messages that came directly from Mr ***It's funny how he is acknowledging that I did approach him and told him I did call the nursery myself to get the prices since he never, when I repeatedly asked him to show me the receipts of the extra brick he purchasedWhen I called the *** *** which is located in Des Plaines, ILI spoke to a gentleman by the name of ChrisHe gave me the following prices and these prices are for the publicHe explained that landscaping companies get a 15% discount so therefore he got a much cheaper price for the extra brickXL Stone $4.50, Standard- $2.25, Half Stone- $1.15, and Dimensionals - $($with discount that is given to landscaping companies)What more proof does this gentleman want from meHow in Gods name would I know all this informationThe business bureau can call and verify all this informationJust keep in mind all this information was give to me last yearAfter getting all this information from the nursery, I approached Mr *** and asked him how many extra bricks he purchased and the size of the brickI told him that I reached out to the nursery and that he was therefore overcharged for the extra bricks.Which there I gave him the benefit of the doubtAccording to him he called the nursery and asked them why they overcharged himThe text messages I'm submitting this time around state from Mr *** that according to the nursery he was going to get a refund from them and they were going to put it in his business account since he paid with his business cardThen he was going to forward the refund to meIn this text message I even offered in picking up my refundSo how can he now say there wasn't a refund when he himself has acknowledged this in text messagesHow dare he also accuse me of bothering him or in his professional way of saying I was bugging him, when it wasn't only due to the refundI kept texting him because I wanted that stain from the patio taken care ofThe reason I kept texting him because he kept on saying that he would come a certain weekend and that never happenedSo I was not bugging him I was following up with him to see when he would come out and have that stain removedIf asked for I can submit a script of all the text messages we would exchange and were he would always give me some kind of excuse of why he couldn't come out to fix the problemThis gentleman even went as far as sending me a picture of his dying relative and stating that he wouldn't be able to make itIt took a whole year for this stain to be taken care of and that is because his cousin came out to complete the jobI never saw Mr *** ever again
I believe I have submitted and given him enough proofWith this I hope he can keep his word and give me my refund for the overcharged bricksHe knows I have a refund coming to me.Even though he now claims to say its something that I happened to believe and that he just said yes so I could leave him alone
I hope the Revdex.com could see in fact that this gentleman does not conduct business the way he shouldI really hope that with this complaint I can help other consumers not make the same mistake I didIf they do business with Mr *** they should make sure they pay for the services once the job is done and not aheadHave him give a written contract that way this doesn't happen to anyone elseConsumers please be aware with this landscaping company
