Goodie & Sons A California Corporation

We called Goodie in after a couple estimates. We received his information from our community senior low income newspaper. When the owner Gerry Goodie came and gave his estate, having been in the business, I felt it reasonable. It included replacing deck steps with railings & bedroom deck railings, a chairlift and master bathroom remodel. Master bath was to move a cabinet, remove the bathtub, replace a larger shower and new floor and counter tops. The steps were well done, as well as the chairlift. The railings used were the cheapest you could buy. They move when in use, even on the shortest of railings. The bedroom deck railings are more wiggly than the rotten wood one they replace! Our bathroom is where they really messed up! The shower is not to code. They used particle board instead of green or cement board Behind the quarts panels. The shower head, no plumber tape was used and first time we tried to used the shower it flooded between the walls, and seeped through at the new floor. The nozzle only turns to barely warm. It is jammed where we cannot access the hot water. A pony wall was installed for me and the wall quarts was a half inch shorter than the top, which would cause water damage Between the wall, behind the quarts. The top was capped with wood instead of the quarts, or tile. it slanted towards the floor not shower. Both not water usable for a shower! More mold and water damage Will happen. The pony wall was also crooked. It cost me additional $800 to have the pony wall fixed to accommodate the glass enclosure. Our bath vanity was replaced, installed unleveled. Which cost me additional labor when I found someone to install the countertop. The plumbing was cut wrong costing me an additional $400 to fix the air vents. After I signed the agreement and gave a deposit, I was later told he did not do the shower door enclosure, he would get the quarts counter top but it would cost an additional $1,800. It wasn't until the vanity was installed he informed me he didn't do the plumbing! Which cost us an additional $1,200 for two faucets and repairs to the damaged air vents. His crew installed two new fans, neither were vented to the exterior but left to vent into the attic! The walls were replaced with cheap very thin paneling, not drywall as all my other walls! So thin the shower head pipe wiggles when we try to adjust the shower head! Then he told me he wasn't going to do the quarts counter tops but credited me $1,500, $300 less than he charged me! Gerry showed up the day the crew finished. I was not given time to check anything out. He wanted full final payment that moment even though the contract said I had 30 days to pay! They did come back to fix a couple of problems with the vanity and cabinet moved. But the shower would need to be demolished to fix its problems. They used paint caulking instead of plumbers caulking which washed off immediately when I went to clean the shower for usage. Gerry spoke highly of his crew and their experiences. They were polite, and cleaned up after themselves. But the two in the bathroom had no knowledge of the codes and proper way to install the shower. When I spoke to them about it, they said “it is how they were told to do it.” Even the trims were done wrong.
I Called Gerry Goode last week, he told me he would return my call that evening. To date Gerry Goodie has not returned my phone call to fix the shower handle and reimburse me for the extra cost his crew caused due to lack of knowledge!
We do not recommend this company to anyone!
As a disabled senior, I feel I was taken advantage of! 3 months now, a contracted $23,000 job cost $30,000 and I still cannot use the shower due to barely warm water! I needed the shower for my equipment to fit for bathing and safety.
