When I moved I’m by home I had to gut my washroom and my den. When I was finally able to get the work done Iron City came and did all of the finishing work and I was very pleased with the outcome.
One of the main reason why we sign the contract with Derrick Iron city because, he stated , " this project will take about 4 to 6 weeks no longer " so we give him a start up fee of $ 10,000 ,well he started the Job in Oct 2017 around the end of Oct he was not supplying the material to his crew so that cause our home to be push back,. The money was payed as we agree to the contract , but I notice the first contract he try not to include the material and it was change as we agree to supply a list material , but his crew started complaining that they were not getting paid and we were trying to finish our home, they said that Derrick will be upset with them and lose their jobs if we said anything about this matter . Well it has been around 4 weeks and my home was no were close to finish ! My husband I agree to pay one of his crew who is the lead man Ezequiel Gonzalez $ 4000 and he will pay us back when Derrick pays them, to keep them on the job , but that never happen , so here we are in Jan 2018 our roof was not cover , it rain in our home causing damage to sheetrock and etc , his contract stated our home will be secured, close up all holes, cover the roof at all time he fail to do that , he fired his crew and hiring someone else and worked about a month ,he never finish the job ! we paid for the material and labor for work he supposedly have done , Derrick was notify serval time concerning this project he abandoned this job and left us in a bind physical , financial and mentally . I truly believe that Derrick and Ezequiel scam us because we cannot get in touch with Ezequiel to pay our $ 4000 back and Derrick just did not abide in his contract he owes $ 4800, total amount is due $8800 .

IronCity Contracting is a general contracting company. During our initial conversation we were asked to provide a quote for the entire job. *** then asked us to itemize the quote by each trade. Several months later, ***’ asked if we could complete the framing only. Upon signing the contract, *** asked for the phone numbers of our electrician and plumber as they decided that they would be their own general contractor.
During the second week on the job we began to notice insubordination from our framing crew. Our framing crew demanded more money due to the fact that ***’ showed them a contract which was said to be our contract. However, the amount they were shown was more than the actual contract with IronCity; and they threatened that if we did not pay them more money then they would be paid directly by ***. When speaking to ***s, he stated that he paid our crew $4,000; he also stated that after speaking with his attorney, he was informed that according to our signed contract, any monies paid directly to a sub-contractor would not be considered payment toward the contract with IronCity Contracting.
Due to these circumstances, we had to bring in a new crew as the original crew had now broken the “Non-Compete” clause they had with IronCity. There was a balance of approximately $14,000 left on the contract; the only work that was left to be done were the shingles on the new addition which cost $2,300. We received a text from *** stating that she would be fining IronCity Contracting hundreds of dollars per day for each day past three weeks plus a litany of other fines ($4,000 that was paid to the sub-contractors and materials that were supposedly purchased by ***’.).
We did not feel comfortable about getting paid after completing the final step of installing the shingles, therefore, we asked that the balance of the money be placed in an escrow account until the shingles were completed on the new addition. ***s stated that he would speak to his wife regarding this and get back with us.

A few days later, we received a phone call from our referred electrician who was working inside ***’ home informing us that ***’ had someone else there installing the shingles on their roof. Our equipment was still at their home which our electrician was not allowed to retrieve. We’ve never heard any more from Mr. or *** since that time.
It is a fact that we do not owe ***’ any monies however, IronCity Contracting is owed approximately $14,000 for the balance of the contract as well as our equipment that we have not yet received.

Iron City repaired my home after we flooded in Baton Rouge. As I see my neighbors still in trailers and I hear all of the horror stories about how the contractor stole from them, I can say I’m truly blessed for hiring Iron City. Not only did they do a Great job, but they were very professional.
