Complaint: [redacted]
I am rejecting this response because:Once again, Mr. P[redacted] is not speaking the truth, and is once again refusing to take responsibility and attempting to divert attention from the matter at hand—his shoddy workmanship and the dangerous condition in which he left my home—by accusing me of "not wanting to pay the deductible." As follows:1. Re <<Ms. [redacted] has only talked to them on 9/9/16 about her deductible>> untrue. I had a conversation with [redacted] on 11/20/16 and told him again about my concerns with Mr. P[redacted]'s work. During that recorded conversation, I told Mr. [redacted] I would gladly pay [redacted] the deductible, but that Mr. P[redacted] should be accountable for his work.2. Re << (She talked to [redacted]) On 11/10/16 about an issue with whoever was doing the repairs at her residence>> again, untrue. My floorboards were separating after installation as a normal part of adjusting to the temperature and humidity, and before I contacted the flooring company to follow up with them, I contacted [redacted] to see if they needed to be involved in that since it was part of the intial repairs.  There was no "problem" with that company. I was simply doing my due diligence.3. Re <<Ms. [redacted] was informed by text on 8/22/2016 (thread starting at 10:47am) that her hardwood floor would have to wait likely a couple of months before it could be sanded and refinished. She responded by text that she did not to wait, and would have someone else do the hardwood floor, and could maybe just replace the hathat ood.>> I do not know what "replace the hathat ood" means. Nonetheless, this is out of context, and Mr. P[redacted] knows that. I was extremely concerned about mold. This became even more troublding after I had several hardwood flooring companies give me estimates on replacing the kitchen floor. When they came to my house, they were shocked by 1) the condition left by Mr. P[redacted], 2) the high water content they stil measured under my floors and 3) the fact that Mr. P[redacted] tried repeatedly to convince me just to sand the floors down rather than tear them up to let them dry, and then replace them. All three companies, and a close friend who's a contractor, all looked at the floor and said it just wouldn't be the same, and really needed to be torn up.I shared my concerns about mold repeatedly with both Mr. P[redacted], but he continued to insist that the floor only needed to be sanded down. Mr. P[redacted] knew the amount that [redacted] estimated. I do not want to sound cynical, but it seems obvious that, given a set sum, Mr. P[redacted] stood to gain more money if he used cheaper material and craftsmanship. All three hardwood flooring companies I consulted said this was very common with contractors working under insurance payment. Re <<I believe Ms. [redacted] is confusing us with the company that did her repairs.>> I'm sorry, that's just silly. The company that installed my floors did a great job, and didn't leave one single nail or board. Additionally, the company that intalled my floors didnt' do the work until the end of October. I have date-stamped photographs from August, shortly after Mr. P[redacted] had done his work, of the mess. I also sent a text to Mr. P[redacted] shortly after he did the intial work and told him I was very displeased by how he left my house, told him I did not want him to work on it any longer, and asked him to please stop calling [redacted]. He did not offer to come back and make it right. He did not apologize. He did not ask exactly what was wrong. His text response just said "Okay, thank you." I didn't hear from him again until he showed up several times at my home, unannounced, when I was not there (which is disturbing and unprofessional on its own), asking me to co-sign his check. I had to text him to please stop just showing up, and to call in advance so I could arrange to be there.   Re <<We have been a preferred contractor with [redacted] for 13+ years. [redacted] keeps detailed records of all contact with the insured (members), and is very particular and prompt of notifying us or any PDRP contractor of any issues>> When I called [redacted] directly (not Mr. Lovelace) and asked about Northern Colorado Restoration, I was told on two separate occassions that there was no such company listed as a preferred contractor with [redacted]. Rd <<I believe Ms. [redacted] is confusing us with whoever is doing her repairs, and [redacted] agrees with that assessment.>> Once again, this is just silly, and is also untrue. Mr. [redacted] at [redacted] is very clear that I am displeased with Mr. P[redacted]'s work. They are also very clear that I have no issue with paying the deductible, and would happily pay them today. The issue is the shoddy work, unprofessional attitude and dangerous conditions left by Mr. P[redacted]. I have tried to compromise with Mr. P[redacted]. And he still has not tried to make any of this right.All in all, I believe this is not good business, and not fitting for someone with a Revdex.com certification.

Per conversation with adjusters at [redacted] on 11/23/16 Ms. [redacted] has only talked to them on 9/9/16 about her deductible in which she was told that she owed the deductible. On 11/10/16 about an issue with whoever was doing the repairs at her residence, and on 11/22/16 after we had repeatedly tried contacting her by phone and text again about her deductible, and she was informed again, that she owes her deductible. Also, [redacted] had contacted her on 11/23/2016 at about 4pm CST to inform her that she still owes her deductible, and she replied that she understood.Ms. [redacted] was informed by text on 8/22/2016 (thread starting at 10:47am) that her hardwood floor would have to wait likely a couple of months before it could be sanded and refinished. She responded by text that she did not to wait, and would have someone else do the hardwood floor, and could maybe just replace the hathat ood. I responded by text that even if the hardwood was removed, the subfloor would need additional time to dry, where new hardwood could be installed and finished (albeit not as long). She never responded to that text.I believe Ms. [redacted] is confusing us with the company that did her repairs. EX. Nails all over the floor, baseboards damaged, and left outside with nails sticking out, and scattered throughout the house. We pulled 4 pieces of trim/baseboard (1 piece about 6 1/2 feet long, 2 pieces over 2 feet long, and 1 piece over 1 foot long) about 12 lineal feet, the 4 pieces of baseboard were undamaged, nails pulled, and left on the fireplace mantel. Whoever did the repairs, would have had to pull the remaining baseboards.Ms. [redacted] was also informed via text on 8/30/16 starting at 10:02am that we had spoken to her adjuster, and that he said that [redacted] would only pay for what the independent flooring cost estimator (ITEL) had allowed for, this was the cost on our estimate. We have no control over the costs or prices, that is given to us by [redacted], and we cannot change that. Ms. [redacted] was paid by [redacted] from our estimate, barring any changes or supplementals. [redacted] approves all estimates before payment is made.We have been a preferred contractor with [redacted] for 13+ years. [redacted] keeps detailed records of all contact with the insured (members), and is very particular and prompt of notifying us or any PDRP contractor of any issues, and the resolution of those issues. [redacted] per their adjusters  have no complaint (via 11/23 phone call with us).I believe Ms. [redacted] is confusing us with whoever is doing her repairs, and [redacted] agrees with that assessment. Kevin P[redacted]

adhesive from the tape on the hardwood floor. She was informed that this could be easily removed, and/or would be sanded off during hardwood floor refinishing. Baseboards were not taken from the residence, and only 12 lineal feet of baseboard were detached, so it was not possible that there were baseboard with nails in them laying in the yard, plus all baseboards that were detached had the nails removed. Ms. [redacted] was also informed that her hardwood floor would take additional time to dry, as moisture content was lowered to were there would be no further damage to the hardwood, but to be low enough for it to be sanded and refinished would take additional time to wait(this is common). Further drying with drying equipment would be expensive and unnecessary as it will dry down on its own. [redacted] (her insurance) was aware of this. Her flooring other than the kitchen hardwood that was damaged was the living area laminate flooring which did not have nails, it was a click together flooring. Ms. [redacted] wanted us to remove her hardwood floor, and all of her laminate floor, which was not needed, as hardwood floor was salvagable, and the remaining undamaged laminate could remain in place until it was all being replaced. Removing the hardwood floor and remaining laminate flooring would have been unwarranted and much more expensive to be done as part of the emergency service. Ms. [redacted] wanted a replacement flooring that was twice the cost of what she had, and stated that the insurance would pay for it (unusual). When I contacted the insurance adjuster he stated that she would only get like kind and quality and not something more expensive, unless she paid the difference. This angered her, and she then did not want us to do the repairs. [redacted] (her insurance) has explained to her multiple times that she owes the deductible, but has ignored them also. It comes down to she has a $500 deductible that she has not wanted to pay from the start of the claim, and has wanted extra things that the insurance would not be paying for, and she did not want to pay for it either.
