Solage Landscape Exteriors

Review: WE ENTERED INTO AN AGREEMENT WITH SOLAGE IN APRIL OF 2013 TO LANDSCAPE OUR BACKYARD. [redacted] OF SOLAGE PROVIDED US WITH A PAYMENT PLAN, A CERTAIN PERCENTAGE UP FRONT, CERTAIN PERCENTAGE FOR EACH PIECE OF WORK. THE WORK ALWAYS LAGGED BEHIND THE PAYMENT BUT WE KEPT GETTING ASSURANCES THAT HE WILL CATCH UP. WHEN WE HAD PAID 95% OF THE PAYMENT THERE WAS ONLY 80 TO 85% OF THE WORK COMPLETED. HE NEVER ANSWERED MY EMAILS OR TEXT MESSAGES HOWEVER HE KEPT PROMISING MY WIFE THAT HE WILL COME AND FINISH THE JOB DOZENS OF TIMES BUT NEVER KEPT HIS WORD ONCE. WE STARTED RECEIVING LETTERS FROM HIS OVER DUE SUPPLIERS THAT WE ARE RESPONSIBLE AND THAT THEY WOULD PLACE A LIEN ON OUR PROPERTY. RESOURCE BUILDING MATERIALS DID JUST THAT. LAST WEEK WE GOT A NOTICE THAT THEY WOULD FILE A LAWSUIT. WE THEN PAID THEM THE 5% WE OWED SOLAGE AND GOT AN UNCONDITIONAL RELEASE SIGNED. WE HAVE ANOTHER SUPPLIER THREATENING THE SAME WAY. STEVE KEEPS PROMISING US THAT HE IS GOING TO SET UP A PAYMENT PLAN WITH THEM AND GET US OUT OF THE LOOP. SOLAGE HAS ALSO DONE THE SAME WITH OVER A DOZEN OTHER CUSTOMERS WITH WHOM WE ARE IN TOUCH. WE PLAN TO LODGE A COMPLAINT WITH THE CONTRACTORS STATE LICENSING BOARD, WE UNDERSTAND THAT SOLAGE'S LICENSE HAS BEEN SUSPENDED AND THAT THE BOND MAY BE REVOKED. ALL WE NEED IS TO CLEAR US FROM ANY LIENS AND PREVENT LAWSUITS FROM HIS SUPPLIERS AND LASTLY FINISH THE JOB.Desired Settlement: LIENS TO BE CLEARED, RELEASES DELIVERED AND THE JOB TO BE COMPLETED AS PROMISED.

Review: We hired [redacted]/Solage in March, 2013 to do an extensive landscape remodel - he left the job in total disarray after concrete was poured - never returned to finish irrigation, planting, lighting, etc - numerous promises, requests for additional money. He owes us money and we had to pay a supplier to circumvent a possible lien. He talks a good game - but has absolutely NO follow through. We have made numerous attempts to collect the monies owed (certified letters, e-mail, etc) with absolutely no response from Mr. [redacted]. We had to hire another contractor to finish the project.Desired Settlement: $2,000 - funds provided for work plus $1,274.79 paid to Caliber Concrete Pumping to avoid having a lien placed against our homeTotal $3,274.79
