The ALB, LLC Home Improvement and Landscaping

This was the WORST experience ever with a home improvement contractor He did work for me before on the outside of my home and everything was OK so I hired him to do my basement The workers (except for one) were unskilled - bad drywalling, tape and mudding EXTREMELY POOR!!! His workers NEVER work one full day and never showed up before 11am Many time I waited and no one came I paid this man over half of the price and got a basement in shambles - in worst condition than when his "company" started I have recessed lights were the light bulbs are hanging out He left my laundry room COMPLETELY unfinished - Not one job was ever completed His worker unplugged my freezer and I lost hundreds in food I have so much badly cut drywall that the project would of taken times the amount of drywall needed We made arrangement to return some of the money - he return some only because I kept calling him.and I haven't heard from him since

This was the WORST experience ever with a home improvement contractor. He did work for me before on the outside of my home and everything was OK so I hired him to do my basement. The workers (except for one) were unskilled - bad drywalling, tape and mudding EXTREMELY POOR!!! His workers NEVER work one full day and never showed up before 11am. Many time I waited and no one came. I paid this man over half of the price and got a basement in shambles - in worst condition than when his "company" started. I have recessed lights were the light bulbs are hanging out. He left my laundry room COMPLETELY unfinished - Not one job was ever completed. His worker unplugged my freezer and I lost hundreds in food. I have so much badly cut drywall that the project would of taken 3 times the amount of drywall needed. We made arrangement to return some of the money - he return some only because I kept calling him.and I haven't heard from him since.

Unfortunately, I awarded a contract to install (4) sump pumps to this small minority owned company. The contract was awarded April 2014 and a few months later the contractor asked for money up front to pay his hired help. a few months later he asked that the university pay for all materials and he would invoice us for labor once the work was complete. Obviously the company was trying to sub-contract the work but was unsuccessful. On 6 January 2015, based on the company's inability to do the work I terminated the contract and requested reimbursement of the $14,131.43. The owner informed me that he did not have the money. The advanced payment was for materials and the money was spent elsewhere. The owner did not and will not answer my calls because, and I quote " I am extremely busy trying to keep my business afloat, this is the time is the season when my type of work is in high demand, I am not ignoring you, but due to my schedule, it is best that I communicate by text or email, this is the time of the year when I must pound the pavement constantly and considerately to complete for contracts ". The problem with this statement is that he answered the phone "every" time I called him prior to the contract being canceled. The uninversity is current in the process of suing the company for the funds.
