Deckorators Design and Build

DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY! I cannot stress this enough. We signed a contract on March 14th, gave 45% down and now, on the contract completion date, we still have not received a start date, let alone had any work done. Emails and calls go unanswered for weeks and when he does respond it is with some lame excuse "I was sick" or "my phone broke and I couldn't get emails". Really? You're running a client based business and the only way you can get your emails are through your phone?

So three days after signing the contract, his Home Advisors account was closed and a local news report came out on how he takes peoples money and then doesn't do the work or does it months after the contract date (link below). He has 17 complaints against him at the BBB. We are trying to get a refund since he clearly has no time to do the work. Yet he cashed our check the day after he got it, so what is he doing with the money?

Anyway, if you don't mind someone having a lot of your money for months with no work being done, this is your place. Otherwise, run far away. http://www.wusa9.com/story/news/local/manassas%20/2015/03/14/deckorators-refund-angieslist-manassas/70308164/
