We are now moving into full legal proceedings with this scam. PLEASE, if any of you have dealings with ANC Customs contact the CSLB immediately or the Merced County District Attorney's  office and file your complaints!!!

Our losses now total over $24k.

 Update July 2014!!!!

We have removed the finished sheetrock from entire bathroom and found major electrical and plumbing code violations. They created a junction box to patch wires too short to reach the main 3 switch/outlet. The junction box has at least 3 safety violations, as the rest of the outlets they rewired. Any /all of these is a fire hazard. FYI----There were multiple buried junctions boxes, anyone of them could have caused a fire.

The shower wall plumbing they created revealed pipes that were not even soldered, which would have caused flooding.

They left live wires on the ground, did not replace old wall insulation with new,  as they said they did and I paid for.

If I could upload images, you could see all the wires behind the "finished sheetrock" looks like a cats paw game.

Thank God, I did not allow ANC Customs to finish this project!























10/2014

ATTENTION ALL HOMEOWNERS THAT MAY HaVE HAD WORK DONE BY THESE PEOPLE: HAVE IT INSPECTED, especially the electrical. The junction box they buried behind the finished wall is one of the most illegal things you can do. My house would have burnt down.

How can these three people sleep at night knowing their work can burn down a home, families hurt or worse?

Don't let these people get away with the damages they have caused to several homes. File your California State License Board complaint today, our investigation is about to begin, the state needs your complaints. Please file today!







 































 

I would never use this company again. It was a joke. The shortcuts we found out about should have never happened.

A COMPLETE NIGHTMARE! Jacob Cordes, Marcus Foutch & "wife" Joanie Cordes are all a fraud! Only hire if you want your property ruined! Terrible workmanship -flooded my home during a leak repair. see photo? several lights look like this. hire at your own risk!! I'm paying rent & mortgage thanks to these CLOWNS!

Started good. Origional quote was $10,000 which I had no problem with. The project was to take about 4 weeks. They ran into an issue with Lead paint which ended up costing them about 3 days labor. When putting up barrier to remove the Lead paint the barrier was held up with 2x4's that poked 2 holes in the bedroom ceiling and 2 more in the hall ceiling that wasn't being worked on. Later I found out they were going to cover up my origional insulation on a exterior wall which in the quote had a cost to replace it. I had to bring it to their attention to get them to replace it. During the remodel which ended up taking 6 weeks instead of 4. I saw 3 to 4 employees get fired from their employment (not my issue I just want my job completed). During construction it noticed that my attic fan wasn't working and due to having a injured back at the time I asked if they could replace it. I was told the fan itself was about $100.00. I said ok. Later I found out my quote had jumped from $10,000 to $10,500. They said it was due to rewiring the fan. My bathroom exhaust fan (less than 1 year old)got shorted out due to their wiring , which they did replace. On top of the quote I still paid for all the paint and primer to cover the work that was done, the closet doors and metal trim for the shower edges. Per the quote I purchased all the tile for the shower, the floor and the vanity top. As the contract stated when each of the 4 checks were requested I had the check for them within 1 to 2 days without failure. The first 2 checks were actually paid together to help cover the permit. When things were finally coming to a close and we were doing inspections as we were asked to do, they started demanding their final check before they had finished the touchups. We were told if I didn't pay them in full they were going to contact their Attorney and start processing, was told 3 or 4 times. I still had the final check delivered to them on the second day. Also it was noticed the new $200 toilet I paid for in the quote had a chip in it, which they came back out and patched and the new vanity that was purchased had a chip in the cabinet in which we noticed.  (Though the quote said they were going to build and didn't) They installed it without letting us know that it wasn't built but bought.. They told me to make a list at end of each day, then his wife came and told us that we shouldn't be doing that even though they told us to.  Also when contract was signed Mark told us he would give us receipts, (should have put in contract but didn't, we trusted him) and at the end of the job his wife said they don't do that. So we didnt get receipts. Don't be mistaken bathroom is alot nicer then it was originially, just had alot of issues.
