"KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS 10313 Los Alamitos Blvd, Los Alamitos, ca 90720 Rating 1 * for a WRITTEN and SIGNED contract of $13,000, the bill changed to $14,835. Stay away from KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS in LOS ALAMITOS. I would give it a zero star if that was an option. Most dishonest company we have ever hired. Our kids’ house needed to have a fire pit filled in. KATZ sent an employee named VAL in person to discuss of the work that needed to be done. VAL wrote a contract which we agreed upon, of the amount of $13,000. Mid way through the project, VAL sounded very upset and told us that he must charge us $1,835 more if we want the job finished. Val then gave us a new invoice, a total of $14,835. We were 7 hrs away on a car trip. VAL actually asked us to leave him a positive 5* rating, after jacking the cost of the job up considerably. Furthermore, one worker brought while working at the site. We got back the next day, contacted the KATZ office and spoke to CHERYL who acted completely surprised that VAL has given us a contract with the extra charge. CHERYL indicated that she would talk to the PRESIDENT and VAL to straighten everything out. We then received a PDF file, written by the PRESIDENT and VAL , indicating that our kids’ house would have a MECHANIC’S LIEN placed on it we did not acquiesce and pay the additional amount. We are retirees but for nearly 30 yrs, we too had business where we never advertised and never had to. Business came to us by word of mouth and a sterling reputation. If we were to have run our business as dishonest as KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS appeared to have been, we would have been out of business. We heartily do NOT RECOMMEND KATZ DESIGN & BUILDERS, AS THEY ARE THE MOST DISHONEST COMPANY."

"Not even sure where to begin with this nightmare which I will now need to spend more money in legal just to get my money back if I'm lucky. It all started back in 2022 when a respectful salesperson Gary sold me on an underground bunker. Still to this day, he answers the phone for me, and he doesn't even work at Rising S company anymore. To keep a long story shorter, I paid over $100K for my unit after being pushed to make payments to 'keep it on the assembly line'. It has been paid in full since August of 2023 (just about 15 months for anyone counting). I received a response (finally) earlier this year in March that there is new ownership of the company, and the man in charge is Brad Dancer. After trying to contact for quite awhile, I did finally get him on the phone. He apologized and explained to me that he's in over his head. Even though I believe I have been more than patient, I agreed to give him some time to finish and deliver my unit. We agreed that August of this year (2024) I would have it. I checked in by email in June to ask if we were still on track. I received a response that we were indeed on track. Now fast forward to today (10/25/24), I have been completely ghosted by email, phone, and text. No responses at all by ANY form of communication. At this point, I realize I have been robbed of over $100K. And after reading many other consumers reviews on different platforms, it appears I'm not the only one. I will now begin my journey with the Attorney General and Legal process. I'll update my status here so anyone can see what happens. At least people can get answers some way. It is not a good feeling to not be able to get a company to call you, especially after they've taken over $100k. You can't even leave a message on the office line ( which no one has EVER answered by the way). I don't understand how a company like this could still be in business. My recommendation to anyone reading this.....I hope it's not too late for you."
