"We paid them about $8k in 2008 to fix foundation and install about 10 adjustable 'lifetime warranted' pilings. No, it did not fix problem. So we had to pay them another $10k in 2012 when (lo and behold) they had to put in, yes, another 10 pilings (see, uhm, apparently, the problem was not with the 'warranted' pilings, oh noooo, it needed MORE pilings!). Again we had to pay EXTRA for the 'Lifetime Transferrable Warranty'. Guess what? It did not fix the problem! We just called them out again here in summer 2022, and (lo and behold) they need to put in 20 more pilings (you see, as a layman, apparently I just do not understand that the problem is not with the warranted pilings, noooo, it needs MORE pilings). This time the bill is $23k, you read it right, $23,000.00 and I was just about to pay it too, except for one thing... the greedy guts tried to slip in $3,000 of 'engineering' which when I questioned it was to cover work that should be warranted. Amber and Scotty are not going to cover the warranty on adjustments to 13 pilings previously installed, for which I paid thousands extra for the Lifetime Transferrable Warranty. So, I got on the buggy ride, I was determined to ride it out, why? So I could have a piece of paper called a Lifetime Transferrable Warranty to hand to a realtor if I ever sell the house. I know it is worthless now, less than worthless, it is downright expensive worthlessness. RUN don't walk RUN!!!!!!!!!! This is a very expensive charade with no end, just deeper and deeper sunk cost purveyed by dishonest operators who DO NOT HONOR their warranty on so-called work that they KNOW good and well does not WORK, it never fixes the problem, just sets you up for more costly return visits."
