"Angie's list is an unfair forum and I could care less about what their customers pay to write on this website. There is nothing on this website that forces people to tell the truth, It my experience it's just a place for people who don't want to pay their bills or have made bad decisions, to cause harm unjustly to any company they feel wronged by for about $4.00. Angie’s list does this because in order to improve my rating I have to solicit my “good customers” to write “good reviews”. I have been in business since 1997 and have enough “good customers” that I don’t advertise or use Angie’s list. I have never had a complaint on any forum until 2011 when one guy decided not to pay his bill for a gas job and Mr. O’reilly decided to entrust Webb Contracting aka Basement living systems with $20,000 that they stole. In both of these situations A&J was the victim. Because you pay to be a member Angie's List your opinions are your property and cannot be removed without a court order even though they are untrue. You entrusted Mr. Webb with your money and assumed he was paying your bills. When you found out that was untrue he had already checked himself into a mental hospital. As the homeowner you are responsible for paying for improvements to your home. The fact that you paid Mr. Webb and he did not pay me is not my fault. I did not hire him as my representative you did. A mechanics lien is a guarantee of payment for contractor’s services. It's a contractor’s only recourse for collecting money owed to them. If you felt you were wronged why did you negotiated a settlement with me. I even gave you a $1500.00 discount because I felt bad that YOU had trusted Mr. Webb and he did not follow through. As far as your hot water tank, the problem was in the electric panel that Mr. Webb had been working on and had forgotten to turn a breaker back on (you know that). The leak appeared weeks after A&J had been at the home and the job was in the process of drywall. Unfortunately when you hit a transition fitting with a hammer during drywall installation it has the potential to leak (and you were not charged and no damage was done). The instructions (which I kept asking you to read) on your backup sump system say “Do not return to store contact us directly with problems”. There was no issue with the installation therefore no reason for me to return, your issue is with the company that made the pump (you know that too). Every aspect of your plumbing job was overseen by the city of Powell’s representative, and all deemed to be installed correctly and to current standards. I sorry YOU let Mr. Webb get over on you and can only hope you use that as learning experience. But by your posting here it looks like you’re still trying to blame someone else. I wish you nothing but the best and hope eventually you’ll realize you only have yourself to blame. God Bless"

"Work was done on 9/28/11 All statements made by the customer were made after a Mechanics Lien was filed on his property for non payment on 10/24/11 Document no#201110240135839 which is public record and can be seen by all on Franklin County Recorders website. Unfortunately there are going to be few customers that have the something for nothing mind set. A&J acknowledged a mistake was made in this situation and remedied the problem same day. The customer was completely unreasonable and his only motivation for this false post is revenge for pursuing him through proper channels to get payment. This can be proven by the fact he did not complain until he realized we were pursuing him for payment"
