Here are the reasons we would caution potential clients to not use John Miller's services in any capacity. -John lied to us about filing for permits and getting city inspections. When we became suspicious and looked into it with the city, we found that they had absolutely NO record of any permits being granted, plans being submitted, or inspections taking place on our property by John Miller. -John's employees are unprofessional and inconsistent. He and his employees would often show up to the job site at 10AM or later and the staff he employed rotated frequently. -Some of the pictures on John's website do not appear to be his original designs. You can click on the images on his website and search them on Google to find the original sources. -Our new contractor has informed us that many of the prices John provided in his initial estimate were gross exaggerations. For example, he lists the cost of 1 bluestone monolithic step at ~$1,000 when, in fact, it's closer to $300/step.
Description of Work: My husband and I hired John Miller ("Studio 1351 Designs", now "Miller Landscape Company") to complete a total patio renovation in June 2016. One year later, we have had to fire John and hire another contractor and the job will end up costing us double the original estimate because most of the work John completed was incorrect and not up to city code.
