"Allen Santone owes me $4580 dollars. I was awarded a civil judgement against him that he has made no attempt to date to pay. Allen's company was hired to replace older wooden decking and railing with Trex. I paid $6838 upfront to cover demo and $3488 of that for the Trex decking. Similar to the negative reviews below and on Angie's List Allen quoted a total of $9838 for the entire job on a very vague contract then began asking for additional money after demolition left the deck unusable. Initially, I was asked for additional money to address wood rot on the frame and joists of the original deck. This was not completely unexpected due to its age. Allen then came back and asked for additional money stating that the joists were not level, another similarity to one of the negative posts below. After significant delays, my goal was to get the job finished as I had already paid a significant amount of money to Allen and his company. At this point Allen tried to convince me to hire his company to construct a retaining wall, which I declined and simply asked that he finish the job I had paid for. After declining his services to construct a retaining wall several more times and insisting that he do the work he'd been paid for he then told me that his "connection" who he normally gets materials for $1000 from could not be located and that the total for materials was now over $10,000. If you recall I paid for materials upfront. By this time we were several months beyond the start of the project. Since the contract that work was being executed against was a fixed price contract I was not willing to pay the additional cost for materials. At that point Allen stated that he was only willing to issue me a partial refund of $2400 which didn't even cover the money I had paid for materials that were NEVER DELIVERED. I requested that Allen return half of what I had paid him, which I thought was more than fair since he was the one breaking the contract. He refused. I ended up filing a claim against him in South Carolina's small claims court for which I was awarded $4580. I had to hire a whole new company to not only finish the work but also address issues that I had paid Allen and his company for. I also ended up purchasing materials twice since Allen took money for materials that he never ordered or delivered and refused to refund payment for."

"It went great . He is very professional and trust worthy. Great work !!!!!!!!"

"They arrived on time and set up protective barriers between the room and the rest of the house. The first item was demolition of the existing ceiling. Once that was complete, we saw that durapex pipe ran the entire length of the room. Since that was the cause of the initial leak, they were very considerate and allowed us time to replace it so we could prevent future issues. They then installed the new ceiling. The install took longer than anticipated due to weather causing the drywall compound to take longer to dry and equipment malfunctions. Once the work was done, they were paid and left for their next job. After a day or two to let all the dust settle with no activity in the room is when we found all of the problems. They hadn't bothered to clean the dust from the in room hallway and bathroom, they snapped off the toggle for the hallway light switch and didn't tell us, the ceiling corners they had filled with compound were rounded instead of square, the ceiling seams were lumpy and uneven and there were pits and lines everywhere. No amount of paint was going to hide the horrendously amature job. We found 1/4 to 1/2 an inch of drywall compound in the corners where they tried to cover a 1/2 gap between the wall top and installed ceiling. I now have to pay someone else to fix this fiasco."

"Went great! They maximized my insurance claim and took care of all the negotiations, communicated well throughout the whole process (even if I was texting them a question at 9pm!), made me very comfortable with the process, and did the work in a timely manner."
