DEL REAL TILE AND STONE INC.

MR. MRS. YANG HIRED ME TO DO THE SHOWER WALLS.IN HER BATHROOM. SHE ASKED ME IF I KNEW SOME GOOD WORKERS THAT I CAN REFER TO HER SO SHE CAN. GET HER BATHROOM PROJECT COMPLETED. I GAVE HER SOME REFERENCES. AND SHE HIRED THEM. SHE WAS THE GENERAL. CONTRACTOR I WAS THE SUB CONTRACTOR. SHE WAS GIVEN $10,000 by HER INSURANCE TO FIX HER BATHROOM THE SHOWER WAS NOT INCLUDED OR LINEN CLOSET, OR CUSTOM VANITY WITH QUARTZ SLAB. OR NEW TOILET. THE SUBS SHE HIRED WENT ABOVE AND BEYOND FOR HER. PLUMBER ADDED FOR FREE A SHOWER HEAD. WITH A NEW SHOWER VALVE. CARPENTER MADE REAL OAK CUSTOM LINEN CLOSET WITH. VANITY ON RIGHT SIDE. UNDERMIOUNT. SINK. WITH CUSTOM QUARTZ. I WENT AHEAD AND ADDED A SHAMPOO. CUSTOM NICHE. AND INSULATION IN WALLS. I. PROVIDED THE INSULATION. ALWAYS TRY AND HELP MY CUSTOMERS AND SAVE THEM MONEY IF POSSIBLE. WHOLE PROJECT WAS GIVEN TWO WEEKS TO COMPLETE. THE FIRST DAY MRS. YANG CANCELED ON THE PLUMBERS SHE COULD’NT MAKE UP HER MIND WHAT TYPE OF TUB SHE WANTED. I THOUGHT THAT WAS VERY UNPROFESSIONAL. AND I STARTED GETTING A BAD VIBE ABOUT THE WHOLE SITUATION. I WAS NOT ABLE TO START UNTIL PLUMBER INSTALLED. NEW TUB , VALVE AND SHOWER HEAD. ON THAT DAY. MRS. YANG ASKED ME IF I CAN PLEASE. PICK UP TUB FROM STOCKTON, AND TOILET AND SINK. FROM ANTIOCH. DIDN’T OFFER TO PAY ME AN EXTRA TRIP CHARGE . JI WAS A LITTLE SURPRISED. BUT DIDNT SAY ANYTHING. PLUMBER CAME IN TUESDAY AFTERNOON. AND INSTALLED. VALVE, SHOWER HEAD AND TUB. . I WAS NOT ABLE TO START TILL WEDNESDAY. 2 DAYS WENT TO WASTE. FOR ME. I STARTED PREPPING SHOWER WALLS INSTALLING INSULATION , INSTALLING HARDIBACKER, INSTALLED RED GUARD WATERPROOF ON SHOWER WALLS TO PROTECT FROM WATER DAMAGING. ON SATURDAY OF THE FIRST WEEK INTO THE PROJECT THEY WANTED TO GO SEE THEIR NEPHEW PLAY SOCCER. AND AFTER THE GAME THEY WERE GOING TO GO. EAT WITH THRE FAMILY.. I STARTED GETTING BOTHER BY ALL THESE DELAYS. I ASKED POLITELY. “ HOW ABOJT IF YOU GO TO THE GAME AND INSTALL SOME RECORDING CAMERAS. IF THAT WILL MAKE YOU FEEL MORE COMFORTABLE. SO I CAN START EARLY IN THE MORNING. AND GET AHEAD. I O NLY HAVE 6 DAYS LEFT. I SAID TO THEM. THEY IGNORED MY QUESTION AND SAID WE WILL CALL YOU WHEN WE GET HOME. IF YOU WANT TO COME ON SATURDAY. I DID NOT RECEIVE A PHONE CALL FROM THEM UNTIL ALMOST 3 pm. DESPITE BEING THAT LATE I STILL SHOWED UP. TO WORK IN THE EVENING BECAUSE I WANTED TO FINISH. THAT EXPLAINS WHY I WOULD ARRIVE IN THE AFTERNOONS AND WORK TILL 9 pm. THE MANAGER IN THOSE CONDOS. WOULD NOT LET US WORK PASSED 9pm. THEY ARE OVER REACTING. WHAT EVER DEBRIS WE MADE WE MADE SURE WE CLEANED IT BEFORE THE NIGHT WAS OVER . THE ONE PARTICULAR THING THAT WAS STARTING TO REALLY BOTHER ME A LOT! IS THAT. THE YANGS DO NOT KNOW WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH THEY KEPT ON ASKING ME TO TAKE TRIPS TO THE MMMSTORE AND PICK UP MATERIALS FOR THEM. BECAUSE THEY DIDNT HAVE A TRUCK. I STARTED TELLING HER NO. BECAUSE IT WAS TAKING A LOT OF MY TIME. AWAY FROM THE SHOWER. I WAS SEEING RED FLAGS. I SAID TO MYSELF. OH LORD I PRAY THESE COUPLE. DONT TRY AND PULL A FAST ONE ON ME AT THE END. THAT IS THE REASON WHY I STARTED. ASKING. HER FOR MONEY. ITS HAPPENED. TO ME BEFORE! SHE LOVED OUR WORK WOULD”NT. STOP PRAISING IT. SUPER EXCITED. ON THE SECOND WEEK. I GOT TO THE JOB SITE AFTER 9. ENTRANCE WAS AT 9 am. I WAS RECEIVING PHONE CALLS DOING HER WORK. AND SHE STARTED DEDUCTING $100. Off my grand total WHEN EVER I WOULD ARRIVE. AFTER 9 am. THAT. FIRED ME UP!!.. I couldn’t believe it how after everything that I’ve done for her, she would still intent to take money from me. It was on Thursday. I had two more days to go Friday and Saturday Mrs. Yang decides to tell me at night time on Thursday. “!Oh, you can’t come tomorrow we are having a birthday party for my son.” I replied ok. Go have your son’s birthday party. And let me work. They denied letting me work. I was stressing. And felt she was doing it on purpose. To say I didn’t finish and she wouldn’t have to pay me the remaining. Balance that she owed me which was $2,000. On Friday I text her if I can have some money to get my wife’s eyebrows done. I was hoping since she’s a lady she would understand and send me a deposit since the job is almost completed. 3/4 she denied it. And went from 0 to 100 real quick I received a message from her at three in the morning stating that because I text her on her son’s birthday that she was going to cancel the whole project and that she was going to take my stuff outside in the morning and for me to pick it. Up. And if I didn’t it would. Get stolen. To. Arrive at 9am. I picked up my tools. And there was some tools missing that she did not give me back. She ended up owing me $2000. She ended up owing the Plumber 495 and she ended up owing the Painter $300. I TRIED TO MAKE THE PEACE AND OFFERED TO GO TO THE JOB THAT SHE DIDN’T HAVE TO PAY ME THE REMAINING BALANCE FROM LABOR FOR SHOWER FOR ME, BUT SHE WOULD HAVE TO PAY THE OTHER GUYS BECAUSE I KNEW THEM THE PAINTER AND THE PLUMBER SHE DENIED IT AND SAID NO RIGHT THERE IS WHEN I KNEW WHAT HER PLANS WERE. SHE REACHED OUT TO THUMBTACK AND WAS ASKING FOR THEM TO REIMBURSE HER THE WHOLE AMOUNT OF MONEY THAT SHE HAD SPENT FOR THE SBATHROOM UNBELIEVABLE HOW PEOPLE CAN BE! SHE TOOK ADVANTAGE OF ME. AND SHE’S A TYPE OF PERSON THAT IS ALWAYS FINDING A WAY TO GET EVRYHING FOR FREE. ALWAYS COMPLAINING. MR. Yang is worse. They tried to make sure that Thumbtack made me pay them back the money. It didn’t go their way this time. I was thankful to Thumbtack and to God for not letting them get over me people are always trying to get me I treat my customers with respect and I’m always there for them and always go above and beyond for them. THERES MY SIDE OF THE STORY. and she’s right. What a headache this was ! I should have avoided this project.
