Fencing
I hired Dan to do a fencing job for me which he completed and did a good job. So I asked him to lay my hardwood decking. He completed this job late into the evening and I foolishly paid him without close inspection. I subsequetly found many mistakes, the boards were loose and not attached to the base. Boards were cut short around the edges leaving gaps. I paid alot of money for this decking and am will now need to buy at least 2 more lengths and pay someone else to correct Dan's mistakes. I spoke to Dan subsequently and he agreed to return this week to make good these issues, I am really disappointed that he is now not returning my text messages or answering my calls. His quote may beat others but as they say you get what you pay for !
Answer from tradesperson:
this woman wanted me to fit decking with deck boards being bail wood they had no profile what so ever was very dangerous in every way they were smooth both sides if i had my way i would have advised her not to buy them but trish being trish she knew better the wood was so dense it was beleif so as for the suposed deck boards when they dried out it would do nothing but shrink very much so dont blame me trish im good at my job i do the best i can do for people if its not good enough then im sorry in this factor given the correct materials i would be able to do the correct job its silly little people like trish that give good traders a bad name
