We had a deeply disappointing experience with Preferred Home Improvement. While they were working on our neighbor's deck, we noticed debris, including wood pieces, dust, and other materials, left on our side, which was already concerning. However, what was more alarming was the additional damage caused to our deck. Our deck has been deemed unsafe by an engineer, and any further damage could result in catastrophic failure. Despite having photos of our deck with the damage, the owner of Preferred Home Improvement showed up with an attitude that was both condescending and dismissive.
When I initially called and spoke with Alex and Mike, I even joked that maybe they could give us a quote for our deck when we're ready to get it done, giving them the benefit of the doubt and hoping they would make things right. Instead of addressing our concerns professionally, the owner questioned why he was even there, given the existing condition of our deck. This is unacceptable behavior from any business, let alone one whose employees caused damage and left debris on our property. We were essentially accused of trying to get a "free job" out of the situation, which was not only insulting but also completely unfounded.
We are beyond disappointed with the lack of professionalism and the disrespect shown by the owner. We will be pursuing a formal complaint with the BBB and will be bringing this issue to the attention of our HOA. We expected better and would caution anyone considering this company for their home improvement needs...
