Report
It's been three weeks since I've given one star (would have given minus but wouldn't let me) and they have still not finished the garage project (which originally quoted 3 weeks total at beginning of Summer, and now going into Fal). Joe has become aggressive over emails to me and my husband. The service door doesn't work and hits the garage door so doesn't have full use. The fence that was put back was a hack job. When we inquire Joe S has aggressive and blaming-someone-else with no solutions in sight responses. I can't wait to be finished with this project so we never have to deal with Joe again
