| - We had some water damage from a roof leak in our home, and once the roof issue was resolved we needed the drywall repaired. I own several rental homes, and have other contractors I could have called, but because this was for our home which is on the higher end of the price range, I wanted to use a licensed contractor to perform the work... Enter Sundance Drywall and the mess that it became... The initial estimate process was fine, and the estimator seemed good enough. Their bid seemed reasonable, so without questioning it I approved it and they scheduled the work. Then it got wierd...
The worker showed up and was very old, at least 70 I would say. That would have been fine, but he just mumbled and my wife could not understand him at all. Worst of all, he literally smelled so bad of body odor that we literally could not go on that end of the house while he was there. He worked all day, and then mumbled something and left. He then showed up unannounced the next day and just walked in! no knock or anything, just walked in through the garage while my wife and kids were there alone. That day my wife just left, primarily due to the smell.
All of that would have been forgiven if the work was good, but unfortunately it was not. The texture they sprayed has now flaked off in several places just a few weeks later. He sprayed texture all over the recessed can lights, and I am in the process of replacing one. The rest of the workmanship was poor, and we are considering having it all redone rather than look at the garbage that they installed.
They were aggressive in collecting payment though, and when I asked to speak with someone about the way they left the house and the poor quality of the job, they basically said it was the best they could do, and then told me I had to pay the full price or they would file for a lien.
I am using Yelp more and more to vet contractors, as it seems there are more bad than good here in the Valley of the Sun, and I know I would have wanted to know the truth about these guys before choosing them to do the work. They were given every opportunity to make it right, but chose not to. Stay away from Sundance and choose another contractor for your job.
