| - DO NOT HIRE THIS COMPANY FOR PAVERS!!!!!!
I hired "Unto Him" to install some pavers.
Incompetent.
Unlicensed.
NOT Christian.
Matt does NOT self perform, he hires a subcontractor that can't comprehend setting grade or matching the adjacent existing paver configuration. By the way, you can see the 5 star review he made of himself, Matt Collins. I assure you, none of the jobs on those photos are his, they are not capable, Google the pics you will see the truth.... other people's projects....
He is NOT a licensed contractor with the registrar of contractors!!!! I asked him twice if he was licensed, bonded and insured, both times said yes. Now that he has quit the project because his unlicensed illegal alien paver installer can't figure out how to set grade, he is claiming that he meant that he has a business license and does not need a contractors license. I have bad news for him, he hired a specialty contractor, (that is not his employee), scheduled work and also bought the materials for the project.
Per the Arizona Registrar:
Who must be licensed as a contractor?
"Contractor" includes..... Hiring and firing of specialty contractors, scheduling of work on the project, and selection and purchasing of construction material......
That aside, the facing of the pavers at the road do not match the adjacent driveway. But most important, the pavers are not set to grade, which ruins the project. Also, the path kind of rolls up and down, many of the stones are loose. The high side of the project is nearly 2 inches higher than the adjacent landscaping that is supposed to be up hill from the pavers, this would cause my property to retain water.
When discussing the problems and after explaining basic grade and elevation to him, he raised his voice "DON'T BE A SMART ASS!!". Way out of line, especially for someone that is supposed to be a Christian. I can't imagine speaking to a customer like that, especially one that I just screwed up his yard....
His paver guy wasn't up to the challenge to remove the errantly installed pavers and reinstall them properly, so they quit. I am now bringing on the self performing, licensed, bonded and insured guy that I should have started with......
Contemplating contacting the Registrar of Contractors to inform them that "Unto Him" is performing licensed work. I am also contemplating a lawsuit for financial damages, the lawyer will get more than me, but who cares, better than the spit that I have now.....
He may be great a pulling weeds and mowing grass, I'll never know. I do know this, DO NOT HIRE HIM FOR PAVER WORK!!!!!!!
BUYER BEWARE, cheaper is not better.
Yelp first, then check with the Registrar of Contractors.
Had I done both, I would have avoided this whole scene.....
UPDATE: I had a professional out, turns out the pavers are the wrong size, wrong color (will never fade to match) and have a different finish at the top. Also they did not install sand after the pavers went in so when you walk on them they move around, it all must be removed and hauled off at $325, not the $150 as originally posted....... And now I pay for materials and install twice. :(
