We had the unfortunate and unpleasant experience that a home owner can have hiring a contractor that is not honest and does not perform up to standard. This has been a total nightmare dealing with someone that felt the need to lie about anything and everything which started from day one on the job.


We live in Amador County and were doing a kitchen remodel when we found dry rot on the outside of our kitchen window as we were installing a new one. We thought we were doing all the right things by contacting many licensed contractors to get to know them and to get the best deal. You will find our story here along with the Contractor from Amador County that saved our home and our lives, Betlan Construction.


The Shoddy Contractor from Amador County Abandoned The Job

To my surprise The Shoddy Contractor from Amador County shows up before 8:00 a/m!  He has never showed up this early in the morning to start work on our home.  I go outside as I do not see his truck blocking my driveway like he used to do each day he was here not letting people come up on our property and be able to turn around.  He would tell them that they needed to back down.  OMG!  We live on a dirt windy road about 1/4 of a mile from the highway.  Just not very professional at all!

Anyway, I see that him and his girlfriend have their little trailer full of all their tools and supplies loaded up and ready to leave our property.  I couldn't have asked for a better out come!  This means that they are leaving our property.

I ask, "Are you leaving"?  No answer!  So I ask again!  He says YES!  OK now I'm doing the Happy Dance inside my heart thinking better days ahead for us now.  Well he starts getting hostile and moves very angrily and fast towards his pickup which scared me.  All of a sudden his girlfriend runs to him grabbing both of his arms so that she can restrain him and yells his name, and "DONT".  I'm really freighted by what I'm seeing as I see her hands holding on to his arms to the point where they are sinking into him to restrain him and make hime stop.
