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.


We Hear From Another Home Owner that was Swindled By This Contractor


Today we hear from a homeowner in San Jose who had an extremely bad experience with the same Shoddy Contractor that we had dealings with. 

This gal had left a bad review on City Search in Santa Cruz area.

This is what this homeowner had posted about this contractor:

I had tile work done in my bathrooms and laundry room and the tiles were not leveled at all. I think they just placed the tiles down without bothering to make sure they lay flat. When I mentioned that the tiles were flat, the contractor says that I must have stepped on them (even the ones near the corners of the room?) Additionally, I had SS to put in skylights, which the contractor assured me that she had done before, the skylights leaked in the first rain. When I hired a roofer to patch around the skylight, I was told that SS had installed it incorrectly and cheaply. What a disaster! By the way, never trust her to go on a hourly basis. She quotes a competitive price but end up doubling the cost. Another thing is that she will create work where not needed. Avoid this company or you will end up paying someone else to fix up their mess.
