TAD Construction

TAD construction is simply a criminal! He knows exactly what he is doing when he is asking for more and more money upfront and not following the work schedule, but only the payment schedule. The minute he gets most of your money he will be gone!!! Not sure how he still has a license after so many complaints with the Contractors State License Board?

The other reviewers are EXACTLY correct on TAD construction! DO NOT USE THEM ON YOUR HOUSE!!! You WILL be left with un-​finished work, and NO money!

TAD Construction started work on my house in January 2013. We made a contract of how payments were to be made depending on when work on the house was completed. However, once work began, it never followed the timeline discussed originally and so I was asked to make more payments than work performed. For example, originally my master bedroom and master bathroom were to be renovated and finished before work on the kitchen started, but the contractor said it would be easier to start the kitchen before the other work was completed (I was told it would be easier to do the dry wall for all 3 rooms at the same time), forcing me to make more payments without any work ever being completed on the previous two rooms. In addition, TAD Construction did (and probably still does) NOT carry worker’s compensation insurance yet many hispanic day laborers were brought in to work, often being left alone without supervision while the contractor disappeared for 2 or more hours during the day. A couple told me they had never worked with the company before, yet they were left alone in my home. Originally I was supposed to renovate 4 rooms: the mater bedroom, master bathroom, kitchen and spare bathroom. After the estimated due date was a week away, TAD Construction had only started 3 of the 4 rooms (the spare bathroom was never started) and NONE of the rooms were near completion. The master bedroom did not have closet doors, baseboards, or flooring. The master bathroom did not have flooring, the vanity, toilet, and shower door that I supposedly paid for. I actually had to reorder and pay for all those AGAIN when I had another contractor finish the job. Plus, TAD Construction never tar mopped the shower, which leaked into the walls, so it had to be ripped up and redone by the new contractor. Luckily the Contractor’s State Licensing Board made TAD Construction pay me back for that! As for the kitchen, it was not even ready for me to put in the stove, oven, and refrigerator that were sitting in my garage. It was awful! When the contractor asked for another payment one week before the due date, I asked for receipts and an itemization of where the money I had already paid went (as I had already paid more than half). I told the contractor to show me the purchase orders of the granite, vanity, toilet, shower door, etc. He refused to answer my requests for receipts or an itemization and kept telling me he couldn’t work until I paid another $ 8,000. Because I was not shown where my money went, I fired TAD Construction. The hispanic worker that had been working the past week in my home said the company had refused to pay him telling him that I had not paid them anything yet, so they didn’t have the money. They also refused to put him on their payroll even after he requested it (probably because of the lack of worker’s compensation insurance). This November we finally went to arbitration per the paperwork when I hired the company end of December 2012. I was awarded a settlement which the company was even late paying! It finally ended this December 2013. In addition, I had filed a complaint with the BBB in April 2013 when I fired the company and the BBB closed the case with this company saying it was «unresolved» and that the «company failed to resolve the complaint issues through the BBB voluntary and self-​regulatory process». PLEASE do yourself a favor, do NOT hire TAD Construction. The owner is very suave, smooth talking, and even flirty with women. It is all an act. The company will do what they want to do to your home even if you request different. The contractor thinks they know better what it is the customer wants and will tell you why it should be done a certain way or why their way is better. The happiest day was the day after I fired TAD Construction and I knew I would not have to deal with this company again (except in arbitration). Shop elsewhere or beware! I would give this company ZERO stars if I could, but the least it will take is one… so TAD Construction should feel honored to get the one star!
