I decided to write a blog and ask all of my fellow Rainers a question that has had me wondering for a while. You see, one of the rental homes that we manage had a water leak in the middle of the night about six weeks ago. We contracted an emergency water restoration company to come out and fix the problem and dry out the carpets. They originally quoted a cost of about $700-$800 to complete the task.
The weeks began to roll by, and the work was far from completed. I tried calling the company several times to find out what was taking so long and to get an updated estimate. After being jerked around for a while, I dropped by their office to complain and get some answers. They made more promises and assured me that the work would be done by _______ date.
On that date, their guy showed up four hours late for the rebuild and did some of the worst work that I have ever seen. Rather than staying to finish the job as promised, their guy took off after about an hour of his crappy work to "get to another appointment."
As you can see from the photos, the base board install done was one of the most ridiculous attempts at a rebuild that you've ever seen.
To sum it all up, they finally completed the job after almost seven weeks and sent us the bill for $5,400.......up from $700-$800 I would say.
And so my question to all of those who read this blog is this:Is their any kind of law or other obstacle that would keep me from freely eviscerating this company through negative exposure on my blog? Is there anything that would hinder me from naming this company?
