Arteaga Construction

Tess M.

I contacted Angi's List in April regarding the need for deck repair. Francisco Arteaga from Arteaga Construction responded. On April 14 he arrived at the house to give me an estimate for the work. He surveyed the deck and explained in detail what needed to be done. I also mentioned that I wanted to extend a cement slab in the back yard, and asked if he was able to do that as well, and he confirmed that he could. On Saturday, April 15 I received (via email) a quote for the work that I requested. On April 17 I let him know that the price was agreeable (we did not haggle) and asked when he could do the projects. On April 24 he emailed ""I will look at my calendar and I will be emailing you shortly on a start date."" By May 9 he still hadn't responded with a start date so I emailed him again, and again received no response so on May 17 I telephoned him and asked if he had forgotten about me. During that call he told me that he could start my project ""next week"" which would have been the week of May 21 through May 27. When I still hadn't received a response from him by June 5, I emailed him again, ""Please let me know if you are unable or unwilling to do the work that we agreed to and I'll move on and make other arrangements."" As of this date, June 14, I still haven't heard from him. I've waited two months for Arteaga Construction to provide me with a firm start date and to complete the project that Francisco bid on. I find Francisco's lack of communication and follow through irresponsible and unprofessional. Lesson learned; I'll not be so patient with the next contractor.

I had an appointment with them today. They didn't show up (nor even call) -- hard to sugar-coat that. Promptness is perhaps the most important part of a job in my mind... If you can't trust a company to show up, you certainly can't trust them to do a good job.

I would love to give them a higher rating but unfortunately they did not complete the job they were compensated to complete. They were contracted and paid to repair our deck, construct a pergola, and paint are existing fence. The outstanding items that they did not complete was relocate the gutter down spout that was blocked by the pergola post, install the 2 brackets to brace the top of the pargola to the posts for safety reasons, and complete the finishing wood spacers on top of the pergola, between the beams. I am so very disappointed that I need to write this negative review, I have been trying multiple times to contact them to complete the work with no response. This lands them as unreliable and unresponsive. I'm hoping that I will be able to retract this review once they complete the work that they were paid to complete. Until then I must give them this negative review because the job was not completed per contract. This is a father and son business. Francisco Artega, please complete your work, or reimburse us for the unfinished amount. Do the right thing.
