I was referred to Ala by my friend and he was highly recommended. Unfortunately, we have had a difficult relationship right from negotiation of contract. After the initial meeting with him in August’2018 when we agreed on scope of work and labor fees, he kept changing his stance and the contract was signed only in November’2018 with contract spelling out clear terms. The Deck and Porch should not have taken much time to complete, but Ala sub contracted to another party who have not been paid their dues by Ala. The only time Ala showed up was to collect or request payments (sometimes even if payment was not due as per contract). Between the poor advice on the type and quantity of materials to be procured, to delays in completing project, my cup of woes was full. It has been 6 months since we signed the contract and the project has not been completed as yet. I eventually ended up sending him couple of warning emails to complete the contract and yet he did not revert. I ended up getting the work done through other contractors even though it cost me more. If there is an opportunity to assign negative stars, I would have assigned it to him. I strongly recommend against assigning any work to him. I agree with the previous review that he is Untrustworthy.
