October 2024 paid $15,000 waited approximately 2 months for Pella screens. Electric quit working 1 month ago and still not working although they sent out workers 3 or 4 times. The electric line they used is buried in cement at entrance of garage. That electric line should not have been used. They only put in 2 patio doors when we paid for 3 and only 3 electric outlets put in when we paid for 4.Business Response

We received $12,000 in 2024 as payment for the materials and work
performed at Mrs. *******’ home. We did not receive $15,000. Since our company
does not manufacture Pella screens, we are at their mercy and have had no
control over the 2 months it took them to make the screens. The electric was
repaired and working prior to the complaint and is currently still working.
Mrs. ******* is concerned that it will quit working. I assured her that it
should not be a problem, and if it did stop working, we would certainly fix it.
I’m not sure what else we can do as far as there being two doors instead of
three. A desk belonging to Mrs. *******’ son was in the room we built for her,
and he requested that we not put in the third door during installation. He said
that he wanted a solid wall instead of the door. I offered to have our company
come back and install the door, but Mrs. ******* told me to leave it the way it
is. Regarding the electrical outlets, they do have 4 outlets (3 inside and 1
outside). I told Mrs. ******* if she has any other issues to give us a call and
we will address them. I’m sorry for any misunderstandings.***** *** ***

In June 2024, I contacted Dacraft to inquire about having a patio cover put over our deck for ~$9800. There were some delays due to scheduling issues, however they were resolved, and the materials were dropped off on July 23rd and the work was "finished" on July 24th.
Here is where the issues begin. I am required to obtain a permit through my city, and it was supposed to be handled per the contract, but when the inspector came out on August 19th , I was informed the cover was not installed according to the provided blueprints provided by Dacraft. The owner of Dacraft was informed immediately the same day and said it would be taken care of. On September 19th, yes still awaiting resolution, the installers were putting another patio cover up two houses down. I walked over and told them of the issue, and they said they were aware, but did not have the wood to complete the job. The installers informed me that they would return with the wood to complete the job, but they did not return to my house to complete the installation upon completion of the other house. I have been trying to have this issue resolved and just want a solid answer on when it will be remediated, but I can’t get a straight answer as of October 17th.Business Response

On 7-12-2022, DACRAFT installed a patio cover on the front of my mobile home at; *** ****** ******** ********* **** *****. About a week later, it rained. Leaks are coming from where the patio cover is
connected/bolted, to the mobile home. I contacted ***** *** **., on his mobile phone (************). We
talked about the above situation/issue, that I was having. ***** Sr. told me that when a job, they were going
to do in the area was to be done, then they would stop by, and take care of my concerns on the work that was
done by *******. I said; ok. Time passed, nothing happened. On 10-10-2022, I had another conservation
with ***** Sr. about the same issue, leaks. ***** Sr. told me that when, one of two people he named was in Columbus, that person will take care of what we talked about (leaks). I said; ok. It has been two weeks since
we talked. Still waiting. Winter is coming. Only so many nice days left in the year. ...At the time of the first
conservation with ***** Sr., they were extremely busy. So, I guess I got lost in the mix. Why can't DAYCRAFT
just tell give me date and time, that they will finish the job? I am talking about 24 feet that needs to be
sealed/caulked. A DACRAFT installer can do that in a half hour, including putting the ladder up, and taking
it down. ***** Sr., is a nice person to talk to. DACRAFT is 24 feet from the finish line, and a happy customer.Business Response

The patio cover was serviced on 10/24/22 and adjustments were made that should fix the problem. We had previously mentioned to the customer that we would take a look as soon as we had a qualified installer in the area. We are sorry for the delay, and we do not anticipate any issues moving forward, provided general homeowner maintenance (keeping gutters and top free of debris, etc.) is performed regularly.Customer Answer

I cleared my gutter of debris. Then had to wait for rain, to see how both I and Dacraft did to stop the leaks. Today, Sunday (10/30/2022) rain started in
the evening. ...Around about 10PM I checked the patio cover. Good news, went from 3 leaks, down to 2. The leak by the front door has moved a little
closer to the door. Both leaks are down to a trickle. Making progress. Might I suggest, a installer come out when it is raining, When Daycraft has time?
This way they can take a video, and consult with me on what to do next. I do not like to complain, however, we are so close to taking care of this.
Please tell me what you (Daycraft) think about my suggestion. Thanksgiving is coming up, I hope to give thanks for no more leaks.

Upon further inspection, it has been determined that our customer's roof is the source of the leaks, not the new patio cover. He is now in the process of purchasing a new mobile home roof-over system from us, so we consider this complaint resolved. Thank you.Customer Answer

Always a pleasure talking to *****, and the Daycraft family. Looking forward to doing business Daycraft for years to come. I apologize for anymiss understandings on my part. Looking forward to many years under my new roof. *****, is the kind of person you would like as a neighbor.
Thank you for being patient with me, during this process. Happy Holidays. And ...As Spock would say, "Live long and prosper".

Had business install awning (roof) over the deck. I called in 2018 about a leak. I was told someone would be out to take care of it. Saw no one but chalked it up to covid. I called again in Aug. of this year only to be told my work order had been pulled and put away. The person said they didn't know why that had happened. They were going to send an e-mail to the president of the company, and that he would call me. Contacted the business two more times. Told the same thing. Have never received a call from anyone to take care of my problem.Business Response

Business called BBB with there response.
There is only a one year guarantee on the patio covers which we called and told the consumer. We are actually going to be in her area tomorrow and will be resealing the cover for her which she is aware of as well.
