    I signed 3 contracts for 3 separate repair jobs on my home in 2021. All within the first few weeks of 2021. 1. First job was to repair a ceiling leak in the living room. 2. Second job was to repair a fire damaged wall on my back patio. 3. Third job was to repair a leak in the roof. My home insurance (*******) Would cover the first 2 jobs. The 3rd was to be out of pocket. I paid a deductible of $1000 for each of the other 2 jobs for a total of $2000 to DRI in April of 2021. They sent me a receipt which I still have, and cashed my check. They came in Aug of 2021 to fix the roof (3rd job on the list above). That was to cost $806.13 out of pocket. I was happy with this job. For the other 2 jobs they have never come to do or schedule any work. They don’t answer my emails or calls. The lady who answers the phone never has anything helpful to say and only says she will pass on my message. I wrote a letter to request a cancellation of the contracts. This was emailed to them around Jan 20 2023. I called to confirm they got the email and they said yes they would complete my request in a few days. The email I sent included my receipt for the $2k I paid and copies of the contracts. I even did the math for them and requested they take the $806.13 I owed and repay me the remaining $1193.87. Their contracts state that work should begin roughly 2 weeks after signing of the contracts. It has now been 2 yrs. Their contracts also say that refunds should be issued 48 hrs after receipt of this request. It has now been 2 months. I am beyond frustrated and don’t know how to hold them responsible. Can you please help me get my refund?

    Our house was burned down on August 2021. This company gives a bad reputation for all contractors. Please stay away from this company and do your own research. Jay, the general contractor for DRI was assigned to us by our insurance and it's been almost two years that he has not complete rebuilding our house. He is shady by not even telling us that his license was revoked in 2022 of June and still plan to rebuild our house without acquiring a permit. We on the other hand is new to this process and believe his words that he'll take care of us when we later found out about the shady things he did after a year and half later. What waste of time! He tricked us to signing papers for the truss when he was supposed to be the one responsible for it. And now it's just sitting in our front yard and not even knowing if there's a lien to our house since we signed the paper without knowing. It seems like it's a tactic he used before and he will continue to use it again. We just found out through the city that we were not assign to a contractor under our house this whole time. Unbelievable! The only good thing is that we did not pay him. Thank Lord. Please stay away from DRI.
