  August 4, 2023 A&S Aluminum Structures DBA also known as ***** ***** *** installed a screen room on my patio. It was suppose to be 16 x 12. They installed it as 15 x 12. It is 1 foot short. I spoke with Joel several times with the company and have text message proof that he admits it was 1 foot too short and that the company will come out and fix it. I have called several times, sent text messages, and received no response. I just would like my structure installed to the proper 16 feet I paid for.

  I signed a contract with Aluminum Structures on Aug and paid $2000 as advance.
  The team is not responding to my inquiries properly and i have already made 100+ calls and emails. The approvals are not done or the work is started and it is almost a year now.
  So i would like to get the full refund of my advance payment and cancel the contract.

  Effectively the customer had signed a contract. Where he was responsible for the concrete part, we have done engineering documents paid fees at the permit department twice, unfortunately the customer hired anon lice se contractor to pour his concrete, and the county is requesting a permit and engineering for the concrete that was done unauthorized. We had exhausted all the resources to the point of getting engineers Involve In the case, we has used his downpayment of $2000 and on top of that we have spent an excess of $550. It states clearly in our contract the down payment will.be used to permitting process and if the cost is minor of the deposit it will be refunded in this case there is no balance.on his favor, perhaps there is an bill.

  We have explained the situation to the customer in many different ways, he have asked the customer to reach as well the county to find out on his own as well of the problem he has, due to doing g work without a permit. 

  Unfortunately there is nothing else we can do at this point. It's all in his hands to get an engineer to permit the concrete. That way the permit could continue its normal process.

  I am rejecting this response because: The Business was never responding to my emails or calls and I'm totally unaware of what is happening with the permit process. 

  No updates were given on the approval issues in the first 6 months. I directly called the Permit department to check the status of my application and they confirmed that the Business submitted the application with incorrect details. Post that I reached out to the Business and apprised about my conversation with County Permit department. 

  I decided to cancel the contract and obtain refund only after I understand that they haven't done the application correctly and have no confidence in the work. My main concern is the delay in the approval process which is solely due to the Business (not the county) and their style of working. Few of my friends from Odessa have the same complaint with this Business, so I decided to withdraw the contract. I'm not responsible for their mess and require full refund of my deposit or will plan to sue the Business.

  Attached the evidences for your review. I couldn't upload all the files due to file count limitations.
  

  
  
  Sincerely,
