> DO NOT HIRE!!
>
> Long story short: after 18 months, Columbus Building Inspections and Code Enforcement fining them, being outright lied to about an approved permit so they could take advantage of us, and being fed up with the company, we won a small claims lawsuit in the Muscogee County Municipal Courts to get our money back and our contract terminated. Shane Wilson is dodging the court order to pay us and have yet to actually get the money that is legally owed to us.
>
> In December 2020 we signed a contract with the owner Shane Wilson and put a deposit down to have a second story attached deck built. A key point in the contract included being provided a permit for the deck. After poor communication and poor-quality craftsmanship about 3 months later the deck was complete, we were explicitly told the deck was permitted and they requested final payment two separate times. Their “proof of permit” is seen attached in the pictures. It has white out and penned in writing. This is what we find most egregious. They absolutely tried to fool us and take advantage of our ignorance by trying to get us to make the final payment without doing the right thing and getting a permit.  By sheer luck an employee of the Columbus Building Inspectors and Code Enforcement drove by and saw the new construction, looked to see if it was permitted, and when they discovered that a permit hadn’t even been applied for and they left a note on our door.  The permit should have been applied for before construction even began on the deck.  We luckily had not made final payment and after confronting Shane about this he said “I was not aware of that” and that he would still get the permit. The Columbus Code enforcers fined him for “No Building Permit,” “No Business License,” and “Required Inspections Violation”. Shane plead guilty to all three, however they dismissed the last charge since the plan was that he would fix the issue. 6 months after the fines, we still had zero resolution, communication from Shane, or progress to getting a permitted deck so we filed a small claims lawsuit against him. The Judge agreed with our case and awarded us the money we asked for which was the entire deposit back, the fee it’ll cost to get the entire deck torn down, and court fees. As of January 2023, Shane Wilson has continued to dodge the court order to pay us for 6 months and have yet to actually get the money that is legally owed to us.  In addition to the permit issue, we are equally as upset with the quality that you can see in the pictures. We had the deck torn down and rebuilt by someone else due to the City Inspector finding points that would not pass inspection. There was almost no communication and zero effort to resolve our issue. If they cared there would have been action and constant communication, which we received none of. We have left this review on all platforms we can think of and absolutely do not recommend any consideration to use this company.

**Comment from Weather Shielders:**

> You got a well built deck which I'm going to be adding to the project photos soon, project titled Dutch Deck. see for yourself. I'll also include the price they DIDN'T PAY although agreed to. Also didn't pay me for the labor, and sued me for the material money back, and won, because I wasn't served for the court date. Crazy because originally I appeared for court but it was postponed because they had not served me, then later had held court when I wasn't present, won the settlement, and didn't find out the a month later, too late to appeal, when I first was notified by fie fay, order to pay the judgement.
> I would definitely won the appeal and counter suit if had a different judge because of the grounds and statement for the claim was false in every sentence. They've since sold the house, and even had the nerve to featured photos of the deck on the Realtor website. They sued for the material money and reimbursement for payment to another contractor to demo the deck. However, if they were going to even consider having removed why would they seal and stain the deck? Because they never intended on removing the deck and just wanted to get out of paying for the labor and get there money back for the entire project. I reached out to resolve this matter several times in several ways they never wanted reach any settlement except get out of paying 1 cent for the work and materials provided.
