Where do I start? First off, I gave them every opportunity to address my complaints....I received every excuse in the world. Nobody even came and looked at my issues. First, lets start at the beginning. Upon signing the contract, it was understood there was to be a deposit (which I made at contract signing), and three more payments. Second payment, after concrete was poured and finished....Third payment, after building materials were delivered and unloaded. Fourth and final payment after building was completed. Fast forward to the day of grading and concrete pouring....they asked for the money before the first concrete truck showed up. I paid after concrete was finished. Then, the day the materials were to be delivered, they wanted a check before the materials showed up. Again, I explained that was not how the contract was specified. After materials came, and were unloaded, I paid them. Then the day the building was to be completed, the wanted the final check...while the workers were still putting it together. AGAIN, I explained that was not how the contract specified. I paid after completion. Now, on to the more serious issues. First, i wanted an 8" thick concrete pad. I told them several times, I DID NOT want the pad poured on top of the ground. I wanted them to dig out, so there was 6" in ground, 2" above ground. They graded about 30-45 minutes and started laying the forms. I told the foreman, it was not deep enough. They continued on. I asked several more times...they kept building forms, ignoring me. I asked for wire mesh, to strengthen the pad, they laid the steel mesh on the ground, dit not place it off the ground. Finally the trucks showed up, started pouring around noon. Keep in mind this was a 40X50 pad, and i wanted it shop floor smooth. At 3am, they were still smoothing the surface. I had a 8" pad, almost completely above ground. They came the next day, to saw expansion joints. 3 days later, a crack started from one side, and has slowly continued across the entire shop. Now, on to the roll doors. I have four 12X14 roll doors. Two are bolted to the top, two are held with sheet metal screws. Really? Seriously? When it rains, even slightly, water runs in my shop through every door. Water leaks in around and under all doors. Now the concrete it pitted and flaking everywhere. Its awful how bad it looks. I have inquired several times about these issues, only to be ignored. I was told, that's how it is.....

Just completed my building a few minutes ago. BEWARE! I gave them a chance even after seeing bad reviews and posts from past customers. Shame on me. Maybe I can help others from making the same mistake. I am writing while all is fresh in my head. The actual crews that came out were great. Office personal is not so much. Raul was my salesman who quoted me on my building. We exchanged several emails and quotes. All of which had colored screws included. Once the crew was assembling the building I noticed that no colored screws were around. I called Ariana who coordinated the building crew. After reviewing my contract this line item was left out on the final that was sent to me to sign. Several things were different on the final but I missed this one line. It was an item that had no additional cost at the time. I admitted I missed it, but explained that I didn't think I should have had to comb through for things to be left out while dealing with a professional company. Ariana admitted she was part to blame and apologized. I explained that there was a store I could run to get some and she assured me she would talk to Raul and it would be made right. I spent $193 on colored screws and figured it would be deducted from the labor cost. Shame on me! I called her 3 times afterwards with no answer. Finally I was able to speak to her as the job finished about an hour ago. Her answer was that there was nothing she could do about the money and that I still owed her the total for labor referring to the contract. Its not about the money its the principal of it and just good business. L &G has neither. I already know the response will be "Sir you signed the contract". That is right. They only refer to the contract when it benefits them. They wanted payment to deviate from what the contract stated. They were quick to threaten to hold off service until I complied. When I quoted the contract to them concerning this it was dismissed quickly! I was told, "We will just have to reschedule you for a later date". Buyer beware, if they will screw me out of $193 bucks what will they screw you out of. The contract you will sign will only matter when it is in their favor. Stay away from them nothing has changed from past reviews. Also check the Better Business Bureau. This was not a misunderstanding as Ariana told me she was part to blame and that it would be made right. This was a LIE by an L & G employee to its customer.

This is the worst experience I have had working with a contractor/company. The beginning stages were fairly easy and I felt confident about moving forward. When I showed up to inspect the grading work I immediately knew this was not going to work. The ground where the building was supposed to be placed had a slight slope but I had ten loads of material brought in to help in leveling the area. the grading contractor had taken it upon themselves to dig an average size in-ground swimming pool to access additional dirt to build the pad. This was never agreed to. The building plan had two over hangs front and back to be used as porches. Neither of these would be possible due to the foundation prep. I would also not be able to use the garage doors on the front and back due to the height of the foundation pad. I asked the company to stop working and I contacted the company directly. The owner and another individual came to the property and told me that this foundation was elevated to eliminate water from coming down the grade. They even used a grading tool incorrectly to justify their mistake. I then asked why I did not see any compaction equipment on site when the pad was being built. The pad at its highest point was four feet above original grade. They stated that compaction wasn't needed. I knew at this point that this company is not trustworthy. The company would not return almost $10, 000 in deposit money because I signed the agreement. I had many contractors at the site and all agreed the work was no where near code or professional standards. This is the same company as Carolina Carport and Custom Concrete. I'll never see my 10k, but at least I do not have to deal with the company again.
