California Mobile Home Services Reviews

  • Jan 1, 2016

Initially i received a call from a woman telling me their company was honoring the warranty installation of the piers under my mobile home since they bought out the former company that did the work. I thought that was great and asked when they could schedule an inspection. She said the rep was in the area and could come over within a couple of hours! i thought that was strange since most people have their day planned, but i happened to have the time that day so i said it was ok. The slick polished young man who showed up handed me a business card with his name "written" on the bottom. A second "clue" that started my suspicions. He proceeded to cover up with a protective jumpsuit and went under the house. I did feel bad for him since there are spiders, spider webs, and possibly other critters under there too, which is why i would not want to do it myself. Plus i am a senior citizen, and it would be difficult for me to get in and out, much less crawl around under there.

When he emerged, he had a disgusted look on his face and sadly informed me that there was a "lake" under my house and showed me a photo of raw sewage and a broken large pipe which he explained was my sewer line. Not only were they going to need to pump out the lake and raw sewage, repair the pipe, but also replace my metal piers since they were most likely rusted! i don't know about someone else, but it frightened me to the extent that i was too scared to go under the house to see this disaster. So he then proceeded to write out a contract, and give me a huge discount! what he said would normally cost me $10k, he would start the work for $3k with a total of $4,500.00. At this point it didn't make sense to me that he would replace rusted piers, if the "lake" and sewage had just been pumped out Clue#3). He ageed and said that he would come back a few weeks later, but he would give me a $500 discount although i would need to pay $3k when his crew showed up the next day. His "crew" could do this huge job immediately like that? I was starting to catch on, but still in shock at peril of my finances and my house in such disrepair. I was unable to allow his crew back the next day, but he said it was urgent i get this situation resolved asap so i signed the contract and agreed to have his crew come back in 2 days.

The next day i was so worried and kept visualizing the photo on that "rep" harry's phone. Then it occurred to me that the raw sewage should be swirling around with toilet paper, and not look like a dog had just taken a dump! plus i didn't smell anything bad, but harry insisted it was disgusting, and was surprised that i didn't smell the odor. Ok, so i decided that photo of poop wasn't my poop, and i didn't smell any foul odor. The "clue's" are starting to pile up like harry's poop photo, but i still didn't want to go under the house.

When the "crew" arrived i noticed there wasn't much equipment in their beat up unmarked pick up truck. They claimed that they needed to see the project before they would go buy supplies at the local home depot! as i watched the 2 guys walk toward the back of the house. I saw a neck tattoo on one and a long braid under a knit hat on the other. I try not to judge people, but the way they looked, talked and responded to my questions, made me wonder how long had it been since they had been released from prison! and when i asked where there protective clothing and masks were, one of them put on a white paper dust mask. I went in the house to ttry to reach harry by phone to tell him to tell those guys to leave. Within minutes they were pounding on my door with fists full of wet sand saying it was raw sewage with worms crawling in it. I yelled at them to leave, which they did, but they kept calling afterwards, and then harry kept calling saying that they all had families to support and i should pay them! hey this may sound like a nightmare, but it was really happening! then harry came to my house pounding on my door, but i had already got in my car and told him to leave or i would call the police and followed him through the gated complex until he did leave.

I wanted to warn other unsuspecting senior citizens about their scam. But the ca contractors board division of consumer complaints wouldn't take a report.

I have also contacted other mobile home parks warning them about this company, and some already are aware of their practices, but our government does nothing to protect consumers and this company knows that! what do we pay taxes for if our government doesn't function for it's purpose? America transparent - check it out!
