Pathetic Service

The builder's name is Elvis Makhuvha, and the name of his company is Elvis Pools and Fish Ponds.<br> <br> I have paid Elvis R33 000 out of the R36 000 he had quoted me.<br> <br> The work supposed to have been completed over a month ago. The problem was that Elvis was getting guys off the street to come and do the work and he was not there to supervise. Due to this, the building work was carried out incorrectly. This resulted in re-doing the work a couple of times. <br> <br> Elvis had made it clear to me that he had under-quoted and required some additional cash to complete the work. I was understanding enough to give him what he had asked for in good faith. He has now let me down, taken my money and refuses to communicate with me. I have tried multiple times by call, sms, email and even his wife in order to get through to him to resolve this matter.<br> <br> He has only completed about 65% of the works and I have paid him about 95% of the quotation (my mistake). Elvis claims to have 10 years of experience behind him yet he takes your money and does not return.<br> <br> He was referred to me by someone reputable but I did not expect such pathetic service.

Reviewer Update
After 5 years, Elvis has only paid back less than 30% of his debt and he continues to be arrogant. In my opinion, do not give your business to this company as they take your money without keeping up to their promise. They will also perform inferior work and will not correct the situation should defects crop up within their "guarantee" period. In conclusion, I advise against doing business with this company as they are not reputable and will not provide you with a quality product or service.
