We contracted with Distinct Design, Ed Arroyo to build a sunroom that cost 40,400. It was a nightmare from the beginning. We signed the contract in May & the plans were done 2 weeks later & were never shown to us. The sunroom was supposed to be done in the max. Time of 16 weeks. It was not even started then. At that point he had how much money. Ed also ordered solid kick panels instead of glass ones & tried to say that is what we ordered. The one wall had to be redone 3 times & the other walls had to be done more than once also.
When all of these problems started we started to some investigating. Also, he hired people off the street that would not show up & when they did were either high or hungover. Ed never even checked if his people were here. Now, what we founf out was, Ed himself tried to pass the test for General Contractor license & failed multiple times. He uses his brothers, Fabians License no & a electrical contractor named Bill Brydges To pull the permit. Neither Fabian or Bill were ever at our home. Ed also had the room engineered wrong with the intent of being cheap. He brought a pitched roof under a flat roof & we have extreme amounts of water running into our house.
We were lucky in one aspect that we used a credit card & got reimbursed, but now Ed is sueing us. He is saying that Bill brydges did the electric which he did not, Ed did & also, is not saying who the people were that he had build this since they were not on his payroll & also were not licensed. We also have a electrical fire hazard. He buried regular household wiring in the base sill that lays in water.
To make it worse the coorporate office is just as bad & will not stand by this in anyway. We called fourseasons coorporate in Orlando & they came to our home. His name was Scott Weiner & Gus Concalves. They both stated that this room is a mess & should be torn done. They told us they would give us a estimate to repair & when it came time to give it to us they told us we had to sign a contract with them that if they help us win that they get the job. I told them I could not do that at this time due to the fact even if we win we will be out around 40,000 in lawyers fees & that still does not mean that Ed or his Brother Fabian will not claim bankrupt & we will still be screwed, so they would not help us either.
Four Seasons coorporate told us that as long as they make money off the franchaises that is all that matters. If they really cared about their company & their reputation they would pull this 2 from their company.
So to sum it up, if anyone is considering these 2 to do busness with contact us & you can come see our mess of a "sunroom".
