Ike Construction Ent
Fraud, fake, ripoff

I hired Mr. Ikeri (Owner) of Ike Construction to remodel my house in April. I ended up firing him in July for not completing the project in 30 days as agreed, performing illegal and dangerous work, extortion and for causing further damage to my house.

Mr. Ikeri used unlicensed and undocumented day workers to perform the repairs unsupervised even after I asked him to use licensed sub-contractors. He did not finish any project he started. He did not pull permits or perform work up to code. He negliected the water leak on the second floor and that caused my ceiling to collapse. He installed wrong and defective windows and informed us after installation that our choice of windows were poor. He installed two different tiles in the master bathroom and blamed us for not making more frequent site visits.

He had the electrician call us to demand an increase in price of our electrical upgrade project by 50% after he had disconnected all the electrical to the house. I fired him that day.

I filed a claim with his bond company and in retialiation Mr. Ikeri hired a lawyer and filed a lien on the house for an outrageous amount. Mr. Ikeri is fraud and I doubt that the License number really belongs to him.

This is his information:
