I am not one to post about things like this but I had enough. I made the mistake of hiring Ballard's Construction in Long Beach. Keith the owner is nice but VERY unprofessional! He promised to build our deck in a week when hired in August and he took months to do it. He had many excuses when he wouldn't show up but we gave him the benefit of the doubt. The only things we asked was to have it done by the holidays since it was taking so long, that it's structurally safe, and done right. We haven't been able to enjoy our backyard since August😡 He refused to come back and finish it because according to him his job was completed in October. The floor is starting to flex and the deck is falling apart. 2 days after installing the rail, it broke. If it was done properly, this should not be happening! I will let the recent photos speak for themselves. These are just some of the issues. This is not right! My husband asked for his builder's license and he never gave it to him. We looked him up on CSLB and he doesn't show up. Buyer beware!
