Janks Construction, Inc. Janks Construction - Multiple Code Violations, Breach of Contract and More. San Diego California

My name is Steve Janks president of Janks Construction inc. I have been in construction for 20 years and have never had a situation such as this
We have done over a 100 remodels in San Diego with no complaints
PLEASE CALL ME OR MY OFFICE FOR REFERENCES 858 693 9700 OR MY CELL 619 548 2675

At the end of the job Mark Zeitlin refused to pay the total amount owning after completing his punch list.
WE WERE AWARDED THE FULL AMOUNT OWING BY THE ARBITRATOR
Unfortunately, we never had the opportunity to repair any problem in the home, as our relationship had deteriorated
I have never turned my back, on a client, or job, no matter what the issue or the cost
The mistake that I made, was to work with out permits and plans, that are very specific to the project.
The permits protect the CONTRACTOR as well as the home owner through inspections.
WE PRIDE OURSELVES IN OUR WORK
PLEASE CALL ME FOR A FURTHER EXPLANATION
THANK YOU FOR READING OUR SIDE

So the latest on our saga with Janks Construction is that Steve Janks charged us sales tax on materials that sales tax had already been paid on by his vendors. I wonder if he thinks he's still in South Africa. Here in California there is no value added tax. Sales tax is paid only once.

Mr. Janks has refused to refund the "sale tax" money he took from us and put in his pocket.

More to come as events develop...

Though Steve Janks and I have had our differences, I am happy to communicate that all issues have been satisfactorily resolved.   While our remodeling project did not work out as we had hoped, Janks Construction has undoubtedly done a lot of good work on many homes in the San Diego area.  He can provide a list of very positive references, which I would encourage any interested party to contact. 

 

With reference to the suggestion I made about Janks over charging us the sales tax, and keeping the difference,  Mr. Janks provided me with the EDD documentation proving that all sales tax was paid contradicting other information at my disposal.

 

I apologize to Steve Janks for any harm this may have caused.  I accordingly correct these inaccurate comments. 

 

Based on information recently made available, Mr. Janks did not over charge my wife or myself for any products purchased from Janks Construction.  I apologize for suggesting that Steve Janks conducted his business in a dishonest manner.  We did not understand his billing system, which led to confusion.

 

I am pleased that we can now put all this behind us and move on.

 

I wish Steve the best in all his future endeavors.

 

Regards 

Mark Zeitlin
