Jeffrey Marks, owner of Himco Security Products aka Himco National advertises every week in the L.A. Times that his business. We're the Professionals in reality, the pompous short little jerk with an overinflated ego has caused me so much angst and pain from his malicious lawsuit for his employee's negligence that I reported a year ago.

After sending two incompetent installers to my property without a supervisor, who stated on my message tape that he would have been there had he known that my fence installation had been scheduled, I had to tell them to leave and not come back without supervision. The half installed fence was bent, ragged wrought edges, holes left open and one of my dogs tripped in the hole head first and died.

When I told Marks to give me ten days and we'll discuss a solution, I wanted the half installed fence removed and my $4000 deposit back (his half wit supervisor, according to the rules and regulations of the California State Board of Licensing, 10 percent or $1,000 whichever is less is ALL that is supposed to be charged up
front for a job. Marks slapped a lien on my property and sued me for breach of contract which I never breached. He told me if he sues me, it will cost me a lot of money.

I counter sued for negligence and it certainly did cost me a lot, so much that I had struggle to keep my house out of foreclosure. He is a unethical, greedy short, whiny wimp who has to hide behind his insurance company due to his lengthy history of litigation suing people to compensate for having to take a back seat to his father who created the business.

If I would have ordered a background on him and his company prior to hiring him, I would have passed on it. I ordered the background check after he sued me. His legal history is unbelievable, both personal and business lawsuits.

I am still fuming over what I have had to endure since that lawsuit which I had to end because I couldn't afford to continue to trial. I hope he rots in hell and NOW I AM GOING TO REPORT THIS INCIDENT TO CALIFORNIA STATE BOARD OF CONTRACTORS which I should have done three years ago.

HIMCO SECURITY DOES IT AGAIN

AUTHOR: Mummak - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Wednesday, January 21, 2009

I have a very similar experience. Himco Security gave me a quote and design for a security fence, metal work only.

They sent out installers who worked a half day and left without finishing the job. It took me over a week to get them back to weld the pieces of metal together, and had to delay my general contractor who was installing the wood. At every juncture the installation and workmanship has been a nightmare. They installers come with no supervisor. They installed metal backwards, un-welded and wobbly? It is a total disaster. The entry phone system took 4 different installers to install and it still does not work properly.
Every delay cost me money, they lie and they are simply con-artists.

I have a security fence with a door that doesn't close and they have now managed to damage the very expensive redwood that I had installed to perfection.

I asked them to discount the job, based on the workmanship and considerable delay to the job,
they have since, instead of coming back with a reasonable offer, threatened to put a lien on my house. Typical Himco.

I would never recommend this company. I have never had such an awful experience, or poorly executed job done on any of my worksites.

HIMCO NATIONAL AKA HIMCO SECURITY PRODUCTS

AUTHOR: Patricia - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Sunday, August 19, 2007

I finally read the rebuttal from Jeffrey Marks who is 5' 2" if he stands on
his toes. He is a short, angry man who has been divorced three times before the age of 50. His litigation history is public record. He said my neighbors probably let my dog out. He has the least integrity of anyone I have ever dealt with.

His installers pulled my dead dog out of their
hole they left open. She was not hit by a car. Marks will get it back ten fold if he continues to sue people out of malice and hatred. He is a horrible person who I hope meets his match and winds up regretting the way he steps on people. He is a lowlife without a doubt and anyone who hires him and his half wit project supervisor who can't remember anything is taking a chance. There are 50 lawsuits on record if one does a background check on Marks, both personal and business related.

Personal Attacks

AUTHOR: Jeffrey - (U.S.A.)

POSTED: Tuesday, May 08, 2007

You can tell when someone is very desperate. She is responsible for the loss of her dog and she is taking it out by making personal attacks about my stature of 5 foot 6.

Our company has 65 employees, a very good credit rating, unblemished contractor's record and over 75,000 satisfied customers.

If you think about it, why would our company be responsible for the life of her dog. The lady left her dog out, probably left the gate open and the dog got hit by a car. The neighbors don't like her and this is how they got even with her.

You can see for yourself the way her house is kept or unkempt.

This is 3 years later and she won't let go that she made a mistake and continues to blame others.
