Jeff Smith Construction

May 2023

Jeff ordered doors from our shop Sierra Door in Merced. He didn't factor the door cost into his remodel he was doing and decided that we would not get paid. I would not recommend him for any work on your house.

We had the worst experience ever hiring this man. We wanted the siding on the front of our house changed including the trim. He asked for three thousand dollars up front money to start our project so we gave it to him. We found out later that legally a contractor can only ask for 10% of the estimate or $1000 whichever is less. That was in October of 2021. He would promise to start the job but would always have an excuse and then not show up. Weeks would go by and no word. He finally had someone come over and take some of the siding off. Weeks went by and that same "guy" came over and put four boards up that took him four hours to do. I went out to check on his work and it was so bad that we sent the guy home and texted Jeff and fired him. We had hired a con man. That was in the middle of December and we have lost our $3000 have a wall with no siding. DO NOT HIRE THIS MAN.We were fortunate enough to find a contractor who was able to come out the next week and competed the job in a week, just before the rains came.

We hired Jeff Smith to remove and replace the trim and siding from the front of our house. We stupidly gave him up-front money for materials - BIG MISTAKE! Don't ever do that!! Well they can legally ask for no more than 10% of the total estimate.From October 15th, when he started through November 29th when we fired him he only came to our house a few times and only spent about five hours actually working on the house. Lots of texts about when he was going to come by and work with them being mostly no shows followed by texts of excuses. When he finally did put three boards on the house he botched them so badly that we need to have them removed. He also used up and threw away or took home about 20 8' boards for those three 4 foot boards that ended up on the wall. The pictures show the number of nails attached to each of the three boards he installed and the cracked board in lower left hand section of the picture. Very, very poor work.Be cautious of hiring.
