Your Personal Gardener & Arborist (YPGA) signed a construction contract with Stier Construction (Fred & Patty Stier, owners of Stier and Dan Scheibe, Vice President) in January. Stier estimated the work completion of NLT July. The sub contractor for demolition stated he wanted to complete the demo in Winter as this was his available time. Demo contractors swore up and down about Stier not communicating at all prior to and during demolition. Stier finally authorized the demolition (phase 1) in June. YPGA hadn't heard from Dan in almost two months after demo started and we performed a walk through to get a status update. At this point with the extreme lack of any communication from Stier we thought that Dan had quit working with Stier or some other extreme instance because of the no communication. Then, in early July, YPGA performed an onsite walkthrough with questions on change orders for the remodel of our commercial location. Following our email with questions for change orders, Fred replied with their "quitting" and will be billing our bank for 82% completion with no explanation given to us on even why they were quitting. Our banker called saying "she has NEVER seen this in her entire career" and was wondering what was occurring as we have had our loan and monies for the project secured since last April. At the final walk through to complete the demolition, Fred did not even show up. Dan & Paul (a manager) showed up (15 min late) to perform the walkthrough. We asked Dan why they quit mid-work and no reason was given, simply "I don't know and he was sorry". After almost one month with no response following the site walk from Stier, we sent another follow up email. The response from Stier was demanding YPGA to "pay us in full and then we are only doing some of the items covered remaining for the demolition". In summary Stier Construction had come highly recommended to us by friends of our family who own local businesses in Mukwonago which had new buildings and remodeling performed by Stier. All said "hire them and you won't be disappointed". Dan Scheibe is very personable in person, will tell you everything you want to hear and then disappear without any communication for months on end. When we would send emails for status updates carbon copying Fred Stier, Patty Stier, & Dan, we would get rude emails from Fred, completely different from the in site meetings and communications made by Dan. We were so excited to begin a new chapter of our business with Stier Construction. Instead what was estimated to take 3-4 months total has rolled into almost a year (11 months to date) since we began meetings with Stier construction in the fall of 2021. Interest rates have more than doubled, we're no longer even eligible for the SBA loan that was available and now we have paid interest only loans and utility bills for almost a year with no new contracting company even scheduled to replace this mess. Our hard work to schedule, meet, answer questions, and go through the entire hiring process was all for nothing and now we have to start it at square one. Attempting to explain a partial demolition and incomplete construction plans to any new contractors is messy and stressful during the busiest time of the year to attempt to hire a new construction company. We have been overly laid back through this and Stier took this as an excuse to push us off and not even supply a written timeline with construction dates. As of today's current date, we still have not received any contact from Stier Construction to help close or even at the very least complete the demolition of our new building. I hope for any new customers this review is taken into consideration when they're trusting in a company to help fulfill their construction needs as I would not recommend Stier Construction for any of your remodeling or new construction needs. We have still not received our architectural plans, etc. on things that they put a lien on us for (keep in mind they quit on ou
