Complaint Review: Dan Gonzalez Patio Enhancement Group

Dan Gonzalez from Patio Enhancement Group sells patio solutions for restaurants around the country. The way that he sources his work is by finding contractors that will complete the work that he needs done. Once those contractors are complete with their work, he tells the restaurant owners to pay their final bill, and does not pay the contractors that furnished the work and materials. This happened at Kaiser Tiger, a restaurant in Chicago, that will most likely have a lien placed on it for the labor that was furnished in the building. This also happened at Sogno, a restaurant in Wheaton, IL, where Patio Enhancement Group was responsible for the waterproofing of the building. When the help of OneStop Pro was used to acquire materials to complete the weatherproofing of the structure, Dan used the help to justify passing off the entire responsibility of the building's waterproofing to OneStop Pro. He left the business owner without options, and as a result, OneStop Pro did step up to the plate and handle the work. Patio Enhancement Group will most likely be receiving a lawsuit for that gem, as well. Do your best to distance yourself from this business and its owner. If there are issues with his work, he will not take care of them, whether by intention or a lack of ability, and neither will he pay the people that did the work, opening businesses up for lawsuits and contractors up for major loss.

Desired Resolution / Outcome Desired Resolution: Other (requires explanation) Desired Outcome: For Dan to own up to his responsibilities, and pay for the work he had done, to save the restaurant owner and the contractor the headache of chasing down their money.
