JanksConstruction, Janks Construction, Steve Janks Unsafe Electrical Wiring, Unsafe Stairs, Unsafe Windows and More San Diego California
Steve Janks appears to think the only mistake he made on our remodel job was not pulling permits. This is simply amazing. He was found guilty of stringing lamp shade wire through walls, installing windows too small to meet fire egress codes, a stairway that was not to code and much more. As he testified that all work was done to code, it's logical to conclude that he either did not know what the code required or did not know what his employees were doing.
He remains unapologetic to this day even though it is pretty clear to me that we or our guests could have been injured or worse. Why Janks refused to correct the issues we, our attorney and inspectors identified to him is something only he can address. We not only asked him to complete the job and correct deficiencies, we demanded it in writing.
Only when he refused to fulfill his obligations to us were we left with no choice but to litigate. At the end of the day, it's worked out for the best. If Janks had fixed the obvious deficiencies that we identified initially, I doubt that we would have found out through experts about the safety hazards Janks created in our home, perhaps until it was too late. I thank my lucky stars just about every day for that good fortune.

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.
