VISION MANAGEMENT - CASEY BRINKMAN DO NOT USE-TOOK MONEY FOR SUPPLIES AND DID NOT DELIVER. corinth , Texas
We were having a swimming pool installed and hired Casey Brinkman of Vision Management LLP to put up a new decorative aluminum fence around our pool and to build a new patio cover to sit under. We made the HUGE mistake of giving him $2500 up front to buy the materials for the fence and the patio cover. Mr Brinkman did try to do what he said at first, he came out and dug the holes for the patio supports and cemented them in the ground however this was after multiple attempts to call him because our pool company was about to pour the concrete and the poles had to be in the ground that day. Unfortunately once the supports were concreted in, our pool contracted told us the Mr Brinkman did not measure properly and each support was in the wrong place. We call him and told him the issue and he said no problem he would have someone out the next day....the never came. We finally sawed the posts down ourselves and told him that we would scrap the patio and just have him do the fence. We felt like we had already paid him for the materials and we hoped we could at least break even if he would just bring the fence and put it up. Well we never saw one piece of fencing. After 20+ phone calls to this guy, who wouldnt answer and would only responed a few times by text messages and about 3 weeks passing we did get some shingles, 2x4s and a couple pieces of siding delivered in our back yard one day out of the blue. We asked for the fencing materials repeatedly and didnt get them, asked for our money back and nothing. So for $2500 we have about $150 worth of building material for a patio that we cant have built because they already poured the cement. I should have checked the guy out more, and never paid up front. ALL the reviews from his website are 5 stars, however I seriously doubt anyone who runs a business like this guy could have reviews such as this. Also after investigating we found that he does have a criminal record, and nothing he has is in his own name so good luck suing the guy, because you will only get a judgement thats worth nothing since he has nothing in his own name.

Somehow your fuzzy math doesnt address the amounts listed by the OP. If youre REALLY attempting damage control, at least correctly address the amounts. Somehow YOUR account (if we are to believe it) comes up $1100.00 short of what the OP claims was paid.
.
Your tired clich of (you) Can't please everyone!" is one of the most misused statements by those who most probably rarely please ANYONE. Golly! The actions of other contractor and the homeowner, if we are also to believe your version, are solely responsible for all the problems.

Some of what is in this report from Jeff K who resides at (((Redacted))) in Denton, TX is true. Although it is very unfortunate that Mr. Keys had such a terrible experience I can assure him that the feeling is mutual. We were hired by Mr. Keys to construct a patio and a fence just as he has stated in his report, but Mr. Keys is forgetting some very important parts to this story. From the beginning there was problems with scheduling the job due to the fact that Mr. Keys was also having a pool installed and this prevented us from having a set schedule to complete his projects. We were at the mercy of his pool contractor on when we could get started on our projects, because as Mr. Keys mentioned they were pouring the patio slab. We did not in any way avoid or attempt to avoid Mr. Keys and we apologize that he feels this way. We are a fairly busy company and it does some times take a few hours for us to get back with a customer. This leads into the next issue we did set post and they were a little bit off. Mr. Keys was informed that someone would come out and move them but before we could return the next day Mr. Keys had already removed them. We tried to assist him in every way possible. We just could not drop every thing the company was doing to jump when he wanted us to jump. We would have gladly corrected any problems that he had with his project. To address the claim that we took his money, that is simply not true. After Mr. Keys terminated us from his projects. We delivered his patio material that cost in the range of $1200.00 dollars not $150.00 dollars. As for the remaining money we spent money on pulling permits for Mr. Keys projects which ranged in the $200.00 range and lets not forget we did preform work on the projects, this also cost in labor. We in no way ripped Mr. Keys out of money and his claims are ridiculous and just plain untrue. As for the personal attacks on myself Casey Brinkman, Mr. Keys needs to get his facts strait. It takes a big person to state lies on a website and he should be aware of slandering laws and the law suits that can be brought against him. Vision Management has many satisfied customers and we will gladly provide references to any customer that would like another opinion about our company. Thank you for reading both sides of the story.
