Tell us has your experience with this business or person been good? What's this?
Our dream turned into a nightmare with Janks Construction. After two years in arbitration, which we won, we learned that Janks used an illegal contract, took a much bigger deposit than allowed by law, used unlicensed sub contractors, breached the illegal contract, and did work that in multiple areas failed to meet building codes.

As of 3/18/08, Janks has failed to pay the amount awarded us by the American Arbitration Association.

All Is Well With Janks

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.

 

Regards 

Mark Zeitlin

Janks Construction Charged Sales Tax and Kept The Money

So the latest on our saga with Janks Construction is that Steve Janks charged us sales tax on materials that sales tax had already been paid on by his vendors. I wonder if he thinks he's still in South Africa. Here in California there is no value added tax. Sales tax is paid only once. Mr. Janks has refused to refund the "sale tax" money he took from us and put in his pocket. More to come as events develop...
