Adam was hired to finish the basement to for a Tonia Etoh and performed.

He was flexible to the demands of Tony and Tonia to add work to the project and provided change orders at the minimal cost and also cared about the quality of the products and the workmanship

Youll see a video attached to this of the finished basement. While the workforce extended from the original contract.

Extra work was also performed from the original contract by Adam and the guys working there. Everyone for the basement was paid and Adam stayed to make sure the last punchlist item was completed.

He even came back and replace the mirror for free installed extra outlets for free, install the garbage disposal to a sink for free, and made sure that any extra work was taking care of

During this process, he also helped design the backyard of their house with a swimming pool, moving the septic field, providing a passport construction and providing estimate for all the work

During that process, extra work was also added

Tania altered the contract of the project

She also refused to meet and discuss the project from January until April because she was upset that Adam held off pouring concrete in freezing weather and protected the pool area so that it meant the best quality for the Concrete one poured

He then altered his contract for Tania because she wanted to pay trades directly

Adam allowed this and then was kicked off the project because Tania wanted all trades and used her property manager to run the project

While there were issues on the project like most projects, work was being performed trades were getting paid and the work was progressing

We hired Adam Shaf, the owner and operator of Build n Build, Backyard Escapes, LLC, Adam Builds, and many other inactive company names, in August 2022 to build a pool and other home improvement jobs. Although the work for the backyard started in May 2023, upon our prepayment, he has consistently delayed or stalled essential milestones of the backyards project and has failed to communicate with us who the subcontractors and vendors are working on our property.

Since the beginning of the project, I have paid $276,648.70. To date, my pool is incomplete, the pergola has not been erected, and my backyard remains unfinished. This is extremely disappointing as I was made to believe I would be able to enjoy my backyard with my young children for the latter half of the summer.

Each time I as for progress updates, Adam keeps postponing productivity with no valid reason although every payment has been made to complete important points of the project.

Although we have repeatedly requested Adam fulfill his contractual obligations and provide the corresponding invoices for construction and work performed, he has failed to do so to date. Rather, Adam meets our requests and demands with excuses, inappropriate comments, and unprofessional conduct.
