One Stop Maintenance

This review basically says the same as all of the others that warn everyone to STAY AWAY FROM 1STOP!!!

I'm still fighting to get thousands of dollars of money they owe us from over a year ago. They'll pay the first few invoices to gain trust and then will not pay again.

Their excuse is that their customer isn't paying them so they can't pay us. Their customer didn't call us to perform services,1stop hired us. Brett, the owner, even went as far a breaching their customer's confidentiality by telling me how much money, that specific company that we went to on a very regular basis, owed Brett. That's not my business to know and I'm sure their customer wouldn't appreciate it, whether true or not.

Weekly emails since early 2023 asking where the payments are with the same response of a check will be sent out...

and again the next week , over and over again for almost 12 months. We did get a payment at the end of 2023. The check date was 1.5 months before it was even dropped in the mail. AND then 1-2 days after depositing the check, it got stopped and we received an email asking us to redeposit it due to fraudulent activity.

#1 who would even attempt to redeposit a check, even if they still had it in their possession? #2 the employees at 1Stop must think they are dealing with idiots by asking us to commit fraud by trying to deposit a check more than once.

After speaking to my bank, they put us on a watch just in case 1 Stop sends another check, or a fake check with the same info as the previous check and tries to claim fraud on us. I even talked to their bank about what they are trying to get people to do. Their bank basically told me to stay away from them altogether.

A few weeks after this incident, we received another email asking us to try to redeposit it again!!

I let them know we'll take credit card payments too and since the beginning of January I get the response that they will pay with credit card. They tell me that just about each and every week but has that happened yet as of 2-5-24? NOPE. I also let them know if they want to play it safe, have their bank or credit card company just send us money direct from the bank but they either can't figure out how to do that or just keep making excuses so they don't pay us.

Brett already put one apology letter online to businesses who have used them and claims to be professional but he obviously isn't professional and needs more apology letters posted online.

In one review, the lady mentioned how he threatened her if she didn't take her review down.

They probably think I'll just say screw it and take our losses but no, I will not stop until we get what we are owed! Whatever you do, do not work for this company unless you want to lose your time, your materials and your money.

We've worked with other facility maintenance companies, all of which pay on time and are truly honest companies. A couple would agree to put a deposit on the larger jobs to cover at least the materials.

1stop claims that their low rating are due to competitors and previous employees putting on fake reviews.

Their 3-5 star reviews are probably reviews based on the contractors themselves not 1stop and his employees. A lot of customers don't understand or realize that the contractors are a third-party, not direct employees of 1stop.

Whatever you do, do not become a victim of malicious lies Brett and his employees will tell you just to end up working for free, to pay for Brett's vacations and his fiancé's diamond ring.

This company has been giving me the runaround for months and still no payment. Brett Finkelstein is a thief and a scam artist.

He must have used company funds to go on that fancy trip and pay for a huge engagement ring - his fiance has been flaunting it on instagram. Pay your contractors! For everyone who has not been paid, reach out to the corporate offices of his clients and let them know that he isn't paying the contractors and that you will be placing a mechanic lien.

That is usually a violation of the client's lease which can mean a default. Hurting this company by getting to their revenue stream may be the only way to get paid.
