He came out for an estimate and now doesn’t respond to my messages.

Pocono Home Improvement's reply

I appreciate your feedback, and I'm sorry to hear that you feel your concerns weren't fully addressed. I understand your project involves flooring repair and potential joist repair, which may require a separate estimate for jacking up the floor. I strive to be transparent in my estimates and discuss all aspects of the project. I apologize if there was a miscommunication regarding the separate estimate for the joist repair. While I understand you may not want to continue with my services, I wanted to address your concerns for the record. Thank you for your time.

Very difficult communication. Did not even look at the complete project but gave a low estimate. I would not trust these people. I see other negative reviews online saying they are thieves.

Pocono Home Improvement's reply

I'm very sorry to hear you were dissatisfied with our communication and estimate. I understand your concern about the joist repair and the potential need for a separate estimate for jacking up the floor. We strive to be transparent in our pricing and discuss all aspects of the project before beginning work. I'm particularly concerned about your mention of negative reviews online and accusations of theft. I want to be absolutely clear that those reviews are not related to my company. I believe you may be referring to another business with a similar name. I take accusations of this nature very seriously, and I want to assure you that my business operates with integrity and professionalism. I apologize again for any miscommunication. While I understand you may not want to continue with my services, I wanted to address your concerns for the record and clarify the situation regarding the unrelated online reviews. Thank you.
