    ***** ****, owner of Dato Builders, was hired to build my lakefront dream house in *********. He cut corners, used cheap materials, worked only 2 to 4 hours a day, trashed my property, and stole money from me, etc. My house was built so poorly that in order to repair it I have to move out for a minimum of 3 months because the entire house has to be gutted and repaired including the foundation, roofing, windows, siding, shiplap and insulation due to water damage, electrical work, septic, etc. My house basically has to be torn down to the framing and rebuilt. I sued him in 2023 and won the lawsuit because the evidence spoke for itself and in *************************************** $230,000 in damages. He is still trying to convince the court that he "stands by his work." I do not recommend hiring this business.

BBB Business Profiles are provided solely to assist you in exercising your own best judgment. BBB asks third parties who publish complaints, reviews and/or responses on this website to affirm that the information provided is accurate. However, BBB does not verify the accuracy of information provided by third parties, and does not guarantee the accuracy of any information in Business Profiles.

When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.

BBB Business Profiles generally cover a three-year reporting period, except for customer reviews. Customer reviews posted prior to July 5, 2024, will no longer be published when they reach three years from their submission date. Customer reviews posted on/after July 5, 2024, will be published indefinitely unless otherwise voluntarily retracted by the user who submitted the content, or BBB no longer believes the review is authentic. BBB Business Profiles are subject to change at any time. If you choose to do business with this company, please let them know that you checked their record with BBB.

As a matter of policy, BBB does not endorse any product, service or business. Businesses are under no obligation to seek BBB accreditation, and some businesses are not accredited because they have not sought BBB accreditation. BBB charges a fee for BBB Accreditation. This fee supports BBB's efforts to fulfill its mission of advancing marketplace trust.
