      Complaint: ********



      I am rejecting this response because: This was their 4th visit and I can not in good conscience recommend Thrasher services to anyone. I'm not really sure if they are just incapable of delivering on "Promises Made", don't really care once they have your money or if they are doing their best with an inferior product. I must say that the last guy they sent was pretty slick but knew I was right. I have to say, he almost made me optimistic this time but, alas. Caveat Emptor qui verum investigat. Thrasher will be added to my list as mala fide persona non grata.

      Close this as my mother doesn't want them to return. Heck of a way to treat a vet and his family.



      Sincerely,

      Hi *****, thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We appreciate you allowing our Production Manager, *********, to meet with you to discuss your concerns. After his evaluation, we identified some minor settling in our previous work, which we’ll be addressing under our warranty, as well as new damage caused by improper drainage from a downspout. We’re scheduled to complete this warranty work in November, and we look forward to resolving this for you.

      We understand that the discussion around potential causes may not have fully aligned with your concerns, and we apologize if this led to any miscommunication. Clear, accurate communication is a priority for us, and your feedback will help us ensure that our team continues to improve in this area.

      At Thrasher, we stand by our commitment to transparency, quality, and ethical practices. We take pride in being accountable for our work and in learning from each experience to serve our customers better. Claims related to hush money or unethical practices don’t reflect our values, and we want to reassure you that we do not condone or engage in such practices.

      Thank you again for your patience and for giving us the chance to make things right. If there’s anything more you’d like us to address, please know we’re here and ready to help. We’ll also follow up after the warranty work to ensure everything meets your expectations.

      Last year I found mold in our basement. We ended up finding some serious cracks that hadn’t been repaired correctly before we bought our home and thus water was leaking in and creating mold. We paid over 2k to get the mold removed. We then paid thrasher over 5k to fix the leaks and waterproof. My husband replaced the wall and was unable to get around to the flooring. Once rainy season hit, we noticed water POURING in through the floor and wall, and were putting towels down to catch it. When I reached out via text to our thrasher repair man, he said “no waterproofing was done, I should make sure my door is sealed correctly because it’s probably that”. First of all, the water is pouring in under the wall, there’s no water on the tile which is where it would be if it were coming in through the door. Secondly, if no waterproofing was done why does my bill state that over 3k was paid DIRECTLY towards waterproofing? I’m just so frustrated that we put so much of our savings into fixing this as insurance said they couldn’t cover it as it was repaired incorrectly by previous owner, real estate agent said it’s not worth it to go after previous owner bc he would fight it out and drag it out and make it more costly. We put all this money into waterproofing, water is pouring in and thrasher claims zero responsibility. Oh they also charged us for concrete repair, swore they would fill all our cracks and when I asked why none of the cracks were filled, he said they never said they’d do that. So what did we pay for?! So now what?! (All of the photos said they are too large to upload, reach out if you would like them, I’ve saved everything).

      Thank you, ******* for informing us about your concerns as
      we absolutely want to make sure you trust us and have a positive experience with
      Thrasher. One of our best team members and
      managers came out and was able to visit with you at your home on Tuesday September,
      17th. We apologize the original crew did not live up to yours or
      ours expectations but we will ensure that the work we are coming back out to do on your patio and driveway will be superior work. ******* and *****, also
      talked with you through with what was originally sold and what work was completed and the plan moving forward for waterproofing. We completely respect that you and your husband want to wait on deciding to move forward with the waterproofing project until you are ready. We will continue to be here every step of the way as we
      rebuild our trust with you and ensure you are completely satisfied.

      Hello *******. We apologize for the inconvenience that you had to endure over the past couple weeks with completing the rebuild of your porch. Thrasher employs reputable employees and even though this project that ***** agreed to complete for you was not part of Thrashers work, ***** still did not deliver on his promise. The lack of communication and follow up is not what Thrasher believes in and we are sorry that this situation occurred. ***** has now been able to get a hold of you and agreed to refund your payment in full. Thank you for reaching out and allowing us to make this right for you.

      ******* ****** *******) to provide a second opinion. ******* tapped the floor with the end of a four-foot level and said that there was a hollow space under the slab (I question whether it’s possible to tell through 31/2 inches of concrete covered by carpeting). ******* said the foundation was fine. ******* recommended foam injection under the entire floor to lift and stabilize the floor. He quoted a cost of $9,459.22, which I accepted.

      My concern is that if I had been less familiar with house construction or had been more gullible, I would have paid nearly $29,000 more than was necessary for repairs that were not needed and could have actually caused damage to my undamaged foundation. I am concerned that other elderly people in similar situations may be taken advantage of and provided unnecessary and costly repairs by **** ****** ** ************** ** *********
