Scam artists! I
hired CED Development in November of 2013 for a simple 3-4 day fence
project that still isn't finished. This was a horrible experience that
consisted from excuses galore, to credit card fraud. I do not recommend
the use of there services. Period! I don't really know where to
begin, so here goes. When Tony Pinzine, owner of CED Development
arrived at my house he assured me that he would get the job done in a
timely manner and that he knew what he was doing because he'd been doing
it for many years. I believed him until I saw the first few posts set.
They were so far from being straight that I made him pull them out after
they had already been set in concrete. Then came the part where he said
that I didn't need a building permit, because my town doesn't have a
building inspector and the county wouldn't find out. Well, they did
after I fired him... Shocker.
Now the fun begins. Even though it was November and I'm in Michigan,
There was ample time to finish this project. I mean the gound wasn't
even frozen yet. But after I paid a partial amount of the contracted
amount, he became invisible. Always giving me excuses for not coming out
and working. " Our truck broke down", "There's to much snow", mind you I
have pictures and text messages stating and showing that I spent time
shoveling The 3" of snow around the 200ft perimeter and he still never
showed up. "We drank to much last night", "It's to cold out my
compressor will explode". It's ironic that he had hand nails sitting
outside next to my deck. Not to metion I started to finish the fence
with my 65 year old father when it was 10 degrees outside in mid
December and I had no problem at all. I also own a business where I use a
compressor outside all year long, and have never had a problem except
for my air tools freezing up once in a while. I also have
pictures of his horrible workmanship. from crooked posts, to 11+ foot
spans between posts, which anyone that knows anything about building
knows that a span that great in any fence will eventually start to sag.
Not to metion he left mounds of dirt all over the place, it was a mess.
After I fired him I found out that the partial payment that he insisted
he needed for materials was used to rent a van(for personal use), and
pay of most of his debt to the rental company. He told me that this was
the only way he could accept a credit card because he didn't have a
merchant. This probably explains why he kept giving me the run around,
he didn't have any money to finish the fence. I have documentation of
the rental too. The last name on my contract and the last name on the letter from ED's are not the same. Just another nail in the coffin for ANTHONY PINZINE! Some of my pictures are to large to download to this site, but you can check them out on [redacted]. Do not hire CED Development! You've been warned!
