Save yourself some heartache and DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. We are going on YEAR THREE of Jon Son, owner of this business ripping us off and it's still ongoing. Back story: Jon Son agreed to do flooring in our home for about $7,000 in October 2015. He did half the work and just stopped. Our home was torn apart, he agreed to 2 weeks of work that turned into 3 months, and at 8 months pregnant, his crew (who later admitted had never done flooring) moved our entire living room into the kitchen and didn't move it back. He told me I could just get a neighbor to help! I ended up moving it BY MYSELF, crying, with a huge pregnant belly. When I told him, he said, I'm stressed with other jobs and overbooked so I'm losing money on your job - sorry I can't help. THIS IS AFTER WE PAID HIM IN FULL. They damaged molding, baseboards, door jams, holes in the drywall, and we're still finding nails sticking out from places where they didn't know what they were doing. I was in tears daily and we had to live in our basement. They polyurethaned dog fur and sawdust into the floors, it's uneven, the color was wrong, and it scrapes your feet when you walk. IT'S A DISASTER. We also purchased 2 tv tables and a shelf that all arrived over a month late, wet from stain that damaged our carpets, and the shelf is tipping over. Their furniture may look nice now, but I guarantee over time it wont last. How is any of this professional from a business owner or even experienced furniture makers? Fast forward to 2017 when we won a judgement in Missoula County Courthouse for some of the cost to do the repairs. Out of the $5,000 he only paid $600 saying he has 6 kids and can't afford to pay anything else, despite agreeing to all of it in mediation only a couple months prior. We found out that his rent alone is $3,000/month and he's constantly having sales and his inventory is always changing - proving he makes a ton of money. We also found out from a private investigator that he has a huge cabinet making business on the side. He has been ripping people off in Hamilton and Missoula for decades - aside from ours, he has 2 other collections against him and they never got a dime because he's emptied his bank accounts and local agencies know him by name and call him a con man. We learned all of this first hand because we hired the SAME collections agencies to attempt any reimbursement. We also found out recently that his company didn't use tongue/groove floor boards but just slabs of wood that they screwed into the subfloor - since we have radiant floor heating, this has caused a huge plumbing issue for us and the entire flooring needs to be torn out! He said that if we removed online reviews, he would start paying us again (hardly makes sense if he's saying he can't afford to pay us back). So I removed my reviews (which is why this is new as of today), yet he STILL didn't pay a dime saying his business is failing. DO NOT USE THIS BUSINESS. He still refuses to answer texts. He still refuses any responsibility or to pay what is owed to us. He refuses to take any responsibility for the damage he did to our home, let alone the awful work he did. He took advantage of me while pregnant and my husband when we were new to town. GO ANYWHERE ELSE.
