CSLB Refers DeckTech Inc of Grover Beach to California's Attorney General's Office

A construction case involving local deck waterproofing and general contractor Ron McKenna of Decktech Inc was recently referred to the state Attorney General's office by the Contractors State License Board. Case # N 2014 235 was listed on the CSLB listing for Decktech  on October 6th. The referral stems from a construction defect complaint filed by a homeowner in Morro Bay who hired DeckTech to replace a failed tile deck for $60,000 +. Decktech took a deposit far in excess than allowed by state law, which is limited to 10% or $1,000, whichever is less. DeckTech took a deposit of approximately $15,000, far above the $1,000 threshold.

Other complaints in the referral to the A.G. are for over payment of money for work not done, job abandonment, willful departure from accepted trade standards, failure to provide lien releases from sub-contractors and failure to provide mandatory language in the construction contract.  The result of the referral if DeckTech is found guilty is either suspension of the license for a set period of time, or revocation.

This case that will be prosecuted by the AG's office is in addition to a suit brought by the homeowner that was filed last month in Superior Court. The homeowner/plaintiff paid DeckTech a deposit of $15,000.00 when a deposit of a maximum of $1,000 can be taken in advance. Other charges may be added before the matter goes to court.

If you feel you have been taken advantage of by Decktech, we advise you contact the CSLB and consider filing your own complaint. You may be able to recover funds and you will help bolster the current case for a revocation instead of just a suspension.
