Why Don't We Get Sued? Because...

Decktech Has Contractors License Reinstated - Settles Another Claim Against It's Surety Bond

DeckTech's  surety bond claim issues are certainly costing the company money-the only way to get your license back from a surety bond claim that was paid by the bond holder is to reimburse them for all costs of the claim. Investigation costs and any claim amount paid MUST be repaid before the bond is reinstated. 

As of 2/12/15 CSLB says Decktech's license is active again after suspending it on 2/4/15 for a bond cancellation. 

If you are considering hiring Decktech, please note that they have several strikes against them-
they have an active complaint disclosure on the CSLB website with their license on the line for revocation or suspension because of a complaint by an owner who was allegedly harmed by DeckTech's alleged illegal business practices-taking to large of a deposit, failing to provide lien releases etc. 
Then there's their history of license suspensions- November 2013 for failing to have a workers compensation policy in effect, a scheduled bond cancellation in August 2014 for pending claims against the bond and the latest license suspension from February 4th 2015 to the 11th.  
Decktech Inc has had their license suspended twicew in 15 months, In November 2013 for lack of workers comp insurance and again in Feb 2015 after their surety bond was cancelled.
November 2013-Decktech's License Is Suspended for Lack of Workers Comp Insurance. 


August 2014 Decktech's bond was cancelled for outstanding claims against the surety bond. DeckTech kept their bond by paying the claims against their bond. 
Decktech's bond was cancelled and their license suspended when their surety bond was cancelled for a claim against the bond. The bond was reinstated after Decktech reimbursed their surety for any losses paid out.
February 4, 2015 Decktech's bond is cancelled by their surety carrier for a claim that resulted in a pay out. Decktech reinstated their bond by paying the surety company back for their losses. 
Decktech still faces serious charges brought by CSLB in regards to a case being currently investigated. They will either lose their license via a suspension or revocation because of the seriousness of the case and allegations. 

Unfortunately CSLB's website is not set up for consumers to see the whole history of a company before they make a decision on whom to hire. Looking at the website today you might assume DeckTech's license is squeeky clean, but after seeing the history here, know you know the truth and can make prudent business decisions. 

Got a DeckTech story for us? We'd love to hear it!
